Coronation Street Episode Review Monday 29th April

ROY - CORONATION STREET - ITV

So has Roy got a phone in his room? He seems to be constantly on the blower. My boyfriend points out that the phone is plugged into a network (not phone) socket and the telephone base isn't plugged into anything. Tch. Yeah, I have to live with this. Anyway, Roy rings Nina but Shona passes it to Carla and Roy puts the phone down.

NINA - CORONATION STREET - ITV

The projector that Roy has also been given shows Max and Lauren discussing something in the cafe but he can't remember what it was. He snaps at his tame guard and says he wants to be left alone. Nina turns up for her visit, but Roy doesn't because he's collapsed in his cell. He's sent off to Kate Oates Memorial hospital, where he's diagnosed with low blood sugar and dehydration. I think they might just send him back to chokey with a bottle of water and a Snickers rather than giving him a bed but anyway, where Roy is, D.S. Swain is there too and she rocks up to interrogate her chief suspect, but he fobs her off. Roy later tells Carla this is the end of their friendship and he doesn't want her to visit him again. As if!

By the way, I managed to get hold of Hope, Eliza and Sam's Monday Murder Club case notes and here's what they have on Joel:

1. Has a receipt for jewellery (that he claimed was for cufflinks) at the same time Lauren received some bling from her mystery man.
2. Known liar.
3. Suspicious ex-wife turning up just to say how great he was.
4. He now has a reason to disappear (his daughter, or maybe "daughter") to cover up his comings and goings.
5. Never knows what to do with his hands.

I reckon the teens have got him bang to rights.

 

Tim suggests a top trumps system to mark the women Steve has matched with on the dating app. Surely they have to match with him first? This mainly seems to be an excuse for Tim to do an extremely camp Cilla Black impression in the cab office.

Leanne, all excited from her upload, wants to bring in street food carts or something. I think Chef is going to have a meltdown at that idea, non? Also what happened to the late licence that was such a plot point a couple months ago? Also#2, it feels like that, erm, unpopular storyline with Toyah last week, combined with Leanne's obsession with the Institute, is purely to push Toyah and Nick together. I mean, they've got form what with Leanne and Toyah both going out with Peter and also dallying with Imran. Toyah has had an idea too - bringing to bring in ex-offenders to work at the Bistro; this would solve their staffing issues at least. Leanne can't reality code this and says no way. Isn't she an ex-offender herself?

AMY - PAUL - CORONATION STREET - ITV

Paul uses a different taxi firm than Streetcars who turn up late in the wrong cab, then the disabled toilet in the students' union is locked. He rails against how society treats disabled people and also swears on air, but to no-one's surprise, nobody complains (if you can't swear on student radio, where can you swear?). The students start a crowd-funder to raise money for Paul's MND group - hopefully not by donning fancy dress and selling rag-mags. A mysterious man hears the broadcast and writes down Paul's name and details. Not a stealing money from a charity story, please.

And finally, Adam and Deedee bicker over who gets to do the admin and reception at the solicitors. There are still temp agencies are there not? And Alya is off to the Dublin office of Fabian's (for 9 months?)
