The big story of the week has been the Dirty! Dirty!
Cheese! Bang! story by which I do mean of course the sad and
untimely death of Mrs Lesley Kershaw in a plot device to kill her
off by means of chucking a plugged-in toaster into a watery kitchen
sink. So just when you
thought Eileen couldn't look any more miserable than she already
does, she does. The
cops come round to quiz Paul and Eileen over Lesley's death and
there's tears and blame at the tea-table before Eileen tells Paul to
pack his bags and go.
Trowels at the ready? Dibbers at hand? Then let's get
stuck in as preparations for Wibwee - Weatherfield in
Bloom Week - run amuck, I mean, amok. Norris and Mary hang their
pansies high but Sally's not to be out-bloomed and buys pots of
flowers to decorate her house. "I might live in Weatherfield but
Cheshire is my spiritual home," she coos to Norris when she finds
out they don't sell Vogue-y gardening mags in the Kabin. But as the Wibbers go to
war, Norris and Mary overhear insider gossip that Audrey Roberts is
going to be a Wibbly judge. "Flatter her," says Mary, formulating a
plan. "Women of her age like to hear summat
nice."
Well, Audrey deserves to
hear summat nice, that's for sure after she's caught up in David's
domestics. He's lying moping on the sofa after losing Kylie and Max
and no one can shift him, not until Nick comes in, tells David he's
starting work at the Bistro and pushes him upstairs for a change of
clothes and a bath. David doesn't take much to his job as a waiter.
He strops around the Bistro, chucking menus at his gran, dumping
water on the table and then smashing plates on the floor before
storming out. Meanwhile, as if that wasn't
enough for Gail to cope with at home, her tabard's gone all bobbly,
and there's really nothing
worse.
Over at Se7enth Hea7en
things take a turn for the ridiculous and I'm already fed up yelling
at the telly "Call the police!" but no-one seems to hear. Terry does a runner with
Tirrone's inheritance from Jack, calling it "Duckworth Money?. Tommy knows he's taken the
money but Tyrone thinks the money's been used to pay off loan shark
Rick. Meanwhile the
lone shark circles his prey and goes after Tommy to pay off Terry's
debt. "Call the
police!" Tommy says he
can't pay as he's skint but Rick says he has to. "Call the police!" And the
only way Tommy can repay Rick "Call!" is to wheedle his
way back into his job at the garage "The!" and use the garage to
hide drugs there for evil Rick. "Bloody Police!" Where's Tina when all
this is going on? She's lying in a hospital bed ? which seems to be
Corrie's favourite place for their ?strong Northern women' at the
minute ? either there or in a lapdancing club. She's there after Terry
knocked her unconscious but he lies to Tommy and tells him Rick did
it. Tina recovers of course, because they can't kill off the
official sexiest woman in soap.
Over at Underpants, Kirsty
starts work and everyone hates her but the feeling's reciprocal and
she lets them all know just how she feels. She's not shy that way. She
does however share a biscuit and a tender moment with Fiz who tells
her to think on and settle down if she wants to fit
in.
And finally this week, Karl
and Sunita (or as I like to call them by their celebrity name
TwoSmarmyTarts) get uncomfortably sexed up in a nasty kind of way.
It's too painful to watch.
And that's just about that for this week. Remember, sign
