Richard's in a panic that his future isn't so rosy because of the Bail Hostel being built by the flats. He sweet-talks Councillor Watts, thinking he can bribe his way with the council into refusing planning permission for the Hostel. But Curly's not for sale - never has been nor will ever be. When he tells Gail what a hole he's in, she jumps right in there with him. "It's my problem too" she whimpers, taking her vows of "for richer, for poorer" a bit too literal for her own good. She suggets re-mortgaging the house and at first Dickie's not keen but then he comes round to the idea. He tells Gail their problems stay under their roof, she mustn't tell anyone and warns her especially to keep schtum to her mum - Audrey mustn't find out that they're in deep doodoo.

With Ciaran gone, Peter's now got some explaning to do to Shelley. He tries his best, they argue a bit and eventually she agrees to come back to him. Not much else to add there really except to say they do work well together as a couple.

Blanche's letter gets printed in the paper and she's over the moon with Hermione's advice to find herself another fella, and soon. Deirdre and Ken look on as she's reading and Blanche is clearly puzzled by Hermoine's further advice to move out out of the house she's sharing with her daughter and to think about moving into sheltered accommodation. Deirdre gives Ken one of her looks.
Actually, as I'm typing this update this week I'm realising that although a lot of stuff has happened this week, none of it has been very good. Stories have moved on apace - but slowly and blandly and there have been a couple of laughs - but not many good ones. So if the update this week seems dirge-like to you (it does to me too) then blame Corrie itself - things really have been pretty dull.
And talking about dull, Nick left this week as him and Maria flew back to Canada. Tyrone had a last ditch attempt to talk Maria into staying when he caught up with her at the airport - but she went anyway.

Oh, and Sally and Kevin ended up in bed together this week. I mean, we all knew it would happen so there was no surprise there. Now she's telling Kev it mustn't happen again (it will) and he says it's ok he's happy with the way things are (he's not) and she says that's fine (it isn't).

Maxine's mum bought a nameplate for the Peacock's house, which is now to be known as Balmoral. And then Vera went one better and renamed her house The Old Rectory. Someone and we don't yet know who, erases the first three letters of the Peacocks nameplate and repaints it as Immoral. Vera is first in the line of suspicion after Doreen said the Duckies house would have been better named as The Pigsty to which Vera retorted, rather magnificently: "Balmoral, my backside".

And that's just about that for this week.
