Coronation Street Episode Review, Weds 19th June 8.30pm

Robert lies to Michelle and tells her he's been jumped. Reluctant to call the police, of course, the celebrations now appear a little lacklustre but he's got the ring anyway and duly proposes. Michelle quickly gets into 'bride-to-be' mode whilst privately, Robert leaves Vicky a panicked voicemail.

Sarah heads over to Adam's flat and admits that she's told Gary the truth. Followed by Bethany, they break the news of their courtship. Bethany isn't pleased with her mothers latest conquest. In the woods, Gary starts disposing of Rick's lifeless body and steals the loan sharks car keys (RIP Rick).

Brian confronts Aggie and Claudia over the loud noise, before heading over to Roy's to dissect the findings of their investigations. A melancholic Roy can't quite believe the secret life his mother led. As talk turns to literary quotations, Wayne shows Roy a present that he gave him as a child. It adds pathos to a wonderfully burgeoning friendship. Is this the last we will see of Wayne?

Over a pint, Ken and Ed become great friends, whilst Claudia and Aggie bury the hatchet - once Ed agrees to fill that hole!

Meanwhile, Beth takes a photograph of Bertie and her skills are slightly improving, unlike her manners (she called Ken a patronising g*t - how rude!). She does, however, tell Ken that she's now entering The Gazette's photography competition.

Meeting Vicky at the Bistro, Robert is reluctant for her to terminate their child and tries hard to dissuade her. Narrowly avoiding Michelle's gaze, Robert appears to have averted a fuming Vicky informing Michelle of the conception.

Returning Bethany's car, it appears Gary has committed murder for the second time... (or the first as Rana's death was accidental).  What do we think of the streets newest murderer?

TA-RA!

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!

Speak in a bit!.
