Ever since Coronation Street fans discovered that Liz and Jim McDonald's stillborn daughter was returning - having supposedly not died after all - skepticism has been RIFE. And in last night's episode, suspicions were confirmed as he proceeded to SNOG 'Katie' in his car.

After finding her, Jim introduced Liz to their daughter on Monday's episode (10th Sept), telling her that she'd not died after all, and had been adopted by Australian parents - despite Liz being told that her baby, who she'd called Katie, had died minutes after being born.

However, after the emotional reunion, Jim and 'Katie' got into a car where Jim joked that she'd been a "good daughter," as she replied, "Don't call me that, you know I'm neither," before they leapt at each other for a VERY steamy smooch.

Viewers were gobsmacked by the apparently incestuous relationship, but it was later revealed that Katie was posing as their deceased daughter in a bid to con poor Liz out of her savings - Jim's plan of revenge after Liz and Steve didn't help him get out of prison.

Imran's double date

Toyah and Leanne both arrange a night out with Imran, unaware that he's seeing them both. Adam knows that Imran should make a decision about the sisters, so does the sensible thing and advises him to make a pros and cons list of the women to help him decide. What, you are wondering, could possibly go wrong with such a foolproof plan?

Somehow, SOMEHOW, Imran gets caught out

Sally finds a list of names that Imran dropped in the cafe (seriously, Imran and his bloody lists (doesn't he know about iPhone notes)) so she goes to the solicitors' office to return it. There, she overhears Adam advising Imran that he can't keep sleeping with both sisters, and Imran saying he's lost a list of witnesses for Duncan's case - the list Sally happened to find earlier. What is she to do with her new information? Enter: Power Sally. She decides to tell the sisters the truth and they teach Imran a lesson by going along with it. They all go for lunch and the champagne flows as the sisters promise Imran the night of his life - the big fool.

Imran comes back to Earth

When the shoe is on the other foot and Imran finds a pros and cons list about him (made by Leanne and Toyah), he takes his anger out on Leanne and fires her. This, though, doesn't last long, as Adam tells Imran to give Leanne her job back because the filing system is in a state. Imran, Toyah and Leanne meet in the bistro, with the sisters forcing Imran to apologise for what he did. But, of course, it isn't all plain sailing as Leanne can't help but notice the way that Toyah looks at Imran - perhaps there are feelings there still...

Nervous for her pretrial hearing, Sally goes in search of Sophie at no.13, but walks in on her and Paula together. She calls one of the witnesses on Imran's list that she found earlier. Paula tells her that she can get in serious trouble for it, and Sally promptly sacks her for chiming in. Just to put the cherry on the cake, she also tells Sophie that she doesn't want her in court either. Tim, naturally, is very worried.

Honest work for Ronan's son

Ronan, Drug Dealer Ronan, corners Adam and explains that his son is coming out of Youth Offenders soon and he needs to find a job. Now when a drug dealer corners you like that you usually do what he wants, so Adam manages to persuade Michelle to give Ronan's son, Cormac, a job washing up at the Bistro.What could go wrong?

Fans of the show were obviously shocked - not only at the fact that Jim was enjoying a secret relationship with a woman who was pretending to be his daughter, but also for exploiting Liz's devastating loss years earlier.

Beverley Callard, who has played the character of Liz on the cobbles for almost 30 years, was commended for her performance in 1992 after their baby was born prematurely and died soon after, as storylines around baby loss had rarely been covered on a soap before then.

Viewers took to Twitter to share their disbelief at Jim's actions:
