Wedding bells? It’s a right old ding-dong

CORONATION STREET

- with JACI STEPHEN

When Toyah first sprung the surprise marriage on Imran, he didn’t so much look like a rabbit caught in the headlights, but one who had endured a run-in with a lightsaber in Star Wars. Now the big day is upon us (run, Imran, run!), but of course it doesn’t go according to plan. When Abi realises Imran hired Ben to get dirt on her, she hijacks the wedding car and drives off with Toyah, trying to persuade her to call the whole thing off. Alas, it’s not to be, and the wedding takes place (right). But the drama isn’t over, and as the wedding party enters the Rovers (where else?), Imran confronts Abi in the street, accusing her of being an unfit mother.

It’s a bit rich coming from a man who’s an unfit boyfriend, unfit solicitor and, in his lies about Abi, an allround unfit human being. Still, the rubber baby in the hospital appears to be doing well and is growing so fast (or being pumped up? I don’t know how rubber babies work), he looks as if he’ll be celebratin­g his fourth birthday by the end of June.

Dr Gaddas is back, once more delivering bad news (does the woman ever have anything else?). This time, poor Faye is on the receiving end when she is told that she won’t be able to have more children as she is suffering from an early menopause. It’s rare in one so young, but yes, it does happen. Frightenin­g.

In lighter news, Stu is back in Yasmeen’s bad books (she has no other kind) and serenades her with a song of apology. Don’t give up the day job, mate.
