Soapbox: Is romance in the air for Gail?

CORONATION STREET Frankie follows Leanne to a hotel and it looks like Danny's affair could be revealed. But Danny twigs she's on to them (not bad, considering he's as bright as a broken bulb!) and he and Leanne go their separate ways. When guilt gets the better of hard-faced Leanne, she cries all over Jamie.

But is romance in the air for Gail? She has a dinner date with a man called Keith. Knowing Gail's track record he could be a serial killer, a womaniser or a boring nurse, so she is - unsurprisingly - reserved and tells him she's not interested. Then gets a shock when he admits it's not her he's after, after all.

Meanwhile, Liz has been swotting up on current affairs for her date with Bob (maybe that will bring her dress sense into the 21st century) and when she meets his mum she impresses even less.

And Fred is considering sacking Shelley. About time too, even Margaret Thatcher knew she had to go in the end. But of course Bev steps in to persuade him otherwise (do try not to think about what she could potentially offer!), leaving Fred remembering what a great bar manager she was.

EMMERDALE Daz tells Debbie that he stabbed Jimmy and that Cain beat up Andy and that they started the fire - in the breathless way that he does, no doubt. Debbie confronts Cain so, of course, Cain hits Andy. It's exhausting!

Simple Simon sells his share of the restaurant and loses his fishmonger business because of his dozy mum. Metal Mickey, I mean Nicola, is none too pleased and the most unlikely coupling since Andy and Craig could be coming to an end. I wonder where in the Village he'll find work. Do the Kings need another secretary?

Meanwhile, Kelly (a young Viv) and Dawn (a demoralised Joss Stone) are fighting over Scott (a Neanderthal dimwit) and Alice is concerned about the closeness between Sadie and Sam. Come on, even Sam wouldn't be that desperate!

EASTENDERS The scriptwriters are looking to Shakespeare for inspiration. Demi and Leo are Romeo and Juliet, young lovers escaping their feuding families - by living in a squat in south London. Brings a tear t'your eye, doesn't it?

No? This will. Chrissie tells Sharon she can't find Den. A metal detector could spot the buckle on his belt; shall we have a whip around and send them one?
