Coronation Street Episode Review 2 November 8.30pm

We’re back and Peter is already getting Adam to draw up a contract for the factory sale. Just as you should never do your food shopping when you’re hungry, I can’t help thinking that you shouldn’t do business deals with a bruised ego. But it’s all academic anyway as Nigel has decided he’s out. He thought Carla was aware of the deal and doesn’t want a hostile partner, certainly not one who could probably give him a nasty papercut with one of her cheekbones.

The lady in question is still at Michelle’s. The two of them now seem to have identical hair, eyebrows and leather jackets which makes you question both the range of beauty salons in Greater Manchester and the possibility of Ali having a suppressed oedipal complex. Michelle is about to tell Carla about the murder and how it's affected HER, when Ali himself arrives home drunk and Carla decides to leave them to it.

Drunk Ali promptly confesses to Robert that he murdered Ronan and wants to hand himself in. Robert seems quite surprised by this, I don't understand why as I’m pretty sure that Michelle has already sang like a canary and told Robert that secret that she promised to take to the grave. Robert tells Ali not to go to the police, but to return to his GP training where he will have the opportunity to save thousands of lives. He also offers him a job at the bistro while he decides what he wants to do. Please don’t let this be Ali’s fate. I’ve lost count of how many once bright and educated characters are reduced to waiting tables or collecting glasses. Can we please just once have a character who’s rewarded rather than punished for their intellect.

Meanwhile it's all happening over at the Rovers: Nick is telling Leanne how he’s changed. He’s not bothered by Peter or Steve anymore and just wants to stick around. Leanne’s not having any of it, unsurprisingly as it’s all a teeny bit creepy and stalkerish.  Gina and Tim are back from a football match and growing closer over a game of darts. Whilst out in the backroom Carla is confessing to Johnny that she might still be in love with Peter. ‘Now I can buy him out I don’t want to’ she says. Johnny, whilst not that happy about his daughter still having feelings for the man who broke her heart, tells her she needs to talk to him.

A call comes through from Peter asking Carla to meet him in the factory.  She rushes over about to take her dad’s advice, but Peter has a shock for her.  He is still selling his share but to…Nick.

And that’s all from me for this week Corrie fans.  Hope you've enjoyed it as much as me. Byeee.
