Doesn’t suit you, Aidan

There is only one piece of advice I can offer Coronation Street’s love rat of the moment, Aidan Connor, right now. You might want to stop wearing those tight-fitting suits of yours for the next few days, mate.

That cut will do nothing for your sprinting. And if the look on Eva’s face at the end of last night’s second episode is anything to go by, you’ll have to be pushing Usain Bolt’s record if you want to escape her fury. I feel Eva’s pain, of course. That said, I’m delighted that we are about to move into my favourite stage of any illicit affair storyline in soapland – the retribution.

Though the revelation stage deserves credit, too. It was up there with the Branning clan viewing Max and Stacey’s kissing DVD on Christmas Day, back when EastEnders was still good.

Aidan’s gadget smugness has often annoyed me, so I found it hugely satisfying that connecting his TV up to his tablet led directly to his undoing. My money is on Eva stamping all over his dongle in the middle of the Rovers.

PS: Did newcomer Nicola Thorp show up in flat shoes last night in continuation of her campaign against women being forced to wear heels in the workplace?

Or had the other actresses just warned her that those cobbles can be proper ankle-breakers?
