Last week I criticised Carl's criminal plans, saying he should just work at the hotel instead, it'd be a better earner. This week, I'm wondering if he does get his grubby little paws on the hotel's money, won't it become very obvious who nicked it? Presumably he's going to take a lot rather than filching a bit here and there. Also, he could always get work as a gigolo as both Glenda and Christina check out his tight little buns and Leanne winks at him.
At the Women In Business conference, Debbie forgets her speech and is locked out of her her tablet, so she improvises, instead talking about her dementia and how she's going to keep on fighting. The ladies of Weatherfield gather for cocktails and flirting with the mixologist although Christina tells him that Glenda has been in prison and doesn't ever wash, which leads to a drink in the bosom. The only way this could have been improved is if Rafael has been allowed to have his break with the girls. They end up stealing a shopping trolley and running into a police car before going back to Debbie's. I guess this was the feminine version of the great Rovers scenes with Ty, Kirk, Kev and Steve a few weeks back and it's a welcome change from the general misery.
Talking of general misery, in the house of pain, Terrible Theo gets Todd to stay in the flat under the auspices of keeping their contretemps private. Theo tells everyone that Todd is in That London. I think we've been here before with Charlie and Shelley, n'est ce pas? During the evil reign of Geoff, the coercive control had a touch of camp to it, I don't mean that it was funny but it did get ridiculous with the murdered chickens and locking Yasmeen in a box whereas Theo is deeply frightening. He's only got to knit those eyebrows and I start shouting "Todd, no, just leave, Todd!" Both actors are knocking it out of the park but still, I hate it and I want it to end, even if it means us losing [redacted]. Anyway, Summer sees the curtain twitching so Theo and the lads go round to apprehend the "intruder" although Theo manages to hustle Todd into the bedroom before they see him.
Betsy has worked out that Carla has left because the nice moisturiser that Betsy liked to nick is gone. Has the Botox gone with her?
Meanwhile, Asha returns home but it is unkeen on re-starting her paramedic training again. Wouldn't she have a manager who'd be visiting, assessing, filling in forms etc?
Oh, and Roy is behaving oddly so Shona decides to go through his post, which seems a step too far. She finds a letter from Alice and Roy explains that he thinks she has romantic feelings for him. I guess either this storyline is Roy finally finding love post-Hayley, or getting scammed by a dodgy crim.
