On the Izzy subject, the other day she was moaning about Gary being useless as the evening before he forgot he was meant to take Jake to the cinema or something, but in the previous episode (therefore what should be the day before but who actually knows with Corrie timeliness these days...) Izzy was in the pub with a battered Sarah, and both Gary and Maria were sat at the bar. So:
A) why didn't Izzy say something to him then and
B) who was with Jake if they were all in the Rovers?
If you're gonna shoehorn Izzy into a scene just because she's still on the payroll, at least make it make sense lads.
