APRIL 14
Poor Roy. Not only is he missing Hayley but he's
got living with Becky to cope with. He's not best pleased when he
finds Becky entertaining one of the builders and the pair of them
are choo-choo-chooing around the living room to one of Roy's LPs,
the one that makes the sound of trains. That's steam trains and old
trains, locomotives from the golden age of railways, not last week's
National Express from York to London Kings Cross which features
highlights of sound effects including guttural grunts of “Oi! You're
in my seat. I've got this one booked, shift” and the squeals of the
passengers as the toilet door slides open (“eek” and “cheesus wept”)
while they're trying to balance above the loo seat somwhere between
Finsbury Park and Hertfordshire North. Becky apologises, but the
hurt's been done and the damage has been caused. Roy's also got a
bee in his bonnet about the bats on the building site (ooh, I love
alliteration). So that's bats, Becky, bacon barms, and builders to
bother him. Poor Roy. Tony Gordon talks Jason into smoking out the
bats before the woman from Natural England (aka the bat woman) calls
round. Jason does as he's told, worried that if bat girl finds bats
then the building site will close down and he'll be out of a job.
When Roy finds out what's gone on, he plans his revenge. First he
tries a sit-in on the site but he's carried up and away by Jason and
Bill. And when Becky finds out it was Jason who smoked out the bats,
she does the same to him with a cigarette in the café. Anyway,
Roy then gathers his troops around him and Becky and Kenny (as she's
taken to calling him) join ranks and head to the bat cave where they
unleash the bat mobile! Yes, the Morris Minor comes out of the
garage and Ken drives it to the building site egged on by Roy in the
passenger side and Becky in the back. As Ken steers it onto the
cobbles, Roy tells him where to park it. And when Tony Gordon finds
out that the Morris Minor is parked slap bang in front of the
building site so that the lorries can't get in, his face will be a
joy to behold. It might be a Morris Minor, but it'll give Tony
Gordon a Morris Maximum headache.
Over at the Rovers,
the smokers' shelter is finished and Liz has a celebratory fag and
announces it open. Married life with Vernon is starting to grate and
her head's being turned by Harry Mason the bookie, she just doesn't
know it yet although he's well aware of what he's up
to.
David was up in court this week and Gail was beside
herself with anger and rage as he pleaded guilty to all charges.
He's to be sentenced this coming Friday and I bet Blanche has bought
her bag of lemon bon-bons already. I know I have.
In the
bookies, Leanne's working behind the counter with Harry and Dan so
the staff outnumber the customers by three to one. And that's not
good odds for business. There's been another change of job
over at Jerry's kebab shop as Darryl told his dad he didn't want to
work there any more and a wanted sign went up in the window after
Darryl chucked in his apron.
And elsewhere this week, Sean
and Lauren planned their overseas jollies. I'm just hoping this is a
ploy for Lauren to go abroad and never come back.
All in
all, it's been a rather dull week on Corrie. Although the bat story
has been strong, there's not been much else going on. Hey-ho, it
happens, c'est la vie.
And that's just about that for this
week.
Coronation Street writers this week were Peter Whalley,
Stephen Bennett, Jayne Hollinson and Mark
Wadlow
