Going wild

Unfortunately no one wants her there.

Her reappearance rather spoiled the prospect of a happy family reunion as daughter Debbie and ex-lover Cain discovered Charity at the altar about to marry Debbie’s boyfriend.

Not the circumstances in which you want to meet your mother four years after she walked out on you.

Anyway, Charity is back and already causing trouble for old adversary Jimmy. The girl can’t help it and before you can say “tickle my fancy” she’s flirting with Jimmy.

This doesn’t go down well with Jimmy’s fiancee Nicola. Soon the pair are fighting in the street.

Thank goodness for Cain, who breaks up the cat fight and takes Charity to the moors to cool down.

A bucket of water would work just as well and save on petrol.

An argument ensues, resulting in Cain dumping her in the middle of nowhere and telling her to make her own way home.

Jimmy’s having a bad day all round. Another Dingle, Chastity, is to be blame for another incident.

She’s run back to lover Carl after dumping Paddy the nice vet.

Her son and all-round bad boy Aaron is upset because he doesn’t like Carl, probably because he’s the tallest man in soap and he can’t bear looking up to people.

Aaron’s solution is to cut the brakes on Carl’s car. This is unfortunate for Jimmy who uses the vehicle to take Nicola and baby Angelica for a drive. Could it be the end of the road for them all?

Newlywed Fiz is having a horrible honeymoon in Coronation Street (ITV1), possibly because husband John is still behind bars (prison not the Rovers). He writes to Weatherfield residents asking if they mind him coming to live with Fiz when he gets out.

This sets Silly Sally in motion.

She’s never forgiven him for seducing her schoolgirl daughter and then kidnapping her and locking her in the attic for weeks on end.

Considering what a spiteful young lady Rosie has become some might say that’s the best thing that could happen.

Sally starts a campaign to stop John moving into the street. She organises a public meeting, presumably followed by a march along the cobbles carrying flaming torches and muttering “rhubarb”

like the villagers did in all those Hammer horror movies.

Feisty Fiz tells her neighbours what they can do with their anti- John campaign. Sally would do better to look in her own backyard for people misbehaving.

Little does she know that hubby Kevin the mechanic has been using his spanner on married Molly. On the pretext of running in a charity race in Scotland, the pair have taken themselves off to a posh hotel for a couple of days of bed and bonking.

Ashley would be jealous. Claire has slapped a sex ban on their marriage until he gets himself seen to and has the snip. The poor chap is all of a twitter and the sound of the new doorbell that Uncle Umed has bought for the corner shop drives him over the edge. A real ding-dong ensures between the two men.

As for EastEnders (BBC1) Stacey Slater is dragged away to hospital against her will. It’s called being sectioned. Poor bipolar Stacey has resisted getting help or taking medication and mum Jean realises that it’s time for something to be done.

Stacey is seeing things – namely a mystery girl who keeps appearing among the market stalls. They finally have to do something about her behaviour when she runs amok in the Vic, taking a broken bottle to evil Archie.
