There's an elephant in the room when Trevor
gives Janice a pachyderm present with her name spelled on it
wrongly. He's brought it all the way back from South Africa
too. Now that Carla's
back on the cobbles the first thing she does is swan round to see
young Tilsley-me-laddo and give him what for: "You're a puffed up
little ponce!" She thinks he's running Underworld under the viaduct
but it's Nick's Nicks he's got up and running there and Carla's not
pleased. So she does
what any good businesswoman would do faced with a patronising
partner who's tried to rip her off. She undercuts Nick's bottom line
in knickers with his buyer and sets out to rip him off in the pants.
Go Carla, go
Anyway, the reason that Nick's in Turner's joinery
in the first place is because Leanne rang up George and pulled in a
favour to help out her ex.
So when Natasha finds out that Leanne and Nick's getting
close, she tells Nick that Leanne used to be on the game but it
doesn't put Nick off and he's still on the Battersby sniff. Leanne came out with a
cracker of a line when she tells Nick that Natasha "isn't even fit
to lick my patent leather boots!" Leanne storms home in a huff
and tells Peter that her past has a way of always catching up with
her. He tells her that
Natasha's jealous of her relationship with Nick. "You've got
history, they've only got cushion covers."
Mary takes Hayley on a scheduled day out to
look at wedding venues. It's all itinerary and maps and Dolly Parton
on CD as the motorhome heads out to a country hall. Hayley's too
polite to say much to Mary but it's clear she's uncomfortable being
involved in Mary's manic world. That is, until she spots a steam
train running alongside the wedding hall and knows Roy would love
it. I think he'd be chuffed and reckon Hayley should
choo-choo-choose it now.
In the Rovers, Ciaran gets naked when he
loses a bet with Michelle. He tells her he'll cook her dinner and if
she doesn't like it, he'll bear all behind the bar. So when he over
cooks the chicken and it ends up burned, in the bin, it's his
drumsticks and chicken legs on show in the pub. And quite tasty
there were too.
Over at the Barlows' it's Deirdre's birthday
and she's 110. Ken gets out the best cups and Deirdre breakfasts on
chocolate. A touching scene came when Ken finds a birthday card from
Deirdre that she'd put out, it's from last year and Deirdre couldn't
face throwing it away last year and not having it on show this. She
shares her birthday with little Simon, who's 7 and there's a party
with jelly and kiddies and screams. And Simon's wasn't much
better.
Lewis is still giving Deirdre the glad eye
which, if you're watching whilst you have your tea, can fair turn
your stomach real bad.
And his phone still rings with middle-aged women calling him
for a date and then there's Claudia who he bumps into a night out
with Audrey as they're eating at Vito's in Manchester (I've been
there, it's a real restaurant and it's great!) and she can't believe
her blow-dry that Lewis has settled down with Audrey. Audrey tells
Claudia to delete Lewis from her phone, reallah, but Claudia just
gives Audrey a look and gives Lewis another.
Meanwhile, Lloyd looks after Cheryl and her
son (who's a little cracker) and she makes a decision to leave her
brutal husband Chris who beats her up.
Graeme's upset this week when he tells Tina
he loves her and she doesn't reply. He reckons he's blown it with
her and confides in Norris about his lack of love life. Norris, I
know, who better to get maudlin with in the back room of a shop with
a cracked cup of cheap tea?
And finally this week, Eddie and Anna's
nephew spills food colouring all over their sofa. They need a new
one, a cheap one and think they know a man who can get them one but
John Stape isn't really a furniture salesman, he just likes to let
the neighbours think he is and Eddie's not a man to let a sniff of a
bargain escape him. Just when John's wondering how he can get
himself out of this little furniture fix, along comes fruity
Charlotte with a bottle of wine in her handbag and a glint in her
eye. She wants to know if John's heard from their mutual friend
overseas, the elusive Colin Fishwick and he tells her not yet. Oh,
but he will. Charlotte
leaves the wine, and a chill down the spine, with John and Fiz while
Chesney starts to wonder just what's really going
on.
And that's just about that for this
week.
Coronation Street writers this week were John Kerr,
Chris Fewtrell, Julie Jones and Jan McVerry.
