Chesney acts
out his angst about his sister and Stape when he finds Fiz’s
engagement ring. He nicks Rosie
Webster’s new sport scar and
lurches around on the cobbles trying to contain the monster on
wheels. I’m much the
same with the shopping trollies at Morrisons. Anna Windass comes to his rescue when he almost runs
her down, she gives him good advice when she finds out he’s robbed
Rosie’s car. “Get out, wipe
your prints off and leg it.” But he’s left
Fiz’s engagement ring in the car when he legs it and Rosie finds the
ring when she’s cleaning the car. Note to self:
must buy high heels, short
shorts and a blouse
that unbuttons down to there next time I’m cleaning the
car. Second note to
self: also buy a car. Anyway, Rosie gives the ring
to Sally, telling her it’s an expensive gift she’s bought
for her mum and
the factory girls go
‘aah’ as they see Sally enthralled and
then ‘oooh’ when they see her humiliated
as Fiz nicks the ring back. And that’s
when the Stape hit the fan as the factory girls find
out that Fiz is engaged to be married to the no-mark that is
jailbird John
Stape. As they say
round our parts, he’s a dodge-pocket. Don’t ask me
what it means, but he’s one, all right. Rosie and Sally know that
this means Chesney must have been the one who nicked Rosie’s car but
Fiz protects her brother and tells them that she’s the
tea-leaf.
Over at Emily’s
the lights are off and she’s cosy on the
sofa with Ramsay, tea, and a slideshow of the Lakes and a picture of
her wedding to Earnest.
Norris comes home
to find the cosy scene and he’s not best
pleased, especially when he finds out that Ramsay’s eaten his
pie. Rita suggests
to Norris that the
cosy scene he’s seen could mean Emily and
Ramsay have a thing for one
other. Perhaps it’s
another pie?
Joe’s grizzly
this week when David refuses to give him the painkillers unless Joe
tells Tina to get back with David. Joe tries, he
really does, but his words choke him as
Tina questions why he now thinks David’s the best thing since sliced
bread. Joe loses his
cool with David – Joe: “I do not have an addiction!” David: “Joe,
take a chill pill!” - and he pins him up by
the scruff of the neck against the wall in Gail’s house. Apart from
Martin Platt and Ted, has there ever been a fella living in Gail’s house who David hasn’t
had the displeasure of that position with?
But Tina’s got
more on her mind
than her dad being peculiar about Psycho
Dave. She and Jason
are getting a joint mortgage to buy
the flat at No. 12 after
Eileen loans them the money she’s received from cashing in her dad’s
shares.
Becky and Steve
plan wedding v.2.0. The date’s
August 14th, the cake’s being made by Eddie Windass, the maid of honour is Hayley and Becky’s £200 richer when
Roy gives her a
gift of hard cash, always the best kind, don’t you
find. She offers
some of this to Slug when she spies him coasting on the cobbles but
he declines the dosh and slithers
off. She then heads
into town with Hayley to a posh wedding frock shop but the snooty
assistant insists Becky wears gloves before touching the
gowns. Becky
storms out in a
huff and wanders back in later with Steve and his credit
card. In a Pretty
Woman moment, he tells Becky to buy the dress of her dreams which
costs so much it’ll give Steve nightmares
for
years. She also buys
a blue garter: “It’s for keeping me
fags in,” she tells the snooty cow behind the
counter.
Michelle
Connor returned this
week and immediately has Peter Barlow on the
sniff. He buys her a
drink in the Rovers and says he wants to start off where they left
off but Michelle sticks out her new boobs and says she just wants to
be friends. Then Luke
spies Michelle and you can tell his tail’s wagging, his nose’s wet
and he’s panting for a stroke under
the chin, or anywhere
really. Rosie’s not
pleased, as you can imagine.
And that’s just
about that for this
week.
Coronation Street
writers this week were Julie Jones,
David
Lane, Daran Little, Martin Allen and Mark Wadlow.
