Coronation Street Episode Review; Weds 20th Nov 8.30 pm

Gemma and Paul swap notes and assume that Bernie is the mastermind behind the church-related robberies and decide to confront their Mother. Bernie's pleas fall on deaf ears as her kids take her through 'kangaroo court' (good scriptwriting that) and she's assumed guilty. Consulting with Kel, Bernie tells her fella she's innocent and Kel takes this as an opportunity to have a swipe at Paul.

At the porn shop (do you remember when Tracy had that one with Rob?), Daniel is arrested by PC Tinker and his female colleague. Leaving baby Bertie with Carla and Beth (Ken's got pneumonia!!) Adam and Peter are soon at the station, pleading with the shop owner to drop the charges. The shop owner admits that the laptop was in his shop weeks ago, so it isn't Daniel's. Pulling at the shopkeepers' heartstrings, Peter pleads for clemency and the charges are swiftly dropped.

Guiltily admitting his one night stand to Agi, James is worried about the repercussions of his phone being found but luckily Micheal soon tracks it down, and the lads head off to Stockport to collect it (that carpark looks a lot like the ITV Corrie studio lot but we will let that lie). Micheal meanwhile, seems to recognise somebody in the car park. It turns out to be Grace, his ex, who is also the mother of his child. These Bailey's are full of secrets, aren't they?
Although she doesn't speak to him, he manages to shout her his address. Will Grace visit Coronation Street?

Having spotted Vicky visiting Robert, he admits the truth for a change and tells Michelle he has big ideas for the Bistro. Unluckily for him, Michelle has been seeking legal advice from Adam and she has ideas for it too - she wants it all to herself. I love how she squirmed when he kissed her!

Back at Number one, Daniel drowns his sorrows and tells Adam that he thinks Bertie would be better off without him. Lamenting the loss of the laptop memories, Daniel succumbs to the guilt of it all and blames himself for the crime. Meanwhile, Gemma worries about motherhood and her relationship with Bernie and confides in Paul. How will Chesney take the news?

Is Bernie guilty of the burglaries, will Michelle rob Robert, and what fruity language will Daniel come out next! Was that the first 'turd' we've ever heard muttered on Coronation Street?

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!

Coronation Street Episode Review; Weds 12 June 7.30pm

Welcome to this week's mid-week Coronation Street episode review as we welcome a new family to those hallowed cobbles. With the new residents arriving at No. 3, Ken is still unhappy with the noise and disruption, and continues to get wound up by new patriarch Ed Bailey.

Sarah's flirtations with Adam Barlow continue over a coffee. Admitting she has no legal representative, Adam steps up to the plate and hopes Carla can hand her control of the factory.

Meanwhile, Shona and David question Nick's involvement in Natalie's disappearance, with Leanne swearing to Nick that the Nottingham lass has left for good. When David still can't find his phone, he wonders where he last left it. Realising it was at the barber shop, whilst he was talking to Leanne, he soon puts two and two together.

At the builders' yard, Eileen shows new owner Ed Bailey around and we meet his businessman son Michael. Gary tries to coax a job out of them but is left disappointed. At least he has a 'date' with Sarah to soften the blow.

Still wounded from Sally's attempt to sell Tiny, Tim is ridiculed by Abi and his wife but he's glad the old nag is back (he's definitely in love with the horse). Scuppered by this new threesome, Sally is given some advice by Yasmeen.

Inside No. 3 Steve is introduced to Aggie Bailey, her husband Ed, and her son James - the latter Steve recognises immediately. Welcomed in by the new neighbours, Steve tries to hide why he knows James but the truth about the taxi accident is revealed, and Ed confronts his son.

Meanwhile, Michael Bailey catches the attention of Maria and Michelle but Michael is only interested in Michelle. A downhearted Maria wonders if she's losing her mojo. Tracking down Michelle at the Bistro, Michael confirms a date with her, whilst Robert plays it cool.

At the solicitors, Nick dismisses Sarah's coup for the factory and still thinks he's holding all of the cards. Feeling a little deflated, Sarah seeks more advice from Adam and tells Gary that she can't make their 'date' after all. Adam forces Nick to back off but not before Nick hints that he knows Adam's real intentions for his sister.

Meanwhile, Bethany convinces Gary to give it one more try with Bethany, handing him the keys to an empty Platt house.

Admitting that Nick has given in to his demands, Adam goes round to the Platts to tell Sarah the good news - which she reciprocates with a big snog, just as a key is turned in her front door!

I'll be back soon with a review of the 8.30pm episode.

Speak in a bit!.
