Poor Steve Macdonald in Corrie is not in a good place. He’s got daddy dearest, Jim, beating up his alky mate Peter Barlow, a dreary dead-end job at Street Cars and don’t even get us started on serial nag girlfriend Michelle.
Well, tonight Steve goes to the doctor to apparently get the mole on his arm checked out but there’s clearly something else worrying him. And it turns out he’s majorly stressed.
He tells the (ridiculously mute) doc that he finds it hard to sleep and constantly feels like he’s falling short. And the thing that makes him most anxious? Trying to beat his personal best at doing the airport run.
Yeah, we know it sounds like a big old joke, but check it out, it’s actually pretty sad.
Coronation Street is on tonight on ITV at 7.30pm and 8.30pm
