CATCH-UP - Head-Case(y)?

Everybody thinks Casey is Claire's imaginary friend. Or rather, she was Claire's imaginary friend, and now is her imaginary enemy.

It's been so long since we, the viewing public, publicly viewed Casey, that I'd begun to wonder whether she was real or not myself.

But today, we saw her! Peeping through the back gate of Peacock Towers in a menacing style. So she is real after all. But what does she want? And how will she get it? And will anyone be there to see her doing whatever it is she's going to do, or will they persist in thinking that Claire isn't quite right in t'head?

That other fruit-loop, David Platt, is continuing his quest to be the maddest, baddest character in Corrie since Alan Bradley ran in front of a Blackpool tram. In tonight's double episode (brought forward from Sunday because of the final of Britain's Got Talent - which is why they all persisted in thinking it was Father's Day even though it was only Friday), David told Jason he (David) was gay. And of course, since the fragrant Todd came out, Jason has been a bit sensitive about this issue, so he was only too eager to accept David's story. Of course it was all rubbish and just intended as a wind-up, and it worked a treat, but not as well as waiting till Jason was on Jerry's roof and then hiding his ladder. This both upset Jason, and led to Bill Webster sacking David - double result, as far as David's concerned.

In other news, Eileen has got a date with a man she's been phone-flirting with at t'cab office, much to the disappointment of Jerry, who is hankering after Milady Grimshaw's charms but failed to tell her in time.
