Coronation Street spoiler: Gemma and Chesney's quad in deaf diagnosis

The previews are in from ITV for next week’s Corrie and when Tara calls at No.5 and drops off the itinerary for tomorrow’s Freshco photoshoot, Gemma’s horrified to realise that it clashes with Aled’s hearing appointment.

Tara makes it clear that the photoshoot can’t be rescheduled and if they fail to show up, they won’t get paid. Chesney addresses Tara and her team, pointing out that the whole campaign is a sham and the reality of looking after four babies is very different to the way that Freshco are portraying them.
A furious Tara tells Chesney that he’s completely trashed the brand and she’s terminating their contract with immediate effect. Chesney calls at the kebab shop and begs Dev to give him a job.

Gemma’s devastated when the audiologist confirms Aled has profound permanent hearing loss in both ears. As Chesney and Gemma take in Aled’s diagnosis, Gemma’s heartbroken to learn that Aled’s been deaf since birth and has never heard her say she loves him. Chesney tries to comfort Gemma as she blames herself.

Battle begins for No. 1 Coronation Street when Ken leaves

Now that we know Ken Barlow is leaving Coronation Street - but not the show - the battle begins next week over who will move into No. 1 when Ken and Claudia move out.In Monday night’s episodes (Feb 10th) Ken and Claudia will break the news to the family about their decision to sell up and live a quieter life at Still Waters.


Ken will move out of number one and away from the street but future episodes will follow Ken and Claudia’s new life at Still Waters Luxury retirement complex, whilst back in Weatherfield Tracy and Peter Barlow will battle over who gets to move into the most famous house on the street.

Tracy immediately has her eye on the prize, and despite Carla’s lack of enthusiasm Peter decides to fight his sister for the house - both of them wanting it at a knockdown price.

Will Ken and Claudia take to their new life and who will be the proud new owners of number 1 Coronation Street?

I'm guessing that there'll be a horrible fight for the house between Tracy and Peter but that it'll be Daniel and Bertie who move in.

Coronation Street Episode Review; Weds 5th June 8.30pm

Chesney recovers from his faint as Gemma struggles to take the news in. As Emma and Paul arrive at the hospital though, the reality of quads soon becomes apparent. The doctor explains to the shocked couple that they face risk of miscarriage or the option of multiple selective terminations.Grim.

Meanwhile, Freda's fuming at Norris and gives him an ultimatum; leave for Edinburgh with her or stay in Weatherfield with Mary.

Reeling from seeing Sarah on a date with Adam, Gary decides to drown his sorrows, but not before telling Bethany about what he saw. Later, Sarah defends her behaviour to her daughter and uses Gary's previous form as an excuse.

At the Rovers, Audrey is ambiguous in her decision to call the police and seeks advice from Ken and Claudia. Ultimately deciding to retract her statement, Audrey may decide to change her mind as Nick offers to commemorate Lewis's death and Audrey sees straight through his fake guilt and faux gesture.

Dev and the kids' departure is smoothed over by Mary who gives Dev some wise words about Asha's teenage tantrums. We don't know how long they're gone for but Mary promises to keep an eye on Evelyn. With Dev swiftly out of the scene, Evelyn has her feet firmly under the (shop) table.

Still reeling from their news, it seems Chesney and Gemma have some serious decisions to make. The 10-week gestation period appears paramount to a decision with the selective termination; a stage which Gemma is now at. Confiding in Paul, Chesney seems to be struggling. Paul's penguin analogy is rather sweet and though it confuses Chesney initially, it certainly drives the point home. Seeking equal solace in Emma, Gemma's heartache is palpable yet she seems as equally reluctant to have any selective terminations.

Meeting with Mary, Norris informs her that he's accepting an offer on N0.3 and marrying Freda -decision made. Mary hides her sorrow from Norris and decides to arrange him a leaving party.

At The Rovers, the war of the Platts shows no side of subsiding, and Sarah admits to Gary that she doesn't (as yet) see a way forward for the former couple. Speaking of which, Gemma and Chesney come to a mutual decision. Regardless of the risks, they decide to try and keep the quads all together. What do you think?. Let us know your thoughts!.

I shall be back same time next week for another Corrie blog episode review.

TA-RA!
