So who’ll be Kelly’s hero?

-

CORONATION STREET

The secret’s out and Kelly now knows who killed her dad. It never rains but it pours for that girl, and it was too much to hope that she faced a rosy future with Aadi. Instead, she’s hellbent on revenge, and outside the police station offers Kieron £10k to kill Gary. It’s back to the woods for him when Kieron kidnaps him and, at gunpoint, orders him to dig his own grave.

Kelly’s own life is in danger when Kieron leads her onto the roof of a disused mill and reveals his plan to kill her and frame her for Gary’s murder, making it look like murdersuic­ide. Gary’s out of the woods by now, literally and metaphoric­ally, and comes to Kelly’s aid on the roof, telling Kieron to kill him instead. Cue gunshot.

But who is the victim?

Phew. That is some complicate­d plot and it’s hard to see what’s in it for Kieron, especially for a lousy £10k. Millie Gibson (Kelly) is leaving, so it could be her. Or does Aadi get caught in the crossfire (please, no).

Will it be Gary (right, with Kelly and Aadi), who might face the prospect of his perfectly coiffured hair being dislodged (that would be a first — it could survive a bomb blast in a hurricane)?

Or will it be curtains for Kieron, a supposedly gangster-like character who’s actually about as scary as The Muppet Show’s Fozzie Bear?

With Toyah having been found not guilty of murder, will Spider choose her over his job in the force — a twist about as exciting as a salt and vinegar Twirl. I’m just not buying it.

And why, if he’s an undercover copper, is he not dishing the dirt on his activist mates — and please, enough about activism. If I hear that word one more time, I’m going to... well, activate something into my TV screen.

Having fought for months for the props department to remove the wine and Champagne bottles from Leanne’s kitchen, I’m now demanding they be put back. Leanne will need all the alcohol she can get to survive Toyah’s train wreck of a life.
