Now then, cast your mind back to
last week as we wander back to Weatherfield and the Websters'
dilemma of what to do with shifty- baby Jack. Kevin comes up with a
solution to save his relationship with Sally and offers
shifty-babyJack to the even shiftier Aunty Pam and his dad Bill.
Shifty- baby Jack sits in his pushchair and takes it all in. You
just know he'll be back in fifteen years time roaming the cobbles
looking for Kevin, with an axe in his hand and revenge on his mind.
Well, would you want to live with Aunty Pam? Anyway, Pam says she'll
have shifty-baby Jack but Kevin doesn't know if he can give him
away. Meanwhile, Sally sheds another tear into her kitchen
sink.
Elsewhere, Sunita's cleavage joins the cast of Carry on
Barmaid and Karl plays barmaid bingo ? eyes down, look in. I hate
this storyline, it's horrible. If Sunita was always far too good for
Dev ? and she always was ? then she's worth a million of Karl. He's
sleazy, mucky, a gambler, a cheat and a thief. Run, Sunita, run! And
put a sports bra on first!
Norris puts out the pansies this
week as the Weatherfield in Bloom competition kicks off. "Not too
sparse, not too dense, a beautiful riot of colour!" I thought he was
talking about Rita's hair but it's his hanging basket he was
praising instead.
Julie's rushed into th'ospickle, because
as luck would have it in the world of soap, a cancellation arises
and she's whipped into the ward to have her ovaries removed. A
biopsy is taken and we're still waiting to find out if she has
cancer or not. This is a sad and moving storyline, even if the
moving part has been whisked on far too quickly.
Meanwhile,
terrible Terry causes trouble for Tommy, Ti-roan and Tina. Ooh, I
love alliteration, me, I always `ave. "I swear on me mother's
ashes!" Terry lies through his teeth as he denies being involved
with a bent councillor, as a nation booed him from our sofas for
taking the name of St. Vera in vain. Terry's then troubled by thugs
who turn up demanding cash, which Tommy blindly pays from his
inheritance, thinking he's protecting his dad, but he's not. There's
still more cash to be paid and this time the debt collector comes
knocking himself, and who should it be but Rick, the nasty piece of
work who hounded Tina's dad Joe McIntyre back in the
day.
Poor Ti-roan, though. As if he hasn't got enough on his
plate losing his bessie mate Tommy and having terrible Terry back on
the Street. He gets whacked by Kirsty this week when she lamps him
with a ladle after losing her job with the rozzers. Tyrone's black
and blue and has a split lip but doesn't tell anyone that Kirsty
caused it, he's too embarrassed and loved up, still, despite
everything she's done. He even puts a word in with Carla at the
factory and gets Kirsty a new job working in Underpants.
And
finally this week, as Paul and Eileen are just about to set off and
jet off on holiday to Cyprus, Paul gets a call from the care home to
say Lesley's gone missing. He heads home to find her there and
brings her back to the Street as an impatient Eileen's wondering if
she's going to get abroad at all. But there's a broad (see what I
did there?) on Paul's mind that takes precedence over Eileen. Paul
tries to put Lesley into his car so he can drive her back to the
care home and as he's pushing her in the car, she falls and bangs
her head on the cobbles. It's too much for Eileen to take and she
bursts into tears indoors as Lesley lays injured outside and Norris
looks on with a beady look in his eye. If I were Eileen, I'd get on
that bloody plane and go to Cyprus meself, I really would.
