FEBRUARY 23
There's a new man in town when cool-hand
Luke arrives to take over Carla's dark share of the Underworld. Luke
Strong - clad in black and driving a red sports car he's clearly not
the sort of man who would ever take a bus. He's at odds with mad-eye
Tony and loved by the girls when he tells them to knock off early
and then buys them all a beer in the bar.
It's Tina's 18th
birthday but there's little celebration when Joe's lock-up gets
smashed up by Len Windass. The Windass clan want to put the
frighteners on Tina so she'll tell the truth about David throwing
the first punch at Gary when the case goes to court. David wants
Tina to lie through her teeth or he could become familiar with
prison food again. Joe gets an offer he can't refuse from Len
Windass who tells him there's 19, count ‘em, 19 kitchens he can fit
if he can get Tina to tell the truth in court. Joe's skint and
tempted by the sleazy offer and gets Tina to tell him the truth
about who threw the first punch. Will the king of kitchen fitting
really dob his daughter in? Tune in next week to find out.
Meanwhile, Gail reminisces about her old mate Suzi Birchall. “She
was a bit of a go-er,” she recalls, and indeed she was, although my
lovely man insists what Gail actually said about Suzi was this: “She
was a bit of a goddess.”
Ken returns from seeing Peter
in Portsmouth and takes his empty suitcase straight to the floating
fun palace to see Martha on her barge. He tells her he can't come to
her opening night as Blanche du Bois, much as he'd like to, as
Deirdre wants him at home making embarrassed conversation with Lloyd
and Liz over a lamb tagine and a bottle of Frescho red. The dinner
party guests assemble around the Barlow tea-table and Ken leaves his
sulky soak in the bath and comes in his kimono (not literally). But
his wasn't the worst fashion faux-pas of the night. Liz McDonald had
the bad-taste fairies working overtime with her two-tops of black
lace and animal print. Which animal? It was really hard to say. I'm
not entirely sure it was even dead. Ken manages to sneak away
the next night to see Martha on stage and goes for a nibble
afterwards before he kisses her on the towpath, always a good spot.
Meanwhile, Deirdre sits at home with a half-baked moussaka and a
worried look on her face. Ken, a man used to fibbing about floozies,
says he was at the theatre with Ted. Deirdre, a woman clearly not
accustomed to her fella's fibbing, believes him. Yet again.
In the butcher shop, Ashley's upset and confused when Graeme
starts repeating his words, I say, repeating his words whenever he
wears Fred's old butcher's cap, I say hat. I say could you stop
doing this it's really annoying, I say irritating. Could Graeme's
head be channelling the spirit of Fred? No, alas not. It's a lot
less exciting as Graeme fesses up that Claire told him all about
Fred and his odd, I say weird, speech pattern and it was all just a
joke. Ashley didn't laugh.
Over in the Rovers, Becky tries
and fails to bond with little Amy. Liz is upset when she spies Amy
sitting on the kitchen worktop next to the oven, Becky feeding her
a mug of builder's tea and a fried breakfast. She ticks off
Becky after she compliments Amy on her dress for an after-school
party she'd just been to. Well, Becky did say to the kid summat
about being able to pull the boys in a get-up like that. Liz, a
woman who once smeared make-up all over her granddaughter's face,
tutted and grimaced, both at the same time.
And elsewhere
this week, Michelle Connor starts work in the bookies and tries to
grips with a double Yankee.
And that's just about that for
this week.
Coronation Street writers this week were David
Lane, Peter Whalley, Simon Crowther, Damon Rochefort and Martin
Allen.
