APRIL 20
“It were an accident!” yells Audrey when Saint Ted
the Tolerant asks her why she blurted to Peter Barlow about Ken's
fancy-piece. She was never one for keeping secrets, was Audrey. Of
course, now Peter knows, he makes Ken's life a misery and gets a
poke in at his dad's infidelity as often as he can. That Ken never
reminded his boy of his bigamy was big of him. Anyway, Ken's heart
might be by the barge but his jim-jams lie next to Deidre in bed and
he tries, well, sort of, to make amends with his missus although
it's clear that Martha's much on his mind.
Jack moans in the
Rovers to Betty that the love of life is with him no more. Betty
empathises that Vera's much missed but it's not his missus he's
missing, it's his best pigeon, Scarlett O'Hara. Well, they're not
called homing pigeons for nothing and it's not long before
Scarlett's safely back on the Street when a woman called Connie
finds it in her garden and brings it back to Jack. Connie and Jack
bond over pigeons and a cuppa and she puts a smile on his face, the
likes of which we haven't seen since he won the treble at the
bookies back in '89. They meet again for a drink in the Rovers and
as they part with happy smiles on their faces, Jack waves Connie off
with a friendly: “Ta-ra, lovey” as Betty watches on from behind the
bar with a face like a cat's behind.
Up in the flat in the
sky at Victoria Court there's a Brian Rix farce being acted out.
Doors open, doors close, secrets about Dev sleeping with Lisa while
Tara was away are revealed and all that's missing is a defrocked
vicar in Dev's kitchen. Now Tara knows what dirty Dev's
capable of, she doesn't decide to leave him but she does decide to
exact her revenge. She lulls him into thinking the pair of them are
booked in for a photoshoot to celebrate their coupledom but it's a
ploy to get Dev in noddy for some very personal snaps. He's great in
this scene, is Dev. He's coy, then shy, the loving the camera and
the attention and all the while, he's very, very nude with just the
camera lens to shield his exposure.
Theresa Morton's moved
back into the Street when Dev installs her in the flat above the
shop on the condition that Darryl moves out of Dev's flat and lives
with his own mum, instead of with Dev's daughter Amber. I'm not sure
about Theresa Morton, but willing to give her another chance and see
what pans out. She and Windass senior could be interesting to watch.
“Has Minnie chucked in her pinny?” she asks when Minnie walks out of
the kebab shop in disgust at Theresa working there. Not one to let
the grass grow, Theresa takes up the reins, puts on the pinny and
starts working in the shop alongside her son whose apron strings
match his mum's.
In the Rovers, Poppy and Betty are at odds
behind the bar. Poppy's all customer-focussed and service-oriented
while Betty just wants to sit down and put her feet up with a copy
of Chit Chat and a quarter of lemon creams.
At Underworld,
Maria finds out that Tony's got a private investigator looking into
Luke. She tells Tom who tells Luke who sacks Tony from the stitching
and bitching factory of life. He's not one to take the news well,
isn't Tony, and sure enough he threatens to take away 35% of
Underworld business in one fell swoop by moving the orders for his
catalogue corsetry elsewhere. Never mind, I'm sure Underworld will
survive, aren't they still stitching pants for the Belgian
Army?
And finally this week, Becky and Steve return from the
Maldives with presents for everyone, very orange tans and news that
Becky enjoyed it mainly because of the king-size bed, four feather
pillows and having Steve all to herself in the nicky-nacky-noo. I
didn't know that was in the Maldives, did you? But Steve's
post-holiday glow dimmers soon after he lands at Manchester airport
when he finds out that Tracy has asked to see little Amy in prison.
He dithers and doesn't know what to do for the best but finally
agrees to let Amy see her mum. Roy tells Becky not to get involved,
but with Becky, it's in one ear and out t'other and with nowt but
candy floss to muffle the noise in between.
And that's just
about that for this week.
Coronation Street writers this week
were David Lane, Jayne Hollinson and Debbie
Oates.
