Corrie weekly updates from 1995 Coronation Street Books by Glenda Young April 28 2018 The big story this week has been Kate and Rana, who I just can’t be doing with so I’m afraid that I zone out and fall asleep when they come on screen. After Rana’s mother kidnapped her, Kate rings the police and gets her arrested. Rana’s not best pleased and neither is Kate when she walks into Zeedan’s new venture, Speed Daal, to find Rana and Zeedan getting along again. Anyway, as I said, this storyline bores me silly and I wish it was over. Over at Underworld, Summer saves the fortunes of the knicker factory when she spots the maths isn’t right on an order they’ve received. No-one else spots the error, not Aidan or Alya or Carla. After she spends a day’s work experience at the factory, Summer leaves behind her notebook in which she’s scribbled love notes about Aidan Connor on whom she’s got a crush. I love Summer, she’s complex and difficult and everything she touches crumbles into dust. Watch out, Underworld. Seb’s mum Abi turns up again and Eileen takes her in at No. 11. Abi has spent time in prison where she’s learned a thing or two about motors and offers Tyrone some advice in the garage. She’s like a back-street Charlene from Neighbours. David takes salon apprentice Emma home with him, to bed, and tells his family she’s moving in with him. They all know David’s going through a crisis and Gary tries to have a word with him. There’s a moment, just the tiniest moment, where it looks as if David might open up to Gary and tell him what happened between him and Josh, before David shuts down again. Maria also tries to get David to open up about what’s on his mind and he lunges at her for a snog, but she pushes him away. Liz goes on a date in the Bistro with new fella Mike. I like Mike. I like Liz. I love the two of these together, but sadly actor Louis Emerick who plays Mike was only brought in to the show for three months so there’s no chance of a long-term relationship for Liz this time. What a missed opportunity, there. Billy returns from rehab this week and wants to move back into this flat, but Tracy refuses, saying he owes her back rent. However, Shona and Adam get involved after Angie reveals that she’s been doing Tracy’s books for the florist shop and Tracy’s been cooking the books. Shona and Adam blackmail Tracy with this information and Tracy has no choice but to allow Billy and Summer to move back into the flat. Shona moves in too, which was a nice touch. HOPSITAL SCENE KLAXON. In a silly fight over a bird feeder in Sally’s garden with Yasmeen, Audrey falls and hurts herself and ends up in hospital. Jeff the hospital radio DJ comes to say hello and Audrey’s all a-quiver at meeting him again. But it seems as if Jeff has his eye on all the ladies, not just Mrs Roberts as he gives Yasmeen his business card and suggests they get together later on. And finally this week, the absolutely bonkers baby storyline of Eva and Toyah rumbles on. Peter’s a shadow of the man he once was, Toyah’s snuffing the life out of him with her designer-chintz blouses. And Simon’s becoming an unruly teenager. Not the best week on the street, not by a long mile.
