Wednesday 5 November 2025

EVA ISN’T WILLING TO ACCEPT HER SON IS GONE Ben returns from an unsuccessful trip to Hull. As he and Eva usher police officers into the Rovers, Will watches from across the street. Will sneaks round the back and, finding Lily, offers her £20 to grab something from inside. Emerging from the pub with Ben and Eva, Lily reveals that Will offered her £20 to fetch his passport. The family are flooded with relief as Will eventually walks in with Megan, his athletics coach from Hull, who explains she found him bedding down in his old changing rooms so drove him over. As Ben and Eva demand an explanation, Will claims he wants to stay in Hull with his mates. Citing the love note and Will’s attempt to steal his passport, Ben reckons there’s more to it. What is Will hiding?

TRACY DROWNS HER SORROWS Tracy invites Cassie to end their feud. But when it becomes clear that Tracy wants her to persuade Steve to withdraw his claim on the florist’s in the divorce, Cassie scoffs. When Cassie returns to No.1 to find Tracy fast asleep, having drunk one of the bottles of wine she bought for Ken, it’s her turn to trick Tracy. 

CARL SENDS DEBBIE PACKING When Carl suggests she should take a holiday and enjoy the fruits of her success, Debbie’s thoughtful. As she prevaricates over booking, she’s summoned to deal with a query, leaving Carl with her phone. Debbie’s astonished when Carl shows her an email confirming her holiday, unable to remember completing the booking. Carl suggests she did so by mistake. As a rattled Debbie tries to cancel the holiday, Carl points out it’s non-refundable. Debbie’s devastated by her apparent blunder but Ronnie’s supportive and suggests it’s just what they need. As Debbie starts to make plans, Carl asks for access to the hotel bank account so that he can pay bills in her absence.

ELSEWHERE Betsy asks Carla to try talking Lisa into them all taking a break together in Spain with Becky. Will Carla agree?

Julia Goulding interview: Devastating news for Shona and David

How does Shona feel when David fails to take her along to her scan?

She doesn't know what's happened with him and Kit, and she's just so let down because it's happened before, when David got stuck in the lift buying cheap shampoo, and so she's already missed the first scan. She just feels really let down that he's not going to be there for her because, obviously, her first pregnancy at the age of 13 probably wasn't as joyful. So, she's just really cross with him, and luckily, she manages to persuade Sarah to give her a lift.

Does David get there in the end?

Yes, Kit drives David there, and then they’re able to go in together, and they’re really excited. It’s not often that you get married couples that have been together for a while having a child on Coronation Street, it’s usually a product of an affair or something, so it’s actually really sweet that Shona and David are having a baby, I think.

How do David and Shona react when they discover that there is a mass on the baby’s neck?

It’s crushing. Absolutely crushing. It would be for anyone. They were really difficult scenes to do. Because I’ve got children of my own and I’ve had scans, I know how excited you feel before them, and then for them to come out and not to be able to celebrate and have joy with something so joyful, is really, really sad.

What are Shona’s thoughts towards David before their appointment with the consultant?

She’s thinking that he’s not that bothered. He’s thinking that he’s doing a really good job of seeming okay with it. And I think the whole point of the special episode is to show how isolated they both feel, and how much stronger they are when they’re together and on the same track, as it were. She just feels very alone, lost, scared, all the things that you would do, and it hasn’t helped with him not turning up to the first scan and being late for the second one, so she’s not feeling as confident in his support, whereas he’s feeling really lousy about probably knowing that’s how she’s feeling but not really being able to express it because it’s David Platt.

When Shona hears that her baby has a tumour, is her instinct to have surgery or is termination an option for her?

Termination isn’t an option for her. She’s just like, ‘Yep, surgery, we’re doing it.’ And I think that’s where a lot of the conflict comes in, because it’s a particular type of operation and it’s incredibly rare, and there is a risk to mother’s life and baby’s life. And that’s where David’s arguments come in, to at least think about the pros and cons of having a termination or having the surgery.

Coronation Street Episode Review Monday 3rd November

 

It's the day of the dead after the Hallowe'en before. Or the Price-Driscolls have been asleep all weekend, Rip Van Winkle style. Ollie is tasked with picking up the final member of the extended family, Will, but he doesn't turn up. How's he managed to get lost between Hull and Manchester? they ask. Well, he probably got a Transpennine train. Mrs Doyle says that Will never wanted to come here and how they've moved around - from Galway to Toulouse to Hull. How come Ollie has a Mancunian accent then? I suppose I'll have to file this under Peter Barlow coming back from Scotland with a Nottinghamshire accent and Dylan living in London all of his life until 2022 but sounding like he never left Bolton. 

 

Cassie has lost her "nechkin" Scouse accent and now has what my grandma used to call a telephone voice for answering calls at Streetcars. Tim teases her with a call from "Killian Mbappe", saying it's an initiation, but then Tracy does some proper hazing by unplugging the switchboard, to Tim's consternation, although Cassie seems more bothered about how all of Tracy's relatives like her more than Tracy-luv than the missed fares.

 

For once, Becky comes 'round to no. 6 invited. By Carla, to dole out some home truths (I am hoping for some brawling in the street before this story ends). Becky talks about masks and how it's sexy being incognito. Not as sexy as Carla in that tight cop uniform on Friday - Lisa knows which side her ciabatta is buttered, or at least she should do, although you can hardly blame Carla for worrying about infidelity given that her most recent husband cheated on her on their literal wedding day. Becky drops the bombshell that when (if) she moves back to Spain, Betsy's going with her. Swain, probably the only person on the street who keeps up with the news, points out that you can only stay for 90 days nowadays. Betsy says she'll get a work visa and a job waitressing. You struggle to boil the kettle! says Swain, not unreasonably.

Finally, Carl continues his descent into evil by saying he should have access to the hotel finances - I guess he's only going to go once he's screwed over all of his family. Debbie says she's not about to order 20 million toilet rolls. What about olives? She gives him all of the boring jobs and says she'll keep going with the accounts. Wise.
