Gail's in jail
in bad pyjamas but her spirits are high as she thinks she's getting
out. But when her
solicitor comes with
bad news that she's been refused bail, she slinks back to her cell,
banged up with a Jackie Dobbs-lite. While Gail's in jail, the
Plattilsley boys battle it out on the Street with one of the
more convincing
punch-ups the Street's had in a while. It flew from
David's fist to Nick's nasty sneering face as big brother taunted
little ?un about Tina. She dumped
Jason after he
proposed when his divorce came
through from Sarah, her what's in Milan. Well, from
Milan to miladdo as
Jason, thought
waving his decree absolute in Tina's face would turn her
on.
Jason was wearing
that aftershave again, Eau D'esperation which he'd liberally
splashed all over. So anyway, in
order to get rid
of Jason, Tina told
him she'd kissed Nick so Jason knocked out
Nick then Nick taunted David at home and wham, Nick got it in the
face really hard and really good. I liked that
punch a lot.
Over in the
salon, Lewis calls in to see Audrey
for a
short back and
sides and a chit-chat. She confides
to him about Gail and the boys and she's really fallen
for Lewis, you
can tell and even though he tells her his meter's not running, you
know it really is, somewhere down the
line. Rita wants to
know who Audrey's mystery man
is, especially when Norris takes it
on himself to photograph Audrey being kissed
by Lewis under the awning and Audrey tells Rita
the truth. She tells her
that Lewis is an escort, and yes,
she pays him for his time, and
no, she's not falling for
him. Oh
Audrey, you big
fibber, you.
Eileen finally
threw Jesse out this week after he tried to wheedle his way back
into her heart and her bed. But first, he
sought an opening in Julie's gullibility
and fortunately, she
saw right through him straight away. So when
Eileen told Julie she was
thinking of giving Jesse another chance,
Julie had to set
her sister straight. And so the
sisters started beating Jesse up with an
assortment of
blown-up toys before the cowboy
strolled out of town, defeated by a plastic
cactus. There was a
wonderful touch as Jesse turned the corner to walk
away from the Street and a comedy tumbleweed blew down the
cobbles.
Over at the
Websters', Kev's looking after the girls as Sally's gone to stay
with Aunty Phyllis. So
Neanderthal man tries to look after two teenage girls and fails
miserably. He
foregoes a
promised shopping trip with Sophie for a pint with
Tyrone and forgets to tell
Rosie to cover up her cleavage as it wobbled out of the
door 10 minutes
before Rosie
did. She's got a
new boyfriend, some footballer called Kyle who plays
for
Weatherfield
County. Not that Kevin cares, his
mind's all over the place now that Molly's back with Tyrone and up
the duff with a Webster baby, maybe.
Sophie and
Sian grew closer
this week as the teenage friends denounced men (aka dozy Ryan and a
layabout called Lee) and they got matching henna
tattoos.
Meanwhile, up
in the flat in the sky at Victoria Court,
Dev's having trouble controlling his kids in his
bachelor
pad. Little Aadi
gets stuck outside on the balcony and locked out until Graeme the
window cleaner comes to his rescue. Dev rewards
Graeme with brandy, Sunita with a hug and it's hard to know which
one Graeme enjoyed most. The episode
makes Dev realise the flat's no place to bring up kids, they need a
big house with a garden for the kids to
run around. Why then do
they end up looking at Maria's place on the Street (no space and no
garden) next week?
And finally
this week, John Stape's rumbled and sacked after lying to the
college that he didn't have a criminal
record, and he
has. I can't muster up any
sympathy for the
Stapester, he knew what he was doing was
wrong. And what's so
bad about working at
Roy's Rolls
anyway? If it's good
enough for Roy and
Hayley, it should be more than good
enough for the waste of
space that is Stape.
Coronation Street
writers this week were Martin Allen, Mark Burt, Chris Fewtrell and
Joe Turner.
