It's been all go at Weatherfield
General this week. First up is Audrey who's recovering well and
sitting up in best Marksies nightie in th'ospital bed with tubes up
her nose. She wants nowt to do with David who's feeling so guilty he
wants the old salon sign put back up. Kylie's not best pleased and
does what sister Becky would have done, she goes out and gets
bladdered with a couple of lads. Then she ends up in the Bistro,
drunk and dancing on the tables and thumps David across the chops
when he blames her for Audrey's heart attack. And that's the last
we'll see of Kylie for a while as she takes little Max and moves
out.
A short walk across the wards we've got Julie and Brian
having their 12 week baby scan and Julie's all excited in her
special Julie way. But there's bad news as the ultrasound doesn't
show a baby! Julie's not pregnant at all. She does, however, have a
growth on her ovary which will need an operation and she drowns her
sorrows and baby hopes and wishes in the Rovers with a large brandy
or three. Brian's by her side and tries his best to support her in
that special bloke way: "Everything'll be all right." Julie's not so
sure.
Over at Se7venth Hea7en, Terry's having trouble as the
locals stage a sit in. Determined to keep their spirits high, they
order in food from Roy's Rolls and have a sing along, with a classic
Corrie moment when Norris, Mary, Anna and a reluctant Roy do a
wonderful version of Bohemian Rhapsody. I'm loving this storyline.
Terry's a pantomime villain and the dame all rolled into one, oh yes
he is, and there have been some comedy moments and quite touching
scenes too as Tommy tries and fails to find the hero he thinks is
inside his dad's rather portly frame. But Kirsty reckons there's
summat dodgy going on between Terry and Weatherfield Council as his
planning permission for the lap-dancing club has been given too
quick and too easy and sure enough, it's been greased along by a
corrupt Councillor. Pretending she and Tyrone are coppers "Come on,
Dobbs!" they get into the councillor's office and find him there
with Terry. The plot thickens. It gets even thicker when they find
out that the Councillor's new, shiny and expensive Mercedes Benz is
registered in Terry's name and Kirsty sends the info to her mates in
CID. Is this the end of Terry's plan to put strippers on the
Street?
Over at the Rovers, Sean's having trouble with
Betty's hotpot recipe. However closely he follows the recipe, the
hotpot doesn't taste as good as when Betty used to make it and he's
at a loss to explain where he's going wrong. When he delivers a
batch of hotpot to the Rovers, Tina knows what the missing
ingredient is and pours in a whole bottle of stout. "I've seen Betty
do that a million times." A wonderful touch.
Meanwhile, Kevin
thinks he and Sally are back together again but Sally's not so sure.
Sally tells Kevin she loves him but can't love him as much as she
wants to because he loves baby Jack, who's got shifty eyes. Sally
says baby Jack is a constant reminder of Kev's infidelity and she
can't live with it. I would have thought that looking at Kevin would
have been a reminder of Kevin's infidelity but it looks like she's
choosing to blame the baby instead. And what a shifty-eyed looking
baby that is. Sally has a moan and a cry on Rita's well padded
shoulder and then Kevin comes with a cunning plan. He'll offer
shifty-eyed baby Jack to Pam and Bill and then he and Sally can live
happily ever after. Hmm, I wonder.
Elsewhere, the
uncomfortable alliance of Sunita and Karl sets my teeth on edge
every time they're on screen together at the same time. And so when
Dev announces he's taking Aadi away on a kiddie golf game and needs
to stay overnight, Sunita strumpets the news to Karl who fixes his
face with his Cheshire cat grin and this fan tries hard not to
vom.
And finally this week, the Weatherfield in Bloom
competition kicks off and Mary motors into action. She hangs hanging
baskets up whether folk want them or not and thumbs seed catalogues
when she babysits little FAYe. Anna's left her with FAYe as she's
started her evening job in Dev's shop and it's not long before
Mary's made FAYe swap her computer game for polishing her boots.
Love it!
