Coronation Street Episode Review; Weds 9th Jan 8.30pm


As promised, here is the 2nd part of Wednesday's Coronation Street.

Lewis's female harem are in awe at the funeral, as Audrey and Claudia air their grievances, in public. No dignity nor decorum as far as Audrey and Claud are concerned.

And as far Lewis?. Well, as my Nan used to say (she reminds me of Evelyn actually) 'there's no rest for the wicked', which is apt as his coffin goes back and forth as Claudia and Audrey halt and start his journey to the fire.


Back on the street, Liz has failed to show for the mitigating meeting with the Connors. As the Connors head back to the pub, Liz suitably arrives with the police in tow, just in time for Johnny and Jenny to be arrested!

Has Claudia avoided the same fate? She professes innocence as it becomes apparent that Lewis' ladies have paid for the service. Audrey, still smarting, delivers Lewis' old clothes to Claudia, around to Number 1. Will Ken heed the warning from the warring hairdresser?


Sally's suffering also continues as the brutal results of her beating are seen on screen. Meanwhile, bullying Marcia has been put into segregation. Talking to Tim on the phone, Sally breaks down. Here's hoping some more evidence comes to light.

Back at the Rovers, Sean revels in the news of his bosses' arrests to Nick, Gail, and Audrey.

Billy also arrives for his second 'date' but Paul already has company. A 'bit of trade' it may be, but Billy isn't in the mood for games and pushes Paul away.


The police pay another visit to the street (good job the cop shop is only around the corner) as Tim is given bad news about the alleged new evidence against Duncan. Even Interpol are involved! (Muse, The National, and other alt-indie bands were unavailable... sorry).

Under interrogation, Jenny gives the police 'no comment' which can only be the beginning of another police investigation. With the crimes on the street lately, I reckon they should set up an incident room in Roy's Rolls.

Meeting Rita in The Rovers, Cathy decides to pimp out Brian as the newsagent's new assistant. I'm sure that the wage decrease (as an ex-teacher) in an unpredictable economy, won't be a problem (!).

As the Platts head back over to the pub, (all of the gang together) a tipsy Gail does little to convince David that she works for MI5, whilst Audrey calls the police on Claudia. Nick heads home and takes his little gym bag with him. It seems Nick has a different kind of laundry (or money laundering), all together.


So is Claud completely innocent after all?. Tonight's revelation poses so many questions!. Keep your eyes peeled on the Coronation Street Blog, for more fan views, news, and opinion pieces.

And that's me done for another week.

Coronation Street Episode Review; Weds 9th of Jan of 7.30pm


Welcome to Wednesday's edition of the Coronation Street Blog.

Revenge, regret, biblical theorising, and Pam Ayres, all laid claim to tonight's superb first half of Coronation Street.

From the pen of Jonathan Harvey, Lewis's funeral was always going to be laced with 'Carry on Corrie' and promising drama, as the dastardly charming cad was laid to rest. With Audrey's money still nowhere to be seen, the salon supremo was in no mood to attend the funeral. Until however, she sees Mary being late with the wreaths and decided to rope in Gail and Nick, in attending the ceremony.


With Billy otherwise engaged (flirty theological fun with Paul), the ceremony was comedically led by Weatherfields 'other vicar' (Hayley Cartwright).

Reminiscent of the salon awards ceremony, Lewis's funeral was full of camp camaraderie;  Evelyn as professional mourner (Blanche #Mark2) Claudia suddenly descending into Pam Ayres territory and Audrey again taking centre stage culminating in her claiming that Claudia had, in fact, nicked the cash, to extend her Salon empire. ABBA also piped through the music system, as Lewis's coffin slowly went to the flames. High camp indeed!.


To draw shade on Lewis's farcical funeral, Corrie gave us a little darkness, with Sally's nightmare conviction, still not overturned. As Gina and Tim try to convince Weatherfield police that Duncan's Mrs is still alive, Sally's ally Abi has now been released and the ex-mayor is left with drug dealing in her cell from her scouse cellmate (I forget her name). When the screws come calling, Sally is blamed as grass, and gets beaten up (off-screen).


Also trying to mitigate in Weatherfield's recent crime wave, Eileen tries to cool down Liz, who from being run over by Jenny, to being conned by Hannah and Jim, quite rightly seeks
to enact revenge and right some wrongs. Has Ellen managed to cool Liz down?. I hope not. Liz going against Jenny is like 'Aud V Claud' but with a harsher more darker slant.

In other news, Brian needs a new job, and Rita is feeling past-it. Can the former teacher run The Kabin, perhaps?.

Like Billy the vicar, I shall be back later for a second date, later tonight, with my review of 8.30pm's episode.

TA-RA!
