David (Jack P Shepherd) and Tina (Michelle Keegan) are stunned when they walk in on their respective mother and father - Gail (Helen Worth) and Joe (Reece Dinsdale) - in a passionate embrace on the sofa.

The pair kept their intimate liaisons a secret for fear that it would push David over the edge again. Will he be happy for the pair? Or will Tina vent enough anger for her and David together?

I must quickly mention the week of episodes (November 10 - 14) which feature these scenes. Aside from Liam's murder week, they're some of the best Corrie episodes I've seen in months. I can't remember the last time I laughed so much at five consecutive episodes. Obviously a soap can't be on top form every single week, but I've noticed a distinct improvement in the show's quality across the board. The answer? Kim Crowther, of course.

Craig Gazey portrays David's ex-cell mate Graeme Proctor to perfection. He's probably not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but he's a very promising character. I do worry he's a little too much like Kirk (Andy Whyment), though. From what I've heard, he's even meant to be going for a job at the butchers with Ashley (Steven Arnold).

I don't want to jinx the improvement, but I think Corrie may have turned the same corner as EastEnders did last year.
