The big story this week has been Roy and Hayley's wedding.
Mad Mary almost mucked it up when she tried to uncouple the couple
on their happy day. But let's retrace our steps a little and wiggle
back to Hayley's hen night in Roy's Rolls. The hen party's in full
swing with the girls dressed up in sexy nurses outfits and Mary's
upset as she hasn't been invited so she leaves the girls to their
debauchery and heads home for a fish supper. The party moves on from
the Rovers to the caf? where there's a latin lothario waiting to
whisk Hayley around the caf? floor with some sexy salsa moves. Even
Roy donned a rakish moustache and had a smile on his face. He was
smiling even more on his wedding day when he got the chance to drive
a steam train (Lancashire Fusilier No. 44871) to the wedding venue.
As Roy and Chesney chuff it out up front in the engine room, the
guests are enjoying themselves and having fun in the first class
carriage. At the end of the train are Hayley and the bridesmaids,
Becky and Fiz, unwaware that Mary's uncoupled their carriage from
the main train. And so, Hayley's carriage sits on a train line in
the middle of nowhere until they figure out what's gone on and get
out. At first they walk, then run, then find a pump wagon. Hayley
hoiks her frock up as Becky and Fiz give it what-for and get the
bride to the venue in time for her say "I do" to Roy and dance to
the Manchester show choir. It was done beautifully, a proper Cropper
do, and I have to admit I had a lump in my throat. And so, Roy and
Hayley are now wed; legally, properly, lovely.
Elsewhere this
week, Sophie and Sian's gay secret is out when they go babysitting
for Claire who has to rush off as her mum's had an angina attack.
When Claire returns, she spots the two girls snogging on her sofa
but keeps quiet about it at first. But when little Aadi is rushed
into hospital unconscious, Claire gets blamed for hitting the kid
while he was in her care. What really happened was that little Simon
Barlow threw Aadi off the sofa and Aadi bumped his head, but Simon's
keeping quiet on that bit so far. Anyway, Claire's not best pleased,
as you can imagine, to be accused of child abuse and blurts out to
everyone that Sophie and Sian were kissing when they should have
been looking after the kids. Sally's in denial and won't believe
that Sophie's a lesbian but Sophie reveals all to her dad later and
tells him that Claire was speaking the truth. Cue Kevin's furrowed
brow and grunts of "what the `eck?"
After Becky and Steve
were turned down by the adoption panel last week, Becky finds out
where her sister's living and goes to have a word. They two of them
are beating each other up one minute and then next, sister Kylie's
moved into the Rovers and Robbie Williams is singing Angels on the
jukebox when Becky puts on her sad face. Kylie's got a little boy
called Max who's with foster parents as she's deemed to be, by those
who deem these things, an unfit mother. She causes grief in the pub
by flirting with Ciaran which upsets Michelle. Michelle lashes out
with her first but instead of hitting Kylie, she misses and belts
Becky instead. Steve fires her but Liz re-hires her and Michelle and
her cleaveage are soon back behind the bar.
Meanwhile, Eileen
goes out on a date with Owen the builder and gets blind drunk. "Do
you want to come in for a night cap?" she asks him at the end of the
night. "And by night cap, I do mean sex!" He declines the coffee,
even if it was offered with froth but helps her put in an offer on
No. 9 as the landlord is threatening to throw her out and sell up,
so Eileen decides to buy the place herself.
Over at Emily's
there's mice in the hice and when Norris strips the skirting board
to find out how the rodent's got in, he finds an old letter that's
been there since 1961. It's an unopened envelope addressed to Ken
Barlow and Ken's agog to find it's from an old girlfriend, Susan
Cunningham. He tracks down Susan's sister who used to run a wool
shop and discovers Susan's got a son called Lawrence. What he
doesn't yet know is that Lawrence is Ken's son too, it'll all come
out in the wash next week. And what does Deirdre think about this
turn of events? It's hard to tell as she's doing her very best to
ignore Ken after her Lewis lustfest t'other week. There was a
wonderful scene when Ken came into the house looking for something
to eat. With not a word being spoken between them, he sees Deirdre
at the table, eating her meal and assumes that his dinner will be in
the oven. It's not. He opens the fridge to see if there's anything
in there for him. There isn't. Neither is there anything in the
cupboards for him to cook, no bread in the bread bin, no beans in
the tins, no more love in that house. Silently, he stands and
watches as Deirdre tips the remains of her meal straight into the
bin ? a cracking Corrie scene.
And finally this week, Fiz
gets her baby scan and shares it with Natasha who nicks it and
pretends that it's hers and Nicks. Nick wants to start buying baby
clothes and can't understand why Natasha's not keen. Meanwhile,
she's pinning him to the bed at every opportunity in the hope she'll
get pregnant and he'll not notice that she's not.
And that's
just about that for this week.
Coronation Street writers
this week were Damon Rochefort, Mark Burt, Peter Whalley, Julie
Jones and Debbie Oates.
