APRIL 13
There were six episodes of Corrie this week so
there's a lot of cobbles to cover. Got your cuppa? And your
biscuits? Then put yer feet up on yer pouffe and let's get stuck
in. The big story of the week has been Ken canoodling by the
canal with Martha. She's appearing at the Oldham Coliseum (going by
its stage name of The Jackson Centre) in ‘Thatch Me If You Can' and
Ken has to go there to see her ‘cos when he turns up at her barge by
the canal, she's gone and sailed away. So Ken's sitting there
by the canal, box of chocs in his hand, wondering how to best find
Martha and wouldn't you know it, Eccles the dog walks by followed by
Simon, Deirdre and Peter. Ken flings the chocolates for Martha into
the bush behind him and lies through his teeth that he wanted some
air. Deirdre storms off in a huff and Peter tuts at his dad. But
Ken's not bothered, he heads to the theatre and has it out with
Martha after the play ends. So intent is he on making his feelings
known to Martha that in the heat of the moment, he doesn't notice
Audrey and Saint Ted the Tolerant watching it all. They've been to
see the play too but the drama unfolding in front of them is much
more fun and doesn't need tickets. Audrey has a word on the cobbles
with Ken about doing the right thing by Deirdre, but her words wash
over Barlow. Meanwhile, by the canal, there's an expensive box of
chocolates still sitting in a bush.
Elsewhere this week, with
it being Easter and all, the residents of the Street head to church
where the Revered Peach is doing a pet blessing. Simon takes Leanne
the rabbit while Blanche complains that it's like Rolf Harris'
Animal House and she's got a point. Among the congregation are two
dogs, a cat and one little pony. There was also dog poo in the pews.
Amen.
Blanche has even more to worry about than dog dirt on
her church shoes when she heads to the one o'clock club dressed as
Amelia Earhart. She's only gone and got the wrong day and all the
other soap oaps aren't in fancy dress so she stays on the coach and
does her sodoku instead.
Another pensioner not having
a good Easter weekend is Betty in the Rovers. She's been called in
to work when Poppy goes shopping and she's Not Best Pleased. And
when Betty's not happy, she lets everyone know. She even sticks her
tongue out from behind the bar to express her disgust. It's a shame
about Betty. We never see her for months and when we do, she gets
wheeled on to give a comedy line (which is always appreciated, of
course) and then we don't see her again for too long. Give Betty a
storyline, Corrie, and soon!
At Gail's, Joe's still flat on
his back on the sofa in pain and Gail's delight in all this is mad.
Finally she's got a fella who can't do a runner. David returns from
seeing Martin in Liverpool and pretends he's turned over a new leaf,
being creepily nice to everyone including Gary Windass. But it's all
a ploy of course, another evil plan. Do we like it? Of course.
Insert own evil laugh here.
In Roy's Rolls, Anna Windass
starts work serving up the barm cakes and she's not doing a bad job,
so far. She throws out Theresa Morton who turns up drunk and causes
a scene. She plays a brilliant drunk, does Theresa Morton, and Dev
ends up being persuaded to give her a room in the flat about the
shop until she sobers up. It could take some time.
Rita gets
a surprise when Sophie Webster confesses to stealing sweets from the
Kabin when she was a kid. Not only that, but Sophie wants to make
amends and ends up cleaning the Kabin floor while a bemused Rita and
Norris look on.
And finally this week, little Josh Peacock
proves to be a dab-hand at football and starts playing for the
Bessie Street Under Sevens.
And that's just about that
for this week.
Coronation Street writers this week were Peter
Whalley, Joe Turner, Mark Wadlow, Damon Rochefort and Martin
Allen.
