When Rob James-Collier accepted the award for
Sexiest Male at the British Soap Awards t'other week, he let it be
known to the viewers that he wants to be recognised for His Acting,
rather than for being just a pretty face. And indeed there is more
to him, of course. That's why the first four words in my notebook
this week were these: Liam in his pants. Anyway, Liam in his
pants, his trousers and his jumper registered the death of baby Paul
with Maria this week. Maria's hoping to try again with Liam but Liam
had other things on his mind after he got jiggy with Carla last
week. As Liam kissed Carla on the doormat the morning after the
night before, Rosie Webster filmed the kiss on her phone. Carla
reckons she knew what Rosie was up to and tries to buy her silence
with a great big, fat handbag. It keeps Rosie quiet, for now. But
Carla will need more than handbags and glad rags to keep the smile
on her face after Liam told her he was going back to Maria. With
their cases packed and Ozzy the dog bundled into the back of the
car, they set off on their jollies leaving Carla on the cobbles and
the evidence of Carla's kiss inside Rosie's fobile moan.
Gail
had the biggest smile and one of the best storylines this week as
she got to know more about her long lost dad. He's slotted in so
well onto the Street, it feels like Ted Paige has been a part of the
cobbles forever, like an old rover's returned. And just when it's
getting cosy and Gail's happy, Ted's happy and Tina's moved into
David's spare room, Gail goes and spoils it all by inviting Ted to
visit David in the big house. David meets his gay granddad and both
men seem pleased to make th'acquaintance of t'other but after the
visit, Ted makes his excuses and leaves Gail and the Street just as
Audrey was honing in like a cruise missile for a bit of attention
from Ted.
Along the street, Fiz is having problems trying not
to knock ten bells out of Kirk's annoyingly chirpy girlfriend, Julie
Carp. Julie just wants to help, bless her, but helping Chesney and
looking after Kirkeh has been such a big part of Fiz's life for the
last few years that she's not going to give it up easy. And customer
services manager Julie “babe slash career woman slash people person”
Carp reckons Fiz is just jealous of her and her Kirkeh.
In
the pub, Deirdre quizzes Liz about her intentions towards Harry,
pointing out that Betty seems to think there's summat going on
between the pair of ‘em. “Ah, that's just Betty,” muses Liz. “She's
always does put two and two together - and meks hot pot.” But there
is no denying a definite spark between the bookie and the barmaid
and Liz gets dolled up to the nines when Harry offers her his beef
dish in the flat. All 50 years of Liz McDonald wobbled over the
cobbles to Harry's flat on high heels, with her skirt up to there
and her top down to there, she rings the door bell and then runs
away. As Liz walks back into the pub with her bits out all over the
place, Lloyd's having a smoke in the back yard of the pub and can't
quite believe his eyes when Liz's flesh flashes past. She covers
herself up and heads back to Harry's, this time enjoying his company
and eats his beef dish but pulls away when he draws in for a
kiss. Meanwhile, Harry's soon to be ex-wife Clarissa turned up on
the Street demanding more cash in their divorce settlement. She's a
red head in a red dress which is never a good sign, and Harry would
be wise to think on and pay heed.
Also in the pub, Michelle
wasn't best pleased to return from Ireland to find Leanne in her
nighty working behind the bar. The two women glare at each other,
they try to ignore each other until finally they call a truce. Steve
watches it all, bemused, wearing that face that he does.
At
the Duckie's, Jack agrees with Molly that Vera's blue and yellow
cladding should come down off the front of the house, although
Tyrone tries to keep it. They get a man in who gives them a price
for taking the cladding off. It's the end of an era, it really is.
There's moving malarkey between the Websters' and the
Peacocks' as Claire demands more cash from Sally and Kev for the
house sale. A deal is made then broken when Sally gets the survey
report on Claire's house which says there's more to pay if the
conservatory's got subsidence. Sally and Claire have a right
argy-bargy. “If is a very big word,” argues Claire. “It's not as big
as Subsidence” gloats Sally.
And finally this week, Becky and
Jason make a night of it with cheap cider and pizza in her room at
Roy's flat. Roy's confused by it all and tries to talk to Jason,
who's almost (but not quite) as confused as Roy about the boat he's
in with Becky. Bless him, Roy had been out to an evening of amateur
footage of Gresley A4 Pacifics. Not sure what they are? Me neither,
but there's a picture on the blog, if you'd like to have a little
look.
And that's just about that for this
week.
Coronation Street writers this week were Stephen
Bennett, Carmel Morgan, Jan McVerry, Martin Allen and Mark
Burt.
