Over at Weatherfield General there's a bombshell
dropped when the ultrasound confirms two heartbeats - it's twins for
Tracy and Steve! She's not sure she can cope with two more babies as
well as Amy and in what appeared to be a genuine plea to Steve,
Tracy tells him she's going to have an abortion, she can't cope with
being a single parent to three kids. Steve does the right thing and
tells her he'll stick by her but it's not enough for our Tracy, she
always wants more, and this time she gets it when Steve agrees to be
her fella and they are now officially an item. I'd love to see these
two get wed in the nastiest, cheesiest McBar Corrie wedding that's
ever been seen. In the
church, Steve's mum Liz can seethe at her son's side. Deirdre can
wear a mad fascinator, little Amy can be bridesmaid and Ken can fall
asleep. Now that
Tracy and Steve are together, she tries and fails to lord it over
Stella in the pub. I've
still not warmed to Stella at all, not one little bit, and I've
tried really hard, really I have. But if there was one way that
Corrie could get us fans to like Stella, it'd be to have her clamp
down, and hard, on toxic Tracy-luv, ?cos someone has got
to.
Carla's still staying at Maria's flat and gets a
visit from Stella who shares news with her that she too was raped.
She gives Carla some wise advice, to get back on her life, the
sooner the better. Fired up after their talk, Carla swans back into
work only to find Frank's evil mum acting as his proxy for his 40%
share in Underworld now that Frank's been released out on bail. "'ll
be watching you, ladeh!" I think (hoped) she told Carla.
At Lloyd and Cheryl's, Chris gets some good news
from the hospital although needs another scan to confirm if he's
getting better or not. Does he share this good news? No he does not,
in fact he pretends he's getting worse so that Cheryl will feel
sorry for him and he can get back with her. His evil plan looks like
it just might work too. What a nasty piece of work he is. Wrong move
of the week though, Corrie when Lloyd and Cheryl were sharing a
tender moment on their sofa in the house, the soundtrack was all
wrong. There is no way in high heaven that Lloyd would ever listen
to Simply Red, not in a million years.
Over at the Barlow's, it's Ken's 72nd
birthday and Deirdre's present is a hand-made pottery gift where Ken
can put his nuts. They're peanut bowls! she shrieks in delight as
she dances around the living room to Hooked on Classics in a
wonderful little scene.
And that's just about that for this
week.
