As Peter plans to spend his life in Spain with Lucy and Simon, Ken's concerned
and Deirdre's not bothered: "Oh, that's one less for tea then?". For
her piece of mind, Lucy says she has to be there when Peter tells Shelley
he's leaving the country and in a packed bar at the Rovers in front of everyone
plus assorted extras, Peter delivered the news - and then Shelley whacked
him right across the face. And then, oh, then, he turned to Lucy and said
he was ready to leave but Lucy got the last laugh and told him he wasn't
going anywhere. Not only did she not have a ticket for him, she'd never planned
to take him along with her at all. I nearly choked on my ciabatta (living
in north London, ciabatta has become a staple of my diet but by 'eck I miss
stotties). Off she goes to the airport with pleading Peter and caring
Ken in tow only to jump aboard a Kanga Air flight and hop off to Oz.
Anyway, back on the cobbles Peter tells Ken he's off to Plymouth and away
he went in his car. I don't know about you, but he's another one I'll not
miss.
Kirk's got delhi-belly, Les has the Weatherfield wobbles and both blame
Fred's dracula pies for giving them food poisoning. Fred won't hear of it
but plays safe and tries to bribe them both with beer and beef. He also
contacts the Weatherfield Gazette who send a reporter to cover the grand
launch of Fred's new pies. But when Fred tries to get baby Josh to
eat some to prove to the pulsing throng at the butcher's door that the pies
are safe to eat, nanny Claire says nay, she won't let him do it. Not
because she thinks the pies are unsafe, but because she's against Fred using
Josh for publicity purposes - and Ashley agrees. Anyway, the Gazette
gives the story front page news: "Butcher Fred eats humble pie", and Kirk
and Les play up their condition until Fred notices them both drinking pints
pulled from the bottle of the barrel in the Rovers - proof if it were needed
that his pies weren't the cause of their galloping backdoor trots.
Dev's not making much progress with Maya the lawyer and isn't best pleased
to see her kissing another bloke when she'd cancelled her date with Dev.
Turns out she's seeing a married man for which she makes no apology as she
reckons Dev's got something going on with Sunita. Maya says she'll
stop seeing her married man if Dev stops seeing Sunita - and if that means
sacking her, then that's what Maya wants. Meanwhile, Sunita's enjoying
seeing Dev getting wound up by his new woman. "Does she think you're
her Mr Right?" she asks him "And that your first name is Allways?"
As if being 45 degrees in a love triangle she didn't know she was involved
in, Sunita has enough on her plate, being messed around by Ciaran yet again.
Bev's got Ciaran working all hours at the Rovers while Shelley takes
a break and Sunita complains she's not seeing enough of her fella.
Meanwhile, Bev's enjoying the company of Sunita's young man and the two of
them have a snog in the back room of the Rovers just as Betty comes in and
catches them at it: "Well! Excuse me, I must say" she goes, with her arms
firmly folded under her very ample bosom.
A couple of new faces turned up on the street this week - Charlie and
Paul - when their builder's van broke down and Kev fixed it for them.
They got themselves a bit of a storyline by upsetting Mike Baldwin when
they parked their van in his space outside of Underworld and then he blocked
their van with his car when they were ready to leave. I mention this only
because Charlie's got the sort of face that looks great on TV. His face is
right familiar, like a cover from a football magazine, circa 1975. He's a
bit of rough with a smooth line in patter, the type of masculinity Corrie
hasn't seen since the days of Ray Langton and he could prove interesting in
the weeks to come.
And finally this week, all is not well chez Platt and Katy after she cooks
dinner for him (chicken dinosaurs with Scooby-Doo spaghetti) and he's in
the pub talking to Charlie the builder. Mind you, if I had the choice, that's
where I would have been too.
And that's just about that for this week.
