Now let's recap on what's happening this week.
Chemma (that's Chesney Brown and Emma Brooker, FYI) makes way for Chemma (Chesney and Gemma Winter) to blossom
Watching the two of them hug it out after Chesney stages an impressive rescue mission to get Gemma and her brother Paul Forman out of the back of a locked van, Emma decides to take a step back, and let the two of them be together. You can't fight true love, right? But as Gemma flaunts her conquest in front of Gemma, she can't be sure she's made the right choice.
As the date of Jenny Bradley's court date looms, she's copes (or rather, doesn't cope) by hitting the bottle and ordering everyone out of the pub. Liz McDonald is her surprising savior. But when the day rolls around, Liz is nowhere to be seen. Steve McDonald panics as the police put out a search for her.
Brian Packham and Cathy Matthews decide that they will by the Kabin. But they are certainly not prepared for Rita Tanner's reaction to the news.
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
