the story so far... Kirsty is adjusting to life at Underworld and makes friends with Fiz, Sunita and Karl engage in legover activity, David is drowning his sorrows in lager, Paul takes Leslie out of the care home and Terry has new plans for Seventh Heaven which include accelerant and an open flame -- but Tina gets in the way and a scuffle ensues.
Karl doesn't like the way Stella is treating him and tells Steve. Steve supplies the mot juste for what Karl is experiencing. Let's consult the Coronation Street dictionary to see what it means...
