Big story of the week has been the reveal of
Frank Foster's killer. I like the way this story's been done because
for a long time I figured it was his mum Anne who'd done him in and
then Corrie bring in Jenny Plot-Device which threw me completely. It
doesn't take much, not at my age. And then Jenny disappears and his
mum Anne goes berserk, apologising to Carla for her son raping her
and then she tries to kill Carla with a huge kitchen knife. You
never know where you are with that Anne one. But it's Sally who first
finds out that Anne's a murdering mum and as she tries to run from
Anne's bedroom after Frank's funeral, she slips and falls on the
landing carpet, knocking herself unconscious on the banister.
Downstairs, Carla's pleading with Anne to Put The Knife Down as
Kevin, wondering where his wife's gone, sneaks in through Anne's
garage door and ends it for Anne. Carla calls 999, asks for an
ambulance for Sally, an arresting copper for Anne and a bottle of
whisky for herself.
At Nick's Bistro, Lewis gets his job back as
meeter and greeter on Coronation Streeter and everyone's happy,
especially Audrey who is back together with Lewis but having to keep
it quiet. So when Gail and David snarl at the news that Lewis is
back working for Nick, Audrey has to do a pretend snarl too while
giving Lewis the glad-eye and a cheeky wink.
Over at the Rovers, Karl and Sunita flirt
across the pumps as money goes missing from the Rovers' till. Stella accuses all her staff
of nicking dosh and upsets everyone, but it's Karl who's taken the
money to pay off his gambling debts. Sunita knows that's what's
happened but she keeps quiet. And in return for her silence, Karl
gives Sunita a kiss up the ginnel. Oh, how I love slipping that
one into an update.
Bacon barm Brian is a healthy-eating
hypocrite as he berates Kylie for bringing in chips for Max at
school and then gorges himself on a pie and a pint in the pub. Kylie's not best pleased
having Brian tell her what she can and can not feed her son for
school lunch and when Brian sticks his butty in about it, he ends up
with chips and peas all down his front. He marches off home, covered
in grease and green peas and Kylie decides to take Max out of school
to teach him at home, where she can feed him all the chips his
little heart desires. Until it clogs up, of course.
Meanwhile, Leanne tells Peter she's going
for custody of little Simon as he's clearly too drunk to take care
of his son. Whether Leanne is doing this out of the goodness of her
heart for what she feels for little Simon or out of the badness of
her heart for what she feels against Peter running off with Carla,
well, it's all kind of mixed up right now.
And finally this week, Tina asks Tommy out
on a date. A proper date, requiring a wash, a clean shirt and with
dinner and everything.
