Over at the Barlows, secrets are spilled
when Lawrence Cunningham arrives. Lawrence is the son of Susan, who
Ken tracked down after Norris found her old letter to Ken last
week. Anyway, it turns
out that Susan died so Lawrence arrived to meet Ken
instead. The clues are
all there; they're both stuffed shirts, they're both wearing ties,
both love a bit of Radio 4 and take two sugars in tea. Deirdre looks
from one to t'other and the penny drops straight away. "I'll, er,
put the kettle on," she says, as two heads turn towards her in
unison: "Oh, that'll be lovely, thanks!" It takes Deirdre to point
out the bleeding obvious to Ken after Lawrence has left and Ken can't
believe that he's got yet another son. He calls Lawrence again
and sits him down at the tea-table to tell him that he's Lawrence's
father after courting his mum Susan back in '61. "I'll, er, put the
kettle on," says Deirdre, again as two heads turn towards her in
unison, again: "Oh, that'll be lovely, thanks!". Not only has Ken
gained a son and Deirdre gained another reason for Ken to ignore
her, Lawrence has children of his own
which means Ken's got more grandchildren too. There's Chloe who's
doing a PhD in Devon and James, of whom Lawrence didn't say much,
and when he did, he sort of mumbled and had a far-away look in his
eyes. We find out the
reason for this when James turns up too and there's friction between
Ken's new son and grandson. It turns out that James being gay is the
reason for Lawrence's
lack of love.
Meanwhile, Peter spies what's going on and meets Ken's new
other son and new other grandson to add to Ken's growing collection,
he could probably collect the whole set and win a tea service
soon.
Molly
goes into labour this week while Tyrone's out on breakdown and Kevin
goes into meltdown. Molly has contraptions and Kevin has kittens,
worried sick that she'll blurt out the truth about the baby. As Molly's screaming and
heaving in her front room under the picture of Saint Vera, Tyrone's
stuck in his truck behind a bloke in a van who won't shift off the
road. They get into a bit of an argy-bargy and the bloke throws
Tyrone's keys into flowers so he has to try to hotwire the car and
that's when the cops turn up. But instead of arresting Tyrone, they
take him with blue lights flashing back to the Street where it's all
go. Unable to wait any
longer for th'ambulance to arrive (where's Nurse Platt when you need
him?) Molly starts giving birth. Sally rolls up her sleeves,
yells at Kevin. "Shift this flamin' table, Kevin, I'm going to wash
me hands," and gets busy at the business end of Molly who gives
birth to a baby boy just as Tyrone rushes through the door. Ah, but who's the
daddy?
Drag
Queen Rosie of the Websters puts her pout out this week when sister
Sophie runs away with girlfriend Sian. Sally's beside herself with
worry but can't, at first, accept that Sophie's gay. "It's just a
phase," she tells anyone who'll listen. "At least she's not wearing
Doc Martens and a plaid shirt," says Rosie. And er, what exactly is
wrong with Doc Martens and a plaid shirt? Sally's made to see sense
when Kev tells her that Sophie's sure of her sexuality. At least she's sure of that
because she's clearly not sure how old she is. Born in November 1994
makes her 15 years old which makes her too young to have taken her
GCSEs this year at school. Oh, minor details, I know, but still.
Anyway, Sophie's ran off with Sian and left behind Sally reeling at
Dev and Sunita who think the lesbians have legged it because they're
feeling guilty over Aadi's Aacidental bump on the head when it's
little Simon Barlow to blame.
At
the Rovers, Kylie spies Steve's motorbike in the pub yard and the
next thing you know, it's been stolen to order and Kylie's got a wad
of twenty pound notes in her hand. She's a rum ?un and no mistake.
Becky still thinks the sun shines out of her sister and refuses to
believe she's done ?owt wrong but Kylie's rubbed everyone up the
wrong way. When it's Kylie's son Max's 4th birthday,
Kylie steals little Max (who steals each scene he's in) and does a
runner with him back to the Rovers. It's up to Becky to do the grown
up thing and call the social services to turn her sister in.
Gary
Windass returned this week from the military to his mam and Anna's
over the moon to see her son but not best pleased when Kylie gets
her lips wrapped round solider boy in the Rover's Return.
Natasha
confides to Fiz that she's not up the duff when Fiz catches her
stealing her own baby scan and presenting it to Nick as if it were
her own. Oh what a tangled web she's weaved as she continues to
deceive Nicky boy.
Nick's starting to think about naming his unborn. Perhaps Ivy for a
girl and Bert for a boy?
And
over at Underworld, Carla gives Trevor a job as Under Manager as he
works his 1 week's notice on the bins. It'll only end in tears and
slipped gusset stitches, just you wait and see.
And
that's just about that for this week.
Coronation Street
writers this week were Carmel Morgan, Martin Allen, Chris Fewtrell
and Jayne Hollinson.
