CORONATION STREET WEEKLY UPDATES |
|
NEW FOR
KINDLE... JUNE 3 2013 Hello everyone. For those of you who have been with me from the
very start of writing these updates, you’ll know we’ve been together, week
in, week out, for over 18 years.
I started writing these weekly updates back in 1995 for th’internet
and they’ve usually, more or less, been emailed to you every Monday or
Tuesday reporting the week’s events on the cobbles ending with the
episodes on a Monday night. Well, 18 years is a long time for anyone to
stick to a routine so I hope you’ll forgive me for changing things a
little. I’m now going to be
writing and sending the weekly updates over a weekend covering the week’s
events from Monday to Friday inclusive. And so without any further ado,
here we go with this week's Coronation Street update Baby Windass-McIntyre-possibly-Duckworth was born this week when
Tina went into labour early in the Rovers Return. Fortunately for Tina she
was rushed to hospital in time to deliver her premature baby boy in safety
although he’s now spending time in a special baby unit. And it was also fortunate for
Stella that Tina got to hospital in time. Well, you wouldn’t want waters
breaking all over the new fabrics in the refurbished pub, would you? Anyway, Tina and Izzy are in tears
at the sight of their new baby but Izzy tells Gary she wants nowt to do
with him after she finds out he tried to kiss Tina on the soft furnishings
the other week. She even bans
him from seeing the baby, but he sneaks in when Izzy’s not there and Tina
lets Gary see his son. It’s
very intense and emotionally charged, and when Izzy arrives at th’ospickle
to find Gary gazing at the baby, she chucks a mental and it’s left to Tina
to step in to sort things out. She tells them to sort themselves out and
bans them both from seeing the baby until they do so. But as Izzy simmers with anger at
Gary, he pleads to fix things with Izzy. “Fix it?” she yells at him “It’s
not a poxy vase. It’s us. It’s my heart!”, But it’s Tina they should both
be keeping an eye on as she starts developing a bond with her baby, their
baby. Sally’s been wonderful this week. She gets tipsy in the Rovers,
drinking alone and bemoaning the fact she hasn’t got a fella. In fact she gets so tipsy that she
tells Norris: “You’re a silly
little man. A nasty little elf. A nasty little bald elf.” Which is fair
enough, I’d say, and then to Steve: “You’re a nice bald elf,” which is
also pretty spot on. Jenna
and Sophie help Sally create an online profile for an internet dating site
and then go shopping with her for new clothes to help her create the
persona she wants to project –
dynamic, mysterious and witty – rather than the way she’s currently
perceived – beans meanz tea. Over at Underworld, there’s stolen silk shenanigans going on. Rob
and Tracy stole the silk from Carla last week and have it holed up in a
lock-up. Carla does some
ringing around and finds out from (and I love this next bit for both the
alliteration and the mention of my home city) Sandra at Saunders of
Sunderland – that a woman has been on the phone to her offering some silk
at a knock down price. Carla
tells Sandra to arrange a time and place to meet the woman, who is of
course Tracy and Carla turns up instead when Rob’s expecting Sandra at
Saunders of Sunderland’s Manchester rep. In exchange for not dobbing Rob
into the cops, Carla tells her brother that she wants his shares of
Underworld back. “Sign up or go down,” she growls, proving she’s got the
size of balls that her brother can only dream of. So, not only has Rob
fallen out with his sister, lost his job and his factory shares, he also
gets short shrift from Deirdre when Tracy takes him home for a spot of tea
and telly. Deirdre’s not best pleased when she finds out what’s going on.
She tells Tracy: “Get him outta my house!” names him Flash Harry and calls
him scum. I love Deirdre when she’s on fire like
that. And finally this week, Stella and Karl go to dinner at Dev’s.
Stella thinks she’s being matey to a friend and a neighbour while Karl’s
conscience tries, and fails, to give him a hard time over sharing a bottle
of Freshco red with the husband of the woman he murdered in the Rovers
fire. And
that's just about that for this week. Remember, you can sign up to get
