Could Yasmeen's recently acquired resolve be muted again, by Geoff's continued coercive control? Suddenly realising his grip was slipping of course, ‘jiggle it’s’ latest attempt at winning back Yasmeen
( his Yazzy, Yaz, etc which makes me squirm by the way) appears to be working? Alya’s dogged determination is admirable, but she’s letting him get to her now. Let’s hope she wins through for her Gran's sake!
On the subject of bad boys, Gary is seeking his factory rent increase and takes the opportunity to taunt Adam whilst in the process. Surely his solicitor skills can somehow stop the increase or look for a loophole, somehow? I foresee things in this storyline BUT I always get these predictions wrong so I may leave that for a future blog post!
Abi's appalling parenting skills, (drug addiction, alcoholism, prison stints) have long since been forgotten about since Sally (and separately, Kevin) helped her on the straight and narrow. Since becoming involved with Kev she has mellowed more just lately and now prefers playing computer games with Jack, becoming a surrogate Mum to the lad, almost. But what about her actual son Seb & the adopted twins? The long-haired lothario causes her little concern, but with news of the twin's relocation to Oz with their new parents, Seb swings it with social services for Abi to see the twins before they depart. Will she go through with it?
Desperate to see naughty Nicky again, (£220 a visit, did Sinead bequeath him her beard oil empire?), the usually sensible and bookish Daniel needs to palm off baby Bertie with the nearest babysitter. Is she going to fall for him or is he just another client to her? I'm intrigued by this one.
Also making me scratch my corrie brain, is this Scott subplot at the Rovers. Did it seem to be a slow burner, until tonight at least? He fancies a barge holiday, wears a wax jacket, and cops an earful from Peter from meddling in family matters. Just what is Scott’s game, eh?. I think he could be Carla’s 'real' Dad, maybe? Johnny’s reluctance to return home is some kind of key in this saga, too? I thought he’d had an affair with Jenny or something, but thinking of Carla’s past life and the fact he’s admitted his involvement in the squat assault, I think it's more related to our favourite former factory frontwoman. But in what way? Using Kirk's ball's as a ruse (haha!) it was nice to see Carla in the new factory too!

Meanwhile, can Geoff cancel the charges, hoodwink the CPS, and get Yasmeen home? Or (my theory, here we go again) is that Yasmeen gets enough evidence together to bring him down herself! Tim and Faye may try to convince him otherwise, but they are less intelligent than Sally, Yasmeen, Alya, and the CPS...
Let's hope so, anyway.
