There’s been waltzing in Weatherfield at Hayley’s
ballroom dancing exam where she gains her bronze badge with Norris’
help. He says Mary’s got two left feet and calls her “deranged”,
although Mary says she’s “animated”. And so Norris drops Mary as
his dance partner and takes up with Hayley instead. Kitted out in
fascinator and frock, Hayley glides across the floor with Norris as
her guide while back home in the caff, Roy challenges Mary to a game of chess. But it looks like Mary’s got
more on her mind than castles and knights and wants to lead Roy a
merry dance of her own as she determines to make Norris well jell.
Marcus and Sean split up
this week in tearful scenes after Sean accuses Marcus of having a
fling with Aiden at work and then storms into th’ospital accusing
Marcus of all sorts and making a right show of himself. Marcus moves in across the
road with Maria and Liam which is uncomfortable viewing because we
know Maria’s got a crush on Marcus but he doesn’t know that -
yet. And so, as Marcus
and Sean kissed goodbye and gave each other a farewell
hug…
…Lloyd returned and kissed Steve hello and gave him a
welcome hug. Yes, Lloyd’s back in town and in wonderful style, the
Odd Couple are back together. Steve and Lloyd. Lloyd and Steve,
happy as happy as happy can be. Lloyd’s been to
Jamaica where he came unstuck in a swampy property deal and
headed home to Weatherfield to work for rival cab firm Primo Cars,
managed by Mad Goran. I do hope he’s one of those characters we’ll
get to see some time soon. Much like Fat Brenda’s cousin Sasha who
was mentioned this week, just in passing, like. Anyway, Steve offers
Lloyd a driving job back at Streetcars but Lloyd gets the wrong end
of the switch-stick and thinks he’s coming back as partner and
moving in with Steve in the
cab office flat . And so, as Steve and Lloyd fall out and
their friendship gets fractious…
…Peter pins Nick up against
the wall, breathes down his neck and shouts quietly in his ear that
if he should so much as harm a hair on little Simon’s head now he’s
living with Nick and Leanne, he’ll stick a HotPot somewhere the sun
don’t shine. No,
Peter’s not happy to hear that Nick and Leanne are not only back
together again but that Leanne and Simon are moving into Nick’s flat
in Victoria Court.
Peter’s jealous of course, of Leanne, of his son living with
another man, and it’s left to Carla to point out the bleedin’
obvious which Peter continues to
deny.
Meanwhile, down at No. 13,
Beth and Tracy try to put off another prospective buyer who wants to
view Steve’s house. But they can’t pull the wool over Kevin
Webster’s eyes, he used to live there and knows the house is sound
and he wants to move in.
But before he
does, there’s a great comedy moment in the Rovers when Craig’s rat
Darryl jumps into Beth’s handbag and she pulls the rat out of the
bag just as the council inspector is doing his bit in the back room
of the pub. Cue much hilarity and shouts of “Didn’t Corrie do that
storyline 20 years ago with Alec Gilroy and the spider?” Yes, I hear you reply, they
did.
And finally this week, Fiz has got the flu. So has
Chesney and Katy and so Anna takes the babies across the road and
looks after little Joseph and Hope. Izzy and Gary help out where
talk turns them both becoming parents one day. And by the look on
Izzy’s face when Gary says he’s not ready for it and says he’d leave her if it
happened to them, there’s summat Izzy’s not telling anyone yet. Baby
news breaks next week so tune in again. Same bat time, same bat
channel.
