MARCH 30
In the flat above the bookies, Peter drinks and
falls, bumping his head and applying a plaster to the cut.
"Whaddaveyadunteryerself?" Audrey laughs at Peter in the Street.
"Got drunk and fallen over?" Peter doesn't deny it and word reaches
Deirdre who puffs up her chest and storms round to count the number
of empty booze bottles at Peter's. "I'm calling Social Services!"
she yells at Peter after she accuses him of being an alcoholic and
fears for little Simon. Deirdre presses a button for Social Services
on speed dial as a panicked Peter looks on. At t'other end of the
line, a confused Blanche answers an even more confusing telephone
call. But Deirdre's ploy is not enough to shock Peter out of
downing the booze and he falls asleep drunk with a cigarette in his
hand while cheesy hits from the 70s and 80s plays on CD and provides
a soundtrack to the fire in the bookies.
Peter's cigarette
burns a hole in the rug to The Only Ones' Another Girl, Another
Plant. The flames reach higher and higher to Brass in Pocket by The
Pretenders and by the time Luke Strong and Tony Gordon break the
door down and rescue Simon and Peter, it's Vienna's Ultravox. But
the best bit, oh, the best bit by far was Luke Strong going back
into the burning flat to rescue Leanne the rabbit. Sinnita's So
Macho should have been playing, but it wasn't, perhaps because the
CD player had melted in the heat. "You had to go back for the
rabbit?" Tony asks Luke later at th'ospital. And when Luke Strong
replies: "I always go back for the rabbit," you know you can take
him at his word.
And where's Ken when all this is going on?
He's on the love boat with Martha. She's very comely, is Martha,
very welcoming in a mature lady sort of a way and you can see why
Ken's tempted. I wouldn't mind popping round there myself for a spot
of freshly made coffee, some mothering and a bit of her worldly
advice. But when Ken returns to find Peter and Simon in th'ospital
and the bookies up in flames, he has a lot to think on. Will it be
Martha or marriage? Deirdre or chips?
It's getting creepy
between Tony and Maria when he gives her the glad-eye with his good
eye. But while Tony and Maria grow close and confidential, Natasha's
the one that Tony's taking to bed. She's fair and easy game,
throwing caution to the wind and her knickers in the air as she
knocks the dust off Tony's duvet. Maria, as you can tell, is not
best pleased and more than a tad jealous. "You've been out all night
in them clothes, again?" she tuts at Natasha. "No," Tash replies, "I
washed me tights out but my gusset's still a bit damp."
At
Tara's art gallery, Dev says ta-ra to a load of his dosh as he gets
Minnie to pretend she's an art buyer who spends £700 on Tara's art
prints. Dev has to spend the cash just to make Tara feel that the
art gallery's worthwhile and making a profit. When Tara finds
out what Dev's gone and done she packs up and leaves him but Dev's
not lost for long. He waves ta-ra to Tara and finds his accountant
lady friend Lisa in the Rovers. After a swift drink he whisks her
back to the flat to show her his etchings he's just bought from
Tara.
Kirk's a bit upset this week. Well, Julie thought she
was pregnant and then she found out she wasn't so Kirk had his hopes
raised and then dashed in the same episode. "I feel like my life's
changing every five minutes," he moans in the Rovers. Poor Kirkeh.
Poor Julie. Poor Babeh.
And finally, Sally hosts the dinner
party from hell although she did wear a nice frock. She wanted to
get Molly and Tyrone over for their tea so she could grill both on
their intentions about their share in Kev's garage. Molly wanted to
get more involved in doing the books but Sally shook her head
patronisingly and told Molly she looked after that sort of thing and
there was nothing for Molly to worry about, or do. Sally is
wonderful when she's in full Hyacinth Bouquet flow. She even took
something out of the freezer for tea. I never knew you could freeze
tins of beans.
And that's just about that for this
week.
Coronation Street writers this week were John Kerr,
Peter Whalley, Damon Rochefort, Julie Jones and Joe "I saved Leanne
the rabbit" Turner.
