Soapbox: who's Kelly got her eye on now?

Coronation Street. He doesn't like to make life easy for himself, our Steve.

Having finally escaped from the dragon's den by saying goodbye to Tracy, he shacks up with Ronnie.

All right, she is the former partner of a psychopath, she does flirt with Tracy's new fella whenever his back's turned and she has got a bloke's name - but, by the McDonald boy's standards, this is domestic bliss.

However, the couple have a blazing row and he goes off on his own.

Meanwhile, Kelly isn't impressed that Lloyd persuaded her to plead guilty for the crime she didn't commit and moves out of their flat. Can you see where this is going? Kelly goes out to drown her sorrows, bumps into Steve and he invites her back for a coffee.

Steve makes up with Ronnie the next day, but is feeling a bit guilty about what he's done - not least because Lloyd is his business partner and supposedly his mate.

But Ronnie has a more serious secret of her own. Following her row with Steve, she drives off in Streetcars taxi and - while trying to call him on her mobile - ploughs into an old man.

She panics and flees, only to discover that he is dead when she picks up the trusty Weatherfield Gazette the next day.

It all kicks off between Ashley and Matt when the court case for custody of Josh finally arrives. Matt claims Ashley isn't a good enough dad to the tot and instructs a welfare officer to assess his home life.

The pair square up to each other outside, with Matt saying this was all Ashley's fault, but disappointingly, it doesn't come to blows.

EastEnders. Billy and Honey's big day comes up and, of course, the wedding goes without a hitch.

Only joking - the bride pricks her fingers on her flowers and becomes convinced the wedding is cursed.

She might have a point, as the DJ pulls out, her hairdresser cancels and - oh, yes - she collapses outside her front door and has to be rushed to hospital.

She later gets the all-clear and, though it's too late for them to get married. But this is Albert Square and it's never too late for a bit of a gor-blimey knees up around the old Joanna with lashings of jellied eels.
