JANUARY 26
Maria's in her jim-jams and out of her mind when
she heads to the Rovers to accuse Tony Gordon of killing both Liam
and Jed. The thing is, as we all know, Maria's not mad, she
absolutely right except that Jed's not dead but she doesn't know
that. I do, ‘cos I've seen pictures of him in the papers. Anyway,
Maria's not right in t'head and after the cops don't believe her
story about Tony killing Jed (maybe they've seen pictures in the
papers too) Maria turns up the volume on the CD in the car – it's
The Stone Roses singing ‘I am The Resurrection' – and runs down Tony
Gordon before crashing into Underworld. She's fine, the baby's fine,
Tony's fine, but the cops come sniffing again and warn Maria that
she could face the charge of attempted murder if she's not
careful.
Corrie turned glam this week when Hollywood actress
Stephanie Beacham swapped the Colbys for the cobbles. She turned up
as Martha who lives on a barge and is set to get together with Ken
who floats her boat. Ken meets her when he takes a walk along
the canal and Martha saves Eccles who falls into the icy canal after
chasing a duck. Ken's flirt alert picks up Martha on his randy radar
and warms to her wooing with some homemade leek and potato soup.
When she asks about his family and he tells her his son's mother is
dead, she assumes he's a widower and Ken does nowt to put her right.
Martha's a book reading, radio listening, Shiraz drinking, barge
floating lady. And Deirdre as well know, is not. Life in the Barlow
house is going to be rocky for a while. Again.
Over at the
builder's yard, fingers point at Joe for nicking the copper pipes as
everyone knows he's skint with no cash after his Klever Kitchen hit
the Kredit Krunch. David knows it were the Windass clan who nicked
the pipes and reports them to the police, for all the good it'll do.
Eddie Windass then pretends he's been mugged and all the lad's darts
subs have been nicked from his pocket. What he's really done is
knocked himself in the face with the living room door and pocketed
the cash. He's a wrong ‘un, that Windass.
Chesney decides to
cheer up Fiz and fixes her up with Graeme. Bless him, he reads out a
poem to her, an ode to her flaming hair. It goes: “Your flaming
hair, your flaming hair…” Well, you get the idea but it doesn't do
the trick as Fiz is still mooning over John who's in jail. Graeme
admits to Fiz that his first love was Aquamarina from Stingray. Me
too, and I'm a girl.
There's chaos in the Webster house when
both Rosie and Sophie manage to upset Kev and Sal this week. First
off, Kev chokes on his corn flakes when he opens the paper at
breakfast to see a double page spread of Rosie with her cleavage
centre-fold. She's sold her soul to the papers after being locked up
by John Stape. And as if one little trollop wasn't enough, Sophie
then admits that she's pregnant. Only she's not, it's all a cry for
help from a desperate Sophie who's starved of affection when her
parents pass her over for her older sister. Kev tells Sophie
she can speak to him about boys or about anything she likes, as he
plays with an Airfix Model at the dining room table. I only hope
he's thought on to put a cloth underneath otherwise Sally will give
him what for.
Norris puzzles over the issues of the day when
he tries to come up with a slogan to sell Oldham. A lightbulb pings
over his head, he's got it, so he has. “Oldham!” he cries “Home of
the tubular bandage!” I think he could be onto something
there.
Over in the Rovers, Eileen discovers that Julie Carp's
mum Paula is one of her old school mates but for some strange reason
Julie's being cagey about what her mum's up to or indeed, where she
is.
And that's just about that for this week.
Coronation Street writers this week were David Bowker, Julie
Jones, Mark Burt and Chris
Fewtrell.
