The big story this week has been Peter abducting little
Simon and running away with him to a seedy B&B."I'm bored!"
cries Simon while Peter formulates a plan to sail his son away to
Lanzarote on a big ship with Carla before sailing out on the
Atlantic. Yup, that'll work. He rings Carla who packs her bags and
leaves Underworld in Rob and Michelle's uncapable hands, and goes to
Peter in the train station. But Michelle tells Leanne what's going
on and Peter gets more than he expects while he's waiting for his
train. There's tears, there's shouting, there's Leanne and Peter
forcing little Simon to choo-choo-choose which one of them he wants
to live with while the guard blows his whistle and the train has to
leave. Simon choo-choo-chooses to stay with Leanne as Carla sails
away on HMS Barlow for a few months. Don't worry, they'll be back.
And hey, if I could go to Lanzarote right now, I would too.
Meanwhile, Kirsty loses her temper one more time with timid
Tyrone. Any shred of sympathy I might have had for Kirsty has now
gone, because, ladies and gentlemen, she dissed the Jack. Yes, she
picked up a framed photograph of Tyrone and Jack from the sideboard
and smashed it into pieces. There can be no going back after you've
dissed the Jack, no matter how sorry you say you might be. Their
screaming arguments are so loud this time that Eileen and Sean hear
them through the wall next door. Tommy's suspicious about what's
going on behind closed doors but Tyrone says nowt, protecting Kirsty
as much as he can and blaming pregnancy hormones for her outburst
this time.
Up in Maria's flat, Marcus cooks Kirk a meal to
apologise for walking in on him while he was in the shower."What's
your favourite meal?" Marcus asks him."Spaghetti hoops!" replies
Kirk. And so, spaghetti hoops it is, along with a pie Marcus bakes
followed by Kirk's favourite dessert of sherry trifle. It's only
later that Kirk reckons Marcus is after him and has to put him
straight, as it were."I like women! I can't stop thinking about
women!""It wasn't a date," Marcus reassures him to which Kirk
replies:"It wasn't? But we had napkins!"
Maria's fitted up
this week with Jason after Tommy and Tina reckon the two of them
need to get together. Both air-heads, both dumb, you can see how it
would work, but when Jason makes a move and snuggles up on the sofa,
Maria gives him short shrift and shoves him out. The stumble at
Liam's baby gate as Jason tries to leave the flat was a wonderful
touch.
There's bullying at Bessie Street School when one of
the big lads picks on the head teacher. Yup, it's Owen who's out to
get Brian who fails completely in his duty to protect little Faye
from the school bully, when Brian finds out that she's the
granddaughter of one of the School Board of Governors. Come on,
Brian! You're a man, not a mouse. I think. Anyway, he does the right
thing in the end, the bully's suspended, granny's distraught and
little Faye gets a buffet tea from Anna to cheer her right
up.
Over at Underworld, Rob's taken charge and tells a buyer
that he's the new manager. The buyer, a woman of a certain age, has
her head turned by Rob's charm but then walks out when he insults
her with an offer for her knickers that she has to turn down. She
comes back and Rob smoothes out the gusset problem as she places a
big order for knickers and that.
And finally this week, Mary
shows her true colours by lusting after Roy, who is, let's never
forget, the fab Hayley's husband. It's no small wonder that Mary has
no friends. Once she was funny, scatty, but now she's just
desperate, sad. She cries over Roy's choice of music, classical
Elgar. She cries over losing her father. Couldn't Corrie have
chucked in a hot flush just for good measure too? Roy hands her a
tea towel for her to dry her tears, she blows her nose on it and
hands him it back. Over their game of chess in the cafe while
Hayley's out dancing, Mary talks of how she could have worn a low
cut blouse to distract Roy's attention and then giggles when she
dribbles piccalilli on his bishop. But if Mary lays one finger on
Roy, just one, I'll smash her face in. Oi! Mary! No!
