SEPTEMBER 1
Vernon goes all out to get Liz back. He takes time
away from work in the caff to write special lyrics for Liz. One
song's called “Ice and a Slice (Of my Heart)”. He's big on brackets,
is Vernon. But the one that does it for Liz and he sings to her in
full in the back room of the pub was called “(Don't Fall Into) The
Mason's Arms”. It were wonderful, it really was. But it almost cost
him his job in Roy's Rolls when Roy took Ken back on as he needed
the extra help and Ken's got nowt else to do.
Meanwhile, over
at Dev's flat, Smita Smitten, Showbiz Kitten (aka Nina) gets her
claws in and carries Dev off for a dirty weekend. It must have been
really filthy as she spent most of the weekend having a passion
fruit spa bath. Passion fruit, dear? With all those pips? For fans
of Devendra, a dirty weekend in a hotel meant there were lots of
scenes of him rolling around on the duvet in a towelling gown with
his legs spread at an inappropriate angle for a man of his age while
Nina prowled the bedroom and played with his balls. His golf balls,
dear, his golf balls. Well I don't know… can *you* explain why Dev
was playing golf in the bedroom? The way she sunk her nails into the
balls made my eyes water but at least Dev scored a hole in one. I
just wish it'd been an Arnold Palmer bedroom. He could have got the
ball through the hole in the windmill, made Nina's lights flash,
sails spin and receive a token for another free try. However, Dev's
not happy when he realises that he's the latest in a long line of
men that Nina takes to the hotel for sexy weekends. And when Dev's
feeling insecure, he fiddles with his wedding ring, which was a nice
little touch. He wants to cool things with Nina but hasn't the nerve
and when he tries, she warns him that if he dumps her, she will tell
Prem to cut him out of his Manchester Asian Business Network. “I'm
urging you, as your goddess, to have a rethink,” Nina purrs into
Dev's ear. That was such a good line, I'm planning to use it
myself this week, possibly in the supermarket when we do the weekly
shop on Thursday and my lovely man picks up the wrong flavour Gypsy
Creams.
Someone who could do with the comfort that only a
packet of Gypsy Creams can bring is Sean because Marcus has gone off
with a fella. Or at least that's what Sean thinks. And indeed, it's
what Todd told Eileen when he rang up from that London place to say
he'd seen Marcus in a nightclub with a man. Marcus is supposed to be
in London to do botox, not boozing or boys, and when Sean finds out
that the man Marcus was with was Noel, his ex, he's all needy and
pleady. That is, until Marcus rings and admits he's with Noel in
that London place again and Sean hangs up his phone and cuts Marcus
off in his prime. There'll be no more consensual texts between the
two of them.
However, over the road there's more romance
going on that you can shake a stick at. David and Tina get back
together and are all loved up but only after he uses and abuses
Amber's crush on him to make Tina jealous. Poor Amber. She was
dolled up to the nines like a right bobby dazzler, ready for
snogging on the sofa with her paramour du jour. When she realises
she's been stitched up, she's in bits and Molly comforts her by the
counter in the corner shop. But wait, there's more. As Tina
and David snuggle up again, Tina's dad and David's mum get in a
tangle too. It's still at the white wine stage, we haven't
progressed much from last week I'm afraid but there's been kissing
and giggling going on in that Platt house. Gail decides to cool
things with Joe when she sees how happy David is with Tina and she
can't put him through having another fella come into their lives to
disrupt things again. Joe leaves for a business trip to Berwick and
tells Gail to think on. Father Ted accosts Gail after he spots her
with Joe. He leads her to the Rovers, encouraging her to spill all
her secrets over a pint in the pub. “Drink! Feck! Girls!” he never
said, but next time he's on screen, watch closely, he just might.
Elsewhere, the big story this week was Jerry falling and
hitting his head. Now then, the last time someone fell and hit their
head in that living room was Charlie Stubbs doing himself an injury
after he'd been given a good thwonking over th'ead by Tracy Barlow.
It has history, that living room, history. So Jerry's brain starts
bleeding, he has to have his head drilled and he survives, Theresa
confesses, Jerry throws her out of th'ospital room and she asks him
not to tell the kids she's been trying to kill him. It's a shame
Jerry Morton's leaving. He's kind of growing on me now although
he'll always be Sinbad.
At Underworld, Julie's covering for
Sally while she's on her jollies with the Webster clan. She fits in
well does Julie, but I want to know what she's doing working in the
factory. Didn't she have a job as a customer services operative
slash personal communicator or something?
And that's just
about that for this week.

Five things we
learned in Corrie this week.
1. Vernon can
sing better than he can write lyrics 2. Ken
likes buttered Pikelets 3. Fallow is not a word
that's included often enough in songs 4.
Cushions made from material costing £66 per square metre should
always be plumped 5. Roy Cropper just keeps on
getting more cute
Coronation Street writers this week were
Julie Jones, Debbie Oates, Carmel Morgan and Lucy Gannon. A full
female writing week.
