Freda and
freesias arrive at Emily’s front door and Emily’s over the moon to
see her niece again. Fortunately for Freda, she can turn her deaf
ear to drown out Norris complaining about Ramsay chatting up her
aunt but she and Norris then form an unlikely alliance against
Ramsay. Freda’s got a nasty streak in her, she hasn’t been at
Emily’s for 10 minutes before she’s dissing Ramsay, someone she’s only just met and
whom Emily is clearly fond of. Norris of course is lapping up
Freda’s every evil last word.
“Jump! Jump!” we
yelled at the telly in our house when
Claire was up on the roof at th’ospickle.
Oh go on, you know you said it too. And when she
showed no signs of jumping. we
yelled out to Ashley “Push! Push!” Claire
wants Ashley to have a vasectomy as she’s so scared of getting
pregnant again in case the postnatal depression sends her over the
edge like it did when she had little Freddie. Ashley gowns up and
goes private but when he sees the knife looming towards him, does a
runner and gets laughed at. He hasn’t told Claire he hasn’t had the
snip though, she thinks he’s had it done and is now waiting for
th’ospickle to send her his bits that she
can keep with his balls in her handbag.
At Underworld,
Rosie wants to create her own line of lingerie and decides she can’t
go wrong with a thong although Messrs Strong and Gordon clearly
disagree.
Joe’s begging
Graeme to get him more pills but Graeme won’t oblige and Joe’s
stranded up pill creek without a paddle. David finds out what’s
going on and nicks Joe’s pills so he can sell them back to him at
£100 a pop. I want this story to be over and I want Gail to smile
again.
In the course
of a sentence, a future storyline of Corrie spun and changed over a café table at
Roy’s. Eileen
goes: “Ooh, I’ve got twelve thousand pounds I never knew I had from
my dad’s shares and by eckersyerlike,
isn’t number 12 Coronation
Street up for
sale?” And so it came
to pass that Jason and Tina decide to buy No. 12, do it up and sell
it and Eileen will give them some cash.
Barry and Helen
are thrown out over at Maria’s when Tony warns them about staying
away from Maria and baby Liam, whose got the sleek, black Connor
hairdo already. Maria is so annoying, I could slap her but you know,
it’s a television screen and I’d just hurt my
hand.
Jason Grimshaw
joins a new football team this week when invited by
Leon, Sean’s new
friend. Jason’s the only one who doesn’t know it’s a gay football
team and thinks Leon’s being
friendly, not flirtatious. Even Eileen knows that her son’s playing
for the other side but she’s too wrapped up watching Clout singing
Substitute on You Tube. “They were the Spice Girls of their day,”
she tells Tina. No they weren’t, I replied, not that I was
asked.
Over at the
pub, Slug warns Becky to be careful and look out for herself. He
doesn’t mention DC Hooch or planted drugs and perhaps he should’ve
done, he was being too subtle and Becky’s not too
bright. Steve
rings the register office and books their wedding, again, for two
weeks’ time. He asks Lloyd to be his best man and hopes that Liz
will make it back from Spain. Lloyd hopes
so too.
And finally,
Chesney’s fed up. He calls Fiz “a stupid cow”, flings a beer can at
Eddie Windass and throws his new trainers
around the house as they’re “uber-minging
to the max”. Well, it’s the lad’s birthday, his mum’s forgotten and
his sister’s bought him the wrong size shoes and all she cares about
is stupid Stape in prison. Give the lad a
break.
Best scene of
the week for this Corrie fan was Gail
doing low-impact aerobics with packets of frozen peas on her legs.
Wonderful stuff, I’m going to give it a try now.
Coronation Street
writers this week were Debbie Pates, Martin Allen, Carmel Morgan,
Peter Whalley and Jonathan Harvey.
