Lloyd packed up his troubles in old kit
bag, wore a natty hat and smiled as he left Corrie this week. To a
10-horn salute from the Streetcars cabs, Lloyd sailed away to record
a few episodes of Red Dwarf before returning next year. Before he
left, he sold his share of the cab firm to Becky, which upsets Tracy
no end because she reckons this'll make Steve and Becky close again.
Steve tells Tracy she's wrong, but she's right. It does make Steve
and Becky close again and when Steve finds out that Becky's meeting
a cab client in a hotel in town to discuss a cab contract, Steve
pops along too. The meeting goes well, the contract's in the bag and
Becky invites Steve upstairs to celebrate. He's torn, you can tell
by the way he goes into gurn overdrive, but he declines Becky's
tempting offer for the sake of his unborn twins. He tells Becky he
doesn't really love Tracy, it's knowing he's going to be a dad to
the twins that is making his life worthwhile.
Meanwhile,
Tracy's wondering where Steve and Becky are and she's beside herself
with worry when Karl tells her the pair are at a hotel in town.
Tracy assumes Steve's having it away with Becky in a hotel room and
she storms in there, all guns blazing, screaming and shouting and
banging on doors until she works herself up into such a rage that
the stress of it all makes her collapse. She's rushed to th'ospital
with Deirdre by her side, where she miscarries the twins. Deirdre
consoles and hugs her daughter who knows that when she tells Steve
she's lost the babies, he'll want nowt to do with her. Deirdre
convinces Tracy to tell Steve about the babies, and so Tracy goes on
the hunt for him. He's asleep on the sofa in the back room of the
pub after an all night airport taxi-run but Tracy doesn't know that.
She storms up to Becky's flat, demanding to see Steve and when Becky
tells her he's not there, an evil plan forms in Tracy's mind and she
throws herself back down the full flight of stairs. Becky looks on
in horror then dials for an ambulance. By the time Steve finds out
what's happened, Tracy's back in hospital with Deirdre by her side.
And that's when twisted Tracy really lets rip. "Becky pushed me down
the stairs. She killed our babies!"she lies to Steve as Deirdre's
face goes into full "what the f... ?"mode.
Elsewhere this
week, Owen and David's spat turns nasty when Owen wakes up to find
his fish pond filled in with soil and all his fish have disappeared.
This cut to a brilliant scene of Kylie at the Platt's screaming in
horror to David: "Why's our bath full of fish?"Owen digs out the
fish pond again and buys more fish but when he goes to restock the
pond, David's already put the fish back in there that he nicked
earlier. I think David might have bitten off more than he can chew
by choosing to go head-to-head with Owen so it'll be interesting to
see how this one pans out. And so when the water goes off at
Audrey's salon and she's forced to move all her clients to have
their cut and blow's done in Gail's front room, David blames Owen
for cutting off the water supply. As yet, Owen's admitting
nowt.
Daft storyline of the week came and went in Roy's Rolls
when Emily and Rita had a Christmas dinner cook off. I'm sure on
paper this must have looked at least a little bit funny but it just
didn't work, not for this fan. In fact, not only did it not work, it
was a wee bit embarrassing to watch.
And finally this week
there's been more carry on between Carla and Peter who are on again,
off again, while little Simon and Leanne are blissfully unaware of
what this tiresome twosome are up to. Ah, if only the same could be
said of us viewers, what a happier bunch we might be.
And
that's just about that for this week.
