Oakhill Christmas fayre, remarks Sally, is a long way from the Bessie Street
nativity play last year where Rosie caught nits from one of the three wise
men. However, it's not that far away that the Battersby's can't turn
up with little Chesney. Sally almost chokes on her mince pie when she overhears
the headmaster discussing scholarships for gifted children with Cilla and
Les.
Candice is incandescent with shame when her picture's in the paper after
the Weatherfield Borough Christmas Do. She and Warren are snapped comatose
on the cobbles, with her knickers on display. Candice can't understand how
she got so drunk at the party until it becomes clear that Leanne had spiked
her drinks with vodka.
As Tracy loads up the car to travel to Portsmouth to spend Christmas with
Peter, Karen decides to naff off with the car, little knowing that baby Amy
is strapped into the back seat. Karen's beside herself with grief over her
miscarriage and doesn't know what she's doing so when she jumps into the car
she just drives off and around until Steve rings her to tell her that Amy's
in the car too. Tracy finds the car gone: "The car! The car's gone!
And, er, the kid too!" she yells as the street starts to panic and Deirdre
creases her brow. By the time Steve and Tracy find the car on the red
rec, it's up in flames. This was a wonderful scene, running at the same time
as Rita in the Rovers sung 'Silent Night'. Karen's left the baby
with the Croppers and then Tracy corners Karen in the factory. The
pair of them end up on the Underworld roof, fighting over Steve and Tracy's
got a huge plank of wood she's trying to hit Karen with. Steve manages
to stop them from kiling each other and when it's all over and calmed down,
he tells Karen he wants her to move out, he's had enough. After much
crying, the pair of them split up and Karen dodges off in a cab. Another exit,
another taxi, another empty suitcase acting as a bad prop. Although
the Barlows and Liz tell Tracy to give Steve space, she's straight round there
doing his shopping and takes him up to the flat after he drowns his sorrows
in the Rovers.
The big story this week of course has been Ashley and Claire's wedding,
which was just wonderful, with Josh turning up in his Superman outfit.
Ashley's mum Beryl turns up for the wedding and after the organist goes ill,
Norris does the honours but only knows two songs and so the Peacocks walk
down the aisle to the strains of 'We're All Going on a Summer Holiday' which
was thought preferable to the other song he knew how to play: 'Devil Woman'.
Ashley Sibelius Peacock and Claire Jayne Casey were wed and then walked out
of the church under an arch made of butcher's cleavers and fake snow on the
cobbles. It were right lovely.
Caught up in the spirit of the Peacock's wedding, Katy asks Martin to marry
her and he says no. Unperturbed, she then decides to get pregnant and
stops taking her pills.
The Duckies fall out on Christmas day over summat or nothing and Jack has
his Christmas dinner with Frankie and Danny next door. Tyrone's falling
back in love with Maria and she's doing nowt to stop him but Vera and Jack
are worried she'll hurt him again.
Deirdre gets a phone call from Bev, she's worried about her daughter and
asks to meet Deirdre for a drink and a chat about Shelley and Charlie.
Deirdre agrees to sneak Bev back to the Barlows and tells Shelley her mum
wants to see her. Shelley sneaks away from Charlie's beady eye but won't listen
to what her mother is saying, she tells her she doesn't want to see her again.
Bev asks Deirdre to keep an eye on Charlie's behaviour towards her daughter
as she's sure something very wrong is going on.
Other Christmas events included Sean staying at Eileen's for his turkey
and mince pies; Kirk getting confused and giving Schemicel the nighty he
bought for Cilla and Steve getting marital advice from Vera: "I'm a great
believer in mahogany, me".
And that's just about that for this week - and this Christmas.
