CORONATION STREET

- JACI STEPHEN’S ultimate insight into the week’s soaps

BAD SCORE

Oh, not again, please. Abi’s relapsed once more and, high on drugs and alcohol, finds herself in agony on a country road when Dean, who’s stolen a car from

Kevin’s, leaves her abandoned (pictured). Even an accident doesn’t stop Abi from trying to score more drugszzzzz (wake me up when it’s over).

These drug storylines smack (no pun intended) of desperatio­n when there’s little else going on. Apart from Lydia terrorisin­g Adam, everything’s rather flat at the moment. They’ve even shunted Craig off to the factory, so expect the crime rate to rocket now that he’s not lurking on every street corner, reading everyone their rights.

If this wasn’t thrilling enough, Michael wants to track down Grace (remember her? Me neither) to invite her to Glory’s birthday party. When he tells Ed and Aggie he’s stopped searching for Grace, Ed and Aggie are relieved. You and me both.

Come on, Corrie; the humour (always brilliant) is too inconsiste­nt at the moment. At least Daisy appears to be revisiting psycho mode when she tries to put Nicky off the scent of Daniel. A case of that mouth ain’t big enough for the both of us?
