Tracy goes for an interview
at the florist shop in the precinct, leaving little Amy at home with
Uncle James who hushes little Amy when a surveyor comes and inspects
the Barlow residence at James' request. He threatens Amy if she
tells anyone that there was a man in the house when everyone else
was out, her mum'll go back to prison and everyone she's ever loved
will just disappear. Amy spills the beans eventually to her mum
which fuels Tracy's suspicions that James is up to no good (he's
not). Not only has he had the Barlow house surveyed and valued, he's
now awaiting the cheque so he can naff off with the equity from his
grandad's house leaving Ken and Deirdre high and dry. Ooh, he's a
bad ?un, that James (he is). One of the best scenes of the week was
Tracy playing her tapes, singing along to Bros? "when will I, will I
be famous... when will I get my picture in the papers??" When you
twonk your boyfriend over the head with an ornament and get put away
in the big house for manslaughter for 15 years, Tracy-luv, that's
when.
Over at the factory it's all
go when Sally steps up to the supervisor role as Hayley's at home
looking after baby Hope. Carla and Frank need someone in charge as
they plan a romantic tryst to Rome leaving the girls and Sean at
their machines. Yes, Carla and Frank are now An Item although Carla
still wants to get into Peter's pants and snogs him upstairs in the
flat while Leanne lays in hospital. But let's rewind just a bit.
Leanne in hospital, you say? She and Peter argued about Carla, of
course, and after Peter stormed out of the flat Leanne went after
him, lost her footing at the top of the stairs and tumbled to the
bottom. The impact of the fall made her miscarry their baby and as
she lies in her hospital bed, heartbroken, Peter's fighting off
Carla's advances in the Barlow marital home. He tries, he really
does, and eventually, but not as decisively as Corrie fans up and
down the country would have liked, he tells Carla to leave him alone
and the he heads for the hospital to see his broken wife. Stella's
also in there quick sharp, catching Leanne when she's at her
weakest, offering her a brittle-snap hug and pretending it's
motherly love.
Speaking of which, there's two
types of mothering going on at Roy's Rolls. We've got Hayley looking
after baby Hope while Fiz is in pris, and Sylvia and Roy finally
building bridges and making amends for years of neglecting each
other. It's wonderful stuff to watch and extremely well acted by
all. Watching Roy change baby Hope's nappy, wearing his yellow
marigolds was a joy.
Sean wants his fifteen minutes
of fame this week, for son Dylan at least, when he spots a Face of
Freshco competition for kids aged 4 or under. Problem is, he can't
take the time off work to take Dylan to the photo shoot so Marcus
takes the kid instead, the photographer takes a fancy to Marcus and
Dylan's through to the final of the Face of Freshco, soon to appear
on a TV ad. But when Sean's found out that Dylan's going to be
famous without him, he throws a strop, barges into the photoshoot
and ends up being thrown out. Marcus and Dylan walk out in support
and Sean's pushy dad routine almost ruins the family
unit.
And finally this week, Owen
Armstrong becomes Anna's new landlord when he buys the house from
Jerry Morton (remember him?) for a knock-down price. I don't like
the glint in Owen's nasty eyes when Anna invites him for tea. No, I
don't like it, one little bit.
And
that's just about that for this week.
This week's writers were David
Lane, Debbie Oates, Jayne Hollinson, Joe Turner and John Kerr. Find
