It's birthday
week on Corrie this
week. Dev's 46
going on 12 and Norris is 70
going on 93.
Norris wants no
fuss, he tells everyone, no fuss at all. And then when
it looks like he's not going to get any presents, he kicks up a
fuss. Rita sends a
card, Emily takes him for a drink and
gives him toe spreaders and a callus knife (as opposed to a callous
knife which would have been a cruel gift) while Mary buys him a
wig. Incensed,
Norris takes the
toupee and intends to throw it down the men's loo in the Rovers but
can't resist trying it on first. Then,
startled when Trevor the binman
comes into the gents, Norris stuffs the
toupee under his cardigan and wanders out with
it. I don't think
we've seen the last of that wig.
Dev has a
better birthday as he plays happy families with Sunita's cleavage
and her twins.
Over at
Underworld, Kelly bets
Teresa a tenner that she won't have a job by the end of the
day. Teresa takes
her on and storms into the
factory asking Carla
for a
job. She gets one
too ? doing what she's good at, scrubbing of
course.
Trevor the binman
soon realises that Carla's not the cleaner when he finds out about
Teresa giving the floors a shine but
that doesn't put him off Carla even if Janice does have photos of
the hunky refuse collector and his
kittens on her phone. I can't believe I just wrote
that.
Simon returns
from Spain with Jimmy
Greaves and Pauline
Prescott. But when
Peter goes to th'airport to find his
son, he's not there. He's not
there either when the other kids are coming out of school and he's
not at George's house
later when Peter storms round
there, demanding to see Simon. Leanne and
Ken turn up at George's house as
Simon's locked in the car with Eve, the cops are called and it's
poor Peter who
gets arrested and taken away for breach of the
peace. That
George is a nasty
piece of work, by ?eck he
is.
The cops get
called a lot this week and as you can imagine, they've got a few
questions for
Gail. They want to
know, for instance, why
her sigature's on the life insurance policy that she said she didn't
sign. They also
question the Plattilsley boys, David and Nick, and take Gail down
the station for
questioning. Joe's body is
being released for a funeral
which Gail and Tina plan to sort out between
them. It'll all
kick off soon, just you wait.
Becky comes to
terms with
losing the baby
and there's a lovely scene when Liz confides in her about losing her
own baby, Katie, 18 years
ago. Yes, I know,
18 years ago.
And finally
this week, Nick takes leggy Kelly for a pie and a
pint somewhere posh in town. He wants to
get into knickers, not particularly Kelly's, but knickers in general
and he needs an in at the factory so he can
find out the whatnots and wherefores of the
financial standing of Weatherfield's finest briefs
manufacturer. And Nick
reckons Kelly's just the girl to give him what he
wants.
And that's
just about that for this
week.
Coronation Street
writers this week were Jayne Hollinson,
David
Lane, Chris
Fewtrell and John Kerr.
