2010 - June 7 and 14 -
double weekly update rolled into one
There's been two major stories over the last
couple of weeks, Catalogue Tony vs The Flames of Hell (aka The
Underworld siege) and Gail vs Jail. Let's crack on first with the
Underworld siege - you may need a cushion to hide behind.
So,
Tony Gordon breaks out of jail with the help of cell-mate Robbie
who's just been released. Tony storms back to the Street with his
beady eye, a murdering mind and a gun to Carla Connor's pretty head.
He tapes Carla's gob shut and ties her to her executive swivel
chair. And then he did the same to Hayley, on the cheaper chair, and
with the two women taped up and tied down, terrible Tony threw
petrol around after shooting Robbie dead to the factory floor. By
`eck this were good.
Hayley wiggled free and Tony threw her
out on to the cobbles as the cops buzzed outside and a crowd
gathered to find out what was going on. Mind you, it wasn't a very
big crowd and you'd expect a big crowd if there was an armed siege
going on at the end of your street. I know I'd be out for a look.
Carla wiggles herself free too, and makes a run for the door as Tony
sets fire to the petrol and Underworld goes up in flames. Carla runs
out and Tony runs after her then he turns and walks back into the
inferno and another Corrie villain went and gone and died. It was
all quite exciting and Kirk got het up about his packet of Wagon
Wheels which were in his locker and might just have
melted.
Now that Underworld's dead and buried along with Tony
Gordon, Janice and the girls get a gob on as they've not got any
work. Carla's gone to South Africa for the football with Trevor
(although if I had Trevor to myself I wouldn't be watching football)
and while she's away, with Leanne's help, Nick starts up Underworld
again in Peter Barlow's empty wine bar. Leanne contacts George (boo,
hiss, etc) and now Peter and Leanne are at odds as Peter reckons
Leanne's helped out Nick `cos she still fancies her ex-husband.
"That boy's face is crying out for a slap," says Peter of Nick. I
can only agree.
Over at the other end of town away from the
fires and the deaths, Gail Platt was in court. Even David gave
evidence, promising to tell "the troof, the whole troof and nothing
but the troof" but the Polish polisher from the lakeside cottage
didn't show up despite being bribed. Huh, some people, eh? Anyway,
the jury decided Gail was guilty of many things: bad hair,
whispering and all twelve are unanimous that she should have been
shot for bringing David Platt into the world, but as for killing Joe
McIntyre, they voted her free.
Gail skipped home for a cuppa
and a fight with Deirdre on the cobbles when Deirdre admitted she
knew Tracy was lying and she'd stitched Gail right up. You'd think
Gail would be smiling now she's released and at home but she's
shooting evils at Natasha every time the woman who's dating her
golden boy Nick comes into her peripheral vision. Natasha was once
fun, a bit daft, but since she got together with Nick, she's become
needy and dull. Such is life for anyone involved with a Plattisley
boy.
Elsewhere on the Street, Roy proposed to Hayley,
upstairs in the flat. And the lady with the flat shoes and sensible
hair, she say `yes' and about time too! She breaks the news to the
girls over cakes in Roy's Rolls. "We're getting married!" to which
everyone replies: "We thought you already were?" Well, no, they
never were, not properly and legally but now with a change in the
law for transsexuals which happened a few years ago, they can now be
legally wed. "Do they sell a card in The Kabin for that?" asks
Deirdre to Ken.
Mary hands Hayley her marriage portfolio,
the dossier she's been working on for, like, ever, which contains
details of everything from dresses and tiaras to garters and cakes.
Mary's clearly been working on her own wedding for some time, hoping
for something old (Norris), something new (the Motorhome), something
borrowed (Tina's job at the Kabin) and something blue (Rita's exotic
dancing past).
And finally for this update, Audrey's getting
jealous of Lewis' work as an escort when he sleeps over with a lady
friend before giving Audrey a booty call. I know, at her age too.
Anyway, she's not best pleased so Lewis says he's giving up the
escort work but he's now got a sparkle in his eye every time he
spies Deirdre on the street.
And that's just about that for
the last two weeks.
Coronation Street writers for the last
two weeks were Mark Wadlow, Stephen Russell, Chris Fewtrell, Joe
Turner, Jan McVerry, Jayne Hollinson, John Kerr, Debbie Oates, Julie
Jones and Damon Rochefort.
