Greetings and welcome to another week of words from Weatherfield. Without any further ado, here we go with this week’s Corrie weekly update.
It’s been a strange old week on the Street. They celebrated VE day, which was at the beginning of May. However, due to episodes being rationed during the coronavirus pandemic, we’re only seeing VE day on Coronation Street now. Still, it provided us with some great moments. Rita singing? Check! Peter dressed up in his naval officer’s uniform? Check! Union flag bunting in the Rovers? Check! Evelyn dressed us as a land girl in the corner shop selling out of date tins of spam and Alex done up in fancy dress in Roy’s Rolls? Check and Check. It was all very well done and I enjoyed the little touches, even Norris returned for a reunion in the Rovers with Ken, Audrey and Rita where Betty was remembered too.
Elsewhere this week, some lovely scenes between Emma and Alina as they struggle over their affection for caveman Seb. Each time Emma and Alina are together, it’s lovely, it’s like a pink bubble gum wash comes over the screen and these two could be best friends, forever. And then Seb arrives, all hair and raging hormones and attitude and the scene falls flat. He needs to stalk elsewhere and leave these two lovely girls alone.
At Roy’s Rolls, David and Shona try to get to know each other once again. Is it wrong to say that I like this version of Shona much better than the one before she lost her memory? Well there it is, I do. She’s fun. She laughs, she smiles, she chucks herself at David in an effort to find out what she really feels for this man who says he’s the love of her life. She doesn’t know, she can’t remember, but will shagging him bring back her memory? David turns Shona down and walks out of Roy’s flat.
Little Oliver’s diagnosis is about to be delivered this week. The episode ended when Steve and Leanne were called into hospital. I don’t see the point of this story at all. Yes, I know it raises awareness but I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I don’t care about Oliver. He’s a character we’ve hardly seen and unless this storyline does something drastic like bring Leanne and Steve back together leaving Nick and Tilsley to go sub-duvet then I wonder what’s the point?
And finally this week, Toyah, Nina and Evelyn go out on another protest for something or the other which isn’t quite explained. The point being that Toyah had to be back in time for a secret appointment with Imran as they were meeting someone from the council coming to talk to them both about fostering a child. Yes, this has come from nowhere. And it was just as much a surprise to actress Georgia Taylor as it was to us fans. In this week’s Inside Soap magazine, Georgia revealed that the first she knew about the fostering storyline was when she read it in her script. Mind you, she also said she wanted the return of Spider and I can only agree with that.
And that’s just about that for this week.
