The
Underworld girls have
had a shocking week. First off,
Kelly gets electric-shocked by a loose wire in her sewing machine
and it's clear that the old machines and the
factory need an
overhaul. But there's no
cash, says Messrs Strong and Gordon and that's
when Mr Strong comes up with a plan. He asks the
girls to buy a share of the factory to raise cash
to get the place tarted
up. The girls' reaction to this piece of news? They
were shocked.
Over the road,
Maria has a false alarm when she starts having baby pains and is
rushed to th'ospital with Kirkeh by her side. Now, Kirkeh's not the best person in a panic and
Maria shoos him away when it turns out she'll be
ok. But as soon as
Tony Gordon finds out
what's happened to Maria, he makes it his mission to mind her and
moves in. Maria doesn't
take much convincing about having a hunky-Scot living on her sofa,
especially when he's good with Ozzy, makes proper
porridge with a
spurtle and does his ironing
sans-shirt. Ooh, all these
qualities, eh? If only he wasn't a murderer, he'd be quite a good
catch.
Over at the
Kabin, Norris has got a
strop on (I said strop on, dear) when Ramsay becomes the Kabin's new
paperboy. He's further
annoyed to find Ramsay and Emily doing the
crossword, together,
and enjoying it too. It was nice to
see Emily happy, I'd rather forgotten she
could be.
David Platt's
scam to get Gary Windass caught in the act
of thieving from Audrey's house comes
unstuck after Audrey and Gail catch
David at the house just as he was about to put the family photos
back on the shelves. He comes
clean, does David, when he realises he has
no choice and Gail gives him yet another talking to, about how
disappointed she is, how she'll never forgive him, how
she's just letting him live in the house but he's no longer part of
the family. As the King of Siam once said:
“Etcetera. Etcetera. Etcetera”. Strangely, Ted
appears to have forgiven David
although the way Audrey's set her
face, it looks like it could take her some time to feel the
same.
The
Weatherfield Barbie gets a letter from John Stape asking
her to visit him in prison. She throws a
sickie to get the day off
work and heads to
the jail in a teeny-tiny skirt and an itsy-bitsy
top.
John looks up from
his misery to see a cleavage wobble towards him with Rosie Webster
behind it. He tells her
he's giving her the proceeds from the sale of his grandmother's
house, all £150,000 of it and advises Rosie to spend it wisely, on
education or training when
all Rosie wants to buy is shoes, boys and
bags. Rosie skips
out of the prison after visiting John, putting the
eyes of the Weatherfield populace in direct danger of being poked
out by her boobs. Honestly, I
didn't know where to look although I suspect if you're male and of
the right age, you did.
Meanwhile Kev Webster thinks there's summat going on between Jason and Molly as the
two of them go training together. But it's only the running that
raising Jason's heartbeat when he's with Molly and he tells Kev in
no uncertain terms that he wouldn't go after a mate's
missus. Ah, but Kevin
would - and he does. Tune in next
week for
more. Same bat blog, same bat channel and wear your underpants
outside your bat trousers with pride.
And that's just
about that for this
week.
