Oh dear! Hope theres an improvement
in the acting this time! Probably give
Rita turn on the storyline rota!
Perhaps if theres a battle over
Kevin- Erica can resume her Kim persona
and sort Jenny.
I thought SB had proclaimed that if/ when
Jenny returned she would revert to
her orginal self. So more tantrumy teenager!
Coronation Street will revisit the possible romantic spark between Kevin Webster and Anna Windass this Christmas.
Fans noticed a chemistry between the pair when they both attended Sally and Tim's wedding at the Bistro a few weeks ago.
The two singletons will be thrown back into each other's orbits over the festive period when they both end up at the same Christmas dinner.
Sally and Tim will decide to invite Kevin, Sophie, Anna and Faye over to their first Christmas as a married couple, but viewers will have to tune in to find out whether Kevin and Anna start to be brought together during the feel-good festivities.
Kevin (Michael Le Vell) has been single since his girlfriend Jenny Bradley suffered a breakdown in the summer, while Anna has also been on her own since Owen Armstrong left the Street.
The plot will be one of many airing on Coronation Street at Christmas. Show bosses have already teased that Tyrone Dobbs and Fiz Stape will be ones to watch as they aim to give unwell Hope her best ever Christmas.
The Platt family will also be heavily involved as they try to put their traumatic year behind them, while Tracy Barlow is expected to be at the centre of the action too with a big storyline linked in with the return of Rob Donovan.

Coronation Street star Michael Le Vell lands new £150,000 deal after beating booze demons
Michael Le Vell will have a very Happy New Year – after landing a new £150,000 Corrie contract and a host of new storylines on the soap.
Michael, who hit the headlines last weekend for being spotted drinking, has better news from Weatherfield where he is now tied up until the end of 2016.
Since returning to the show in September 2014, after a stint in rehab, he has become one of its most hard-working and popular performers.
Last year he appeared in 100 episodes and scriptwriters have been working on a number of exciting new storylines for the soap stalwart.
Bosses are delighted at how he has turned his life around since his well-publicised battle with booze. At one point he admitted downing 12 pints a night.
But he has now been sober for almost two years and despite slipping off the wagon at a New Year party, when he was spotted with a lager, there are no fears he is about to return to his old habits.
A source revealed: “Michael was over-the-moon to be told he would be getting a new deal. No one is ever safe in soaps but the bosses have been impressed with his professionalism in tackling his problems head-on and dealing with them.
“He really does now feel that the worst of his problems are behind him. Sure, he had a drink to toast New Year but there is no way he will return to the bad old days. He knows he has too much to lose.”
Michael, 51, has signed a new 12 month deal that will see him remain on the Weatherfield cobbles until at least the end of the year.
Like most of the big name stars on the show, he is on a rolling contract, which means his future is only secure for a year at a time.
But sources say 2016 will be a busy year on-screen for his character Kevin Webster, who will open a new garage, his ex-Jenny Bradley will return and his relationship with Anna Windass will return.
Michael took time out from Corrie to fight sex abuse allegations in 2013 and after being cleared of all charges he briefly returned to the soap in March 2014.
But he took a second break after admitting cocaine use and sought help for his addictions, before returning in September 2014 and once again made car mechanic Kevin Webster a major character on the Street.
He first appeared in the soap in 1983 and is now ninth in the list of all time appearances in the show.
Top of the pile is Bill Roache, who has been playing Ken Barlow since 1960.

150k a year is not a lot for a key character
Get ready to see another 365 days' worth of Kevin Webster because Michael Le Vell has signed a fresh contract with Coronation Street.
Corrie's resident mechanic has landed a new one-year contract with the soap, according to The Sun.
Kevin Webster first arrived on Coronation Street in 1983 and has largely been in the soap ever since.
Le Vell took a break from the cobbles in 2014 after admitting to taking cocaine and seeking professional help for personal issues, but returned the same year.
The actor also left Coronation Street for almost a year while he fought 12 sex offence charges, but returned to the soap after being found not guilty of all charges in September 2013.
Earlier this summer, Le Vell rubbished claims that the cobbles were in uproar about the move to six episodes a week.
"I was here when we worked every Sunday, so it doesn't faze me at all," he said at the time.
"Joe [Duttine aka Tim Metcalfe] and I are both supportive of the idea. It means storylines will be played out longer, involve more characters and evolve naturally.
"It means more jobs for crew and more actors *coming into the show. Production are also going to be building new sets."

Good news!!
There’s panic in store for Kevin Webster as he gets bad news about his daughter Sophie in Coronation Street. Sophie recently headed to Miami to stay with her sister Rosie, with Brooke Vincent taking a three month break to star in Be My Baby.
But even when she is off screen, she is causing drama on the cobbles as Kevin discovers that she has had to have her appendix removed while in the US and has run up a massive medical bill in the process.
And of course, with Sophie not having the funds to pay this off, it look like it may be down to Kevin to raise the cash.
But will he be able to?

Could Kevin start the fire himself at the garage?
