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 she might just be warming to him again. This is wrong in a million different ways.
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 to let 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 at 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 Old 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.
And that’s just about that for this week.
This week's writers were Carmel Morgan – who managed to get my favourite singer Alison Moyet’s 51st birthday mentioned in the episode - and Julie Jones. Find out more about the Coronation Street writing team at:
