Check out the Coronation Street Blog - it's FAB
Poor Steve. There he is at work in Streetcars and there's the thud-thud-thud-ping-wobble-wahey-thud-thud-thud
of the bed in the flat above as Joe and Karen are at it. You know,
it. Helped by Jason and given courage by beer Steve exercises his landlord's
right and goes into Joe's flat while he's at work. He bundles all Joe's
stuff into boxes and dumps it in front of Joe and Karen as they leave work
at the factory. Not that this does any good as Karen promptly moves Joe into
the flat next door with her. Meanwhile back at the Grimshaw's, Eileens'
got more than enough on her plate now that Jason's back and Todd's trying
to study so she suggests that Steve moves into Joe's vacated flat.
She even goes with him to tidy things up, ah bless.
Poor Vera. There she is having her hair done at the salon thinking
she's getting a good deal when really she's getting done over. Audrey leaves
Maria and Candice to get on with the job and Vera ends up with (Cadbury)
purple hair. Anyway, Vera continues to give Gail a hard time over losing
her life savings to that Richard Hillman bloke and ends up throwing a stone
through Gail's front window. David comes to Gail's defence and retaliates
by throwing a stone through Vera's front window too. Jack manages to
calm things down and invites young David into the house to explain himself.
He tells Vera how his mam cries at night over the way Richard ruined their
lives and it isn't her fault that Vera lost her money. It's a lovely scene
and Vera makes up with Gail in the end.
Poor Gail. There she is saddled with debts and the solicitor can
only bring her bad news. Seems as though Richard took out all sorts
of loans on their joint accounts and even the money from the sale of the
flats won't be enough to repay the bank what they're owed. There's
only one thing for it, she'll have to sell the house and when Audrey hears
about it she offers to have them all move in with her. Sarah's hoping
to move into a flat with young Todd-me-laddo but Gail is against it.
Poor Rosie. There she is all of 12 years old and wishes she'd never
been born. Kevin and Sally aren't sure what's happened to their sweet
little daughter when she starts wearing make up, demanding a mobile phone
and brings home her two new best mates, Jezebel and Lolita. While Sally's
a bit more understanding, Kev is furious with Rosie's behaviour, especially
when she gets her belly button pierced, runs off to Birmingham to audition
for a girl pop band, loses her purse and gets brought home by a copper.
Poor Jack. He wins £250 in a competition but needs £300
to pay the phone bill for cover all these competition calls he's been making.
He also wins 3 year's supply of bathroom requisites with his winning slogan:
"Delecto, the lav you must have". There was a lovely scene this week
between Jack and Vera after Vera makes up with Gail. As the Duckies
share a beer and think on about all they have got, rather than what they've
not, Vera gets that glint in her eye and leads Jack up to bed. Flamin'
Nora.
Poor Les. Not. Kirk is so convinced that Les is innoent of
all charges of beating up the copper that he arranges a staged fight in the
Rovers with Swanny the ex-boxer. The plan is for Swanny to pick a fight with
Kirk at the bar, Les will step in and close the fight down and be hailed
as the hero of the hour. Of course it all goes wrong and Les and Kirk end
up with black eyes. No one will act as a character witness for Les,
which is hardly surprising, and his court date is a week on Monday. Curly,
meanwhile, is finding it harder to excuse Emma's actions and when she invites
him for a drink with Janice and Mick in the Rovers, he's clearly unhappy
about having to compromise his principles.
And finally this week Fred looks forward to putting more of his sausage
the way of Petula Peach the abbatoir heiress - but more of that next
week.
And that's just about that for this week.
