 Glenda Young's new novel
Belle of the Back Streets
There’s an oddness about Corrie right now. We’re coming to the end of ex- producer Kate Oates’ storylines. We’re in transition, which isn’t good viewing and I’m sad to say that I’ve found this week, well, turgid. There, I’ve said it. Let’s hope things pick up for a proper Corrie Christmas that new producer Iain MacLeod has promised.
The one highlight for me this week has been Carla Connor and I’m longing for her and Peter to get back together. Instead, she’s saddled with Nicky-no-mates as her business partner. Nick’s wife Elsa arrives and Carla tells Nick that he’s to sell her back his share of the factory or she’ll tell Leanne about Elsa. Good one, Carla. Nick’s got his knickers in a right old twist.
Elsewhere this week, Rana proposes to Kate proposes to Rana. Double diamond works wonders and both ladies say yes. But then Kate talks babies and IVF treatment and desperately wanting to become a mum. Imran warns them both: “A baby is for life, not just for Instagram.” Rana is less enthusiastic about the whole baby thing and you know this relationship is on a hiding to nothing, but still the wedding plans steam right ahead.
Evelyn gets right on Fiz’s wick especially when she finds, and wears, a pair of Vera’s old ear-rings. Tyrone has a word with Evelyn and is torn between his nan and his wife.
With Sally still locked up, Gina starts to get cosy with Tim and it’s clear he enjoys her company. But then Gina starts to have feelings for Tim, making him feel uncomfortable. Tim confides in his dad who tells him to act cool with Gina. Meanwhile, Sally sets up a yoga class for the girls on her prison wing.
Over at Streetcars, Steve takes on Abi who’s less than adept in her customer care, it’s fair to say. But he has more pressing things on his mind when he wants Tracy to give him another chance. She’s keen, but when Amy finds out her parents are getting back together, she’s not best pleased. She asks Adam to draw up a contract for Tracy and Steve. And only if they fulfil Amy’s terms will she drop her protest against them.
And that’s just about that for this week.
