Just when we thought we were off the emotional rollercoaster
that is Coronation Street, we're thrown straight back on again
when Jim McDonald ends up in a coma! Liz talks Steve into offering
Jim a job as he's down on his luck and drinking too much. Jim
goes to the building site where Steve works and tells him to stuff
his job; he can keep his offer of a job, so he can. He doesn't
need his son to get work for him, so he doesn't. Steve and Jim
argue on the scaffold and start fighting, and then Jim falls backwards
off the scaffold into a skip full of rubble. He's in hospital
in intensive care and the doctor warns Liz that even if he does
regain consciousness, he might end up with brain damage. Steve
tells Liz, the doctor and the police that Jim had been drinking
on the day of the accident, but as I wasn't paying much attention,
I don't know if this was true or not.
Against Gary's wishes, Judy tells Zoe that she's pregnant.
Now poor Zoe, she's going through the trauma of losing her baby,
and although Judy tells her about the pregnancy hoping it will
help Zoe, it does just the opposite. The poor girl really is going
through hell and this only made the situation worse. Even Fred
knows this, as he replaces a £20 note in the corner shop
till that he sees Zoe put in her pocket. He tells Ashley to keep
an eye on Zoe, and not to let her use the till while she's helping
out in the shop, but he doesn't apportion blame, I say, he doesn't
apportion blame. Later, Emily tells Zoe she says a nightly prayer
for Shannon and this is too much for Zoe. Everyone is on eggshells
around her and she's had enough, she just snaps.
Unfortunately,
she snaps at Emily, and chucks a mental (as they say in Australia).
Gary Mallett runs out of the Rovers just in time to stop Zoe from
doing something to Emily's plastic rainhat that she might have
regretted.
Vera is so concerned that Jack has made no effort to stop smoking,
sot she makes him an appointment to see a hypnotherapist, Magenta
Savannah. Jack's healthy living plan isn't making much headway
as he's still on his fry-ups and still smokes like a chimney.
Vera has an idea to turn the Rovers into a non-smoking pub, but
the only two customers who agree with her are Alma and Ken, so
Alec knocks that idea on the head. Jack takes to smoking a pipe
and wonders if he should ask Spider for some of the herbal tobacco
he offered, but Martin advises him against it! Unfortunately for
Jack, his little pipe ends up smashed to pieces when Vera gets
her hands on it.
Alma goes to see Deirdre and asks her outright if she's having
an affair with Mike. Deirdre is aghast, she tells Alma there's
nothing going on between them at all and swears on the memory
of her dead husband, Samir, and the sheds a few tears. "If
he was alive today, none of this would have happened." weeps
Deirdre. Ah yes, pet, but if he was alive today, you wouldn't
have a storyline. Mike asks Deirdre to work for him at the factory,
but Deirdre tells him that while she's grateful for all he's done
for her, she doesn't want to accept any more from him if Alma,
and other folk are going to think the two of them are having an
affair. To save face, Mike tells Alma that he has decided not
to employ Deirdre in case she gets too dependent on him, and Alma
tells Ken. So it looks like Mike wanted to steam up Deirdre's
specs, after all.
Janice Battersby is back on the Street after tending to her
sick mother, and isn't best pleased to be introduced to Greg,
Les' son. She has a go at Les and tells him he should have rung
her at her mothers to give her this news, not spring it on her
in the Rovers, and storms out, telling Les to "Get Stuffed."
Les turns to Greg, "She likes you, I can tell!". Typical
bloke, agh! (No1)
Typical bloke, agh! (No2) Des and Nat are being all smarmy
and flirty with each other, it makes my skin crawl, it really
does, the pair of them together. Nat says she doesn't want Samantha
to find out what's going on as she is a) her colleague and b)
her house mate. Nat is what I like to call "a man's woman"
which is basically the polite name for an old tart really.
See you the week after next.
Glenda ;-)
