And so without any further ado, here we go
with this week's Coronation Street update.
Dennis gets a new job and joins the long
line of lollipop men and women who have held the post
(geddit?) in Coronation Street. But he comes in for some stick
when Steve nicks his stick after Dennis holds up the
Streetcars cabs to let the kids cross the road to Bessie
Street School. Being a Lollipop Operative, or as I like
to call them, Lollipoperative, is a job of some import,
they’re there to ensure young and old cross the road in
safety, so why Corrie have always made a joke of the job is
beyond me. But maybe the chicken knows.
Gail is loving playing angel to Lewis’
devil, she’s even pushing him around the cobbles in a
wheelchair while he recovers from the bad back he doesn’t
have. She does his cooking, his cleaning and all the
while Lewis plays the charming house guest, ready to wreak his
revenge in due course. It’ll be quietly done, gentle,
but it’ll be revenge, and oh yes, it will be wreaked.
Over at the Rovers, Tommy’s getting pints
bought for him left, right and centre and he’s drinking them
all, every last one. Everyone’s assuming the baby Tina’s
carrying is his and they all want to congratulate him but all
Tommy wants to do is drown his sorrows. And when they’re
well and truly drowned, he blabs baby surrogacy news to the
whole packed pub. And so, the secret’s out and so is Tommy
when Tina chucks him from the flat. At the same time,
David and Kylie have a falling out over babies and David ends
up staying the night on the sofa in Tina’s flat. When Kylie
finds out she’s straight round there with a crow bar trying to
break the front door down and gets her revenge by snogging
Tommy in full-frontal view of David in the Bistro.
Elsewhere this week, Peter and Carla
return from America just as Leanne and Nick are ready to jet
there to be wed. The new Peter’s all laid-back and
Californian, giving a sly smirk where once he’d have let rip
with his fists and a few choice words after a bottle or
two. Carla heads back to the factory to give Rob a
dressing down about the quality of knickers they’ve been
stitching since she left. Leanne decides she can’t leave
Simon with Peter while she jets off to get wed and so cancels
the wedding only for Nick to rearrange it for Christmas day in
Weatherfield instead. When Carla finds out that Leanne’s
cancelled the wedding and she knows there’s still a spark
between Peter and his ex, she handles things the only way she
knows how – reaches for the bottle and drowns her sorrows,
again.
And that's just
about that for this week. Remember, you can sign up to get
