Welcome to Wednesday's edition of the Coronation Street Blog and the first of tonights two episodes.
We begin with breakfast at Number 3, Eileen's cooking for a recuperating Phelan - he's feeling rather chipper after escaping near death at the mill. He also escaped the carnage of Sally's Monday night party!. Gina filled us is in on the off-screen action, including Tracy V Jenny in an arm wrestling competition and Moira painted Sally's patio with wine vomit.
Tim (waiting for the rain to clear it up) is tidying up Sally's post-party, in preparation for some home viewings. However, after Monday nights heroics, Tim's conscience (in saving his arch enemy) is keeping him preoccupied. This leaves Sally to show a bemused Michelle and Carla around number 4, with the latter feigning interest in buying it, just for something to do. Sophie does actually sell her van to Aidan though, so a Conner / Webster transaction is assured, at least.
Over at Roys Rolls, Phelan is taking some time off from the Mill and tells Mona he's quitting the job... as Eileen is ill?. Phelan's newly acquired cocksure attitude may work on Mona, but in enters Tim, unafraid of the murderer's machiavellian misdemeanours and promises Phelan some poetic justice.
Also taking time off, are Ty& Fizz, Chez & Gemma and... Sean. Its mid-week, nobody seems to be working, so they all head to The Bistro!. With Sean seamlessly playing gooseberry, there appears to be romantic tension between Chez, Gemma and a jealous Tyrone?.
As the boxing motif continues, a punchbag is set up in Kevs old garage. With Chezney now also a contender in the boxing match, will the undercard fight see Ty V Chez?.
As the gang talk of their off-spring and share pictures, it's clear that Tyrone has lied to Fizz about Ruby's troublesome behaviour and Gemma clearly knows it.
On the other side of the street, Tim's keeping occupied and is mid shift at street cars. With Eileen at the switchboard, she sends Phelan off to give Tim a thankyou card in his cab. Phelan however, decides to give Tim another gift entirely.
Beguiled by Tim, Phelan admits the Calcutta Street scam.. only to be overheard by Eileen on the taxi intercom.
Is Phelan about to become 'unstuck'?. Maybe he could get in the ring with Tim for the charity boxing match?. That I would be ringside for!
Anyway, that's me done for another week, I'm off to a sparring session with Zeedan.
