Coronation Street Weekly Updates | ||||||

John Stape turned into a sofa supremo this
week, king of the cushions, when he sold Anna and Eddie Windass a
new sofa in a shop.
Yes, we all know he's pretending to be Colin Fishwick while
illegally teaching using someone else's ID but his friends and
neighbours think he's working in a furniture shop and so when the
Windasses want a new sofa, they only want to buy it from John. He
rises to the challenge and pretends to work in a furniture
warehouse. So well does he carry out his task that the store manager
offers him a job. And it'd be an offer that John should have taken
up for if he'd done so, he wouldn't have been punched in the face by
a fella this week whose wife's been having an affair with Colin
Fishwick. And the fella
thinks John's Colin although Colin's now back in the country and
can't believe his ears when Charlotte and John tell him that John's
being Colin. "Think of it as an homage," says saucy Charlotte. "It's
like having your own tribute band." And all of this fake ID
chatter over a pint in the Rovers was accompanied wonderfully by the
Ting Tings song, That's Not My Name. Fiz finally gives John an
ultimatum ? say goodbye to education or get the elbow. John's mouth says the right
words that Fiz wants to hear but that look in his eyes says
something else. Charlotte turns up again, she's like an
on-heat-seeking missile and she moistens herself up to John on the
cobbles, threatening to have him under her duvet before he knows
what's hit him.
Down at Underworld, Carla takes the reins
and harnesses Nick to the role of underdog, giving him a job on
condition that she can call him Nicky. Go Team Carla, go. Nick's a broken man, having
lost his factory and his balls to Carla. She keeps them snug in her
sleek designer handbag, right next to her own. Nick moans to Leanne,
in tears, about his fate in life and muses on how she'd have made a
great mum. Ooh, what a
beast, these words from the man who made Leanne abort their
child. What a nasty
piece that Nicky really is.
As Carla rules the roost at Underworld under
the viaduct in the makeshift sweatshop, she's got the builders in at
the factory building it back up and putting things right. She gives
the building work to Izzy's dad Owen who's on the job quick sharp
with a bunch of lads working hard. He's on time, he works hard, he's
the builder you always dream of having fit your kitchen but Bill
Webster's not happy about having his nose pushed out of joint and
out of work. Izzy's dad Owen has fitted into Corrie well and
quick. Rita remarks to
Norris that he reminds her of Len, and indeed he does, there's
something of the old-school, classic Corrie chap about him. And he
wastes no time in chatting up the landlady of the Rovers too,
another trait we have to love him for, as well as saving Sian's life
when he rushes her to t'hospital after she collapses with
appendicitis and then recovers overnight.
Meanwhile in the corner shop, Sunita can't
cope looking after the house, the kids and Dev as well as working in
the shop although Dev expects her to do all three. And more besides.
And when she gets into a pickle with an order for chutney, she tells
Dev she wants to swap jobs for a week so that Dev has to mind the
kids, cook, clean and chutney-up the shop while Sunita does whatever
it is that Dev does do.
And finally this week, it's almost Audrey's
birthday and Natasha organises a 70th birthday party for
her for Friday night in the Rovers. Liz offers the buffet menu ?
there's standard (sausage rolls), luxury (big sausage rolls) or
supreme (sausage rolls with parsley garnish).
And that's just about that for this
week.
Coronation Street writers this week were Damon
Rochefort, , Mark Wadlow, Mark Burt, Peter Whalley, Martin Allen.
