Corrie weekly updates from 1995 Coronation Street Books by Glenda Young November 18 2017 Billy’s arrested this week after his fingerprints match up with an historic file at the cop shop. He’s taken in for questioning about his role in a hit and run crash which left a woman dead. Now, we know that the woman is going to turn out to be Susan Barlow, Adam’s mam. But it’s soap, it’s Corrie, and as such, we have to suck it up and take it otherwise we might as well give in and watch EastEnders. And so, let’s go with it, all right? Adam represents Billy at the cop shop where he tells him to say “No Comment” to every question he’s asked. When Adam finds out that Billy was in the car that hit his mum and killed her, I suspect Adam will have a little more to say. Beth, Kirk and Craig move into Maria’s flat with her and little Liam after Chesney chucks them out. Roy spills the beans to Beth in the café that Fiz and Tyrone bought a van from the money given to them via Hope’s crowdfunding page. Beth isn’t best pleased to hear that Fiz has kept money that she feels should have been shared. There’s a fight and the cops are called. Robert’s out of jail this week and he and Michelle celebrate with a lot of rumpeh-pumpeh in bed. But Michelle finds a lumpeh-bumpeh in Robert’s downstairs department. Much is made of Robert’s man parts without the word testicle being used, not even once, although Michelle said the word breast. What’s going on here? Come on, Corrie, use the right word. Testicle. It might just help someone who’s going through the same issue you’re highlighting on screen. Testicular cancer. Just say it. Look, I’m sorry if this week’s update is a bit whiney and whingey this week but I’m afraid it’s not been a great week of Corrie for this fan. In fact, apart from Jonathan Harvey’s great Monday night episodes the week before last, I can’t remember when I’ve enjoyed it very much at all. Come on, Corrie! You know you can do better! If you’re forcing six episodes a week on us now, make them six episodes we enjoy and care about, please. Rana and Zeedan have their civil ceremony after Rana and Kate kiss earlier in the week. Rana’s in turmoil wondering whether to marry Zeedan or go after Kate. In the end, she does what the Imam tells her to do after she meets him for advice. But little does she know that Kate had left a message on her phone before the wedding telling her that she loved her. Rana deletes the message without listening to it and then Kate turns up drunk at Yasmeen’s house for the wedding party. And that’s just about that for this week. This week’s writers were Owen Lloyd-Fox (Monday); Martin Allen and Debbie Oates (Wednesday); Joe Turner (Friday).
