Coronation Street : 4th April 2014 7.30pm & 8.30pm : The Hangover from Miss Hell

FM Lover · 04/04/14 - 18:50

Good evening Cobbleheads and welcome to our final thread of the week.
I have been asked to host my very first thread so be very gentle with me as tonight’s the night I finally pop my DS Corrie cherry.

So while we try to come to terms with Strictly without Bruce here’s this evening’s spoilers to get things underway:-

7.30pm

Dev and Kal open the gym, but are disappointed when their first customer is Norris. Spotting Leanne and Kal's mild flirtation, Nick asks Kal if there's anything between them. Will Kal tell the truth?
Peter wakes up next to Steve and is horrified when he realises he told him about his affair with Tina. Much to Steve's annoyance, Peter plays up the lie of Steve's drunken state to Carla in a bid to convince her of his sobriety. Back at his flat, Tina storms round determined to do the pregnancy test...
Owen and Gary snap at Anna and Issy after working all hours. Anna decides to summon Valarie, but what does Anna plan on telling her?
Also, Leanne and Eva move into the flat over the kebab shop; and Tracy argues that they should refuse to pay Peter's rent increase, but Rob decides to appeal to Carla.]

8.30pm

Tina's test confirms she's not pregnant, but she's bitter that she's back to square one as the mistress. She's further enraged when Peter tells her they have to stop seeing each other. Playing a risky game, he tells Tina he doesn't want any more children and he knows she does. Will Tina accept this?
Anna tells Valerie she needs her help because Phelan has been blackmailing them. Valerie remains guarded so Anna admits Pat made a pass at her. Will Valerie believe her confession?
Eva spots Kal and Leanne talking about Nick's suspicions. Leanne touchily thinks Nick should mind his own business.
Also, Mary looks on admiringly as Norris pumps iron in the gym; Peter delights in telling Rob and Tracy that they must cough up the rent, but when Tony overhears, he offers Rob and Tracy some cheap gear to sell...

And here’s some classic Corrie from this day in history for you all to enjoy.

Have fun watching the episodes this evening but I feel that “fun” may not be the appropriate word but Wednesday was a marked improvement on recent times.

Now, let's discuss.

POLL
Sorry you can tell it's my first thread and my first attempt at a Poll, well unless you count my efforts with Magda from Gdansk. 10 out of 10 at the top working down to 1.

Must try harder next time

Congrats on popping your thread cherry, FM

I'm only here for Leanne/Kal and Norris pumping iron

Chesney better watch out now that Nozza is on the gym scene...

Wonder if Tina will bother to check whether Carla's in before she storms over with the pregnancy test.

Rita's Kabin · 04/04/14 - 19:00

We done on losing your thread starting virginity FML

There seems to be a problem with the poll though!! ;-)

Great first thread FM.

Surely this episode will be worth just to see Norris pumping iron.

I'm sure some will enjoy more Peter/Steve bed scenes.........

Losing Brucie and Stella in one week. TV will never be the same again.

Evening all!

EDIT Congrats Lewi! and thanks RK.

Sandra Bee · 04/04/14 - 19:18
