Big story of the week has been Mol and Ty’s wedding. It’s also Amber’s
18th and Tara’s arranged a joint party with Molly’s hen night up in Dev’s
flat. It starts off well, there’s nibbles and a hunk but then it goes pear
shaped, as you knew it would. Jackie Dobbs spots Graeme in the Rovers, he’s
doing the food for the girls and Jackie asks him if he knows where Molly’s
do is taking place as she hasn’t been invited. And in a wonderful scene with
perfect comic timing, Graeme and Jackie introduce themselves to each other.
“Buffet,” Graeme says by way of introduction. “Hiya Buffy, I’m Jackie, pleased
to meet you.” Anyway, Jackie ends up stripping Graeme half-naked at the
party, he prances about waving his sausage, things get smashed, food gets
squashed on the carpet and the whole thing gets well and truly Jackie’d.
Over at the Flying Horse things don’t go much better at Tyrone’s stag
do. There’s Jack with his words of wisdom and the lads raise a glass to
Vera, which was nice. There’s Jason with his drinking head on and Kev in
his best shirt with Ashley and Dev looking on. Tyrone gets a call in the
pub from Aunty Pam who tells him she wants him to make contact with a shady
fella called Dave in the pub who’s buying some fake sunspecs, RoyBans, from
her on Monday. Monday? But that’s Tyrone’s wedding day! Anyway, Tyrone turns
up in the pub trying to flog shady Dave the sunspecs but he turns out to be
an undercover cop and he slaps the cuffs on Tyrone just as Molly’s about to
set off for the church. And set off she does, in her own little carriage with
a view of the backside of two white horses plodding in front. But when she
reaches the church, there’s no sign of Tyrone and the carriage has to do
a few rounds of the grounds during which Molly ends up in tears of worry over
where Tyrone’s gone, Amber’s hangover’s kicks in and Aunty Pam’s fascinator
no longer does what it says on the tin.
But anyway, Tyrone finally gets there and after fainting at the altar
through stress and nerves, he goes through with the wedding and Molly Cozette
(I know! Cozette?) and Tyrone Sylvester become the new Mr and Mrs Dobbs.
Jack walks Molly up the aisle and a right big tear found itself in the corner
of my eye, it really did. The only thing Tyrone need worry about now is how
to tell Molly he’s been nicked for selling stolen goods and instead of partying
at the Rovers to celebrate the wedding he has to go to the cop shop to turn
himself in.
Elsewhere this week, Steve tries and fails to come to terms with Lloyd
lusting after his mum. In the bookies, Lloyd puts a tenner on a horse called
‘Sexy Mother’ to win. It’s probably a right old nag but Lloyd’s in lurve
and Steve’s not best pleased that his mum and his best mate are at it. You
know, it.
Steve’s got more problems when he lies to barmcake Becky that he’s finished
with Michelle when he hasn’t. Becky’s over the moon that she and Steve can
get together at last but feels, like, really sad for Michelle. So she’s more
than a little surprised when Michelle gets dolled up with a new hairdo and
a new frock to take Steve out on the town. Realising that Steve’s lied to
her, Becky’s in tears in the Rovers and it’s left to Liz to dry her tears
and pat her hand over a stiff drink.
Elsewhere, Peter pretends he’s off the booze and lies to everyone that
he’s sober. But he can’t pull the wool over Blanche’s eyes. “You would have
been good in the Gestapo,” he tells her. Leanne pops round for an afternoon
of drink and DVDs which prompts little Simon to wonder out loud who’s looking
after the bookies. It’s Dirty Laura, apparently. I wonder if she knows Fat
Brenda? And has anyone ever seen the pair of them in the same room at the
same time? Enquiring minds need to know.
And that’s just about that for this week.
Coronation Street writers this week were new writer John Kerr, Joe Turner,
Damon Rochefort and the man who married off Molly and Tyrone – Mr Jonathan
Harvey

It’s a cosy, toasty update that comes to you this week.
Wearing its pink fluffy socks and matching hat, enjoying a cup of tea and
chocolate biscuit (other snacks are available) and listening to More Specials
on CD, it sets off without any further ado and cracks on with this week’s
Coronation Street update.

