December 14
Deirdre
doesn't know which way to turn when she's caught in the battle of
the Barlows as Ken goes head to head with Peter over him opening the
bar. Ken meets
with a hack from the Gazette who splashes Bar Wars all over the
front page, dragging in the Barlow top 10 misdemeanours
for good measure
too. Adultery,
jail, murder and John Lindsay - the
Barlow history's laid bare
all over tomorrow's hamster
cage lining. Ken even calls a public
meeting in the Rovers to garner support against
Peter's new bar but he shoots himself in the foot when Peter turns
up and finds out what's going on and then refuses to let Ken see
little Simon over Christmas. It serves Ken
right, if you ask me.
Deranged Dev
goes into manic overdrive when he finds out that Matt from the golf
course is engaged to Sunita. Not only
that, they're planning to wed. Dev couldn't
care less about the twins or his ex-wife
but just because he doesn't want anything to do with them doesn't
mean he's going to let Matt take over his wife and kids without a
fight. When his plan
to turn on the smarm backfires with Sunita (is it just me
or does she look
like she's got fatter lips than she had last time around?) he drowns
his sorrows in the
Rovers but the only one feeling sorry
for him is
himself.
Over at
Underworld, the
world-famous
Christmas party is a no-go this year. Carla tells
her stitchers there's a credit crunch on and they need to tighten
their belts. Well, well,
how the mighty have fallen. If you cast
your mind back to the very first time we ever saw Carla, she roared
into the Underworld Christmas
party with a bottle of champagne in each hand and another crate load
in the back of her flash sports
car. This festive
season she's taken to
being questioned at the police station about Jimmy Dockerson, Tony
and Liam. So busy has
she been on police business this yule that she's
forgotton to have
her roots touched up.
At the
Websters', Rosie takes her cleavage for an outing to
the Rovers to wobble in front of Peter Barlow in the hope that he'll
give her a job in the bar. He tells her
he'll consider her assets. Sophie's
planning her full-body baptism while Kevin continues his creepy
Molly lust.
In the Rovers,
the panto auditions are in full swing and after a bit of drama, the
cast is, er, cast. Graeme is
Buttons, the ugly sisters are Sean and Jesse, Becky's
Dandini and
Betty's the fairy godmother. She would
have scowled if she hadn't been. I can't wait
to see this, it's going to be great.
Norris and Freda
celebrate after winning ?1,000 in a
competition.
Unfortunately
for Graeme, as
Norris found out
this piece of good news, he was holding a ladder on top of which was
Graeme, cleaning windows. The ladder
slips from Norris' grasp,
Graeme falls and does himself a mischief and
Norris has to
take on Graeme's window-cleaning round. He's only
doing it so he can peer into people's bedroom windows, which sounds
like the only reason I'd ever do that job
too. Bu then I'm
really nosy, me.
And finally,
this week was the last time we'll ever see
Blanche
Hunt on
screen. It was
poignant, but fitting, that her last word was:
"Hallelujah!" and her absence has been explained with a trip to
Portugal with her mate
May Pen from the one
o'clock
club. You know May,
she's the one with the gay son who won best of show in
Crufts.
And that's
just about that for this
week. I'll be back in the New Year
and it's over to Karen
Jankel's weekly
update for the next two
weeks. Merry
Christmas, everybody!
Coronation Street
writers this week were Peter Whalley, Martin Allen, Jayne Hollinson
and Damon Rochefort.
