Coronation Street Episode Review; Weds 16th of Jan, 7.30pm

Welcome to Wednesday's review of Coronation Street .

Conniving Nick's con continues on the cobbles this evening, but can he deceive his equally evil brother? At the salon, Audrey reveals that Grasmere Drive has a leak, and Nick takes a call from a mystery contact, little realising that David is in the back room. Letting down Leanne, Nick suddenly has other plans, and it doesn't take long before David spots his brother with a mystery brunette. Unfortunately for Nick, Leanne arrives at exactly the wrong time. Leanne, however, is easily fooled as Nick convinces her that the mystery brunette is his solicitor. Is Leanne convinced?.

Over a meal at Speed Daal, it's revealed that the girl is, in fact, Natalie, Nick's former waitress from the Nottingham restaurant. She soon has Nick squirming with threats of blackmail. Is this the girl seen on CCTV emptying Audrey's account?. Later, David spies his brother out on the street. With David already having doubts about Nick, has he worked out that his brother robbed their gran? Shona dismisses Leanne's doubts and decides a girls night out is in order.

With news of Sally's innocence reaching the street, Tim, Sophie, Imran and Paula leap into action, in hope of releasing Sally as soon as possible. Gina fails to hide her delight in bringing down Duncan but Sean quickly dampens her enthusiasm at the thought of returning to the bosom of the family.
At the prison, Sally is still worried about Marcia and her imminent release from segregation. Will Sally be able to reach the prison gates in time?

Ken pays his new grandson a visit at the hospital. Breaking down, Daniel reveals to his father that he is still struggling to deal with the weight of all the recent turmoil. Finally reuniting them, it seems the fractious relationship is now repaired. It isn't long however before Daniel is faced with more tragedy, is the baby ill also?

On the other side of the Barlow family, Tracy's conscience is finally(!) starting to form. Seemingly steering Steve towards the idea of a baby, to cool his ravenous libido, Mary tries to convince Tracy that this actually might not be a good plan. Over a drink at The Rovers, it seems her words of wisdom may be having the desired effect.

Also at The Rovers, Rana reveals that her divorce has been finalised, and Kate is quick to set the wedding plans in motion.

Meanwhile, as Leanne and Shona head out for drinks, David makes a call to the police and asks to see the CCTV images of the girl seen stealing Audrey's money.

Coronation Street - Double Episode Review; Wednesday 25th of July 2018

Welcome to Wednesday's edition of the Coronation Street Blog, and tonight's double episode review.

With Britain languishing in an endless summer scorcher, Corrie resident Bethany must be feeling rather hot in the garage, after being kidnapped by Kayla. BFF Craig meanwhile, has a debilitating bout of anxiety and is also very sweaty (albeit at Weatherfield General).

Following the shocking news of his mother's death, Tyrone mourns for Jackie and with Fiz by his side, the couple and their young family, are finally reconciled.

With Maria being given a fortnights reprieve at the salon flat, the return of Audrey hairdressing nemesis Claudia Colby is right on time!. (read my interview with Rula Lenska HERE).

Will Audrey reconcile with Maria or has Claudia stolen her best stylist for good?.

Back at Weatherfield General, Kayla finally reveals the truth about her Dad and she threatens action, leaving a panicked Craig frantically worried about Bethany's safety. Upon returning to her garage, Kayla promises to unleash violence on a bound and gagged Bethany.

Over on Victoria Street, Prima Doner, a newly unemployed (ex-headteacher) Brian, suddenly realises that he was actually a teacher once. Unleashing his babysitting services on Hope & Ruby, I think I know where this is heading?

Can a hardware store idea sow the seeds for a Corrie creche?

Meanwhile, the news of Bethany's disappearance and Craigs OCD attack reaches the street.

Warning -the next part of this review may contain depictions of violence!

As harrowed CSA victim Bethany re-lives the worst of her nightmare, she tells Kayla that Neil was worse than Nathan in his nefarious activities. As the pure drama continues, I think us viewers are then lured to believe that Kayla is as much the victim of Neil, as Bethany is? (once she has slapped Bethany with a viscously realistic ferocity).

Craig, upon arriving at Kayla's, reveals his (previously unheard) mobile voice recording of Neil's admittance of guilt. Kayla reels from the reality and loses the crow braw, subsequently softening any further blows (literal or figuratively).

What next for Craig & Bethany. Will the best friends survive more trauma?.

Have we seen the last of Kayla?. Does Kayla deserve a reprieve?.

In other news, Tim finds an extra £1000 in his bank account, Gemma & Henry scout out The Rovers Return, Mary & Tracy imagine Coronation Street in 2048, and Eva kisses Adam.
And that's me done until next Wednesday at 7.30pm.
Until next time Corrie fans...

TARA!
