Author: Marianna MansonPublished 6th Nov 2018
This week on Corrie, Abi hits rock bottom after deciding the twins are better off without her, and Audrey goes viral for all the wrong reasons. But first, a catch-up on what's happening this week in Coronation Street.
Leanne Battersby tells Nick Tilsley how she was starting to believe they could have a future. But suspicious over Nick's evasiveness about his business commitments in Nottingham, Carla does some digging and discovers Nick co-owns a restaurant with a woman called Elsa.
Carla reveals she's off to Nottingham to check out his restaurant, Nick talks her out of it, promising to tell all. Nick says he did a mate a favour and for tax reasons, agreed to become joint partner with his mate's wife, Elsa. Nick calls Elsa, lying that his Mum is ill and he has to stay.
Nick tells Leanne he is committed to their relationship but he needs to go to Nottingham to tie up some loose ends.
The prisoners are impressed when Sally Metcalfe calls them together, revealing she intends to speak to the governor about arranging some recreational classes. At visiting time, Sally tells her family of her plans to stand up for their rights. When sister Gina Seddon points out her mayoral days are over, Sally takes offense and tells Gina she wants nothing more to do with her.
Gina's in a foul mood after her fall out with Sally. Over dinner, Dev Alahan flirts with Gina but he soon gets on her nerves. Realising they have nothing in common, Gina heads home where she cosies up next to Tim Metcalfe on the sofa with a box set. When the factory girls rib Gina, suggesting she and Tim are like an old married couple, Fiz Brown is alarmed to clock Gina's wistful look.
