The big reveal came last night on Coronation Street. It was a moment I'd been waiting for, for a long time. No, it didn't involve a car crash. There were no explosions. No-one died. No celebrity joined in a cameo role.
It was the big reveal of the name of Tracy's flower shop, a subject that has had us on the end of our seats (or at least a blog post) for a few weeks. I've loved the suspense. If ITV can keep the name of Tracy's flower shop such a secret for such a long time, I do wish they'd do the same with the big spoilers too.
So, what do you think of Tracy's florist shop being called Preston's Petals?
The shop is sponsored by Interflora, in a deal worth a rumoured £1m for 12 months. Will Preston's Petals branch out and grow?
ITV have missed a trick, I feel, with Tracy's florist shop. The frontage of her shop last night proudly declared the website address of www.prestonspetals.co.uk. Click on it, go on. Nothing (yet?). Just an empty site with a domain name they must have paid for. Not even a link or a auto-bounce to itv.com/corrie.

It's more of Tracy's blatant attempts to manipulate people. Run, Robert!
I'm not pleased that product placement has reared its ugly head on the street. More blatant manipulation! This time...US!
