FEBRUARY 11
I trust you're sitting reading this with your best titfer
on and your buttonhole erect for we're going straight to the wedding
of Liam and Maria, or LiaMaria as I like to call them. Shame they
didn't serve TiaMaria at the reception, but you can't have
everything, so on we go.
It's the day before the wedding and
the factory girls are in party mood. Liam sends Vicky out with a
tenner and tells her to buy cakes all round. Does that mean they had
doughnuts? After cakes had been eaten and the sugar rush
kicked in, Sean and the factory girls sprinkled Liam with rose
petals and sent him home to prepare for his big day.
On the
night before the wedding Maria heads off for a sleepover at
Audrey's, leaving the coast clear for Carla to slip round and give
Liam something to think on. At Grasmere Terrace, Maria realises she
hasn't got something old, something new, something borrowed and
something blue. As Betty's at home with her varicose veins, that's
taken the old, borrowed and blue out of the equation so she's
desperate to find summat else instead. Emily comes up trumps with
the borrowed and the blue bit by offering Maria a blue scarab which
her wonderful nephew, the gorgeous Spider Nugent, sent to her from
abroad. What a lovely man he is, who could wish for a better nephew
and isn't it time he came back to Corrie? But I digress, as always
when Spider's name gets a mention. Maria nips back to the Street to
secure the scarab and spies Carla kissing Liam on the cheek. Maria
had already had her suspicions fuelled that Cruella DiVorce was
after her Liam when she found Carla with Liam in nowt but his pants
and a hat after the lads tied him semi-naked to the Weatherfield
Wayfarer bus stop on his stag night. It was a stag night that saw
Kirk wearing a blue quiff hairdo wig and Steve McDonald sported a
black and white hat. Hats, as you will see, are forming a theme in
this week's update and I'm keeping the very best hat for last. It's
even worse than that blue one of Deirdre's she once wore for a
wedding, the one that had a fascinator on the top. And that's not
something I've ever said in an update before.
The day of the
wedding dawns and Maria's in tears, she tells Liam she can't go
through wi'it because of Carla's plotting and kissing and texting
and snogging. Well, you can see why a girl could get upset. Audrey
does her best with her “ooh, now, come on Maria my love” but Maria
wants to speak to her groom. The guests fidget as they wait while
the conflab takes place. Steve checks his watch and Kelly picks her
teeth. Sally says she knew summat bad was going to happen because
she'd seen a single magpie on the way to the church. And that's
never a good sign. Outside, while Maria's having a heart to
heart with Liam, his phone gets a message from Carla herself,
telling Liam not to marry Maria when he can have her instead. You
can't blame the girl for trying, but Liam makes his choice and
marries Maria. He, Liam Barrington Connor married her, Maria Jane
Sutherland and did solemnly declare something about no lawful
impediment to become joined in matrimony. Kirk did his bit and
proudly walked his sister down th'aisle after telling her he was “in
loco parentis”, a new phrase that he'd learned from Roy. Carla was
in tears and stormed out of the reception in her hat. Yes, this is
the very hat I mentioned earlier. It takes a special face to pull
off a look like that and Carla managed it well. Think four and
twenty blackbirds, baked in a hat and piled up on top of Carla's
head. And when the girls gathered to catch Maria's bouquet, it was
Sean's arms it ended up in - a wonderful touch.
Elsewhere
this week and away from the marital moans, Jason returned from Italy
with a split lip after Sarah belted him one round the chops. He told
Gail that their marriage had ended and went to the café to say sorry
to Becky for doing a runner. He got another slap around the chops
for that too, and although Roy has never been one to condone
physical violence, even he admitted that it could have been
deserved.
And finally, over at the Barlows', it was Amy's 4th
birthday and there was cake, cards and some little friends at a
party - but where was Michelle? She was out meeting her other son,
Alex, neglecting Steve and Ryan. It's time someone had a stern talk
to that woman before she loses everyone she loves back at the ranch.
Coronation Street writers this week were Stephen Bennett,
Jayne Hollinson, Debbie Oates and Julie Jones.
And that's
just about that for this week.
