Coronation Street: Sunita's simpering levels reached new heights this week, with her sobbing to Sophie about what a muppet she was for discarding Dev for Karl. Cue Sophie informing Dev of this in a swift manner and setting up a bit of a blind date, during which Dev poured his heart out and Sunita said no. What happened to you Sunita? You used to be cool... Should've brought back Kieran McCarthy, clearly. Karl, meanwhile, was too consumed with redirecting Jason's leaky pipes in the Rovers to give a damn. He just couldn't wait to take his psychotic scheming to the next level, while Jason threw the toys out of the pram. He'll be setting fire to the place next… Gary stopped to give Ryan a hand and caught Katy in the back of the van. He actually managed to put two and two together, bringing to an end the shortest lived soap affair in history. And to think, poor Ches had only just popped the question. Elsewhere Gail started to get on Sally's bits after she reorganised some cupboards.

EastEnders: The Brannings are such a happy family eh? Kirsty was intent on getting a place of their own this week, and insisted that she and Max should make some sacrifices. She had some face on her when she spotted her fella handing cash over to his young wan for school supplies. Speaking of Abi, Max's domestic bliss was doubled when he was informed by wife number two that she'd been sneaking home in the middle of the night, and lost the rag with both Jay and Jack because, y'know, he can... In a strange take on Cinderella, Kim found Ian Beale's belt in the B and B and made it her mission to find out whose girth it belonged to. Elsewhere, Bianca got stuck in the usual predicament when she received a visit from the police. Things like that tend to happen when your son's helping his Ben Mitchell look-a-like mates to mug the local market inspector, while he's actually supposed to be in school. But her Liam's a good boy really, so he's obviously just being bullied... Cue off set visit to a council estate and now we're talking well 'ard.

Emmerdale: It was quite the week for horse meat jokes down in the Dales, but the less said about those the better eh? Oh, Katie, is there no end to your misery? One of her nags died this week after a misdiagnosis by Vanessa, who just so happened to have been having an oul drinky winky before she was called out to Home Farm to see to horse. On the upside, Katie decided she was going to sue, giving Paddy the chance to insist on the interim vet's resignation. That didn't go down too well with his missus though, and the rift between himself and Rhona continued to widen, until Vanessa locked them in the surgery. Elsewhere, Dan became the latest village dweller to discover Brenda's secret, leading to lots of hushed conversations which rattled the bejaysis out of Bob, who was left rather shocked when the truth finally emerged. Elsewhere Cain became increasingly concerned about Debbie's hardnosed behaviour. Apples, not falling far from trees, and so on.

Fair City: There was a lot of laughter in Fair City this week as Christy got rather cynical and aggro with just about everyone in the shop. Excuse us for laughing through most of it. In the end, Decco decided Sean was getting too close for comfort, so Eddie framed the young fella for the attack on the boss, and John Deegan (making annual appearance) took him away in the squad car, much to Niamh's horror. Over in Chez Fahy, Jo decided that despite making her husband's life hell and driving his bit of skirt away, she was totally entitled to the house. Cue any attempt at mediation going out the window, sure it wouldn't be a good soap without a bitter twisted custody battle now would it? Elsewhere Damien helped Ama out of yet another tight spot, Ray got schtuck into Vivienne and got the Bishop clan on the side, and Tommy and Judith's torrid storyline took another twist. Let's see, child in court, double adultery and now control issues? All they need is a good murder before they've run their course...
