Dates and divorces: Coronation Street recap ? March 17 through 21

Last week we saw Sophie take a drunken fall off the church roof after she became paranoid of Sian leaving her, Kevin and Sally got a strict talking to from Sian about having not paid attention to Sophie through all their fighting or it wouldn’t have ended up with Sophie in hospital, and Sally and Kevin are back fighting after Kevin misread signals and kissed Sally. Wow, as if that weren’t enough drama for one family: let’s see what’s happened to our little lesBians this week...

17th March
Sophie arrives home from the hospital and Kevin runs over from the garage to see her, but Sally can’t get her inside quick enough to avoid him. Once inside, Sophie’s on the couch and Sally’s fussing over her. Sophie tells her mum to go to work and not to worry about her. Sophie reminds her that Sian will be there to get her anything she needs. I think the phrase “personal slave” even comes out of Sophie’s mouth in relation to her girlfriend.



Later, Jeff arrives to see how Sophie is and to ask Sally if she needs any help with anything. Sophie suggests he take her out for a drink, but Sally declines him saying she has to keep an eye on Sophie, but Sophie tells her to go. Sally asks if she’s sure and she tells her mum that Sian’s upstairs if she needs anything, and reminds her mum that she’s not dying! Sally eventually caves and goes to change her top before going out with Jeff.

18th March
Sally is power-dressed leaving the house in the morning and when Sophie tells her she looks smart, she tells her daughter she’s meeting a solicitor later about the divorce. Kevin calls round later to see how Sophie is and she tells him the college are letting Sian study at home while Sophie recovers. She asks her dad if he’s going to the appointment later with Sally, but he looks puzzled when she mentions it. After she explains it’s with a solicitor about the divorce he seems taken aback, but knows he can’t kick off in front of her.

When Sally heads home later that day, Kevin catches up with her and asks her about the solicitors. She said that before the divorce goes through they have to decide who gets what, so he better organise something with his solicitor.

Sian asks Sophie if she’s really ok with the divorce, and she says yes. Sian says that she’s glad to have Sophie back, and comments that the fall finally knocked some sense into her girlfriend. Sophie then says that it could be called a miracle, but Sian doesn’t want to believe that Sophie’s survival was down to God after all the hurt they have both suffered from their belief while coming out. She asks Sophie if she really believes that God saved her from the fall, and Sophie jokes that gravity helped with the fall... He just chipped in with the landing. The pair laughs and Sian leans over and kisses the tip of Sophie’s nose.



21st March
Sophie and Sian are settling down to watch TV with bowls of crisps or popcorn or other similar yummy salty snacks, when Jeff arrives. Sian shouts up the stairs to Sally that he’s there, while he and Sophie make small talk about how she is doing after the fall... and to stay away from roofs in future. Sally comes down the stairs and tells them she’s away. As they leave, Sophie shouts “bye Jeff”, while Sian shouts the same in a younger more child-like voice to poke fun at Sophie.

Looks like Sophie’s back to her old self again, thankfully. The Random Rosie Diva Bitch personality really didn’t suit her... just made me think she needed a good slap to wake up. Now that the divorce proceedings are starting between her parents, I wonder how well she’ll handle them and how it’ll affect her relationship with Sian. Check back next time to find out.
