Coronation Street Episode Review; Weds 31 July 8.30pm


Caught in the crossfire, Robert tells Tracy that he's been innocently helping Tyler, and Vicky was just showing her gratitude. Only half-convinced, Tracy tells him to watch himself, or she will be causing trouble too. Vicky is less than pleased when she finds out that Tracy is also his ex-wife.

Jenny tries to convince Kate to clear out her room for the pub renovations, can Johnny be persuaded to move his daughter out Explaining her woes to Carla and Claudia, Kate is frustrated with life at The Rovers, and is keen on travelling, in Rana's memory.


Upon talking to Carla (who I thought would cough up the cash), Kate decides to raise the funds while working at The Bistro full-time. Later, however, she overhears Jenny slagging her off to Tracy!

Abi fails to tell Kev she's been fired, however, he's already had a call from the rival garage boss who's told him about her mishap! Joking aside, Abi apologises to Kev and he reinstates her at Webster's Autos.


Claudia's clear-out of Ken's clutter persuades the old cad to move her into No. 1 with him, while she waits for her new home.  Meanwhile, Jan tells Seb he's made another visit to the nail bar and says he won't work for them again.


Following the awards ceremony, Ray is pleased with how Michelle and Alya have run the event. Keen to chat with Michelle privately, Ray goes and makes her a job offer.

Accepting the job, Michelle gathers the team together to make the announcement. Alya is appalled and upset but Robert seems to have spotted an opportunity. Realising that Michelle will need two weeks away training for her new job, Robert diverts from Tracy's wry attempt at stirring it up, and   craftily invents an excuse to spend a few nights away with the 'youth programme' (AKA Vicky).

Michelle (who is as equally self-absorbed as Robert) fails to notice that his recent disappearances are becoming all the more regular.

Tracy's sarcastic eye-roll before the ending credits was an ominous moment (and my favourite bit of tonight's second part).

What did you think of tonight's Corrie?. Let us know in the comments.

I shall be back same time next week.

Coronation Street Episode Review; Weds 31 July 7.30pm


Cheating chef Robert is simultaneously spinning two plates; reigniting his romance with Michelle, whilst playing keen Dad to Vicky's growing bump. As Michelle caters for the youth awards, (of which Vicky's son Tyler is a nominee), can Robert keep his two favourite dishes apart?

Jenny has grand designs on changing The Rovers Return and decides to unleash a questionnaire to the regulars. Disregarding Tracy's idea to ditch Emma from the bar staff, Jenny suddenly decides to turn the upstairs room into a B and B. Ed promises to visit her later for an estimate. 

Meanwhile, Kate is meeting up for a drink with her old flame/friend, Imogen.

Seb continues his stake-out on the dodgy nail bar and questions Jan about Alina and her dire living arrangements. Paying them another visit, Seb then threatens the nail bar owner with that he knows. Later, and after a chat with Jan, Rachel makes a call to an associate, it looks like there could be trouble for love struck Sebastian.

Out on the street, Abi announces to Kev and Tim that she has landed a job with a rival garage.

Visiting Vicky, Robert does the doting father-to-be act, and successfully persuades her to not attend the hotel awards event.  Later, Michelle and the catering team realise that Ray has increased guest numbers (again) causing Alya to into blind panic. In amongst the rush, Robert fails to notice Tyler arriving with Vicky.


At No. 1 Claudia tells Ken that she's got nowhere to live now her house sale has gone through,. Realising that Ken's place is awash with clutter, can she persuade Ken to tidy up in his kimono, Marie Kondo style? Retrieving a box of Deirdre's glasses, Claudia picks the wrong time to try a pair on, just as Tracy walks in!

Kate confides in Imogen about missing Rana, and Imogen decides to invite Kate on a £3K travelling expedition, but she's skint. Seeking cash from Johnny, Kate realises that Jenny is also keen to spend Johnny's cash by renovating The Rovers!

Abi tells Tim that she's settling into the new garage, but admits to Eileen that she's actually got the sack, after injuring her new boss.


Back at the awards ceremony, Robert panics as Vicky seems to be sipping prosecco, and finally persuades her to leave. With subtle manhandling and a friendly embrace, it looks like he's managed to hide Vicky from Michelle's gaze, only to bump into his ex (and Vicky's one-time nemesis), Tracy Barlow!

It looks like Robert has smashed those plates he was spinning!

Be back here later for my 8.30 episode review, to find out what happens next!
