Joe's funeral, 'Oaks kiss and E'dale court hearing

 |  By  |  3 comments
Joe McIntyre's funeral in Coronation Street is far from a quiet affair - mind, you wouldn't really expect anything less in soapland, would you?

Convinced that Gail's somehow responsible for her father's death, Tina bans her from the service. Eventually, she backs down and allows Gail to pay her final respects. At the church, though, Tina struggles to cope and opts to wait outside until the end.

Jason eventually convinces her to say goodbye to Joe properly but on her return inside, a fraught argument with Gail ensues.

Speaking to me last week, actress Michelle Keegan said: "Tina's in shock from beginning to end. She stands in the church looking at the coffin and can't quite believe that she's at her dad's funeral. She looks over to Gail and sees her singing and the whole situation just becomes too much for her and she runs out."

She continued: "Tina's supposed to do a eulogy but she runs out. When she goes back inside, Gail's reading her eulogy and Tina flips. In front of everyone, she accuses Gail of killing Joe."

David's about to rush to his mother's side but Jason ends up holding him back.

Meanwhile, after a busy day scamming Spencer, Lauren and Gaz finally get to spend some quality time together when she invites him back to the Valentines' for some afternoon delight. They finally manage to sleep together for the first time but their elation is marred by the arrival of Calvin, who walks in on the pair who are still half-naked.

Livid to see them in such an uncompromising position - and presuming that Gaz has taken advantage - Calvin throws Gaz out.

Meanwhile, Emmerdale's queen Dingle Lisa's left crushed (not literally) in a few weeks' time when she's sentenced to eight weeks' imprisonment following the ordeal with the police last month.

For those who can't remember, she punched an officer, before being arrested for assault and possession of stolen goods.

(She actually thought the police were trying to arrest Olena for being an illegal immigrant...)

How will the Dingles cope without her?

And finally, EastEnders' Lucy isn't impressed in the slightest when her father and stepmother Ian and Jane inform her that they've taken her out of school owing to her pregnancy.
