I dont think Gail goes to prison, i saw some pictures a couple of weeks ago of David throwing a phone into the canal to try and clear his mums name, to show she had no involvement in Joe's death =/

It'd be a weird friendship for Trace and Gail

Oh no.

So, Gail is going to be a widow again?

Yup, and apparently police think Gail killed him

Dev and Sunitas kids' friends have strange allergies... LOL

Coronation Street's forthcoming child disappearance plot "bears absolutely no resemblance" to the Madeleine McCann tragedy three years ago, a show source has confirmed to Digital Spy.

Earlier today, it emerged that Peter Barlow's (Chris Gascoyne) 6-year-old son Simon, played by Alex Bain, will go missing in Blackpool later this year, sparking fears that he has been snatched.

The incident will occur when Simon's grandfather George (Anthony Valentine) takes him on holiday to the seaside resort after becoming convinced that his alcoholic father Peter is an unfit parent.

However, while taking a stroll on Blackpool promenade, George and his wife Eve (Sabina Franklyn) take their eyes off Simon for a short amount of time and soon discover that he has vanished. Police are then called to investigate the matter.

A tabloid newspaper today compared the storyline to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, who vanished from a holiday apartment in the Portuguese resort of Praia da Luz in May 2007 while her parents dined at a nearby restaurant.

However, a Coronation Street source this morning told DS: "The upcoming Barlow story bears no resemblance whatsoever to the Madeleine McCann tragedy three years ago.

"The viewer will see Simon walk off on his own and there is a big search for him which is obviously distressing for his family - but the situation is resolved quite quickly."

At the time of the McCann incident, producers at the ITV soap took the decision to drop its baby abduction plot, which would have seen Freddie Peacock snatched from the family home by Claire and Ashley's mentally unstable friend Casey Carswell.

Following a review, show bosses rewrote and re-filmed some aspects of the story in order not to distress the McCann family. The resulting rewrite saw baby Freddie go missing following a fire at the Peacocks' and later turn up at the local park.

The Weatherfield source added: "It was the right decision three years ago not to run with the Peacock storyline because it was so similar to those events in Portugal."

Several weeks after Madeleine's disappearance, BBC soap EastEnders decided to pull its baby abduction story, opting to "substantially rewrite" and re-film the climax to the penultimate chapter of Dawn Swann and Dr May Wright's story.

The plot would have seen May run off with Dawn's baby shortly after her birth. Instead, May tried and failed to persuade Dawn to hand over the newborn before being arrested and ultimately sectioned.

Coronation Street's disgraced resident John Stape is to secure a new teaching position in a forthcoming storyline, it has been revealed.

The ex-convict, played by actor Graeme Hawley, will start working at an adult education centre as part of his plans to build a new life with wife Fiz (Jennie McAlpine).

Former school teacher John has a criminal record after serving time behind bars last year for abducting his student lover Rosie Webster (Helen Flanagan).

It is thought that Fiz tries to stop her husband from pursuing the teaching post, but eventually decides not to interfere after he tells her that it could be their chance for a "fresh start".

A Weatherfield source told The Sun: "We know that John returning to teaching and the fact the college may not check him out properly will cause a lot of controversy with our viewers.

"But in true Corrie tradition John's job and whether he pursues it for long will be one of our great slow-burning storylines."

Sounds an alright storyline :)
