Welcome to Wednesday's edition of the Coronation Street Blog. It's just the half-hour slot tonight as it's the Brit awards (my money is on Ed Sheeran, we all love a redhead on Corrie). So what happened in tonight's episode?. Let's find out...
Nicola is settling in at number 11 and is on leave from work. With Phelan and Eileen both busy, she scouts around the house for 'evidence' but Pat has his tracks covered, he's also pinched Nicola's flat keys.
Confused with 'pilly Billy's' Lazarus style withdrawal recovery, Eileen heads over to his flat and corners him for an answer. The vicar breaks another sin and lies to Mrs Phelan, he says he's feigning recovery for Summer's sake, but as he's running low on methadone.. that lie shan't last for long.
Over at the medical centre, Phelan drops in for a 'knee appointment' and returning receptionist Liz suggests Eileen could do with a break in Barcelona. Phelan isn't feeling jovial and dismisses Liz's idea. It isn't long before Liz spills the beans on Pat's controlling behaviour and the best friends are soon arguing about Eileen's choice of husband. Has Liz now come under Phelan's radar?.
Meanwhile, Jenny also drops into the medical centre, armed with her new Spanish address and dreams of leaving Weatherfield. However, with Roy needing to go to Hastings to care for his Mum, will Johnny leave a recovering Carla and Aidan in the lurch?. Of course not. A 3-month delay soon dashes Jenny's dreams, and as Carla gives her factory shares back to Aidan (he does not look well!) Johnny decides to go back to the factory helm. Jenny plays it cool-but how long before my favourite Corrie redhead explodes?.
As Phelan arrives back at N0.11, Nicola is on a sneaky phone call to Seb. Quickly ending the call and leaving the room, Phelan sneaks back the 'borrowed' keys and keeps a copy for himself. Nicola smugly thinks shes outwitted Pat, but we all know otherwise.
Proposing to Eileen that 'the devil makes work for idle hands' and that 'certain people' need to be removed from your life, are Pat's prophecies foreshadowing more murderous events?.
Has he got his eyes on a new victim?. Are Liz or Nicola safe?. Whats Phelan's plans with the keys?.
Do enjoy watching the nations favourite redhead on the Brit awards. Mine, however, will always be Jenny Bradley...oh for a trikini!.
I shall be back for another episode review, this time next week.
TARA!!
