Glenda Young's
novel TRIPLE WHAMMY January 18
2014 Although she’s grateful for the strawberries, the jam, the love and the care her friends have taken in preparing it all for her, Hayley’s in more pain this week and exhausted too. She tells Roy it’s time for her to go, she wants to starts saying her goodbyes (crikey, I’m filling up just typing this) and so Roy wheels her down the cobbles in her wheelchair. And while I’m sure the pavement would have been a lot smoother ride and caused her less pain, it wouldn’t have been Corrie if he hadn’t wheeled her right down the middle of the Street, bumpy cobbles and all. Hayley says her goodbyes to Ches and Sinead on the Street, to Carla in the factory and to Tracy with a well-deserved retort: “Your mother’s ashamed of you, your daughter barely knows who you are and your donor kidney would have left you if it could.” It’s time for Hayley to go, she tells Roy. It’s time. She wants to end her own life on her own terms before the pain becomes too much, before her mind reverts to life before she became Hayley. She wants to go when the time is right for her. “My body’s shutting down and my mind’s not far behind it.” “When?” Roy asks her, not daring to hear her what she might say. “Tomorrow,” she replies. Elsewhere this week, all else pales into insignificance but life goes on and so must this weekly update. Marcus and Maria decide to buy a house together and go for a viewing on a place in Lowry Mews. Todd’s not convinced (and neither am I) that Marcus is happy being with a woman and tries it on with Marcus, wondering if the new house is on a bend or a straight bit of the road. I fear Marcus is more stuck in a cul-de-sac with Maria. Todd tries it on with Marcus and almost gets a kiss on the cobbles before Eileen catches them at it and puts a stop to Marcus coming out of the closet, again. For now, anyway Owen decides to go into business with Pat Phelan on a new building project called The Mill. Phelan’s been declared bankrupt and is clearly a shady character with a dodgy past so there’s plenty to put Anna off from Owen getting into debt to fund the new flat build, but he does it anyway. As the champagne cork pops in Anna’s kitchen to celebrate the deal, Pat Phelan’s trophy wife coos: “I’d have that noise as my ringtone if I could.” And finally this week, Dev takes St Ella to the Weatherfield Retailers’ Ball. It’s a bit of a non-story but did make me wonder whatever happened to W.A.R.T.S.? This week's writers were Jonathan Harvey,
Peter Whalley, Jan McVerry. Find out more about the Coronation
