Coronation Street double episode review, Monday March 12

The continuity announcer somewhat sarcastically declared that it was time for "more Cluedo" before the first of Monday's episodes - and he had a point. To mix detective cliches, I'm almost expecting  Inspector Poirot or Columbo to turn up in Weatherfield,  this whole whodunnit storyline is  getting so contrived. 

It will be good when all is revealed and normal Coronation Street business returns as normal.I'm not the first to say this, but Corrie producers would be wise to have a period away from all these blood and thunder murder/killing/fatal accident recent storylines.
Anyhow, Carla protested her innocence to the police when questioned on suspicion of murder. But Peter then falsely confessed to the killing, apparently to protect her, after he saw her burn Frank's  contract which Michelle had previously confessed to stealing.


Hurt Lewis decided to quit Coronation Street but a contrite Audrey persuaded him to stay after she, predictably, confessed she still had feelings for him. It's good news having the wonderful Nigel Havers continuing in the Street. Let's just hope they don't devise a storyline around him as the next Corrie serial killer!

Alzheimer's Diseasevictim Lesley rallied and showed patches of her former self after husband Paul jogged her memory with old photo albums. Eileen was secretly miffed and tried to encourage Paul to look into residential care for Lesley as she felt it was best for her. Not like you have an ulterior motive eh, Eileen!

And Dennis arranged a surprise engagement party with all their friends for bride to be Rita.
