I can't think of a better way to start a New
Year and a weekly update than to report that Tracy Barlow as found
this week in a pool of blood.
In the world of soap where baddies always get what's coming
to them, Tracy got it bad and in the back yard of the Barlow's
house. But who's caved
her head in and with what? My money's on Mrs Peacock with the frying
pan but it's Steve and Becky who are under suspicion. It doesn't help Steve's case
that he was the one who was found next to Tracy's body with blood on
his hands. But there's
a list as long as your arm as to who could have attacked
Tracey-luv. Perhaps it
was David who she bedded upstairs at the Barlow's then joked about
the size of his manhood in front of everyone at the Rovers. Perhaps it was Nick who she
tried to bed in the backroom of the bookies until Leanne came in
causing Barlows Interruptus, as the couple were caught in flagrante
delicto which was 5-2 odds on at Aintree. And perhaps it was Gail who
wanted revenge on Tracy for sexing up both her Plattilsely boys.
Over at the garage, Kev and Tyrone bicker
over the bashed up big ends. They can't work together, not after
what's happened, but neither want to give up their share of the
firm. Kevin finds a child-minder for little Jack while Sally does
some child-minding of her own when she invites Tyrone in for tea and
snogs him on the doormat.
Mind you, Sally's got much on her mind after finding Sophie
and Sian in bed together, nude.
At the Rovers on New Years Eve, Audrey's
arch-frenemy Claudia arrives and whips her big shiny red hair back
and forth. ?Aud!? she screams to Audrey's dismay. ?Claudie!? Aud replies, to
get her own back. There's a raffle and Audrey's upset when she wins
a hairdo at Claudie's salon. She's eve more upset when she finds out
that Claudia's hoping to open a new salon in Ashley's old butcher's
shop.
Elsewhere this week, baby Hope fights on at
th'opsital as Fiz and John worry and fret around th'incubator. And Owen gives Gary Windass
a job in his building firm after Izzy asks her dad to take Gary on
to give him summat to do. Anna's over the moon that Gary's getting
out of the house as he's been locked away in his room since he came
back from the war.
And that's just about that for this
week.
This week's writers were Mark Wadlow, Damon
Rochefort, Jonathan Harvey, new writer Ellen Taylor and Martin
Allen.
