I was surprised that Gail was so agreeable/pleasant to the police. Has she forgotten that they locked her up for a murder she didn't commit?

Gail been made dimmer over recent years-

It looks like Callum's definitely dead then - unless someone helped him out and put another dead body in his place.

I was hoping Tony and Jason would concrete over the manhole before David got a chance to move the body. It should make for some great drama with him and Kylie having to live with the knowledge that Callum's rotting away under their house.

Maybe she was so pleased because he'd brought the good news that Callum was in trouble. He was very chipper about it himself! I thoroughly enjoyed the amusing but tense scene where he inspected the "annexe" and mentioned rats down the manhole.

I think we can breathe a sigh of relief that Tim was obviously horrified at the thought of sleeping with Anna...

The body of Coronation Street bad boy Callum Logan will be staying put at the Platt house in a Brookside-style storyline twist.

Callum's corpse was hidden in a manhole at the Platts' garage earlier this week, after he was killed by Kylie in the show's dramatic live episode.

Kylie, her husband David and sister-in-law Sarah were all involved in the grisly cover-up, intending to move the body as soon as possible.

David knew that dumping Callum's remains in the canal was their best move, but Friday's tense episodes saw his plans thwarted as Jason Grimshaw and Gary Windass poured concrete over the manhole while doing building work.

Jason and Gary have been working on a granny flat for Gail, so it looks like she could soon be sleeping over Callum's body while completely oblivious.

The plot is reminiscent of the classic Brookside storyline from 1993, which saw evil Trevor Jordache buried under the patio by his wife Mandy and daughter Beth.mBrookside fans waited two years to see Trevor dug up again, but whether Callum stays hidden for that long is anyone's guess.

Spoiler:

Channel 4's Hollyoaks will also soon be airing a similar storyline, as a body ends up being hidden in the city wall in the middle of the village.

The Trevor Jordache story was very good
and very creepy-but it seemed to go on
for ever. Whenever anyone was in kitchen
in dark evenings - the camera would pan
past them to give a lingering shot of the
back garden and patio - where he was buried

But back to Corrie-Im 99.9% convinced
Callum is dead and buried in manhole!
I expect Dazzle was most likely tongue
in cheek when she suggested someone
might have let him out and subbed another
body!!But I bet she given SWs food for thought
for future- especially after the concreting.
And the penchant for retcons!

You're right, I wasn't being serious! However, as you say, with the soap penchant for retcons nothing can be ruled out.

I am happy Lloyd and Steve got a goodbye
