WATCH out, Silly Sally and Gail the hamster are on the pull in Coronation Street (ITV1). It’s not quite the same as Janine and Whitney over in Walford the other night, but hey, girls just want to have fun and Sally deserves some after discovering about hubby Kevin’s affair and his secret son.

Sally and Gail put on their gladrags for a night on the town. Or what counts for a night out in Weatherfield – sitting in the bar of the Rovers Return, toying with a half of shandy and Betty’s hotpot.

It’s another dish that catches Sally’s eye. His name is Jeff and he looks good enough to eat, although she decides to let him take her to a restaurant instead. Sally even gets the chance to parade Jeff before Kevin to make him jealous.

Closer to the home – the Websters’ abode – Sally’s daughters are having a tough time. Sophie is beside herself when girlfriend Sian packs her backs and goes on holiday with her mother.

This upset can only put Sophie further behind at school where she’s struggling to keep up in her lessons.

Sister Rosie’s career, if you can call flaunting your body a career, isn’t going too well. Modelling isn’t quite what she expected. Her agent lines up a job in which she’s expected to take off her top (no, not her balaclava).

Mum Sally is furious and goes marching round to his office – only to find Jeff behind the desk (still wearing his top).

Romantic dilemmas for Aaron, not the only gay in the village, in Emmerdale (ITV1). Boyfriend Jackson – the one paralysed from the neck down and confined to a wheelchair – urges him to go out and enjoy himself, get a new chum and basically have a gay day.

Problem: Aaron still loves Jackson.

New boyfriend Flynn realises that the love that dare not speak its name is exceptionally quiet. What’s wrong? he asks Aaron, who’s too busy to reply because he’s busy pretending not to see Jackson arrive for a drink.

Kids, what would you do with them?

Bring back National Service, if you ask me, that would lick them into shape. Amy in Emmerdale is proving a trial for Eric and Val Pollard.

Eric doesn’t take to kindly to the teenager staying out late and getting caught snogging a boy. Val is more tolerant, possibly because she recalls doing exactly the same thing at that age. Well, any age actually.
