CORONATION STREET

How great is Sue Nicholls? Her portrayal of Audrey (right), surrounded by family but still lonely, is one of the most poignant storylines the show’s delivered. The UK isn’t kind to its ageing population, and Audrey’s frustration with those around her is incredibly moving. When she tells Claudia, Ken and Rita that she tried to kill herself, it’s shocking and upsetting, but seems to be a wake-up call and so she decides to revamp the salon (clients, beware).

Sinister Arrival Stephen (SAS)

is sure something’s amiss, but Audrey fobs him off with lies, which don’t deter him from pushing her to sign over the trust fund paperwork. No, Audrey! Did you learn nothing from the debacle with Lewis? Stephen’s more slippery than an eel in olive oil. The SAS is also up to no good when he suggests energising Underworld’s

website. Sarah’s impressed – no surprises there though. Life’s less rosy for Craig and Faye when she tells him off for humiliating her in front of her boss. Despite Craig giving her a nightie to keep her cool when in bed, she’s distraught. Next thing you know, Craig’s packing his bags. Plural? Does he even own more than two shirts?
