The big
story this week
has been Molly and Tyrone's car crash. There they
were, in the middle of the nowhere on a country lane, upside down in
a smashed up car and before you know it,
two fire engines and an ambulance arrive quick-sharp after Tyrone
struggles out of the car and flags down a woman who calls
999. Molly's rushed to hospital
where she and the baby are going to be fine and Kevin hangs around
the ward like an unwashed bedpan that's due in the
sluice. When Molly gets discharged
from th'ospital (and does anyone else miss Nurse Martin Platt?) she
tells Tyrone she wants to move away from
Weatherfield. Go on then,
Molly, shift yerself. Just leave
our Tyrone where he is.
For a middle-aged
fella in a cardigan, Lloyd does a decent job of chatting up Cheryl
the stripper. That is,
until Teresa the girlfriend comes into the cab office and puts a
dampner on things, asking about the whereabouts and thereabouts of
the missing Fat Brenda. Oh come on
Corrie, we HAVE
to meet this woman. I bet she's
really thin; it's like Curly, who wasn't.
Big "Eugh!"
moment of the week came when Eddie Windass appeared at the foot of
his stairs in his y-fronts and vest. At least they
looked clean. He and Anna
are fretting over Gary who's gone
AWOL but what they don't know yet is that
Gary's in the
shed. David finds
him hiding and the two of them share a beer and crisps in the Platt
kitchen where talk turns to mothers and which one of the two lads is
the most grown-up, or
not.
"You'd still be
on the breast if she let yer," Gary tells
David. There's a
disturbing truth in that statement that hits David hard and he lays
into Gary
before throwing him
out to go AWOL back in the SHED.
Big "Haha!"
moment of the week came from the Barlows where Deirdre's made
hummus. Hummus! I
know! Deirdre! ?I've gone all sophisticated and continental,? she
tells Liz before finding out
they've got mice in the hice. And that was
the cue for comedy
trouser time as Deirdre put elastic bands around the bottom of her
trousers to stop the mice running up her trouser
leg. Ken just laid
traps and poison which was much
less fun to
watch.
Big "Aww!"
moment of the week came when Sian and Sophie made up and decided
they were going out with each other even if it felt weird and they
didn't know whether to make their relationship public,
or
not. It's sweet,
it really us.
Another couple
of female friends back on track are Rita and
Audrey, where in a
lovely moment Rita came into the salon to see her friend and book an
?air appointment. The camera
angle was such that we saw Rita in the salon
mirror so it
appeared Audrey had her back
to her friend as Rita delivered her
apology. Magical
stuff. Mind you,
Audrey's fluffy head
has been turned by Lewis who tells her she's the special one and
he's off the meter with her from now on, she no longer has to pay
for his attention
and time. Rita's wise
to Lewis' game, she knows he's a bad ?un but will
Audrey listen? Like
as not, no.
And finally
this week, Norris and Mary
go to Bronte Country in the motorhome with Kate
Bush's Wuthering
Heights singing them
off the Street. Once they're
cosied up in their cottage on the moors, they set to
comping but first there's dinner and Mary cooks up a
storm
for
Norris to eat
with spicy chorizo sausage
?Toad in the Ol?!' She confuses
Norris when she
tells him she had to do a spot of laundry while cooking dinner
because ?my brassiere got soaked right
through.? She's a
marvel, is Mary, but Norris doesn't
seem to have noticed that yet.
