OCTOBER 20
It's been murder week on Corrie this week, or as they say
in Hart to Hart, it wuz moyder. Yes, pretty boy Connor met his maker
on the tarmac when he was hit by a car on Tony's stag do. At the
same time as the drama unfolded, back at the Rovers a male stripper
was putting a smile on Rita's face with his full frontal frippery as
the girls gathered to celebrate Carla's hen night. Carla had a
‘Learner' sign strung around her neck but I'd reckon there's not
many new tricks that one could be taught. On the stag and hen night,
Carla realised she loved Liam, he realised he loved her and she was
just on her way to tell him when Maria announced she had Liam's bun
in her oven. Carla knew that if it came to a choice between Liam's
child and her, she'd lose out so she pretended she didn't love Liam
after all, and had a few tears and a fag outside of the pub. Deirdre
joined her, for the fag part, and asked Carla if everything was all
right. “Nowt a bit o'lippy won't sort out,” Carla replied. “Now
that's a motto to live your live by,” noted Deirdre.
Back in
the Rovers, the stripper brought out his whipped cream. “Ooh, we
have this on our apple crumble!” screamed Deirdre although I doubt
Ken's Cox's Pippin was ever as big. The girls partied hard at the
pub, Carla put a brave face on and the stags went hunting for some
semi-naked tarts. They found them at the TT Bar but best man Liam
had forgotten his wallet and so Tony demanded he go back to the last
pub they were in to find it. Liam turned to walk back to the pub and
that's when a car screamed out of nowhere, straight for him and ran
him over in a hit and run. As the stags gathered round Liam's dead
body on the ground, Maria turned up with her baby news only to find
her husband, dead, but still nice and warm. She took Liam's hand and
pressed it to the baby bump with tears in her eyes. It was too much
for the other lads to bear and they turned away as Maria told a dead
Liam that he was going to be a dad. And later, just in case we
were ever in any doubt that Tony Gordon had anything to do with the
loss of Liam, we see him throwing Liam's wallet into the canal and
giving his henchman a wad of used notes. Liam's parents fly in from
Ireland and Maria's are coming in from Cyprus for more tea and tears
than they all know what to do with. It's going to take more than a
bit o'lippy to sort this one out.
Elsewhere, there were more
tears when the police come to interview Kevin about Rosie's
disappearance. After they leave, Kev tells Sophie he's failed as a
father and despite his youngest daughter telling him he's the best
dad in the world, he reaches out in desperation for the whisky
bottle while The Cars' Who's Gonna Drive You Home put a lump in my
throat and tears rolled down Kev's face. Earlier that evening,
he'd been treated to home made stew by Aunty Pam and after a few of
her beers told the story of When Kevin Met Sally: he drove through a
puddle in his van, splashed her and offered to clean up her boots.
“And you've been licking them ever since,” noted Sophie, who was in
tears herself this week too. She had to fess up to Sally and Kev
that she was the one who sent the threatening “Sophie's Next”
postcard because she was sick of Rosie being the centre of their
universe while she just orbited like a rusting
satellite.
Meanwhile, we found out this week that Rosie's
being held captive by John in the attic of his gran's house in the
middle of a field. “I'm going to feed the cat,” he tells Fiz as he
takes a bag full of stale bread to feed Rosie. “Where's me HobNobs
and Heat Magazine?” she yells at John when he turns up with the
food, clearly their relationship not reaching Stockholm Syndrome
just yet.
Up in the new flat at Victoria Court, Amber gets
set for seducing Darryl. She tells Molly that she's ready to go all
the way which I guess means she wants to go to Rosamund Street, but
what do I know? However, any hopes of a romantic night in are
thwarted when David and Tina turn up to spoil their fun but that
doesn't stop the young couple going for another try on a much
quieter night when Dev is out smooching Prem's daughter Tara.
Tina started work in the Kabin this week which comes as a
relief to Rita but Norris isn't pleased, oh no. David joked about
Tina's new job, telling his girlfriend: “I can just see you in 40
years time, hair up in a beehive, dispensing sherbet crystals!” Ooh,
we can only hope so. Tina's also noticed that Gail and her dad
Joe have started getting cosy. Ted's already in on the secret, of
course. He knows everything, does Ted, he's great.
And that's
just about that for this week.
Coronation Street writers this
week were Jan McVerry, Simon Crowther (the man who killed off Liam
Connor), Chris Fewtrell, David Lane and Mark
Wadlow.
