love a good bit of alliteration, and the Star's "seven days of seasonal scrapes" description of this coming Christmas on Corrie is a good one.

The Star has a few more details about the festive fisticuffs that we've already heard about. When Kevin finds out about Rosie and Mr Stape, he will "batter the love-rat teacher until he realises he is on the brink of killing him," apparently. We're not disposed to violence here at Corrieblog Towers, but I think we can all relate to Kevin's hatred of Stape and after a few sherries will probably be cheering him on.

The rest of the violence revolves around Jim McDonald. The moustache has gone, but the propensity to let his fists do the talking hasn't. The Star says that Jim will try to snog Liz and, when this fails, will "grapple with her." Vernon witnesses this grappling, leaps in to defend his fiancee and gets a "pummeling" for his trouble, as does best man Bob who tries to help him. Steve has to step in and calm things down. The Star's tame "insider" says, “When Jim grabs hold of Liz looking for a kiss, you can tell by looking at him that he’s a crazed beast about to snap.”

And then it's over to no 1 Coronation Street for carols round the tree with Ken, Deirdre and Blanche. (Ok, I made that last bit up).

Meanwhile, over on ITV.com...

Beverley Callard has been giving an insight into how Liz feels about Jim's return. "She wants him to stay away because she’s worried what he might do, but I think she’s also afraid of herself and her own feelings for him," she says. “Liz knows he’s not good for her but she also knows that they have spent 27 years together and she just can’t resist him. She finally gets used to the idea of him being back and when Jim turns up in the Rovers and seems much more placid and easygoing, they start to chat and there's just a chemistry between them that they can’t avoid.”

But what about Vernon? According to Bev, "Liz knows Vernon’s a bit of a wally, but he does truly love her and he’ll always be loyal, but she wants a bit more excitement. She actually says to Deirdre that she knows Vernon will look after her better than anyone else but she wants a bit of danger and spontaneity.”

Danger and spontaneity aren't words you'd associate with Vernon, it's true, but Liz had some D&S when she had her fling with Derek the Drayman, and she still came back to the dimbo drummer, so who knows where it will end?
