2010 - October
11
It's
the morning after the night before and Carla's got a thick head and
a cut hand. She's in denial about having a drink problem but Peter
knows the signs. He's been there, drunk that, fallen off that sofa,
sent his flat up in flames and almost killed his kid. But he's still
lying to Leanne about where he's spent the night and says he's been
helping out a drunk mate called Carl. Mind you, there's so many lies
between Peter and Leanne at the minute, it's hard to keep track.
Nick offers Leanne a job at his new wine bar. In part one of the
episode, Leanne says no to the offer but you just know that in part
two she'll change her mind and say yes. And although Peter says he's
happy for Leanne to work there, he's clearly not. Meanwhile Leanne keeps
telling herself she feels nowt for Nick, not any more, when she
clearly does. Ken,
however, is keeping a keen eye on his soon-to-be daughter in law's
new job with her old husband.
Alright, John?
In
No. 9 Jack wants to make the most of the time he's got left on this
mortal coil. He secretly buys tickets for Cabaret and gives them as
a present to Sally Webster when he hears Tyrone sing Sally's praises
over her help with baby Jack. And then he sends Julie a red rose
when he overhears her in the bar saying there's nothing she'd like
more than a romantic red rose from a mysterious admirer. Wotcha,
John? But when another of his wishes is to visit a lapdancing club
and he ropes in Tyrone, Molly spies them all getting into Steve's
taxi done up in their best suits and demands to know what's going
on. Tyrone ends up telling Molly Jack's news, which had me in tears
this week. Jack's got cancer, an aggressive and advanced Hodgkins lymphoma with only
weeks to live.
This
week Chesney lost his cherry when he bedded Katy. The storyline
involved Kirk in a kerfuffle about condoms, and then Katy's dad Owen
threatening Chesney and menacing the lad when he calls round with
some flowers for his daughter. Is that you, John?
We
also said goodbye to Ryan this week when he left WIPA for Glasgow
Uni, John.
One
of the best stories this week has been the unravelling of John
Stape. It's been a comic joy which started when John's
ex-colleague Brian turns up. Brian, you'll remember, still thinks
that John is Colin Fishwick so is somewhat surprised when Owen comes
to the door and demands to know from John where Chesney is, John.
And if he sees Chesney, John, he tells him to keep away from his
daughter, John. Got that, John? Bye then, John. When Owen's gone,
Brian furrows his brow. "Why was he calling you John, Colin?" John jumps in with a story about how
he's really called Colin but has assumed the identity of John Stape
after going on the run when he witnessed a murder. It's all quite
ridiculous and very, very funny. But just when John thinks he's seen
the last of Brian, he only runs into him in the Rovers later,
singing a Barbara Streisand duet with Julie. Brian and Julie have
connected, you see, over their shared love of Neil Diamond's
Cracklin' Rosie. So
John's not out of the Fishwick mess just yet, John, not by a long
way, John.
And
in other news this week, Tina continues to ignore David after he
attacked her the other week. Which is all well and good but she
hasn't told Graeme who thinks Tina's being rude to his best mate,
Dave.
And
the mystery of the money mischief is solved this week. Three years
after the rest of us solved the puzzle of Rita and Norris' bank
accounts being hacked into, Norris finally realises that Tina and
Graeme aren't to blame, it was the man in the computer repair shop
wot dunnit. However,
Norris has more pressing thoughts on his mind as he tries to guess
his weight in bananas, John.
And
that's just about that for this week.
Coronation
Street writers this week were Debbie Oates, Peter Whalley, Martin
Allen, Joe Turner and Mark Wadlow.
