There's only been two episodes this week due to Euro
football so not much to report on this week. But first, a gripe. I'm
sick to the back teeth of back room St Ella. She's in every scene of
every storyline of every episode and I have had enough. Yes, I know
that the landlady of the Rovers Return is an important role in
Coronation Street and as such, she's involved in many storylines and
appears in many scenes. But enough, please, Corrie. Enough. St Ella
isn't that watchable, she's not lovable and she's ruining my
enjoyment of watching my favourite TV programme. Can we have an
episode without her, just one? And can you make it soon,
please?
Right, with that off my chest, here we go with this
week's Coronation Street update.
Jason decides Eva the
cleavage is the woman of his dreams when she agrees to go out on a
date with him. "You're a cracking bird!" he tells her but he doesn't
yet know she's only going out with him to wind up Nicky boy. She
still doesn't get it that Nick's Just Not That Into Her when he
encourages her out on the date with Jason and she's still hankering
after some rumpeh-pumpeh with Gail's golden boy. But Nick's got
other things on his mind in the shape of his ex-wife Leanne and it
looks like might just be warming to him again.
Leanne's now
got little Simon living with her in the back room of the Rovers
after Peter makes the heartbreaking decision to let his son go. As
Leanne takes Simon out of the flat, Peter breaks down and cries but
knows he has to do the right thing to keep Simon happy. However,
when he arranges to take Simon for a burger in town the next day,
with Leanne's blessing and all, she then changes her mind at the
last minute, refusing Peter see his son. Boo! Hiss! We sat on the
sofa shaking our heads and going "Leanne, you're wrong there,
love."
Down at the salon, Audrey has a word with Maria
after she spots that her stylist has clearly been inhaling too much
perm solution and is falling for Marcus. Not that there's anything
wrong with Marcus, in fact there's a lot right with him, but Marcus
is gay and bright and Maria is straight and dim.
Over at the
Rovers, Sunita's moved in causing hassle for Karl who's terrified
she's going to spill the beans to St Ella about their brief fling.
She keeps quiet for now and after sarcastic comments from Eva about
overstaying her welcome in the pub, Sunita packs up and heads back
to Dev. But before she leaves, she throws the wad of cash back of
Karl that he'd won at the bookies, just as Eva walks in the door of
the back room at the pub. Eva wants to know what's to do, but
no-one's saying anything yet.
And finally this week, Steve
puts his house up for sale causing ructions for Tracy and Beth, who
are furious with Mr McDonald for trying to take their home away from
them both. So they join forces to put off a prospective buyer who
comes to view the house, leaving the house in a mess with a
decidedly kippery smell in the air.
