Coronation Street Episode Review; Weds 19th of August 7.30 pm


For me, Abi's adoption of the twins, and farming them out to Australia, may raise a few more questions than it answers. However, guilt does tend to surface in the most peculiar ways, and hearing news of the twin’s imminent departure, Abi’s anxiousness at seeing them for one final time seems to manifest itself into a dangerous predicament at the garage which puts that final meeting in jeopardy! 
I think ‘Metal Guru’ by T REX blaring out on the radio might have been a little bit of foreshadowing! 

With one set of twins leaving the street, it’s nice to be reminded that Paul and Gemma (rarely seen together) are also twins and it’s soon to be their 30th birthday. Can Billy pull a surprise for boyfriend Paul, and is it nice to see these two back on screen? 



Gemma seems too busy to bothered anyway, her vlogging career is blooming, and the support group seems fulfilling. Is it just me that sensing something sinister with Vanessa? Paul, meanwhile, is gossiping about Sarah and Adam’s marital woes to Alina, and Sarah vents out her frustration to fellow Barlow babe, Carla. 


As I mentioned recently, the marriage of houses Barlow and Platt has been a masterstroke in plot development but it doesn’t half make this street seem more quasi incestuous than usual?! I think Adam may try to make his marriage work, but I’m thinking its all about revenge towards Gary, now? It’s all very interconnected just lately, isn’t it? At least Daniel has strayed outside of the street for his latest squeeze, it’s just a pity he’s paying for it, and literally. Is Nicky deliberately cooling it as Daniel is coming on too strong OR is she falling for him? 


With Abi’s accident meaning she’s trapped and unable to get out to see the twins, I assumed that Seb was going to find and save her. However, Peter’s heroic rescue, via Tyrone’s bizarre dressing gown scene, distracted me somewhat and proved to be a more than subtle reminder of the boat fire and this pair's short-lived romance. Is trouble on the cards just as Carla sang Peter’s praises to Sarah? 



Talking of which, and I don’t say this lightly, I love mad Mary and her hilarious views on life’s more mundane moments. However, I just didn't understand why she would gawp at Eileen’s mail and especially if it was from her son Todd, who’s been missing for a year or two? I think Sean may be a bad influence on her - that's all I'm saying on that subject!

What do you think?
