Gail Platt vs. Katy Armstrong: the Coronation Street job interview

please note this post makes reference to the May 28 episode on CBC

It looks like Gail and Katy were vying for the coveted job of receptionist at the V Court Gym. Although Sharif and Dev conducted interviews with the two candidates, I wonder if they asked the tough questions - you know the kind of questions they always ask at job interviews like...

1. Why do you want this job?
Katy: to make some dosh because our family is skint thanks to that dastardly Phelan.
Gail:  to be close to my Nicky during his training at the gym so I can interfere with his workouts if I think Kal is pushing him too hard. 

2. What are your weaknesses?
Katy: attractive men
Gail: nutbar husbands, excessive mithering, interfering in Nick’s life, forgiving David every time he goes off his nut, having it off with my mother's bounder boyfriend 

3. What are your strengths?
Katy: young, energetic, hardworking.
Gail: nutbar husbands, excessive mithering, interfering in Nick’s life, forgiving David every time he goes off his nut, having it off with my mother's bounder boyfriend.

4. Describe a situation in which you used initiative?
Katy: generating a fake invoice for my Dad when Phelan accused him of stealing tiles from the worksite.
Gail: breaking into the clinic’s computer system to check the medical records of Nicky’s fiancĂ©e (Natasha), spending time in jail on suspicion of murder and dealing with my cellmate: Tracy Barlow.

5. Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?
Katy: clubbing, wearing sexy outfits at the Bistro, taking baby Joseph to Bessie Street school.
Gail: looking after darling Nicky, forgiving David for trying to kill me again, marrying a certified psycho – you know, the usual.
