FEBRUARY 9
As a person who Can Not Cook, I'm almost warming to Eddie
Windass who is clearly on my side. I can't cook but I can bake and
so can Eddie who turns out a mean batch of butterfly cakes in an
attempt to woo the Platts. It doesn't work, and the Platts and
Windasses are still at odds over who punched who and as the
wherefores and whatnots of woe are played out on the cobbles, the
cakes go down a treat but cut no ice with Mrs Platt. “I
haven't been happy since 1978” Gail moans, and if a thought bubble
had appeared above head it might have included happy days with her
good mate Suzi Birchall. Tension between the two families gets worse
when Len threatens Tina who tells David who tells Joe who threatens
Len. What goes around comes around, all the way next
door.
Over at Streetcars, Eileen and Steve discuss their new
driver Boring Lewis and his furry dice. Lewis could be a relative of
Fat Brenda and we may never see him either, which I think is a
shame. Steve does his best to ignore Becky and she does likewise to
him but they have a little entre-nous by the cab. “I'm ecstatic
we're over,” gurns Steve to barmcake Becks. “I'm euphoric!” she
retorts. “Euphoric? That's a big word for a little girl,” he says to
which she replies: “You don't work next to Roy Cropper for a year
and learn nowt”. Desperately trying not to let Becky's flirting with
Jason upset him in the pub, Steve flirts with Natasha the
hairdresser but both Steve and Becky know it's each other that they
really, really want. A-zig-a-zig-ahh.
Still hoping to be a
nurse, Janice takes advice from Ken but he tells her to drop the
book learning and be a care assistant instead. Patronising? Ken? Oh
yes, indeed. What else did we expect? “I can do this,” huffs Janice.
“I've seen Educating Rita, you know,” although I think it'd take
more than a haircut to take 20 years off Ken. Perhaps a silk kimono
could do it? Martha certainly thinks so and gives Ken the present
which he takes back home and lies to Deirdre that he bought it in
town for himself. Deirdre's got other things on her mind and takes
to organising Amy's 5th birthday party with gusto, wearing a very
bad bra. Despite the presence of any children, it was the noisiest
kids' party Corrie's ever had.
Over at the factory, Liam
locks in Carla and tells her he murdered Liam. All very predictable
stuff and I started gazing into my living room fire as the scene
played out. There were flashes of good acting from both Alison King
and Grey O'Brien so it wasn't totally bad, with some wonderful
dialogue from Jonathan Harvey when Carla spoke about her betrayal of
Tony with Liam. “Oh we had subterfuge all right. We even had
subterfuge in me wedding dress!” But I'm tired of Tony and Carla and
want this story to be over. Thankfully it looks like it's coming to
an end after Carla drove off in the rain as Tony sunk to his knees
on the cobbles crying. Whether he was kneeling and not standing
because he was overcome with grief as he'll miss his lovely wife or
the fact that she'd just kneed him in the groin, well it was
difficult to say.
Another pregnant actress who left in the
same episode as Alison King as Carla Gordon was the lady who plays
Polish Wiki from Underworld. She tells everyone she's going to
Poland to look after her mum but we all know she's leaving to have a
baby.
So, is a macaroon a biscuit or a cake? That was the big
discussion of the week and the answer is a biscuit, of course. Steve
and Lloyd debated the merits of a macaroon before hitting singles
night at The Fighting Cocks pub in search of someone to take Steve's
mind off Becky. Liz turns up which makes Lloyd think she distrusts
him and the lads bump into Bill Webster who's all backcombed hair
and open shirt, with Eau de Desperation aftershave splashed all over
his chest.
In the Rovers, Norris refuses a cruising with Mary
and her mother. “It's all shuffleboard and show tunes, what have I
got in common with all that?” he sniffs as Mary disappears
overboard.
And in the Webster household there were scenes of
an harmonious nature when Sophie went out on a data with new
boyfriend, Ben. He's all “Yes, Mr Webster. I'll have her back by
half-nine, Mr Webster,” when Kev questions Ben when he turns up to
take Sophie out to the flicks. Indeed, the only problem with Ben
that Sally and Kev can find is when Sophie announces she's going to
start to go to church. Eyebrows were raised.
And that's just
about that for this week.
Coronation Street writers this
week were Joe Turner, Jonathan Harvey, Chris Fewtrell, Lucy Gannon
and John Kerr.
