CORONATION STREET

■ KNOWING YOUR LIMIT

Talk about milking a set! With Oliver’s sad demise, a hospital is the last place we want to see. But we’re back there, this time with Peter who, after a serious relapse, appears to be in the throes of liver failure after Daniel finds him covered in blood and vomiting. Ignoring Daniel’s instruction not to tell anyone (a red rag to get your megaphone out in Weatherfield), Adam informs Ken, w hor ushes to the hospital (pictured). Ken is devastated when Peter tells him he is sure he is at death’s door (Dry January, anyone?). He’d have been there a lot sooner if he’d discovered how much cheaper the local Co-op’s booze is compared to Dev’s. At least on Monday, David the dog proved he was still alive. There’s good news when the planning officer rules against the development. Just as well. Did you see the size of that bulldozer that arrived at the brewery? It was bigger than the set, which it looked in danger of knocking down. Suffice it to say the operator was no Lewis Hamilton. Todd continues to cause friction between Billy and Paul and manoeuvres events to get Paul arrested. Fooled, Billy clearly thinks his ex walks on water – but if you’ve fallen for that story once, you will do again. Just get him to turn water into wine; that’s the real test (and the only one that matters. Ask Peter).

■ SPANNER IN THE PERKS

Desire overcomes people in the strangest places in this village. Take Charity. There she is, happily trying to conduct a robbery with sidekick Mack, when she is forced to knock the driver out with a spanner. Does she panic? No. She and Mack (pictured) start going through the loot, flirting, and lean in for a kiss. She’s really not fussy, is she?

Elsewhere, are we about to witness a resurrection of Vestrygate, when Charles the vicar turns up looking for Harriet? Keep your dog collar on a tight leash, mate; she has form. Stay away from the vestry; the chalice and hymn books have seen enough.
