Is Lewis still a cad and a conman?

Brilliant the way the story of Lewis and Audrey in Coronation Street is unfolding. What skilful writing, acting, directing and producing!

As I watch I'm trying to detect a look, a glance, a nervous gesture which will indicate whether or not Lewis's intentions towards Audrey are honourable or whether he's up to his old tricks and the money Audrey has made through tinting, perming, colouring, trimming and conditioning will all be lost. Surely Audrey will not be the 'no fool like an old fool' for a second time. We'll see...

Mary is one of the very best characters to appear in Coronation Street. It is her mix of old - fashioned clothing,her undercurrent of malevolence and her enduring passion for Norris that makes her so interesting. In addition, there's her competition entries, her weird and wonderful monologues and her wish to organise everyone that all adds to the marvel that is Mary. I would love to see a big story centred around her and some more of her back story.
