Coronation Street
We all love a bit of a will they/won't they saga in soapland but it does feel as though the Liam and Carla one in Corrie has been going on for ages.
Anyway, the good news (if you're not Liam's wife Maria) is that they finally get down to it this week.
It's been a tough few weeks for Liam following the death of his unborn baby and Carla has been only too happy to offer him a shoulder to cry on.
When Maria walks out on him this week, Liam's straight round to Carla's place and faster than you can say 'oh look, isn't that Rosie Webster filming you with a mobile phone?' the pair are snogging the face off each other.
But, as mentioned, they are spotted and Weatherfield wench Rosie, who works for Carla and Liam in the factory, now has some explosive blackmail material. Will she use it?
Elsewhere, Deirdre is dishing out the marital advice to Liz McDonald when it looks like the sassy landlady could be planning on placing more than a bet at the local bookies.
Now you may think Deirdre has a bit of a cheek - this is the woman who cheated on Ken with Dev after all! - but then again, Liz McDonald has been round the block herself a fair few times.
Liz has been flirting with local bookmaker Harry for weeks and when he confides in her about his ex-wife, it looks like the pair might take things further. Poor old Vernon, Liz's husband, is - literally - at sea, so will she be able to resist temptation?
Also this week, Audrey hears some shocking news about Ted, Tina asks Gail for a place to stay and Paul contemplates life beyond Weatherfield.

EastEnders
There's a shock for Roxy this week when she finds out that she is pregnant - but who is the baby's father?
Most woman would probably be delighted by the news but, since Roxy knows the father is either local psycho Sean Slater or her sister's on-off boyfriend Jack Branning, we'll understand if she isn't running off to Mothercare to buy baby booties.
Roxy only finds out the news after she faints during a lunch date with doctor Jamie - how convenient. When he hears this isn't the first time it has happened recently, he suggests she take a pregnancy test and Roxy's world is rocked by the results.
She decides to tell the rest of her family that the result has come back negative but how long can she keep this secret?
Meanwhile, Shirley and Heather land themselves in trouble after a night on the town ends up with them both being locked up.
The pair decide to forget their relationship woes with a glass of wine or six and are later arrested for indecent exposure!
Things take a sinister turn in the police cell when Heather panics and has an asthma attack. Shirley calls for help but the police think she is faking - will Heather get help in time?
Also this week, Pat tells Ian that Steven tried to kill her, Ricky admits he still has feelings for Bianca and Christian returns to Albert Square.
Emmerdale
Viewers of a nervous disposition look away now - there's a line-up of Viv Windsor lookalikes in Emmerdale this week!
Viv is still desperately trying to clear her name over the charity fraud, however, things aren't looking good when she thinks she has found conman Freddie and ends up attacking an innocent man in the street.
Her policewoman daughter Donna realises her mum's desperation and persuades her colleague Ross to do some investigating. Ross uncovers an empty house where there are a pile of letters addressed to Viv, however, when Viv hears this she can't wait for the police to take further action and persuades Bob to break in and get them.
Unlucky Bob is caught by the police, making things look even grimmer for Viv - and there is more bad news when she is identified from the police line-up as the person who banked the charity money.
With even Bob now starting to doubt her - will she be swapping her mini-skirts for a pair of prison dungarees?
Elsewhere, Jasmine continues her mission to help her former alcoholic boyfriend Miles on the road to recovery. This week she comes up with a cunning plan - he should launch a new career as a photographer.
So, does Miles go to nearby Hotton in the hope of snapping some ex-Big Brother contestants tumbling out of the nightclub? Not quite, his first job is to take some pictures at the village's crazy vegetable competition. Well, we're sure even David Bailey had to start somewhere!
Also this week, Paddy is angry over the court's verdict, Katie is upset when Johnny says he won't come to her engagement party and Diane finds a novel way to keep the Dingles happy.
