It's been harrowing
this week on Coronation Street. The aftermath of Frank
raping Carla has played out emotionally with exceptional
performances from the actors who play Frank, Carla, Leanne and
Peter, especially.
Meanwhile, the residents of the Street get dolled up in their
best bib and tucker for Carla and Frank's wedding. The cake's
arrived, the pink orchids are on the tables at the Bistro and
Sally's got her fascinator on until news spreads that the wedding's
off . And it doesn't take long for the reason why to filter up the
street. Peter spots Frank sneak into the Bistro and thumps him so
hard he falls in his own wedding cake. This makes it more difficult
for Peter to prove he was just caring for a friend when he tries to
knock seven bells out of Frank, but that's Peter for you, thump
first and ask later.
Anyway, Frank's now in jail after bail was refused while he
waits for his case to be referred up to Crown Court.
As Carla struggles to cope ?I feel like a victim, and I
don't do victim? she tells Doctor Carter who prescribes her sleeping
pills, Peter supports his friend. At least he keeps telling himself,
and anyone who'll listen, that Carla's his friend, but there's more
to it all and Leanne visits Frank in jail to find out what's really
going on. She finds out
more than she bargains for however when Frank confesses it was Carla
driving the car that crashed into Stella. Armed with this news, Leanne
storms to Carla's flat where Peter is administering some TLC to his
friend. She's not daft,
Leanne, but she really should leave Peter, she knows full well
what's going on, even if Peter denies anything's happened. And it
hasn't, not in the sub-duvet sense but in the heart to heart sense,
it really has.
Elsewhere, Anna springs a leak under the kitchen sink.
Cue plumbing innuendo as Owen goes in to try to fix her stop cock
and there's passion with the plumber when Owen and Anna sleep
together. Clearly the cock is no longer fixed at stop. She does her best to
ignore him afterwards but Gary knows they really like each other and
fixes his mum up with a date with Owen in the Bistro.
On the golf course with Lloyd, Dev discovers son Aadi
is a naturally gifted golfer and goes all out to encourage the kid
buying him a brand new set of golf clubs when Sunita's already
warned Dev that their finances are
low.
Tyrone's new girlfriend Kirsty reveals she's a cop and
there's an odd sort of storyline involving Kirsty, Tina and Rita's
car. Kirsty thinks Tina
has damaged her car and Tina thinks Kirsty has damaged Rita's car
when neither has done nowt to nothing. But it sets the two girls up
against each other as Tryone tries to calm things between them.
And over at the Websters, Kevin
asks Ken for advice on changing baby Jack's surname from Dobbs to
Webster. Tyrone's not best pleased, as you can imagine. And Rosie's over the moon
that she's been given a modeling job on ITV's Lorraine. Cue cross
ITV-programme promotion and Rosie's own modeling website at

And that's just about
that for this week.
