CORONATION STREET WEEKLY UPDATES |
|
NEW FOR KINDLE... Also for Kindle! Corrie weekly update writer Glenda Young's novel TRIPLE WHAMMY October 5, 2014 I’m really sorry that there was no update last week and with no prior warning either. Life had a way of catching up and overtaking any writing I was planning to do last weekend, although it did involve a visit to the old Coronation Street set where I said my final farewell (you can read all about that at http://coronationstreetupdates.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/our-final-visit-to-old-coronation.html But I’m back at my computer now, wearing my weekly update hat and so without any further ado, here we go with this week’s words from Weatherfield and the Coronation Street Weekly Update. The Square Dealers (remember them?) got a mention this week on Coronation Street when Yasmeen pointed out Sharif was away on a square jolly of a tour of highland whisky distilleries. Although, as Yasmeen points out, what’s a Muslim man wanting to be doing that for, anyway? Well, it doesn’t matter to this fan. The fact that a nod was made to Dealing on the Square by a businessman of a certain age, put a smile on this fan’s face. Yasmeen keeps busy this week trying to convert Fred’s old butcher shop into a community centre, I say community centre. I like the idea, in fact I like it a lot. And I also like Yasmeen, but she fair upset Emily this week when Emily put forward the idea of using the community centre as a base for the 1o’clock club. Yasmeen’s got ideas grander than the 1o’clock club, she said. And by grander, she means younger, of course. Sally’s not well this week, she’s full of cold and Tim does his best to look after her. But when Sally sends him to Dev’s shop with a shopping list, it’s apparent that Tim can’t read it. And it’s not because of Sally’s bad handwriting. It’s because Tim can’t read. How then he ever got in contact with daughter Faye over th’internet is a mystery to this fan and one that I hope Corrie explains. Tim gets leaflets printed to promote his window cleaning round but panics after it’s pointed out that his ‘Satisfaction Guaranteed’ on his leaflets comes from cleaning Dirty Widows, not Windows. Norris has palpitations behind the Kabin counter when he finds one of the leaflets stuffed through his letter box. Tim manages to rescue as many of the leaflets as he can, but not before his phone starts to ring off the hook, Sally takes one of the calls and gives short shrift to a pervy punter. Kylie takes more of Max’s pills this week and then goes off in search of harder drugs in her old haunt. Amongst the breeze blocks in dog dirt city, Kylie meets up with her old mates Gemma and Macca and Callum, Max’s dad. Only Eva knows what Kylie is up to spending time with her old mates in her old life. “You stole an actual bus?” Eva asks Kylie when she finds out the kind of crimes Kylie committed as a kid. “It was only a single decker,” says Kylie and then she lies through her teeth to David about her whereabouts when she finally comes home. Note that as the actresses who play Eva and Kylie are both pregnant in real life, there’s now lots of strategic placement of coats, handbags, cushions and much wearing of long floaty tops. Mary gets in the way of Julie and Dev sharing a bit of a moment together when she lets herself in and interrupts them in Dev’s kitchen. Mary had been out to an organ recital with Roy where she wears a tie with piano keys printed on it. “I got it from my old boyfriend, Conrad Taylor,” explains Mary about the tie. “And I still sometimes see him in town with his better half, Clive.” Mary’s upset and jealous over Dev and Julie’s blossoming friendship and has a word with Dev. “All that talk of spirituality,” Mary moans to Dev about Julie, “She just wants to get her hands on your dhoti!”. Dev takes Mary’s hands in his and tells her that under no circumstances does he have any romantic notions towards Julie. It’s news that takes Julie by surprise, as she hears it when she walks into Dev’s shop, and of course, we all know it’s also a bit of a lie. Dev and Julie could work, I really think they could. And that's just about that for this week.
