2009 - MAY 18
It's been a bit of a
week for Norris. First off Mary tries to seduce him in the motorhome
with her amuse bouche and Sheena Easton impression. “What do you
wear in bed?” she purrs to the reluctant newsagent. “Me?” she
replies without being asked. “I wear a touch of Tweed by Lentheric
and I like to stroke my muumuu.” She's all over him, is Mary,
and Norris isn't best pleased, he runs for the door and flings Mary
to the ground. So it comes as no surprise that Mary sets off on her
grand tour in her anorak, alone. You'd think Norris would be happy
that Mary's gone but he's left wondering if he's made a big mistake.
And just as Norris is pondering this, into his life walks his
half-brother Manuel. He's from Barcelona, you know.
Norris and Ramsay haven't seen each other for 50 years so
was I the only viewer to raise an eyebrow that they recognised each
other immediately in the Rovers? Norris wants nowt to do with
Ramsay and tells Rita and Emily that Ramsay killed their mum. These
are strong words from Norris but it turns out the truth is far less
murderous and Norris is being a big drama queen.
Best scene
of the week for this Corrie fan was Deirdre dancing around the
kitchen, just to spite Ken. She turns the radio up loud and dances
by the kitchen sink to defy Ken and his air of Radio 4. She throws
wanton abandon to the wind of a pop tune and lets Ken know in no
uncertain terms that she's fed up to the back teeth with him being a
boring old tart.
Meanwhile over the road, Peter tries but
gets nowhere with Michelle, who's eyeing up Luke Strong. He's the
man who always goes back for the wabbit, remember, and he might also
be the man who always gets the girl.
Boring story of the week
was Fiz finding out that John's been beaten up in prison and lies
ill in a hospital bed. Maria gets the truth out about John from Fiz
and like the whole of the nation, yells at the TV screen: “Oi, Fiz!
No!”
Over at the cash and carry, Eddie Windass takes Roy's ID
to buy loads of cheap booze. As he goes through the security exit,
the buzzers go off and the store's on alert. But he doesn't get
nicked, oh no. The store manager tells Eddie that he's won a
European weekend break to a destination of his choice. It'll all
come out in the wash, these things always do.
Elsewhere,
Connie invites Jack to spend two weeks in Spain. He's got the string
vest and the hankie for his head, so he needs no persuading. But he
lies to Molly and Tyrone and says he's off to Blackpool, on his
own.
And at Eileen's house, Colin pops his clogs and dies on
the sofa, just before the police come to arrest him. The one good,
nay, excellent thing to come out of this storyline is that once they
get over the funeral and grief, Eileen and Julie could well become
one of Corrie's best ever comedy and dramatic partnership. Have we
ever had a pair of middle-aged sisters on Corrie before?
And
that's just about that for this week.
Coronation Street
writers this week were Jonathan Harvey, Peter Whalley and Lucy
Gannon.
