APRIL 27
Remember that song, D.I.V.O.R.C.E.? Well, Steve
and Becky have to spell things out so as not to let little Amy know
that her M.U.M. is a M.U.R.D.E.R.E.R. "Sssh…" Steve tells
Becky as he covers Amy's ears to hide her from the truth. "Amy can
S.P.E.E.L. you know," which is clearly more than Steve can do but
was very funny all the same. Anyway, Becky blurts out the
truth to Amy and tells her that Tracy is banged up in prison and
when Steve finds out he's not best pleased. He throws Becky out of
the pub and she seeks solace with Roy in the caff but even he gives
her short shrift. But it doesn't take long for Steve to forgive and
forget and Becky's back in his good books and his bed.
Talking about being in bed, in the creepiest ultrasound scan
in the history of soaps, Tony accompanies Maria to th'ospital where
she's told she's having a lickle baby boy. Tony sits by Maria's side
as she's given the news and the murderer of Maria's dead husband
places his hand on the unborn bump inside her.
Talking about
Tony Gordon, has he met his match in Mr Luke Strong? The clue's in
the name after all. Corrie don't call a character Mr Strong for no
reason. Just as the Windasses are a bunch of big loses, Mr Strong
will save the day, just you mark my words. He sacks Tony from
Underworld but has to take him back on when Tony threatens to move
his catalogue business away. Tony's also threatening Tom to stay
away from Maria as he wants her and LadRags all to himself. Tom's
not got long left on the Street as he's leaving soon. That lad
always looks as if he's got a looped soundtrack going round in his
brain that's constantly playing the most depressing of the Smiths
and Morrissey songs, ever. Heaven knows, he's miserable now.
Talking about miserable, “What does misanthropic mean?” asks
Chesney of Fiz as he's doing his book learning from the comfort of
the sofa in front of GMTV. Fiz doesn't know so books an appointment
to see John in prison but she isn't allowed in as she forgets her
photo ID. She strops back home via a shop to buy Chesney a
dictionary and then returns to see John with a copy of Private Eye,
NewsWeek and Schoolgirls That Old Men Love.
Talking about
Schoolgirls That Old Men Love, the horrible truth about pervert
Colin being Julie Carp's dad emerged this week. Well, the truth
didn't so much emerge as vomit itself all over the Rovers. In one of
Coronation Street's most dramatic scenes in a long while, Paula Carp
turns up at Colin's 70th birthday party, drunk. Colin's
celebrating his birthday and gets down on one knee to propose to
Rita who accepts while Norris sulks. Word had reached Paula's
shell-like that her Julie and Jason had enjoyed a one night fling so
she storms into the Rovers to tell Julie that she can't continue
seeing Jason. “But why?” Julie demands to know of her mother who
lets rips and tells all and sundry that she was only 15 when she
gave birth to Julie having been made pregnant by Colin who was more
than double her age. Colin hangs his head in shame, Rita's wedding
plans fly out of the window, Eileen gasps, Julie cries, Betty and
Emily choke on their sweet sherry and Jason gets that puzzled look
on his face. The best line of the week goes to the ITV continuity
woman after the episode ended. “Do you think Jason got all of that,
then?” she asked.
Talking about being confused, over in the
cab office, the big debate of the day is being slugged out between
those two bastions of knowledge, Steve and Lloyd as they ruminate on
the merits of Joan Collins vs Lulu.
Talking about Lulu, Mary
gets into a boom-bang-a-bang-bang over her tumty: “Well, we call it
a tumty but it's really a pouffe,” she admits to Norris. It's where
she keeps all her travel mags, apparently, and she chats to Norris
as she polishes their motorhome, ready for their big trip around the
world. Norris isn't sure about this, you can tell. It's all gone too
fast for his liking and he's not sure he wants to go further with
any woman than Rosamund Streeet, except for Rita, a woman with whom
he's long desired to go all the way.
Talking about going out,
Tyrone's not too happy with Jack splashes on the All Spice to go on
a date with Connie Rathbone. Molly's all for this new woman in
Jack's life but Tyrone thinks Jack's being disloyal to Vera.
Meanwhile, Vera beams out from her photoframe on the sideboard. Dead
she may be, but she's still keeping her beady eye on
Jack.
And that's just about that for this
week.
Coronation Street writers this week were the powerhouse
that is Carmel Morgan, Jonathan Harvey and Lucy
Gannon.
