Coronation Street Episode Review, Weds 19 June 7.30pm

If you go down to the woods today be sure of a big surprise... or not, as Gary and Rick do battle again to find out who is Corrie's ultimate alpha-male!

Joking aside, a fresh grave has been dug but is anybody going inside it? As the camera pans across the desolate woods we are left to wonder.

Back on Coronation Street, Sarah is beside herself with worry at Gary's disappearance, and Tyler tells Robert the baby news. At the Bistro, the surprise proposal party is yet to start and with Robert obviously waylaid fighting with Tyler, Michelle's detective skills require little effort. Finding everybody 'hiding' and a 'comedy' celebration cake, it isn't long before she opens a box and a 'happy engagement' balloon pops out.

Roy's had Wayne and Brian run rings round him over Sylvia's mysteriously bequeathed jewellery. Now that Roy's investigation has proved his mother had an affair, can anything further come from Wayne and Brian's sleuthing? At the shop, Brian has somehow got hold of a box belonging to Roy, and the investigation appears to continue.

At the Baileys, Aggie's one noise women crusade against Claudia continues. With Aggie eagerly bashing Ernest's Bishop's piano, Claudia decides to delve into Ken's eclectic vinyl collection in hope of drowning out 'chopsticks'.

Arriving home at the same time, Ken and Ed decide not to disrupt their respective partners and head for a peaceful pint instead.

Before Sarah has had time to tell Bethany anything, Gary suddenly arrives at the Platts and he's on his own. Sarah decides it's time they had a talk.

Heading over to Roy's, Brian and Wayne have met a lady called Alice Parrot, who appears to have a connection to Sylvia's ring and ask to go upstairs to Roy's flat trying not to disturb Ken and Beth's photography class. Can a competition with the Gazette fire up Bethany's interest in the classes?

Back at Roy's flat, Alice tells Roy all about his mothers' affair with her father and Roy discovers a different side to his often cold and conceited mother.

Meanwhile, Michelle heartily accepts Robert's proposal but he struggles to mask his fight wounds.

Over a heart-to-heart, Sarah admits her affair with Adam and Gary takes the news badly. Struggling to accept that it's over, Gary pushes Sarah against a wall. Swiftly leaving, Gary takes Bethany's car and is soon back in the woods.It's dark, and he's got rubber gloves, which surely only leads to one conclusion. Has Gary killed Rick?!

Join me later today for a review of tonight's 8.30pm episode to find out!

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.

Coronation Street Episode Review; Weds 05 June 7.30pm

Still looking for her smartphone, Roy rummages through Carla's mobile phone stash, in hope of finding Sarah's. Gary hangs around in the background looking a bit suspicious.

Struggling without her handset, Sarah takes out her frustration on Adam who sees this as a signal to ask her out on a date. Cementing his charm back onto the cobbles, Adam is soon smoothing David over a game of table football and is obviously trying to get into Sarah's good books.

As David and Nick continue to fight, Gail and Audrey make amends. It seems Gail has done some digging on Lewis. It turns out the old cad WAS going to propose to Audrey on the night he died. It's almost serendipitous, considering how her grandsons have disgraced her.

Dev announces that he'd like to take the kids to India, much to Asha's dismay. With Dev still looking for someone to manage the shop, Evelyn arrives just in time to spot a  shoplifter, who quickly scurries. As Dev finds his new shopkeeper, Chesney faces trouble at the kebab shop as Gemma's morning sickness becomes increasingly severe. Taking a turn for the worst, she proceeds to faint at the smell of Dev's garlic mayo and Chesney rushes her to hospital.

As a scan is undertaken, Gemma suddenly remembers that she comes from a long line of twins (I think we know where this is going).

At The Rovers, Norris tells Rita that the offers for No. 3 are coming in thick and fast but he's yet to make it up with Freda.

Dressed in black and still mourning Brendan, a maudlin Mary has also yet to forgive Norris for destroying the love letters. Rita manages to bring the duo back together, and just like any other married couple,they bicker intermittently, until Mary finally realises that Brendan was actually a bit of a g*t.

Making amends with Mary, Norris again wavers about leaving the street and grasps at Mary's hand, just as Freda walks in. Awkward! Meanwhile, Sarah and Adam are flirting over a hotpot, before being interrupted by Gary. Double awkward!

Back at the hospital, Gemma's scan reveals... twins? No, triplets? No, oh hold on, I've read about this - its quads! Chesney proceeds to faint - that's double fainting!

It's also a double for me tonight so I'll be back soon with a review of the 8.30pm episode.

Speak in a bit!.
