CORONATION STREET

TRIAL BY FURY?

I’ve never been convinced by Gina. Not for a second did I believe Dev would’ve fallen for her once, let alone twice, when he claimed he wanted her back (Seriously? He’d have had more fun dating one of his overpriced bottles of shiraz – you can buy six bottles in Lidl for what he charges for one). She’s always seemed like a kind of washed-up mermaid, ever jealous that her best and more glamorous mate landed Troy Tempest (Google Stingray, for all you young people out there). Will she come through when she takes the stand, allegedly in Sally’s defence? Unlikely.

As the week progresses and she starts playing husband and wife against each other, it’s clear Gina’s looking at the long game. At least Sally has managed to get hold of some decent foundation and mascara while she’s been inside, just before she goes to court. But will the jury buy her story, and, importantly, will Tim (pictured with Sally) buy the lies Gina is peddling? Ask yourself this, Tim: could you really stand to listen to that voice banging on all day? And night? For eternity? Sally may be a social climber, but Gina couldn’t make it up a single rung playing Snakes And Ladders (though she makes a very convincing snake).

Also, Rana and Kate are in for a shock when they discover their first round of IVF is going to cost them £3,500 (roughly Carla’s red wine bill for the week). And will the dead body in the morgue turn out to be Jude? Er, how will they be able to tell?
