Of course we must be left hanging - the writers cannot satisfy the viewer so speedily, though it was worrying when Lewis said that after he'd paid Audrey back, he would have to go to pastures new and less complicated. 'It's over, she's done for us,' he states with what seems like finality - but no, it can't be. Whoever thought Lewis would be quite so vengeful? His final words to the wretched Gloria displayed no pity. 'You're an out of control buffoon.' Is that it then for Gloria? I know many will hope so. As the double episode finished, Gail was in Lewis' sights. What he has in store for the 'ringleader' as he has named her, time will tell. Watch out Gail!
The whole Lancashire Leisure pub of the year story was a bit tedious and predictable. So Gloria was outed and Lewis took advantage with his old mate Roger, chief features writer for The Gazette. Stella cried, the granddaughters looked suitably sad and so on.
Did others notice the love-lorn look of Marcus as Maria spoke to Jason on the phone? We're ready, writers! Bring on the Marcus/Maria affair. Might it be that Aiden will go to London and leave the opportunity open for Maria? As Aiden told Maria he could not imagine life without Marcus, Maria, wistfully agreed. But what about Jason? How many broken hearts will that be? Anyone keeping count?
And so to Wendy Crozier, 'a bitter woman with an axe to grind,' we must not dwell on the image Tracy conjured up of her 'heaving bosom'. Taking Rita along was a good idea, though to be likened to Angela Lansbury would not have pleased Rita. Tracy's comparison of Cagney and Lacey would have been better received. Interesting analysis of women of a certain age and how they are supposed to feel. Thankfully, not every woman feels the same and believes that married men are fair game.That said, many still feel young inside despite the appearance of the outer casing!
It was amusing to hear Wendy describe Ken as holding a torch for her, like the Statue of Liberty in a lambswool sweater. Good one Wendy. She tells him she can't bear the thought that he does not fancy her, but perhaps Ken was a little harsh when he told he it was worse than that and he didn't even like her. It looks too like she will do the right thing about her false claims concerning Ken and also resign from the governing body. But will she?

Is that the end of Sue Johnston in Corrie?
Sadly I dont think so Graeme, although it would make perfect sense for the dreadful woman to now depart. The character just has not worked.
How BIG are Lewis and Audrey's hair-dos, when they are on screen there is no room for anything else. Would give an 80's pop star a run for their money!
It's a shame as I really like Sue Johnston, and I know what a good actress she is, but even after all that last night, I still dislike her character and find her totally unsympathetic
Hahahaha!!! I totally appreciate the BIG hair comment! I was thinking that Lewis's hair was becoming rather out-of-control... and Audreh... well, she IS a hairdresser... she's not had a change to her coiffure for quite sometime... she IS the brand of her business so how come she doesn't change it up as does many of her fellow stylists... same with Maria... long-time and long-suffering senior stylists who's been patiently waiting in the wings for perhaps her opportunity for a bit of equity in the salon as reward for her "loyalty"...
Two bitches got their comeuppance last night! LOVED it!
Now zero in on Gail and let her have it with both barrels, Lewis! Interfering little witch.
As an aside - I've always said Audrey has THE worst hair for a salon owner. So out-of-date and messy!

Lewis staring wild-eyed, madder than a mad, mad, madder hatter, seemed well out of character as does his out of control hair mentioned above - which I've taken all-in-all as a sublimial nod to viewers that Lewis has indeed gone bad again, and Gail has been right all along about him, that he's pulling a scam.
- Although I'd prefer it if he wasn't - but that wild-eyed look in the cab could have been lifted straight out of the axe door-smashing scene from the horror film: The Shining.
No wonder Gloria looked horrified and urged the driver to get going quick - LOL!
I'd run my fingers through that beautiful hair on Lewis any day! Loved that scene with Gloria in the cab and Lewis giving her menacing looks and the cut-away to Gail - bring it on Lewis - though I do hope he hasn't gone back to the dark side :(
I keep waiting for someone to point out to righteously indignant Lewis that "turn-about is fair play" or "what's sauce for the goose...." or some such homily! Ye gods! He got a taste of his own medicine and look how bent out of shape it made him. That just screams "sociopath" and confirms Gail's suspicions. Unfortunately he's a practiced con-man and she's not, so Gail won't see his next plot unfolding.
I wonder what Lewis can do to humiliate Gail? She has so little in life to start with. Perhaps she will see the bottom of the canal yet again.
