More memory loss for Rita in tonight's Coronation Street

In tonight's Coronation Street, we'll see a second incidence of memory loss for Rita.

Last week we saw Rita and Gemma in The Kabin and Rita couldn't remember who bought Gemma the "Little Miss" cup for her - although Rita had bought it for Gemma herself.

In the episode to be screened tonight, we'll see Rita struggling to remember what she had for her breakfast.

Rita masks her worry about the loss of memory on the matter whilst Gemma fails to notice anything wrong.  

Whether Corrie are lining up a dementia storyline for Rita, or not, we don't know. But I do hope not. I hope it's just something, say, like an infection that can cause similar symptoms.   We've wondered if it's dementia (you can read about that blog post here) but I truly hope it isn't.   

However, the storyline is set to get worse for Rita when she has Gemma arrested next week.

Dementia storyline ahead for Rita Tanner?

Last night in Coronation Street, there was a beat of a moment where Rita had forgotten that she was the one who'd bought Gemma her own mug for use in The Kabin on their tea breaks.  Rita's normally sharp as a pin and misses nowt, so this little scene was telling in so many ways. But what are we to make of it?

Is Coronation Street lining up a dementia storyline for Rita, or could it be stress, perhaps brought on by losing Norris to Mary. I don't mean losing him in a romantic sense but losing her business partner and friend to another woman.  I do hope it's just stress. I don't think I could bear to see Rita fade before my eyes, not my favourite Corrie woman.

Sadly, in next week's Corrie Rita is set to have another forgetful moment when she can't remember what day it is. She tells Gemma she's afraid of losing her memory but Gemma just brushes the remark off, not worried at all.

I dread to think what might lie ahead for my favourite Corrie woman of all time.
