CORONATION STREET WEEKLY UPDATES |
|
NEW FOR
KINDLE... October 19 2013 With apologies that there was no update last week. Events conspired against me although it was all in a good cause as I was attending a very special Coronation Street press event in Blackpool. And then episodes went askew because of schedule changes, so here we go with a round-up of two weeks worth of words from Weatherfield. First off, the big story of the week, indeed possibly the year or let’s face it, one of the biggest storylines that Corrie’s ever had – is Roy and Hayley in Blackpool. With an itinerary in one hand: "At 4.30pm I have scheduled in some time for spontaneity" and a candy floss in the other, Roy walks along the prom with a stuffed elephant in his bag after winning it on the slots for Hayley. This was such a touching episode, with the pair of them paddling in the sea and then Hayley drags Roy to see a fortune teller. The Corrie clairvoyant reads trouble in the cards but hides it well from the Croppers and when she hears that Hayley would have loved to have danced in the tower ballroom but it’s closed for maintenance, she hits on a plan. The fortune teller tells Hayley and Roy to return to the ballroom and divines that Hayley will dance. Roy thinks it’s all a load of cobblers but to his surprise, the ballroom is open when they return and the pair of them foxtrot around the floor to the mighty Wurlitzer. "Thanks, mother!" yells the tower ballroom manager to his mum up in the balcony, who turns out to be the fortune teller herself. I think I might have had something in my eye at this point… Back home in Weatherfield, Hayley tells Roy she wants to choose when she dies, not letting the cancer dictate when she goes. Roy can’t get his head around this, not one bit, and they argue and row, with Hayley walking out and moving in with Fiz. Elsewhere, Nick wakes up from his coma and demands that David does a DNA test on Lily. The test results return showing a very strong possibility that David’s the daddy, which is good news for David but the truth all comes out at Lily’s christening - the Christmas night wedding shag-fest, the flat break-in, the Bistro bother, the car crash, everything. Gail chucks David out of the house, calling him evil and likening him to Richard Hillman. Audrey sacks David from the salon, Leanne strops off to stay with Toyah and Nick moves back in with Gail. Over at Underworld, Eva gets a new job as PA to Peter, and Sally’s not best pleased that someone else has been given the job she thinks is rightfully hers. And at the pub, a rover returns when leggy Liz McDonald walks through the door. She’s back from Spain to run the pub that she’s half-bought with Steve, leaving Michelle shell-shocked. It’s not long though before Liz and Michelle form a pact against Steve to keep him on his toes, and Michelle’s dad Barry moves into the pub. There was a funny scene when Barry tries to chat up Liz after having a few too many drinks. Michelle orders him out of the pub. "That’s it!" he says, "Oim off ter the Floying Arms!". Liz replies: "Is that the Weatherfield Arms or the Flying Horse?" "I’m going ter both" he shouts before stumbling out the door. And in other news, Dennis is skint. He’s also got Rita’s engagement ring in his pocket which he’s supposed to take to the jewelry shop to get cleaned. The ring, you’ll remember, belonged to his mum Elsie. And what does Dennis do? He only goes and takes it to Barlow’s Buys and sells it to Tracy for a fraction of its worth. Rita’s going to string him up like Christmas lights when she finds out. And that's just about that for this week.
