OCTOBER 15 2012
It’s all going on at the Barlows’ this week.
Deirdre warns Ken that while he can go back to his job at
Bessie Street School, he’d better knock on the head any thoughts about
showing his kimono to Wendy flamin’ Crozier. Ken’s delighted and
polishes his shoes. “Does it make you feel a bit more BA
Honours wearing your brogues?” she harps at her hubby, clearly
put out that Wendy flamin’ Crozier, or not, Ken’s got a life
and she hasn’t.
The pair of them head off together to the Bessie Street
School Autumn Fayre where Deirdre lets rip with some wonderful
dialogue with Wendy flamin’ Crozier comes into view with her
home-made cakes.
“I don’t do existentialism” and “Where do you stand on
Manchester tarts?” she spits at WfC before gossiping with
Julie about the size of WfC’s bum. Ooh, I do love Deirdre
when she’s riled.
Mind you, Deirdre’s spare time could be spent baby
sitting if Tracy’s news that she’s pregnant by Ryan turns out to be
true. I bet it’s not.
Steve bets it’s not too and offers
Tracy a wodge of cash to have an abortion. She makes a
show of tearing up the cheque and being peeved, but if she
really was pregnant, she’d have taken the money and gone and
had it done. Mind
you, there’s a scene when Tracy swans in to the house to tell Ken she’s with
child, it’s official. But is it? Michelle and Steve fall out
over Tracy’s baby news and Steve’s less than happy when he
spots Rob comforting Michelle later, oh dear.
Over at the Rovers, Gloria takes in the first
B&B guest who falls for her charm and jam scones in the
back room of the pub.
“Come through the flap into B&B heaven,” she
croons, offering him ten kids of breakfast cereal “and we have
eggs laid locally, only two ginnels away!”. St Ella returns
early from her weekend away and isn’t best pleased to find out
what her mother is doing with charm and jam scones in the back
room, even if he is a paying guest. Actually he’s not.
He’s a judge from Lancashire Life and outs himself in front of
Stella who’s going by the name of Mrs Johannesburg and
pretending she too is a paying guest of Mrs Price. Anyway, the judge tells
Glorious Glo that she’s got nowt to worry about and the next
stage of the competition will be when a mystery drinker turns
up for a pint.
Elsewhere, Audrey returns from holiday alone. She’s
lost Lewis on the Eurostar and is in a right state. The story
is the talk of the wash house being on the front page of the
Gazette and Audrey’s aback when a mysterious blonde (not to be
confused with the mystery drinker) appears saying she knows
why Lewis ran off the Eurostar. Audrey’s aback is
taken further when this woman, Penny, says she knew Lewis as
Hugh and he’d swindled her out of a small fortune. And we were all taken
aback to find out mysterious woman Penny is really Miss Diane
from Crossroads in a blonde wig. Best line came from
Kylie commenting on Audrey’s love life: “Con men, trannies,
she dunt have much luck.”
Speaking of Kylie, she’s over the moon when Nick
asks her to work at the Bistro. David’s not happy as he wants
her under his nose and under his thumb – and sometimes both at
the same time – working for him at the salon.
And that’s just about that for this week. This week's writers were Chris Fewtrell, Carmel
Morgan, Simon Crowther.
