We've been promised a week to remember from Coronation Street, as it slots nicely in between Britain's Got Talent at 9pm each night.
So far, it's been a slow burner, but the heat steps up a gear tonight.
I'm not saying it's been a slow burner in a bad way, and anyone who thinks it's best to jump straight into the action can't understand the meaning of anticipation... We know what's coming, and tonight it comes.
We've also been promised surprises, twists and turns from Fire Week, with the rumour that not everyone makes it out alive.
Tracy, being Tracy, want's revenge. I loved the ode to the past last night, as she contemplated hitting Carla over the head, just as she killed her ex, Charlie. Unbeknownst to Trace, her daughter, Amy, is staying with Carla. Anyone else know why Liz asked Carla to have her granddaughter for the night, instead of just asking Ken or Tracey? A way to get Amy in danger, I guess...
While everything came to a head in the Rovers - Liz leaving Tony a voicemail telling him she knew about his affair with Tracey and the plot to rob the pub from under her nose, Kal about to propose to Leanne but forgetting the all important ring and heading back to the flats, and Maddie and Sophie planning a holiday and their future together in a new home.
Clues to those in danger maybe?
As Tracey was disturbed by a toilet flushing, and not realising her daughter was Carla's overnight guest, she carelessly left a burning candle underneath a table lamp. It began to catch fire, and we wer left to await tonight's action.
A preview clip shows Leanne desperately trying to get into a flat, knowing Kal is there as the fire takes hold. We see her in an embrace with him, and Amy, as the flames spread.
My guess is that it won't be a happy ending for either Leanne or maybe Sophie, as two characters known to be leaving are Kal and Maddie.
Will Kal stay back to save Carla and perish?
Maddie is also the sort of character who would risk her life to help someone; look how she was during the bus crash...
If Kal is killed, or left severely injured, it'll have a rippling affect on his family. Especially his son, Zeedan, who has only just given his blessing to his dad's relationship with Leanne. Having lost their mother as children, and now their father in mortal danger, what will come of the Nasir family, next?
The fire is also set to be the start of some harrowing plots for the Street residents. We know that Simon is set to turn violent against his mum, Leanne. Could the consequences of this week begin the spiral?
Kevin Webster also has a drama of his own, thanks to crazy lady Jenny, who's about to run off with his son, Jack.
Rumour has it that Jenny will end up on the top of a building, threatening to jump with the youngster. Maybe, if Maddie doesn't get involved with the fire, she will try to be hero here, with tragic consequences?
This has been an interesting story, as it's creeped slowly upon the Websters. Sophie has never felt comfortable about Jenny, and they will soon realise why.
Having lost a son of her own, Jenny has only been clinging to Kevin, to get to Jack, who's challenging Simon Barlow for the most drama had in a young life. (Apart from Hollyoaks' Tom Cunningham, he always wins hands down!)
Lastly, maybe this will be Tracy's turning point, too? Her actions could cost her daughter's life. Enough to make her change? Only time will tell. But I'd imagine the Barlow's come out of this pretty unscathed, as they're soon to take centre stage as Corrie say goodbye to Deidre, after Anne Kirkbride's death at the beginning of the year.
Things are never going to be the same on Coronation Street again...
