We went to the heart, or the stomach, of Coronation Street in Monday night's episode as the hour-long episode began with a tale of two breakfasts. PC Craig Tinker took time out from being a bent copper to make fiancee Faye Windass breakfast 'à la Craigy' - tomato, bacon, scrambled egg 'with a secret ingredient.'
It seems the secret ingredient was guilt as Faye - worried sick that her policeman partner would spill on her part in a hit and run accident involving a pensioner who later died - couldn't face sitting down to eat with Craig after he had implied that he was blackmailing her into staying with him over starting a new life with her ex Jackson Hodge and daughter Miley.
Meanwhile, over at Billy Mayhew and Paul Foreman's flat, it was a happier breakfast scene as the loved-up couple hungrily tucked into their breakfast of eggs while exchanging innuendo. But beneath the picture of domestic bliss, Paul is still hiding the devastating secret from his loved-ones that he's living with motor neurone disease.
