CORONATION STREET

FOOTSIE WITH FOOTIE?

After another row in which Daisy assures Daniel she was never after his money (er, Bill Gates he ain’t), she dumps him for Weatherfield County’s new player Ashley. Well, no one saw that coming (said nobody. Ever). Adam thinks that Daniel has dodged a bullet; I’d say he’s dodged a grenade. But finally, a player other than James is drinking in the Rovers. Pity he’s Billy No Mates; is the show’s budget as dire as the club’s?

This turn of events leaves a gap in the market for smitten Summer, who gives herself a Daisy-style makeover, hoping to attract Daniel’s attention. Alas, he fails to notice (pictured). Give him time; he has form in the younger women department. He needs to be careful; when he offers Summer a lift home from school, he’s unaware that jealous Max is filming the laughing pair (that’s Max who grew three feet and underwent a personality transplant during lockdown, by the way).

Life’s on a slight upturn for Kelly when Gary and Maria offer her a job at the barber’s. Is that wise? Given the way she shaves her right eyebrow, I wouldn’t let her loose with shaving foam, let alone a razor.

And at last, the Champagne bottles have been moved from the kitchen unit at Nick and Leanne’s flat. How long has it been? Two years? This is such a momentous event, we at least need to be told what has happened to these major liquid characters.
