It's all going
on in the Rovers this week when Peter plans to propose to Leanne but
she gets the wrong end of the stick and reckons he's having it away
with busty Michelle. Peter? Having
two women on the go at one time? Not this time,
no. But by the
time Leanne's lost her temper with Peter, bitched at Michelle and
thrown a wobbly, Peter doesn't feel like going down on one knee as
he'd planned. It doesn't
take Leanne long to realise her mistake and she proposes to Peter
instead, down on one knee in the Rovers. "I will if
you will," Peter tells her. "Me an' all,"
she replies. I think
that's a yes, then. Ooh, this'll mean that
Janice and Deirdre'll be in-laws. Can't wait to
see their wedding hats, can you?
Also in the
Rovers, Leanne's old mate Cheryl arrives and Lloyd's eyes pop out of
his head. He's in lust,
deep, deep lust and when he finds out that Cheryl
works as a
stripper, well he'll think all his birthdays have come at
once. When Teresa
finds out what's going on, well, that's a different thing
entirely.
"When you used
to tell Norris you were
out at the shops doing a monthly price check on the local
competition," says Eileen to Rita, in full frontal ear-shot of Mary
in the Kabin, "?you were really upstairs having a bath with the
radio on, keeping out of Norris' way when
he got on your nerves." Rita tittered, nervously, because
Norris wasn't
supposed to know that. It was a good
job he wasn't there then, he was out doing his monthly price check
on the local competition.
Rita was good
this week, by ?eck she was. She realises
that Lewis has come between her and Audrey and makes the
first step towards making amends by telling Lewis she can't see him
any more. He kisses her
hand and waves au revoir. And then he
slithers across the road to Audrey and tells her
he's decided not to see Rita anymore. Well,
Audrey rubs this in
Rita's face as fast as you can say gigolo-a-go-go and what does
Saint Rita do? She does nowt. She keeps her
mouth shut and her thoughts to herself.
For now,
anyroad.
Poor Janice
though. This week she
had a fish and chip supper ready for a night in
with tasty Trev the trash man. But Trev was
nowhere to be seen, not by Janice
anyroad. He's only
been in bed with Carla Connor. After a few
drinks on the town she lured him back to her flat and my god, we saw
into her boudoir and it wasn't what I'd have chosen
myself. It was
garish, it was gold, there was even
brocade. Not a good
look. Did she miss
the call to chuck out her
chintz?
John drags Fiz
to a farewell party for one of his
ex-teaching colleagues, Colin Fishwick who's moving to
Canada. Well, his
ex-wife Glenda (great name and one shared by the receptionist in the
medical centre on Rosamund
Street) left him
for the fella at
WeightWatchers.
Before they leave
the party, John nicks Colin's ID so he can get back into teaching
using someone else's name. It takes a
while for John to wear
Fiz down enough for her to give
in and agree it's a good idea (it's not) and that John's
worth
more than
working in the
caff (he's not).
Ffff?..
for heaven's
sake, Fiz, wake up and smell the "my name's Fishwick, Colin
Fishwick" deceit. And so John
heads back to the teaching world he says he
loves so much and the three Rs: reading, writing and ripping off
fake IDs.
This week,
Sophie and Sian shared a
kiss. Well, they
not so much shared it but Sian suffered it
while Sophie kissed her. They'd fallen
out over Ryan who'd come on to Sophie and tried to kiss
her. When Sophie
told Sian, Sian didn't believe that Ryan would do such a thing and
so the friends stopped speaking to each other and then they made up
and hugged a bit and then hugged a bit more and Sophie
thought a kiss on the lips would be a good idea but Sian wasn't keen
and scarpered off to Southport. Sophie
follows her and Sian tells her she
wants nothing to do with Sophie and her kisses and hugs and Sophie
returns home in tears. Kev's at a
loss to understand his daughters, especially Rosie, who's taken up
with the fella who works on the
Weatherfield
County burger van,
and isn't, as Rosie thought and hoped, a
Weatherfield
County footballing
star. It's his
fallen arches to blame, they've a lot to answer
for.
And finally
this week, Steve and Becky go to a meeting to learn
more about
adoption. Anna and
Eddie Windass are there too and both couples wonder if they'd be
allowed to adopt. Can you adopt
if you smoke? (Becky), live in a pub? (Steve)
or are an older
lady? (Anna). The answers
to all questions were yes, you can.
