APRIL 6
“I'm not drinking any more,” lies Peter Barlow
through his teeth as he sits in th'ospital waiting for Simon to
recover from smoke inhalation after the bookies burns down. Ken
believes his son and tells Blanche he thinks Peter's turned a
corner. “Let's just hope there's not a pub on it,” she
grimaces. But Ken's got more problems on his plate than an
alcoholic son, menopausal wife and grumpy Blanche to deal with. He
lets the word Deirdre slip from his lips on the barge and Martha
assumes Deirdre's a mate. Ken comes clean and tells Martha he's
married and then she throws him off the boat with tears in her eyes.
There were more tears in more eyes this week when Kirk
dumped Julie. Well, she wasn't right for him and he wasn't right for
her and Kirk tells her so: “You're a right bossy cow and you never
back me up when I tell you I want to be an astronaut or stuntman.”
Kirk boxes up Julie's stuff and she comes to collect her fake
fur-trimmed cowboy hat and her collection of, I'm guessing, Take a
Break magazines and a James Blunt CD. Anyway, we all know Fiz and
Kirk should get back together anyway. It's just that Fiz and Kirk
don't know that yet and Fiz is being kept busy with Chesney's
worries at school. He's being bullied by Kenzie Judd and Fiz storms
in to school to give Kenzie what for but the headteacher stops Fiz's
fists from flying. It turns out the head is giving Kenzie's mum a
seeing to and so Fiz knows Chesney's bullying won't stop. She drags
him out of the school with the threat of home tutoring. She asks Ken
Barlow first, everyone does, but when Ken declines, she goes to
prison to see John Stape and then.. zzzz.. zz.. sorry, I must have
dropped off when the Stapester came into view.
Graham's being
a bit odd this week. Just when you think he's settling down to be a
cosy Corrie character, his fascination for arson reminds you that
he's more than a little dangerous. He loves the smell of charred
buildings and stares longingly at the bookies. Both creepy and odd.
Talking about both creepy and odd, Norris gets a wake up
call when Mary tells him her mother has died. This means that Mary
is free to travel, see the world and put her plans into action to
leave Weatherfield. Will Norris go with her or will he dither at
Rita's side for the rest of life? Dither, Norris, dither. Rita likes
you that way. But no, dither he does not. When Rita goes on about
organising a 70th birthday party for Colin, Norris gets jealous and
tells Mary he'll go off travelling with her after all. Mary's over
the moon, Norris is jealous, Rita's confused and Emily orders
another sweet sherry.
Tina returned from her jollies this
week to find her dad still living with Gail and David moved out. She
tells Joe that she wants him to take responsibility for his life and
sort himself out. But poor Gail's still got the hots for Joe and
wants to continue playing happy families. Luckily for her Joe will
meet with an accident next week which ensures he can't leave her.
Ooh, it's just like that Bette Davis film.
The Windass clan
also returned from being “away” somewhere non-specific. Can't say I
missed them, can you? And Lloyd came back from Ibiza only to
find that Liz has legged it to Spain where her Andy's not well and
in need of some mothering. The staff at the Rovers now consists
solely of Poppy to run the place, change the barrels and sort out
the catering for an old man's birthday bash. This would never have
happened when Annie Walker was in charge.
And finally this
week, Tony Gordon met with Inch High Private Eye to get some dirt on
Luke Strong but his background checks out too clean for Tony's
liking. The only thing we know about Luke Strong that we didn't this
time last week is that he's got a bit of debt, he's a friend of the
Connor clan and he always goes back for the wabbit.
And
that's just about that for this week.
Coronation Street
writers this week were Carmel Morgan, Mark Wadlow, John Kerr and
Peter Whalley.