In his attempt to break up with Michelle and get into bed with Becky, Steve
pimps out Ms Connor to her singing bandmate, JD. When JD goes in for a snog
after a song, Michelle knocks him back, horrified to hear that Steve’s told
JD their relationship’s over and he’s welcome to have her. Michelle storms
back to the Rovers and has it out with Steve in front of a packed pub, as
you do, with Steve denying anyone else is involved. Meanwhile, Liz and Lloyd
scuttle upstairs for a bit of hows-yer-father and when they submerge, Steve
argues with Lloyd about him shagging his mum. “It’s pervy!” Steve yells.
“You’re an OAP-de-phile!” So, Lloyd then yells to everyone in the pub that
Steve’s been having it away for weeks with barmcake Becks. A statement to
which Blanche feels free to comment on and confirms what she heard in the
courtroom, even if it does mean the end of her free G&Ts.
Becky then dumps Steve and tells him she wants nowt to do with him again.
To take her mind off the heartache she jumps into bed with Jason and it’s
back on between those two now, as Steve sits outside Becky’s flat feeling
sorry for himself after he’d gone and bought champagne, chocolates and flowers
to woo her. If only he’d bought her a pack of 20 fags, then he might have
got lucky.
Michelle also dumps Steve, natch, and moves out of the Rovers and into
Maria’s. Well, she’s got the room. Michelle gives Ryan the bad news about
Steve and you have to feel sorry for that kid, you really do. He’s spent
his whole life on Coronation Street being called into the back room of the
Rovers only to be given a humdinger of a shock piece of news. “Ryan, come
in, sit down, I’ve got something to tell you – You’re not my son / Your Uncle
Paul’s crashed his car with Aunty Leanne, who’s really a prostitute, in
the boot / Your Uncle Liam’s been having it away with your Aunty Carla /
Your Uncle Liam’s been killed by your Aunty Carla’s husband / Your Uncle
Steve’s been having it away with that blonde bit behind the bar.” Poor
Ryan.
John Stape was sent down this week for a two year stretch at Her Majesty’s
pleasure for kidnap and hostage of Ms Floozy Webster. Fiz is upset and goes
to see John in court when the sentence is dished down but the Websters are
over the moon when they hear the news about John in jail. They celebrate
with champagne in the Rovers and didn’t offer Ms Brown one although it’d
have been good if they had: “Fancy some fizz, Fiz?”
Elsewhere, Tyrone and Molly set off for honeymoon on the Eurostar to Paris
but can’t find their tickets. And that’s because Jackie Dobbs has nicked
them and done a runner. The newlyweds end up in Caravaggio, a 6 berth caravan
just outside Blackpool, which might not have the romance of France but at
least you know where you are with the lingo, the chips are smashing and the
beer’s not bad.
Gary Windass continues to wind up David by flirting with Tina, who to be
fair, isn’t doing much to discourage his advances. The Platt house fills
up when Joe moves in. Gail thinks it’s romantic but Joe knows it’s because
he’s got no cash and needs somewhere to sleep. They hug on Gail’s sofa and
the camera pans to Joe’s face in that way that it does when there’s a Coronation
Street hug-special taking place. Gail thinks her ship’s come in and she’s
met Mr Right while Joe doesn’t know what’s hit him. It’s left to Audrey
to tell Gail the truth about Joe – that he’s skint and he’s no longer a
Klever Kitchen kitter-outerer but that he’s labouring for Bill. When Gail
confronts Joe about it, the two of them fall out at the same time as Bill’s
builder’s yard is being broken into by the Windass lads who are after the
copper pipes.
Over at the Rovers, Bill puts a Rovers Return darts team together made
up of himself, Jason, Kev and Eddie Windass - who just so happens to be
an ex-darts player of the highest accord, he’s even got the medals to prove
it. He’s also quick to take the £20 darts subs off everyone too.
There’s good news for Dev this week as Tara decides to stay in Weatherfield
instead of heading to Edinburgh. But when she presents Amber with a gift
of a car, Dev’s not best pleased. he doesn’t want his daughter driving and
who can blame him when most of the women of Weatherfield who put their heels
to the steel end up in some crash or t’other?
And finally this week, there was even better news for Roy when he won this
eBay auction for an indoor composter. Life doesn’t come much better than
that.
And that’s just about that for this week.
Coronation Street writers this week were Carmel Morgan, Mark Wadlow and
Peter Whalley.
