Coronation Street Episode Review Monday 27th February
We start with a rare view of a Barlow chest. Ex-hunk Peter is flashing the flesh in his dressing gown and fingering a watch which is apparently worth £15K. I'm a bit confused about the watch; did we see Peter find it? Is it Rufus's? Is Peter going to get arrested for handling stolen goods? Later, he tries to persuade Carla to leave work and says he has fifteen thousand pounds in savings. I'm pretty sure you can't sell something for its full value unless you have proof of ownership.
Anyway, Carla's got other stuff going on as Stephen tries to launch a coup in the factory. Unfortunately (for him), hiss banana republic fails as a) Faye, returning from the menopause and still as sunny as ever ("we're happy!" she yells), tips off Carla by text and b) the workers reject his proposal. This is like a meeting of the Komisariat in 1936. Or maybe the 1922 Committee. But instant karma's gonna get Stephen as Carla majestically returns, humiliates him in front of Dick Cavendish, calls him "a scheming parasite", tells him to go and clean the counter tops and later sacks him. Sadly, by the end of the ep, he's reinstated as Rufus Cocaineface has refused to do the Underworld deal without him. Why is Rufus so invested in Stephen? Does he still think Mr Reid will tell Mrs Rufus about the blow 'n' hookers afternoon? Or is Stephen going to cut him in when he finally manages to take over the factory? Ever since it was Baldwin's Casuals, someone's been trying to take over the factory, which is surprising since it teeters on the edge of bankruptcy in an even numbered year and is burned down in an odd numbered year.
Also in Stephen news, Elaine continues with her doomed plan to make him hubby#2 by buying a flat with him! Unusual, but it could work (it won't).
And also in Faye news, Jackson has been in touch saying he, Miley and his parents are back in the UK and does she want to see Miley? No, says Faye, but I think we all see the upcoming storyline, non?
Over at no. 1, Double D have invited Ken, Jenny and, for some reason, Gemma to a wedding cake tasting session. I think Hilda Ogden on twitter said it better than I can:
Unfortunately, the deliverer of said cakes is Justin the sexy stalker and Daisy answers the door. Daniel contacts the delivery company to try to get Justin taken off the route, but they say there is nothing they can do. In the meantime, Daisy uses Gemma as a guinea pig in case the cakes are poisoned (Gem likes all of them apart from the ginger one) and the stalker storyline rumbles on.
Paul also goes back to work but it doesn't go well as he almost removes his finger cutting some wood and Ed sends him home. Billy declines to turn the other cheek and says they should sue Carla.
Finally, Daryan gets an exist storyline as he goes off to Nottingham, or possibly Waterloo Road, to find his brother.

Coronation Street Episode Review Friday 24 February 2023
Good evening. T'Street started this evening with Daniel, Daisy and the hidden menace - where was Bertie - he is 4 and would be running around causing mayhem at breakfast time - where has he been locked up? Daniel takes on being Daisy's social media monitor for the day managing to post a poor recommendation for an ice-sculpting business (using Shakespeare) and tagging the wrong company (there are two ice-sculptors in Weatherfield?). Daisy spots Justin with a bunch of flowers and not being aware that he is visiting Shuttleworth's to see his late mother Daisy smacks his nose - observed by George - although the freeze frame shows she missed! Justin and George explain but Justin later takes it further and lodges a complaint with the police.
Stephen and Elaine have a coffee at Roy's where she announces her intention to buy a flat in Red Bank and Stephen suddenly has a lot of money in his personal account (has Carla really made him a signatory on the factory account already?). Shona is behind the counter and Nina talks her into going to the detention centre to see Max with the rest of the family - as Shona tells David she is doing it for Max not for David. Max lies to Lily about the cause of his injuries but the family appear to get along better than recently. When they come to leave Max gives David a huge hug, calls him Dad and apologises. Once home Shona gives David a strict talking to - they can sort it out but he must never make another mistake.
Gemma has difficulties with power suppliers and is listening to a lot of music whilst on hold. When she finally gets an email she is told that due to incorrect earlier estimates she owes them £4000. Paul will be back to work shortly following his arm injury and he offers to help pay the bill. (More seriously how, on such a small property, has such a huge bill arisen and what has happened to the write-off under the back billing rules?). More seriously Paul finds that picking up a wine glass is difficult - does he have an undiagnosed problem from his injury? Just after he has got back together with Billy too!
Mr Nugent has an arrest target in his sights. Outside Speed Dahl Maria has a meeting with Councillor Len Cameron who has donated £7000 to the new refugee centre appeal. To prove it he has arranged a photo opportunity with a giant charity cheque. At which point Mr Nugent and the rest of Weatherfield's finest descend to arrest the councillor for his connections funding Griff and the others. Later we hear that Blake received a 12 year sentence and that Len Cameron was also Maria's mystery online stalker and responsible for the death threats she received from RedPilled100.
Mo returns with a huge smile and believes his interview with immigration has gone well. And it turns out that he has met Daryan's brother and there is now proof that the brother is in the country!
Following the complaint PC Heywood invites Daisy to the station to answer a few questions - and there is not much other than Daisy hit him! Another officer appears to advise that Justin has dropped his complaint and Daisy walks away. Justin later visits the Rovers and asks to talk to Daisy. Justin says that his mother would want him to be happy and with Daisy he will be happy. Justin tells Daisy that he is willing to give her another chance. Daisy responds by calling him deluded and tells him to go away. Later Daisy is eating a takeaway by the bus stop when Justin appears out of the dark. Daisy threatens him with a stalking protection order but Justin is there to give her one last chance - he was humiliated in the Rovers. They argue and he calls her a self-centred, ungrateful bitch. He says she led him on. He walks away and she is left feeling very upset.
