Coronation Street Episode Review Monday 19th May

 

It's a big day for Craig as it's his first day on his CID placement, shadowing Kit whilst wearing a natty beige suit. It's also his last day on the force, sorry Craig fans (there must be at least 3 amongst the 4 million regular viewers).

 

Kit's got something else on his mind as he realises that the date of Brodie's birth is nine months after he and Lou did the deed. A little bit of history repeating? He drops hints about the alleged paternity to Mick after the latter has a go at him re: Kit stopping Brodie shoplifting from Dev's. Mick is so angry that he pushes over a barbecue in Mawdsley street. No garden furniture is safe with him around.

Craig rushes to the scene after Fiz reports a disturbance, whereby Lou gets rid of him, but as he hears shouting and banging, which appears to be Mick attacking Lou (who emerges with her head bleeding), Craig starts to chase Mick down the street. I thought the Michaelises were quite good characters, the new nuisance neighbours, when they were introduced, but now it seems to be turning into an Eastenders storyline. The bad guys always soften (Battersbys, Windasses) but these two are just a bit much. Mick, drunk, drives off with a baseball bat, followed by a Tinker. He tries to arrest him for drink driving, but Mick assumes Craig has been instructed by Kit to follow him and set him up, and when he steps out of the vehicle van, he attacks Craigy. Bring back Beth, she'd sort him out.
