Corrie weekly updates from 1995 Coronation Street Books by Glenda Young April 22 2017 There was a secret revealed and a Rover returned in this week’s Corrie. The secret was Shona’s as we finally got to find out what it was she’s been hiding – she’s Clayton’s mum. Clayton, you’ll remember, is the guy who is in prison for killing Kylie Platt. He’s the guy who David tried to kill by crashing his car full of petrol into his prison van, only David’s plan went wrong and Anna ended up on fire. Shona reveals her true identity to Gail after she overhears Gail and Sarah talking about David and Clayton. Shona tells Gail that if she keeps quiet about her being killer Clayton’s mum then she’ll keep quiet about Gail’s son David trying to kill Clayton. Still with me so far? Good. I’m getting confused myself. What did come out of this was, if not a friendship, then a respect between Shona and Gail, two mothers united by murderous, killing men. Adam’s taken in for questioning about Ken’s attack after his fingerprints are found on Ken’s new kitchen worktop. Fingerprints were taken on the night of the attack and results have just come through, all these weeks later, to prove that Adam touched the newly installed worktop the night that Ken was attacked. Still with me so far? Good. But it’s Amy who rings the cops and dobs Adam in. How does she know Adam was in the house the night of the attack and touched the new worktops? As I said earlier, Corrie’s getting confusing, or is it just me starting to zone out and not care, which is far worse than being confused about plot holes. Come on Corrie, pull yourself together and stop alienating character development for the sake of headlines and storylines. Adam’s also on the hunt for Daniel’s mum, he wants to know what’s going on and what Daniel is hiding. He starts by trying to track down Daniel’s mum Denise’s ex-fella, Brian Dunkley, but gets nowhere fast. Elsewhere this week, Sophie and Rosie track down Sally’s stalker and confront her in the street. It’s a young woman called Leah who blames her step mum for the stalking. “She’s always on the internet causing trouble,” Leah says. Meanwhile, in the Rovers, an old friend of Fiz’s turns up, a fella called Kim that she was in care with, many years ago. Tyrone’s not happy to find out Kim is a man when he’d been expecting a woman and doesn’t much like Fiz having a man friend. Over in Underworld, Jenny Bridezilla Bradley sets up a wedding corner for her bits and bobs as she plans her nuptials. Poor Johnny’s not well and it’s only Kate who’s noticed, so far. Jenny asks Kate to be her bridesmaid and Kate’s too polite to refuse. And finally, the grooming storyline gets worse. Nathan creates a rift between Sarah and Bethany, who refuses to return home and says she’s moved in with Nathan. She’s also been bunking off school. I almost threw up my tea when Nathan took a picture of Bethany and sent it to his mate Neil who texted back with “My go next”. Ena Sharples will be spinning in her grave. This week’s writers were Simon Crowther (Monday double); John Kerr (Wednesday); Damon Alexis-Rochefort (Friday double).
