UP FOR SALE, KIDNEYS FAIL, SURPRISE IN THE MAIL
CORONATION STREET (ITV1, 7.30pm) has been truly amazing this week, so we're going to do it first for a change. We've loved the saga of Rita the Beater getting send down for being lippy to the magistrate, and her subsequent announcement of her plans to sell the Kabin. Of course, Rita will no more sell the Kabin than Bev would pass up the chance of a bit of afternoon delight with a young gentleman, but it's fun to watch anyway. The build-up to Steve and Karen's wedding also continues to delight. The look on her face on Wednesday when Fizz, Janice and Hayley were revealed as her new bridesmaids was priceless. Unfortunately, Tracy is still busy on the phone cancelling the whole wedding. We can't se her succeeding, though, as that would mean there would be no opportunity for her to turn up at the venue, clutching Steve's baby, ready to announce to the assembled throng that he's the daddy.
By comparison EASTENDERS (BBC1, 8pm) is fairly dull, even though they are still labouring over the tale of Tariq's true parentage. The ungrateful Ferreira children are starting to realise that they're going to have to be a bit nicer to him if he is to agree to be their living organ bank. It's lucky that Ronny doesn't need a brain transplant, though, otherwise they would be truly fucked.
Eric Pollard has a rather worrying habit of losing wives in EMMERDALE (ITV1, 7pm). As you may remember, his first, Elizabeth, mysteriously disappeared on the night of the plane crash, and it's never been established if she was squashed under some fuselage or if he did her in. And now Gloria has vanished too – but the mystery of her absence is about to be solved in an unexpected fashion, when he receives a video from somewhere hot and sunny and a warning to check his bank balance.
