By eck, we saw Eccles this week! And while I don't
want to cast aspersions, because he's only a little dog and
everything, his reappearance did coincide with the Barlow's bathroom
being flooded. Had Eccles done a whoopsie in the WC and caused the
water to flood through the ceiling to the living room below? Ken
tried to catch the water in the kettle, panicked a bit and called
Roger the plumber while Deirdre and Eccles French-kissed. I only
wish I was making that last bit up. And that's not all. Blanche was
in the bathroom with a damp Jonny Weismuller by all accounts as Ken
grappled with his stopcock. Oh, it's been all go in that house this
week. When Roger the plumber sorts the pipes out, Deirdre and Ken
decide to go the whole hog and have a new bathroom installed. Roger
provides them with quotes, “I wandered lonely as a cloud,” that sort
of thing while Blanche makes bitter with the caustic remarks about
the disappointment in a cardigan that's her son-in-law and calls Ken
“the poor man's Melvyn Bragg.” Ooh, she's good is that Blanche (as
written by Martin Sterling).
There's more house horror as
Sally and Claire fall out over the house swap. Claire tells Norris
she thinks Sally's house is a slum (a slum!), news which Norris is
only too pleased to pass on to Mrs Webster and the next thing you
know, the house swap's off. Then it's back on after Ashley and Kevin
make a manly decision. Which is not bad considering the two fellas
didn't even know they wanted to move home this time last week.
Claire then decides they need to get an estate agent involved, a
couple called the Armstrongs come around and make all the right
noises about puttingi n an offer and then they flee in fear of the
latest calamity to befall the cobbles.
Yes, the latest
calamity to befall the cobbles came in the shape of Kenzie Judd, the
coolest boy in Chesney's year at school. Not only is Kenzie the
reason why Kayleigh Morton won't return Chesney's crush but he's
also the ringleader of a terrible trio who ransack the Kabin, knock
Norris to the floor and steal a hundred quid from the till. Norris
is in shock and is whisked to the Rovers by Emily and Rita where
he's not backward in coming forward about who's to blame for
society's ills. He reckons the fault lies in the parenting and pins
the blame firmly on Gail, Deirdre and Ken. Meanwhile, Kayleigh keeps
schutm about her mate Kenzie's raid on the Kabin.
Steve's not
best pleased with his mum for dallying with Harry the bookie and
over a game of darts in the pub, Steve and Dan throw insults at each
other and arrows at the board to puncture any possible relationship
between Dan's dad and Steve's mum. In an effort to make her marriage
work and remind herself that she's already get a fella, even if he
is off paradiddling on the high seas, Liz gets one of her wedding
pictures enlarged and framed. The photo's touched up, the
bloodstains taken off Vernon's wedding jacket, his teeth are
whitened, his hair darkened and Liz's wrinkles disappear in the
picture that now hangs on the wall in the back room of the pub. It's
such a scary sight that Steve takes to playing with bubble wrap to
calm himself down.
Harry's ex-missus Clarissa wants a new car
from Harry but he's not such a soft touch, just a tad squidgy and
agrees to one of the Streetcars drivers being at her beck and call
when she wants a lift around town. Steve complains to Harry that she
had Lloyd waiting outside the Trafford Centre for hours and that the
other drivers now call him Parker. “Yes, me lady,” says Lloyd when
Clarissa tells him to drive.
Now then, just when it looked
like Vera's cladding was coming down, it's seems like it's staying
put. This is news which fills Tyrone's heart with glee but Molly's
less than impressed. Oh, and Paul Clayton left this week. He
outstayed his welcome by about six months, according to, er,
me.
Over at Gail's house, we haven't seen her smile so much
since Brian was alive. First it was meeting up with her dad for the
first time that was making her happy and this week Gail met Tina's
dad who put a smile on her face too. Tina lost her job in the Pound
Shop this week but it was deathly boring anyway. As the girl said,
it's hard to keep the interest when you're forever answering
questions about how much things cost in a pound shop.
And
Leanne starts work as an estate agent selling off Tony Gordon's new
flats in Victoria Court. They're 20,000 square feet of luxurious
loft living, apparently, with a lovely view over the viaduct and if
you buy one on the east wing, you'll not be downwind of the stench
of kebabs.
And that's just about that for this
week.
Coronation Street writers this week Chris Fewtrell,
Peter Whalley, Mark Wadlow and Martin
Sterling.
