Welcome to part one of tonight's blog review. Its another Wednesday of Weatherfield drama. I cannot believe its the 20th of December!!. As Christmas week looms large, will we have any festive treats on the street tonight?.
Tonight's episodes begin with Eileen in Weatherfield General, she's lucid and with no permanent damage (phew!). Phelan, however, is less than lucid. He's highly vengeful of Anna, and Todd feels the same about Gary. Eileen warns Phelan to leave it be, but will he heed her advice?. As Anna is visited by her solicitor, she's certainly facing conviction and has played right into Phelan's murderous hands. Will Anna spend Christmas in jail or will Phelan exact any further revenge?.
Over at the Corner shop flat, Billy visits Daniel and Adam. As a preoccupied Daniel is looking for Peter's secret Santa present, Billy has a secret Santa present that's ready for Adam!.
The Bessie street kids have a grotto at the community centre and Billy needs Adam to dress as an elf. An idea that offers no entertainment until he finds out Eva is dressing up as a saucy... reindeer?!!. As quick as you can say 'noughts and crosses on a tortoise' Adam is over at the community centre playing storytime with a rather eye-catching Eva!. Before you know it, the kid's grotto becomes grotty, Eva and Adam are caught in a festive feel-up and 'Carry on Corrie' does Christmas!!.
Meanwhile, Ayla's not so happy that Eva's ex Aidan is showcasing the Parker Brothers and winning a new business deal, behind her back. Eventually winning her over, it seems slimy Aidan is hiding something from her. However, Alya is also as ambitious as he is and decides they need business premises to seal the new deal , not just any premises though, she wants Underworld!. Will Aidan be able to rescue his conscience and get the factory girls their jobs back, or will Jonny sell Underworld to Mathew Singh?.
Over at The Rovers, B&B guest Chris has got his feet firmly under the table. It isn't long before he is charming Leanne, viewing flats, and buying her drinks. But what is teetotaller Chris hiding?. Luckily for Leanne, Steve already has suspicions and is playing the protective father, or it Leanne he's protective of?. With a date fallen through, Steve takes Tracy to The Rovers for a classic foursome.. awkward!. However, with Chris's bizarre stories of animal puzzle challenges and a mishap with a fraudulent credit card, it isn't long before resident genius Sarah Platt (who knew?) has worked out that Chris is an ID thief!!.
Is Leanne in danger? will Steve ever update his dating profile picture? does Dev sell dodgy Christmas Trees?.
What a Christmas Cracker!
That's me done for tonight's first episode.
I'm off now, Billy has asked me to dress up for tonight's Community Centre Grotto.
