Frank Foster's dead. He's been killed, he is
deceased, he is no more. He is dead. Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead.
But whodunnit? And whydatheydoit? Could it be Peter "I'll kill him
stone cold dead. If ever a man deserved to die, it's him"Barlow? Or
maybe it's Kevin "I'll kill him, I'll rip him apart with me bare
hands"Webster? Or maybe
it's Sally, Carla or Michelle. Those are the five suspects thrown at
us by ITV but we Corrie fans think we're smarter than that for we
think it could be Frank's mum Anne who's done her boy in, or his new
lover Jenny. Will we be right? We'll have to wait and see. Actually I know but I'm not
allowed to tell you. Insert evil laugh here. Mind you, I'll say this
for myself, I am open to bribes. Insert another evil laugh
and a wink thrown in for free.
Before Frank got killed, Peter started
drinking again, heavily again, after a visit from a guy from the
Gambling Commission intent on checking the books at the bookies.
Peter offers to make him a cuppa. "Sugar?"he asks. "No
thanks,"Gambling man replies. "Sweet enough, eh?"jokes Peter and
without missing a beat Gambling man goes: "No, Type 2
Diabetes."Ouch.
So Peter's having problems caused by Frank
and hits the booze again. Carla comes to his aid and joins him in
with a whisky or ten and the two of them get inebraet..
inerbreiated? very drunk together and are wonderful to watch.
They're horrible drunks, nasty drunks the pair of them, fighting
over a whisky bottle just as Leanne walks in: "Oh, so this is love,
is it?"
Carla tells Frank she'll sell him the bleedin'
factory just to get rid of him out of her life and she signs the
contracts thinking she'll be getting a load of work that's been
promised from Jenny Sumner. But it's all a load of pants as Carla
finds out that Jenny's double-crossed her in the gusset game, she
was after Frank all along, not Carla's frillies.
Then Sally breaks the news to the factory
girls that they're going to be out of work once Frank rules the
Underworld so everyone's got reason to hate him. But which one
killed him? Go on then, have a guess.
Away from murder and mayhem there's been
some bonding over pottery going on at Number 13 when Ken and Deirdre
meet Beth's son Craig.
And he spoke! To Deirdre! About
pots!
Over at the Bistro Lewis goes in for a meal.
"Table for one,"he asks Gail. "Table for one what?"she snarls
back. He's up in court
for the money fraud he committed last time he was around and gets
community service but Audrey's still giving him the glad eye, even
if he is wearing a high-vis jacket with graffiti remover
running down his legs. Nick's also taken with the cad's
charm after Lewis is suave and sophisticated around the Weatherfield
Gazette restaurant reviewer and Nick offers Lewis a job. Lewis is
now the Bistro meeter and greeter in Coronation
Streeter.
In the Rovers, one of them wide-screen,
huge-arse telly's go up on the wall, the sort of telly that needs a
wide-screen, huge-arse satellite dish to sit on the roof of the pub.
The only people happy about any of this is Karl who ordered it and
Tez the TV man who put it up for a free pint and a glance down
Sunita's top at the bar.
None of the punters are happy to have to shout above the
volume of the new telly and it causes interference on Ken and
Deirdre's TV next door. There's nowt
worse.
