Welcome to another Wednesday Weatherfield round-up and to catch up on the latest goings on, on Coronation Street. I've had a few weeks off as doing press day events usually means I’m weeks in front with storylines and spoilers, but I've now caught up. That said, I've another event in the pipeline so we shall see how this month pans out!
Tonight starts at Sarah and Adam’s Redbank pad, with Adam getting deluged with solicitor work, so he's unable to make the football match with Harry. The late licence is granted but he’s still busy with work, much to his wife’s irritation. Sarah despatches the match tickets to Shona so she finds herself free for the evening. Damon overhears the cafe conversation and heads over to her flat armed with a bottle of vino and a cache of sweet nothings to whisper in her ear.
The clandestine meet is soon interrupted when Gail brings Harry home from school! Sarah's lied about her whereabouts and her mum is quick to spot that something is going off. With Gail out of the way, it’s Harry who sees Sarah actually kissing Damon.
Harry then decides to draw a picture of the event to show his granny! Gail confronts Sarah with the evidence and she admits the truth, and about the fact that she wanted to ruin the late licensing chances. Later, Sarah tells Damon they've been caught and that things must stop, whilst she lies to Harry to shut him up.
Meanwhile, the Baileys haven’t really had much comedy, have they? Ed debuted by knocking a hole through Ken’s living room wall, for the renovations, but we've had little funnies from them since, until now? Fresh from meeting their ex-very posh neighbours at Debbie’s hotel cuisine night, Ed and Aggie are embarrassed about swapping Alderley Edge for Weatherfield and living in squalor at N0.3 (that makeover hasn't done much for them, I guess). Ed tells Dee-dee that they won't stop texting to arrange a posh dinner party, so Agie harangues Tim and Sally into letting them use No.4 for a soiree, instead. A house-swap? I can only guess this will lead to shenanigans, especially since the guest stars playing Patrick and Yvette are both comedy gold.
Elsewhere, Ryan’s suddenly crystal clear with the fact that he’s been catfished and Daisy insists on playing dumb. Carla is hellbent on getting to the bottom of who’s been playing with his emotions. Ryan unloads all of this on Daisy and she blames Justin and Karen.
Back from the STC, Max must wear an electronic tag as part of his licensing conditions. Starting rehabilitation, Max writes a letter for Alya and manages to get it delivered to Speed Daal. Alya's stressed at the solicitors, blowing up in front of Sarah and admits her misery from the Weatherfield race riots and Max’s hand in the violence. Adam offers her some gentle advice. Alya receives the letter and is furious at Max’s indifference, catching him in the street to throw the letter back in his face. Gary splits up the ruckus but lends a sympathetic ear to Max's plight. Gary then tells Alya he’s smoothed things over and Max will now leave her alone. Gav calls Max to arrange a catch-up with his girlfriend, and he arrives home late to the police paying another visit. He’s been spotted visiting Speed Daal! Shona promises to keep a closer hold on him.
In other news, Todd’s still single, David and Glenda got a great scene together, and the charity shop does a great sideline in Dad jokes!
What did you think of tonight’s offering? I am @rybazoxo if you want to tweet and let me know!

I don’t like this overacting from the woman that plays Yvette. We can get that somebody is snobby without the over exaggerated accent and facial expressions.
ReplyDeleteSarah is such a spoiled brat. Adam is working hard to build up the business, yet she expects him to be at her beck and call. Why meet for lunch when they live together? If she really loved Adam she wouldn't be flirting with Damon.
ReplyDeleteIt was bad enough when Sarah attempted to sabotage Nick's plans for a late licence to help increase business in the bistro but she has sunk to a new low gaslighting her son to keep quiet about her cheating on Adam with Damon.
ReplyDeleteThat's emotional child abuse and Sarah has no remorse for what she did to Harry who drew a [picture to show his gran what mommy is up to!
Sarah is more than a spoilt brat, she's a narcissist who doesn't care who she hurts as long as she gets her way!
I loved that Deedee called her out on it! As for Gail, for her Sarah Lou can do no wrong. I was shocked by her reaction and how she spoke to Adam.
DeleteNot long ago, Adam's office was scrounging so hard for business that they had to stoop to Damon. All of a sudden he's got more work than he knows what to do with? Cmon now.
ReplyDeleteI am dreading the promised "hilarity" at Aggie's dinner party. Isn't she supposed to be a terrible cook anyway? If she actually likes Yvette (why?) and wants to keep her friendship, Aggie should tell the truth. That Ed lost all their money gambling, so they had to downsize. A true friend would sympathise. But it's hard to believe the couples were ever friends. They seem to have nothing in common.
ReplyDeleteI know it's difficult to ask a young child to remember and say lines but I thought Harry had a pretty weird accent for a Manchester lad!
ReplyDeleteHe is a sweet little boy, but I think they should cast a better actor for Harry. He also suffers from soap child syndrome, barely speaking until puberty. In real life a 7-year-old would be chattering all the time.
ReplyDeleteSarah's affair with Damon was bad enough, but after her attempt to gaslight her son, I really hope Adam sticks to his guns and doesn't forgive her. And of course he should unfire DeeDee who is probably a better lawyer than he is
chartreuse,I wasn't too shocked by Gail's attitude towards Adam as she also took Nick's side when he and Kylie betrayed David with their drunken one night stand.
ReplyDeleteAs far as Gail is concerned,Sarah and Nick could do no wrong and David could do no right!
