- December 26
Tis the season to be jolly with peace and goodwill to all
men. A for the women, they're at each other's throats with Tracy
telling everyone who'll listen that Becky pushed her down the stairs
and killed her unborn twins. Stressed Becky necks back the voddy
straight from the bottle, she's beside herself with misery, made
worse when she spots Steve on his knees on the cobbles asking
Tracy-luv to marry him and of course the deluded mare, she says yes.
There's more voddy, more necking, more crying, more tears. And then
Becky crawls up to her flat, burns her wedding pictures of Steve and
falls asleep on the sofa as the flat goes up in
flames.
But fear not, for lo, there's a mobile
phone gone astray at Gail's house and Nick recognises it's Becky's,
dashes to her flat to give it back to her, spots the flames, drags
Becks out and is hailed a hero. Mind you, I was surprised the role
of Becky's saviour wasn't given to Saint Stella of the Rovers, she
seems to have an uncanny and irritating knack of saving every
troubled soul on the Street and she's only been in the show five
minutes.
Anyway,
Becky's more determined than ever to prove Tracy's telling lies
about losing the babies and reports herself to the cops for
assaulting Tracy. There's method in her madness when the cops quiz
Tracy and demand to know why she didn't report the assault herself.
Ooh, it'll all come out, just you wait and see. And in the meantime,
every time a flash of guilt crosses Deirdre's face, the camera pans
right in on her and you can see right up her
nose.
Peter and Carla share a
Christmas moment and he gives her necklace. It's a necklace that
Stella (see, she's involved again) has already seen in Peter's
shopping bag and assumes it's for Leanne's Christmas gift, but it's
not, it's for Carla.
It wouldn't be Christmas without a
lickle baby and in true soap fashion, unto us Corrie fans a child is
born at the Weatherfield Community Centre nativity play. Pregnant
Katy steps in to play Mary when little FAYe drops out with nerves.
Katy goes into labour and gives birth to a little boy they name
Joseph with a middle name of Peter after Chesney's dog Schmeichel,
which was a nice touch. Chesney almost missed the birth though
?cos he was dressed as an elf stranded in the middle of a forest.
It's a long story and if were more interesting I'd tell you, but
it's not.
Left to
the babysitting while Katy goes on a night out with Anna, Fiz and
Izzy, Chesney enlists Kirk's help to get his new baby off to sleep.
"How der yer do it?" wonders Chesney when Kirk rocks baby Joseph
Peter Battersby-Brown Armstrong to sleep. "I whisper lines from me
favourite films in his ear". I bet mumsnetters were all over the
forums with that one.
At the nativity, little Simon's playing
an innkeeper. "Like Steve?" he asks Ken. "More like a simple man,"
replies Ken to which little Simon goes: "Like
Kirk?"
Gail's back from Milan and
in a bad mood so Kylie offers to leave her to her Menopause Monthly
magazine and cook Christmas dinner instead. It's all a bit tense but
it goes to plan in the end and Kylie stands by her sister,
encouraging her to wreak revenge on tacky Tracy.
On Christmas Day, David
Platt celebrated his 21st birthday. And as any Corrie fan knows,
Rosie Webster was born the day before David, on Christmas Eve, yet
her 21st went unmentioned, which was rather odd I thought. But
anyway Rosie's far too busy organising Sophie and Sian's lesbian hen
party to remember her own 21st. Like, er, no, that just would not
happen. At the hen do, Amber does her best to mooch about looking
miserable and Sunita knows that summat happened between Amber and
Sophie and tells Sophie to look into her heart before she marries
Sian. Rita turns up first at the hen-do and Rosie takes her coat.
"Have you ever been to a teenage lesbian hen party before?" she asks
Reet who has a quick think, because there's not much this woman
hasn't done, before replying. "Do you know, I don't think I have."
At Roy's Rolls, Rita, Emily, Norris and
Dennis are put right off their sprouts when Sylvia returns from her
cruise. She's full of tales of a sprightly seventy-odd year old
called Milton, an American, who gave her the glad-eye while she was
onboard. Sylvia then gets out her uke-banjo and gives them a festive
fiddle, prompting Norris to declare he can do better. Sylvia demands
that he prove it and lays a £50 bet that she'll win the musical
stand-off. Mary offers to be Norris' musical muse and teach him to
play the piano when he admits that he's rubbish at tinkling the
ivories.
And
finally, Izzy and Gary have a Christmas snog. I love these two
together, I really do.

that for this week. Remember, sign up to get these spam-free Corrie
