ANOTHER day in soap land, another affair exposed.

This time, it was Steve and Kelly who were rumbled (Coronation Street).

For Steve, it was a small price to pay for escaping a jail sentence, and for viewers it was a treat to watch scheming Ronnie finally get her comeuppance. All Kelly got out of the experience was dumped.

"I'd much rather stick pins in my eyes than drink with you," Lloyd said to her later.

Hmm, don't think they'll be reconciled any time soon then.

Meanwhile, Sean's dad was being held prisoner in his bedroom by his evil wife. Jamie doesn't trust Geordie Brian but then he's all bitter and twisted about fathers, being the offspring of wannabe cad Danny Baldwin.

Over in Hollyoaks, you knew that Tony and Mandy's relationship was all but over when the neurotic restaurant owner reminded his wife that everybody she gets close to meets an untimely death.

All I can say is watch out Tony! Surely there's nobody closer to Mandy than her own husband. Or maybe not...

Elsewhere, Jake continued to go off the rails. Last time I switched on he dragged the marital mattress into the street and set it alight. The boy's gone crazy, but who can blame him?
