This week was a schad week
on Coronation Street as Schmeichel the Great Dane schnuffed it and
went to the kennel in the schy. The dog fell ill with liver cancer
and Chesney was torn between spending money on vet bills and
operations that could make his pet worse, or doing right by Kateh
and the babeh and saving his cash. With bailiffs banging on the door
for overdue rent, Owen loans Chesney and Katy some money which
Chesney blows on vet's bills for the dog. Even Kirk knows that
Chesney's putting good money after bad and he says: "If he could
talk, he'd say ?Ches, dude, no more operations'." And so, the dog
dies and Chesney's in bits. But I'm just glad that with the big
four-footed fella gone, I won't have to figure out how to spell
Schmeichel in the weekly update any more. It ain't been easy,
folks.
There were more tears and puppy-dog eyes over at
Lloyd's house this week when he breaks down as Chris tells him he
and Cheryl have been having a fling behind his back and under his
roof. Craig Charles played a blinder this week as Lloyd, and for
this fan, stole every scene he was in. I didn't shed a tear when
Schmike.. Shemiek.. the big dog died, but I did well up when Lloyd
broke down. Steve does his best to cheer up his mate and there
were some lovely scenes between the two of them. To add to
Lloyd's heartbreak, he's got a bad back and is in shock and awe when
he finds out that Katy and Chesney Brown plan to call their baby
James, and they'd never even heard of the soul legend. "There's a
whole generation who doesn't know who James Brown is," sighs Lloyd,
before he has another little cry.
Anyway, you remember how
Carla lost her workforce, her orders, her machinists, her money, her
oomph? Well, fear not because she's swanned off to Los Angeles to,
in the modern parlance of the day, get her head together, and while
she's away the factory's only been gone and saved by Michelle. Yes,
Michelle has morphed into Ms Business overnight and will be
appearing on the Apprentice next week where Lord Alan Sugar will
hire her because she's got right shiny hair. So, Michelle and Ciaran
are now engaged and swanned back onto the Street this week, fresh
from cruising around wherever it is they've been cruising, doing
whatever it is they've been doing. Michelle saves the factory, gets
Carla's machinists back to work and with Nick Tilsley's help secures
a new order too. And all this while Ciaran looks moodily on,
has a beer with Peter and tells Michelle he doesn't want to get
married after all, he wants to go back on the cruise
ship.
On a lighter
note, and I love this Corrie coupling, Brian takes Julie to the Red
Rec for a night out spotting little green men. He's into UFOs is
Brian and although their night on a blanket is romantic for Julie,
they don't spot anything unusual in the sky. When Tommy and
Tyrone find out what Brian's up to, they decide to make their own
UFO to try to fool him in the darkness next time he takes Julie out
UFO spotting. Best dialogue of the week came from Tommy this
week in Tyrone's living room as they're rigging up the flying
saucer. Tommy: "Get Tina a can." Tyrone: "Why can't you get
her a can?" Tommy: "Cos I'm holding a UFO with a fishing rod, that's
why." Classic Corrie, wonderful stuff.
Mind you,
Tyrone's new girlfriend Kirsty isn't best pleased. Although she and
Tyrone are getting along fine, she's jealous of Tina and tells her
she doesn't want her swanning around the house wearing nowt but a
towel when she's fresh out the bath. Tina's got more things to
worry about as Matt takes her out for a meal with his middle-class
medical mates and a nasty ex-girlfriend of his joins their night in
Nick's Bistro. Tina gets patronized and Matt does little to
defend her, so she tells him where he can stick his
stethoscope. Ooh, it's
here.
And that's just
about that for this week..
This week's writers were Martin
Allen, Mark Wadlow, Joe Turner, Carmel Morgan and Simon Crowther.
