CORONATION STREET: THIS COULD GET MESSY, PHILL!

Little did Fiz know when she named her daughter Hope that she would spend every day saying her name – not as in calling her by it (she is only ever one half of The Girls), but as in really hoping that she’ll turn into a ‘normal’ child. After discovering what Phill is up to, Hope takes revenge by smashing the arm of a mini-digger into his car. 

Storming round to Phill’s when the truth comes out, Tyrone struggles with him, and the pair fall into the wet cement on the patio. How much work is Phill doing on that new house, for goodness’ sake?

It’s another week packed with BWP (Below Waist Problems), with Faye being referred to a fertility specialist and Tim talking to Dr Gaddas about his impotence. Somebody, give the doctor a drink! 

Does she ever leave that office? The waiting room’s never even half full, so surely she could slip out for the odd half at the Rovers during lunchtime. 

Imran and Toyah agree to let Abi have Alfie for a day, little suspecting that she’s planning to do a runner. After securing two fake passports and making travel plans for Costa Rica (that’s some adventure, when Blackpool is another continent to most locals), she begs Kevin to keep her secret. 

When he bumps into Imran in the street, will he reveal all? Have you noticed how much time Imran spends in the street, by the way, always lurking with sinister intent? 

For a man who is outdoors so much, you’d think he’d have had the nous to buy an overcoat. Maybe
