In tonight's Corrie, Summer and the gang have prepared the charity stall, and various residents have donated generously. It's a good storyline feeder; Daniel donated some of Sinead’s old things, Carla empties her glamorous wardrobe, and Gemma grabs a bargain denim jacket. Summer is kept busy but remains downhearted following the split from her boyfriend. As Aaron works at the garage, Asha acts as a relationship conduit, telling him about Summer’s sadness, but he admits to being too busy coping with his Dad’s rehab. I was hoping Corrie could get Peter Barlow involved here, but it seems he is also too busy protesting with that pal of Spider. With Gemma blagging herself a nice denim jacket, Chesney's mortified when meeting her at Roy's, she goes to the toilet, he goes to answer her mobile, and manages to find a positive pregnancy test in the jacket pocket!
I imagine Chesney was envisaging hitting himself over the head with a brick again but was soon relieved when Gemma told him it wasn't hers. Gemma then wonders whose pregnancy test it is! Carla and Daisy are soon suspected, but when Summer tells Paul she’s misplaced her denim jacket, and Gemma tells her brother about her bargain purchase, the secret's revealed. Summer is pregnant! By the end of the episode, she tells Aaron the news - the gloomy duo is back together.
Meanwhile, it's doppelganger duplicity, as tonight's episode gave us the tail end of Fern's jewellery heist, fleecing the shop while dressed up as Bernie. After splashing the cash at the Rovers with Dev, the police are soon knocking on Bernie's door, and when shown the CCTV, she knows it's Fern, but will anyone believe her?
Sam’s still pushing for a meeting with Harvey, and today is the anniversary of Natasha’s murder (I'm still fuming with you, Corrie!),he's finding it a struggle. At the anniversary memorial Bistro meal, Nick delivers a rather unsubtle speech - Sam is not impressed, deciding not to read out his poem, instead, he tells the family about his letters to the killer. My stand-out scene from tonight's offering was that between Audrey and Sam -a masterclass in Coronation Street. Audrey thinks she persuaded him to stop writing letters to Harvey, but he later tells Hope he was lying. Steven also visits Audrey and sees his ex-wife Gabrielle having her hair done. Later on, we see him on the phone with some business contact - it seems he is still trying to fleece Audrey for her cash. I also think Glenda mentioned seeing blood on a jacket at the bring-and-buy and we know she's no fan of Steven. Was this a foreboding future thread - could it be Leo's blood, perhaps?
Elsewhere, Stu tells Dee-Dee about his guilt for Eliza. We then find out that Lucy and Bridget have been arrested, charged, and sentenced - all in one week. Stu is now in limbo with his acquittal, whilst social services tell them that his granddaughter has to go into care.
