Check out the Coronation Street Blog - it's FAB

I'm writing this to you now from the safety of my PC shouting at the top of my voice "NO!! Sally NO!! Don't do it Sally!!". Yes indeed folks.. it looks like it really could happen - Sally and Kevin back together again? It's the girls' nativity play at school and although Kevin promises Sally and the girls he'll be there, he has to miss out when Natalie takes ill (although I reckon it was just a ploy to keep Kevin at home?). He tries to apologise to Sally but it's the girls he really has to apologise to, and they forgive him and give him a special performance of the nativity show in the Webster's front room. With the girls crooning Christmas Carols, Kevin comes over all sentimental like and tells Sally he wants to move back, to be with the girls. She doesn't know what to believe, and wonders if he really wants HER back at all but he says he does, and tells her that he'll leave Natalie. So, off he trots to Natalie's house and tells her it's all over, and that he's going back to Sally. Natalie is distraught, but just as Kevin is leaving, she turns the knife and tells him about Sally and Chris! Oohh! Kevin storms off to confront Chris and they end up fighting in the Street after Chris admits to sleeping with Sally, and Des tries his best to stop any blood spilling on the cobbles. Kevin goes back to see Sally and she tells him that she's prepared to make a go of their relationship and that she does want him back, but he tells her he knows about Chris, calls her a sanctimonious lying bitch and walks out again.

The second major storyline this week has been the Mallets and Zoe. Busy packing the van for their trip to Newcastle, Gary doesn't notice Zoe sneak into their house and she whips baby Katie away before he can say "ha'way the lads". She takes the baby to Fred Eliott's house where Ashley tries to protect her against the Mallets when they try to get Katie back. Zoe has told Ashley everything about the sale of her baby and Ashley takes Zoe's side and does his best to help her. While Judy and Gary are frantic with worry, Ashley drives Zoe to a "friend" and drops her in a tree lined street. But as soon as Ashley's van pulls away, Zoe walks on with the baby until she finds Liam, the baby's father, living in a squat and tells him about his baby.

Audrey, busy enjoying herself a bit too much in the salon, decides she'd like to buy the place from Fiona. She calls Fiona at home to discuss her plans but luckily Fiona's back on the Street now with no intention of selling out to Audrey. She does agree to Audrey helping out in the salon as she'll need extra help when her baby comes along.

Vera goes on her date, under the name "Roxie L'Amour" to meet her tall, dark, handsome Italian type. Alec of couse has fixed her up with Jack and there's a great scene when the two of them meet in the hotel restaurant, and Vera hides under the tablecloth when she sees Jack walk in. When they both find out what's going on, Vera is so incensed that Jack is working for Alec as an escort that she pours ice cubes down his trousers. After this, the two of them communicate via Samantha in the Rovers.

After last week, when Des was jumped on by Sam's ex, and Les Battersby helped Des out of the fight, Les now feels that Des owes him something for his assistance. In the Rovers, Des is expected to buy Les' drinks for him, and Les wants to go nightclubbing with Des and Samantha but Des refuses. They both go back to Des' house where Les is most pleased to find Samantha wearing her dressing gown. As Samantha goes upstairs to get dressed, Les insinuates he'd quite like an em... you know.. wife swapping thing for the evening but Des absolutely refuses and sends Les home.

The girls at Underworld are having their Christmas lunch, which isn't a lunch at all, just as many drinks as possible in as short a space of time as possible. (A bit like my Christmas lunch this coming Friday!) Anyway, they get quite merry and are in the Rovers when Angie and Mike Baldwin walk in. Ida Clough sidles up to Mike "I bet you've broken some hearts in your time Mike eh?" she croons. "Usually when I gave them their P45's" replies Mike. The girls go on from the Rovers to the Warwick Hotel to be served by that lovely barmaid, Liz McDonald. There's a band playing in the hotel and Ida recognises the lead singer as an old flame of hers from many years ago, but he snubs her and tries to chat up Janice Battersby instead. Anyway, Les comes in at this point when the singer (Jump Jackson of Jump Jackson and the Jive Five) and Janice are having a Christmas kiss (aka snog) and throws a punch at Mr Jump, misses him, and KO's the bar manager. The manager knows the girls are friends of Liz's and promptly sacks her on the spot. Ida gets revenge when Mr Jump's wig comes off in Les' hand and she makes Jump say "please" for the return of his hair piece.
