Is Stephen flirting with disaster?

CORONATION STREET

What, pray, does Ed do all day, apart from talk to Steve about his roof and take on labourers? What are they working on? Now he has a labouring job for Leo, who is sour about turning down the job in Canada. Jenny says she doesn’t want to stand in his way, and when a flirty Stephen arrives at the pub, Jenny invites him into the back — which is always a euphemism for Couples Up To No Good.

During a passionate kiss (right), will they be caught off guard when Leo returns brandishing an engagement ring (wow, labourers’ wages must be really good; he’s only been working for two days)? Stephen’s interest was piqued when he heard that Jenny is the sole owner of the pub. How many more women is he going to not-sosubtly hit on? Elaine, Yasmeen, Jenny — and then there’s Gabrielle back in Italy…

He’s still nagging Audrey to sign the trust fund papers — or distrust fund, as it clearly is where he’s concerned. She tells him she’s changed her mind, then admits to the family that she tried to kill herself. The shock will doubtless be tempered when she tells them she’s made a will giving them all equal shares… except… wait for it… except Stephen, who was kind enough to say he didn’t need it. Oh dear, Stevie boy, that plan hasn’t just backfired, it’s blown your head off your shoulders. If you have money troubles, work for Ed. You’ll be Bill Gates by the end of the year.

Is romance in the air for Ken when he invites Wendy to a musical?

He’s thrown when she gives him the cold shoulder, but why? My guess is it’s Hamilton: at two hours 45 minutes, that’s a long night to have to spend with Ken. Thank goodness those 9900 seconds include an intermission of 15 minutes, during which she could take refuge in the toilet.
