The big story
this week continues to be Fiz and
John's
marriage. With the eleventh hour
arrival of Chesney, Hayley and Roy, Fiz decides that the wedding is
definitely back on. The prison
warders take a bit of convincing but, as luck would have it
(or not, depending on your point of
view), the registrar hasn't left the premises,
John is retrieved from his cell and
everyone assembles in the
chapel.
Eschewing the
romantic works of Shelley
or Byron,
John explains that he decided to
write his vows himself, choosing
words which would mean something to
Fiz. "From my heart and with every
fibre of my being I love you and I promise I'll always remember to
put the toilet seat up." Any sane
woman would have come to her senses at that point and made good her
escape but, perhaps recognising this could be a problem in view of
the fact they're locked inside a prison, Fiz makes the dubious
decision to keep going and officially becomes Fiona
Stape.
Over at the
corner shop, a lovesick Amber pours
her heart out to Dev who conveniently fails to mention his part in
her latest break up with Darryl.
Sadly, Darryl doesn't follow the same course of action when he's
doing a shift with his mum in the kebab
shop. Telling Teresa to keep it to
herself
is like asking a child not to look
forward Christmas and when Teresa
sees the cheque which Darryl still has in his back pocket, she's
beside herself with excitement at the thought of the compo she might
be able to wangle out of Dev for
the awful wages he pays.
On
the subject of excitement, Tyrone can't wait to get stripping
for
Molly. It's with great relief that
we learn there aren't any sequinned nipple tassels involved as this
is the sort that involves removing
wallpaper. With Kev away on his
hols Ty's decided to take advantage of his absence and take some
time off to decorate the living
room. He agrees with Molly that if
he gets finished by Friday he'll be allowed to turn Jack's old room
into a games room.
Meanwhile over at Eileen's, Jesse and
Julie, aka General Custard and
HiaLowa are busy taking some promotional shots
for the
website. "I feel like I come alive
when someone points a camera at me," says
Julie.
But while Julie's feeling alive,
Eileen's feeling jealous and as soon as she's alone with Jesse, she
gives him an ultimatum - either he dumps
Julie from his act
or she'll dump
him. Jesse takes
Julie
for a drink in the Rovers to do the
deed but Julie, who seems to have
had a major IQ boost recently,
works out what's really going on
and suggests to Jesse that they pretend to Eileen that she's been
sacked but, meanwhile, they'll keep on doing their act together in
secret.
While all of this
has been going on, speculation is rife at the
factory over the fact that Rosie
hasn't turned up for
work.
Luke puts them out of their misery and tells them he's sacked
her. "Can you get fired
for showing too much cleavage in a
built up area?" enquires Sean as Rosie appears through the
door.
Rosie, of course, is having none of it and, after threatening Luke
with a tribunal, is soon back with her box of belonging behind her
desk.
Fiz and Chesney arrive
back from the wedding but even a surprise party
organised by
Julie and the girls from
work can't lift Fiz's spirits on
what, under normal circumstances,
should be the happiest day of her
life. Things don't seem much better
the following morning when she soon
realises that things may get even
worse once
John is let out of
prison. There are those who are
less than pleased with the idea of him living on the Street,
starting with Rosie, and Fiz concludes the only answer will be to
move away. She goes to visit
John who promises he'll
sort something out but she fails to
find the time to share her thoughts with
Chesney.
Kev and Sally
arrive back from their two week holiday in Lanzarote and whilst
Sally is keen to get her clothes out of the suitcase and into the
wash, Kev's more interested in
taking his off and jumping back into bed with
Molly. It looks like things are
getting serious when Kev presents Molly with a necklace and they
declare their love for each
other.
While Kev's otherwise
engaged, Sally finds out about the wedding which of course sends her
into a total rage and straight round to Fiz's to give her a piece of
her mind. Fiz is in such a state
that she tells Sally that when John
gets out they'll be moving which is rather
unfortunate
for Chesney who happens to be
listening from the sofa. "I only
went along with that
...
what did Sally call it?
...
that sick charade of a wedding yesterday
for your
sake. I hate that man!" he rages to
Fiz later. "And then I find out you
are going to move us away from this house, away from all me mates!
And you weren't even gonna tell me about
it." Once again Chesney turns to
the Windasses for
comfort and when
Gary suggests he could
always move in with them he needs no second
bidding.
Relationships are
no better back at the corner
shop. Teresa has spilled the beans
to Amber about Dev's bribe to
Darryl. Amber is furious and wastes
no time in telling Dev that he's still the same disgusting control
freak that he always was. Darryl
fairs no better and, even when he shows her the cheque which he
hasn't cashed, it cuts no ice, and both he and Dev are left behind
on the cobbles as the girl they love heads off
for
London on the
bus.
Peter and Leanne also
look like they might be heading for
falling out when Leanne fails to get back in time
for Simon's school
recorder
recital. However, Peter is
forced to admit that he was the one
who needed her there more than
Simon and she promises never to let him down
again.
Much of this week's
drama is carried out to the accompaniment of Uncle Umed's novelty
door bell which he's installed in
the corner
shop. Reactions range from Kirk
dropping to the floor when he hears
machine gun fire to Ashley threatening to do something nasty to him
with a meat cleaver if he doesn't do something to stop the infernal
noise. Sensing his boss has come to
the end of his tether, Graeme comes to the rescue in the guise of a
window cleaner. Explaining it's his
latest venture he offers to clean the shop windows thereby giving
him the opportunity to remove the
offending bell from the wall and accidentally drop it in his bucket
of soapy water. However, some good
comes out of this as far as Claire is
concerned. The combined
frustrations of the door bell and
the lack of conjugal rights back at the Peacock house finally make
Ashley agree that he'll have a
vasectomy.
Still on
potentially steamy matters, Kev
organises a last minute romantic
night away with Molly. Their alibi
is a 10k charity run in
Glasgow.
However, unlike Sophie, Kev fails to look it up on the internet and
some quick thinking is required when his daughter asks why they've
signed up for a gay fun
run. Their plans are almost
thwarted by Sally, too, when she announces that she's
organising an emergency meeting
about John Stape in the Rovers and
needs his
support.
Kev plays the guilt card when he tells her that running is his only
chance to escape from the pressures of
work so, whilst Kev and Molly head
off for a night of passion in
Chester, Sally starts
drumming up support from the
neighbours.
It seems that
John's idea of
sorting out his and Fiz's problems
is to write letters to everyone in the Street asking
for their understanding when he
gets out of prison which, by the sound of things, is any day
now. Reactions are mixed but
everyone heads off to the Rovers to hear what Sally has to say on
the subject. It looks as though
she's winning over quite a bit of
support until Fiz stands up and
pleads John's
case. The voice of a woman in love
clearly has an effect on the assembled crowd because by the end she
receives a round of applause and we're left wondering whether she
and John might just be able to
begin their married life on
Coronation
Street after
all.
That's all we have time
for this week,
folks. Writers
for these episodes were
Julie Jones,
David Lane and
Mark Wadlow and the directors were
David Kester and Pip
Short.
