CANDY FLOSS GIRL NEEDED - APPLY WITHIN

December 8 2013

It’s a Weatherfield wedding for Carla and Peter, or as I like to call them by their celebrity name, CarPet.  Carla looks lovely in her frock made by Hayley and Peter’s almost driven to drink the night before the wedding but is saved by the doorbell when Tina turns up.  The two of them have a heart to heart before Carla returns and stops them from getting to know each other a little bit more.  Anyway, the wedding takes place somewhere posh, as you’d expect, and CarPet are hitched without too many hitches.  “I promise to help you be the best you can be,” says Carla in her vows (wasn’t that line lifted from Gillette?) But when the partying starts, Carla has too much to drink and after the do ends, Peter and Tina end up snogging while Carla snores away in the bridal suite. 

Some lovely comic moments this week when Tim decides to become a window cleaner. It’s not the career Sally would have liked her new fella to have, especially when his new job comes with a manky old van that he parks outside Sally’s house in full view of all the neighbours.  Sally’s not too put off though, as she asks Tim to move in, and knowing which side his bread is buttered, of course he says yes.  Sally’s got more on her mind when she’s left in charge of the factory as the new Mr and Mrs Barlow go off on honeymoon and she’s given the keys to the factory. “I’ll have to put these somewhere safe,” she tells Tim, waving the keys and a potential new plotline in front of Tim’s greedy eyes.

Hayley’s son Christian turns up again but this time Fiz gets to him first, warning him to back off because Hayley’s got cancer.  But Christian doesn’t back off, he returns once more with a plea for Hayley to give him five thousand pounds and in return she can see her grandchildren.  Does she fall for the sorry sob story from her son? Yes, I’m afraid that she does. Roy can’t understand it. Fiz and Ches can’t understand it and neither can I, but Hayley tells them in the Rovers that she’s had the best day ever meeting her grandkids and doesn’t begrudge Christian the cash.  A more cynical mind might ask if they were really his kids and add that he’ll be back for more dosh.

And finally this week, Dev decides to start to lose fat and keep fit. He buys himself the right gadgets, the outfits, the blood pressure monitor but doesn’t do much more than a few steps on his new treadmill in the corner shop before he decides it might not be for him. Or as Sophie says, “You’ve got all the gear, but no idea”.

And that’s just about that for this week.
