MARIA EXPOSES GARY AND SARAH’S “AFFAIR” AS CORRIE DINNER PARTY TURNS INTO TOTAL CHAOS!!!

Is there anywhere to accuse your husband of cheating than a dinner party on Coronation Street? Not according to Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon). Are they serving popcorn? Because I’m here to watch.

The only thing on the menu is the truth, and Maria is serving up huge helpings when Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien) and Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) invite three of the suspects in Theo Silverton’s murder round for dinner.

Maria’s got good reason to be suspicious. Her hubbie Gary Windass (Mikey North) has been looking awfully pally-pally with his old flame Sarah. He’s also been very quick to defend her when Maria criticised her even slightly. Methinks the Gary doth protesteth too much…

And for good reason.Let’s put our detective hats on and go back to the night in question, when Theo was murdered…

Gary already looks pretty darn suspicious. He’s the only suspect who’s got a track record of bumping off people he doesn’t like, so as soon as he discovered that his bezzie mate Theo was an abusive bully, all bets were off…especially after he smashed up the villain’s van with a sledgehammer.

Intriguingly Maria stood by her man and gave DS Green a false alibi, even though he was caught onthe street in the back of one of Sally and Tim Metcalfe’s (Sally Dynevor and Joe Duttine) selfies during Swarla’s wedding.Kit is still very much convinced that Gary is hiding something…

It certainly seems that way. For an added twist, Kit just happens to be in a relationship with Sarah, Gary’s ex. The two former flames have been looking awfully cosy lately, possibly due to Sarah needing support after being brutally attacked from behind by Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances-Brown).

Gary does have a track record of cheating on his partner, and Sarah’s not exactly innocent in that department herself. A passionate affair between the two ex lovers would explain Gary’s lack of an alibi for that evening.

Whatever the reason, Maria is getting increasingly suspicious. Those suspicions are about to come spilling out in Coronation Street, during a dinner party to remember.

The episode begins in Kit and Sarah’s flat, with the wreckage of a dinner party gone bad. Broken glass, an up ended chair and a blood splattered table cloth. What happened here?

Earlier, Kit reminds Sarah about their date night and suggests they go food shopping at lunchtime. But when Kit receives a text from Sarah cancelling their lunchtime trip, Brody (Ryan Mulvey) teases him that Sarah’s had a better offer. Maria overhears and her mind whirrs…

As Sarah leaves the builders yard, Kit watches her with suspicion.

In the Rovers, Sarah invites Todd and Summer to join her and Kit for dinner. Kit’s heart sinks.

However when he then spots her whispering to Gary, Kit suggests Gary and Maria might like to join him, Sarah, Todd and Summer. Gary and Sarah freeze whilst Maria accepts his invitation. What does Kit have in store? Could this have something to do with his plans to propose to Sarah?

As Todd, Summer, Gary and Maria arrive for the dinner party tensions are high as old animosities bubble under. Maria aims some bitchy comments at Sarah, while Kit does his best to get Gary on his own, making pointed remarks about people’s propensity to lie.

With the dinner party in full flow, Kit serves up the main course, but as Maria raises a toast to the hosts, the sassy hairdresser brings tea to a dinner party as she drops the bombshell, accusing Gary and Sarah have been conducting an affair for weeks.

As everyone reels in shock, it looks like secrets and confessions are on the menu.

How will Gary and Sarah answer Maria’s allegation?
