Owen returned from working away this week but soon left again, only this time with a bag packed and without a woman in his life. Yes, Owen and Anna have split up, ended and gone their separate ways after Owen returned from Aberdeen only to blurt out to Gary that his mum had slept with Phelan. It wasn’t Owen’s place to tell Anna’s son, I felt, and I certainly felt Anna’s fury and anger towards Owen as he told Gary the truth. It was a nasty thing to do. “I’ll never forgive you for this,” Anna tells Owen. Owen asks Anna to give them another try. “I could learn to forgive you in time,” he says, but it’s too little too late for Anna. She doesn’t say anything and Owen takes her silence with all the meaning it’s loaded with, packs his bags and go.
Tina’s mum arrives this week. You remember Tina’s mum? No, me neither. Well, I sort of recall she turned up and did a bit of moping when Tina’s dad died and then she disappeared for decades and now she’s back, doing a mock-grieve for a daughter she’s pretending she once loved. It’s not convincing, I tell you. Carla goes off the rails after being taken in for questioning by the cops, again, over Tina’s murder while Rob stands by and watches his sister go into full-scale mental melt-down, refusing to take the rap for what he’s done.
Tim buys Sally an engagement ring from Barlow’s Buys, thinking that getting engaged is what Sally wants. Sally accepts the ring, thinking it’s what Tim wants and they both agree to a quiet, long engagement before they get wed, thinking it’s what the other one wants. It’s not what either of them want and it doesn’t take long for it all to fall wonderfully apart in a glorious scene in the Rovers. Julie drags all the girls from Underworld along to the pub for Sally and Tim’s engagement party. She’s planned a power ballad on the juke box but The Birdy Song plays instead. And with a little bit of this, and a little bit of that, now shake your bum, tra-la-la-la-la, Tim removes the engagement ring from Sally’s finger, they hug and declare they’re quite content, thank you very much, to continue to live in sin and over the brush.
Todd drags Marcus to the Bistro for cocktails and gets him giggling drunk. In drink Marcus tells Todd he loves him and Todd knows now he’s got Marcus where he wants him – under his thumb and with his fingers in his wallet. Todd confides to Tony (Tony?) in the Rovers that he doesn’t love Todd. “At his age? On his wage?” and is already considering moving on to pastures new.
And finally this week, Norris is having problems with paper-girl Chelsea Trainers. He ponders on while thumbing his copy of Lady Time magazine. Wonderful stuff.
And that was just about that for this week.
This week's writers were John Kerr and Mark Burt
(Monday), Jonathan Harvey (Wednesday), Jan McVerry (Friday double).
