Soap Spoiler!!! Coronation Street
When Chris causes an accident at work that leaves Jason injured, Owen gives him a final warning. Chris responds by telling Owen to stick his job, and as his erratic behaviour continues, Maria tells him they're finished.
Elsewhere, David and Kylie spend their first day in charge of the salon creating havoc. When Gail heads round to Audrey's to tell her all about it she walks in to see her mother helping Marcia get all glammed up. Is Marc's secret finally out? Things get worse for Gail as her first shift at the bistro ends in disaster.
Determined to get her business back on the rails, Audrey packs David off on a residential business course - and Gail is horrified to find out that she will be left in the house with Kylie for two weeks.
Also on the street, Stella's attempts to build bridges with Leanne seem to be scuppered by Eva. Sophie if put out by the way Sian seems to enjoy Amber's company and Carla has some explaining to do when Frank quizzes her about her feelings for Peter.
Meanwhile, Julie, worried that her first date with Brian has not gone well, she fortifies herself with a few drinks before their second outing, but as she loses her inhibitions over dinner it looks as though she is about to blow it again.

Boy troubles at The Model Agency
There were tears and tantrums on last night's show as drama queen John returned to the agency following his hissy fit last week.
The commercial booker took a meeting with MD John, owner Carole's brother, to discuss why he walked out mid-shift. John said it was becaue Carole told him he had an attitude problem and shouted at him for ordering the wrong flowers. 'You're over-sensitive', says Chris. 'You need to cut Carole some slack, she's working from 9am-1am the following morning and is tired and grumpy.' John replied, 'Carole didn't congratulate me on meeting my sales target'. This is despite Chris having had taken him for a meal to say well done.
Chris tells him to get it together and John returns to work. Carole even takes him out for a drink, nothing like special treatment to wind everyone else up, and calm is restored, well as well as it could be. That is until a discussion about a charity ball in Liverpool turns sour and John tried to steal the limelight once again.
'I'm being undermined. I'm being outed and no-one helps me', cries John. Chris replied, 'Get a grip and listen. It's not about you, it's about Annette (the other commercial booker) stop crying.' He tells him it's not the end of the world, but clearly it is for John.
As Head of Men's Division Christophe says- life at the model agency is like a soap opera. It beats Eastenders anyday.

The Apprentice- Stella is hired
The right person won in the end, with Stella English piping Chris Bates to the post with her well branded bourbon drink. Although it was a close call, experience triumphed over youth and rightly so.
Both finalists stepped up their game in the last task on Sunday night which saw them create a new alcoholic drink targeted at men and women over 25-years-old. Joined by former contestants, minus ‘Stuart the brand Baggs’, Stella created a bourbon based drink mixed with honey and spices, while Chris’ team came up with a rum based pomegranate and vanilla drink named Prism, it’s unique selling point a pyramid-shaped bottle. But Chris’ downfall was the colour of his drink, chosen by team mates Liz and Shibby, a feminine rose pink. Sensible Stella stuck to bourbon’s natural colour in a tall, slim bottle. Although feedback was that the drink was too pungent and the bottle looked like a vinegar bottle.
However despite some negative comments, Sir Alan Sugar chose the candidate with 10 years business experience. 2011 looks set to be a Stella year for the mum of two.
