Trevor and Carla returned from the World Cup this
week. Trevor's clean-shaven and had a haircut. He's even lost his
beard which was really creepy because without his beard Trevor looks
like Liam Connor Lite, which is presumably what Carla really wants.
She's yet to find out that Nick's driven Underworld underground and
has opened Nick's Nicks in its stead, a business that doesn't
include her. I wouldn't want to be in Nick's Nicks when she finds
out. I hope she blinking well throttles him.
Another Rover
returned this week when Sean comes back from Sitges via Old Compton
Street. Well, you book Ryan Air and you can never be sure which
route they'll take. He's all loved up and tanned and wants to find
his son Dylan. He sets up a Facebook (sorry, can't use that for
copyright reasons so let's pretend it's called Facescene) account in
the name and shape of Liz McDonald to get in touch with Violet
Wilson online. Contact is made, pictures are exchanged and tears are
shed as Sean's in bits when he sees his son.
Lloyd's in
turmoil over Cheryl the stripper. She turns up with a black eye and
he thinks it's her boss that's hit her but it's her husband Chris, a
nasty piece of work. Lloyd takes Cheryl and her son into his flat to
look after her while nasty Chris roams the cobbles looking for his
missus. Steve tells Lloyd he's mad to even get involved hut Lloyd's
fallen in lust.
Graeme and Tina's love thang takes off so
when Graeme breaks the news to David, he ties him to a radiator
first. But when David gets angry, he gets really angry and he hits
the Street with the radiator tied to his wrist after he rips it off
the wall in his mum's house. It's a fair bet to say he's not pleased
with the news that his mate Graeme is dating his ex. David also rips
the peaks from Graeme's caps and the hoods from his hoodies. "She's
my Tina!" he yells at Graeme to which he replies: "Actually, she's
my Tina now." Jason's also not happy and locks Tina out of the flat
before throwing her clothes in black bin bags to the street below.
Thank heavens for first floor flat fall-outs, it just wouldn't be
the same if love went sour from the ground floor and bags were just
handed out of the door instead of being flung from above. Graeme
moves in with his uncle Derek but it's too minging for Tina who
moves in with Rita. I loved this bit, Tina and Rita sharing a flat,
a bottle of wine and some of Rita's memories. "Who's that old drag
queen with the hair?" asks Graeme when Rita shows Tina some old
photos from her youth. "That? That's Bet Lynch!" Rita replied.
Graeme's also had enough of life at uncle Derek's and Emily asks him
to move in to her spare room, news which doesn't cheer Norris at
all, not one bit.
Lewd Lewis gets randy this week with
Deirdre in the back lane. I hope you weren't eating at this point
because it was real stomach-churning stuff. Deirdre invites Lewis
and Audrey to a dinner party chez Barlow where her stuffed marrow is
the talk of the night. Ken bores everyone rigid with his plans for a
study in Blanche's old room and Deirdre reveals that he once worked
as an escort himself. Those who remember this storyline will also
recall that one of Ken's dates during this time died half way
through the date which was probably preferable to a full night with
Ken. Anyway, Deirdre flirts with Lewis and later in the back yard,
Lewis and Deirdre share a postprandial fag and he tells her that she
is (and these are his words, not mine, before you throw up) " a very
naughty girl". Oh Deirdre, oh. But then, you can't really blame
her.
In the Rovers it's Weatherfield's Fairest Barmaid
competition and Liz wants to enter. She pretends to draw straws to
see which of her staff should be entered to win but the straws all
say Liz and she puts herself forward. Not one for holding herself
back, is Liz.
Elsewhere, Steve and Becky have a meeting with
the adoption people at which they have to take along something from
their past which means a great deal to them today. Becky takes a
fluffy monkey and Steve takes Buster Tough Guts (of the Weatherfield
Tough Guts), he's an all-action figure, aka a doll. Anna and Eddie
Windass also attend. Anna brings jewellery and is disappointed in
Eddie who turns up empty-handed. But when it's his turn to speak, he
says the thing he's brought is "our Gary in the army, defending the
freedom of each and every one of us. My own Buster Tough Guts".
There wasn't a dry eye on our sofa.
And that's just about
that for this week.
Coronation Street writers this week were
Mark Wadlow, Joe Turner, Simon Crowther, Jonathan Harvey and Carmel
Morgan.
