Eileen and Sean are over the moon when they spy two wine glasses downstairs
and assume it's Violet upstairs with Jason in bed. However, hopes are dashed
when Sarah makes her appearance by the sofa and Eileen has a strong word
with her son. When Jason finds out that Violet wants him back, he makes things
up with her but Sarah's not about to forget their naughty night of passion.
She bombards the poor lad with text messages: "r u ok?" followed by a large
number of kisses that could have only meant a numbed finger after all that
pressing. So things are back on between Violet and Jason and she
moves back into Eileen's who welcomes her back into the fold with a hug
and a cuppa. But Jason's torn betwixt love and lust. Or at least that's
what it says here. Sarah dumps Scooter this week and the poor lad had
only gone and brought her a gift of a stuffed and mounted halibut, she should
think herself lucky. So Scooter scooted away from the street after
thanking Mrs Platt and telling Sarah he didn't think he could continue the
relationship if she didn't like fish. How odd. Shame really, he was
an excellent character.
Martin helps Robyn move her stuff into her new flat in Liverpool. During
a slushy moment between unpacking her tea-pot and moving the mattress, Martin
decides to move in there with her. The only problem now is that he has
to tell everyone back on the Street. Gail takes the news well as does Sarah,
but David shows his appreciation of the news by getting drunk on Thunderbolt
from BoozeBuster. Gail's called to the school and gives her son a
clip round the ear for his trouble after the headmaster suspends him for
a week. Now, we all know that the first ever hangover is the worst
and I'll bet you that's the last time he'll ever touch Thunderbolt.
I still can't look at aniseed after a bad time with Pernod oh, way back when.
And talking of Pernod have I imagined it or was there really a wonderful
cinema ad in the early 80s that involved a yellow vinyl record in a
juke box? Seriously, I've done internet searches for it, I'd love to see
it again, if you know where it is let me know. Anyway, moving
on.
After the wedding fiasco last week, Cilla refuses to take Les on honeymoon
to Magaluf. "Come on Yana" she tells her best mate. "All you need
is your passport, you can wash your knickers in the pool". And with that
they were gone, leaving Les home alone with Chesney, Fiz, Kirk and the dog.
Candice mopes around the salon waiting for the call from the Quo that
will whisk her away from the cobbles and into the limelight. She
waits but it just doesn't come. But hang on, what's this, a fax arrives
in the salon! I don't know who was more suprised - Candice to receive
the fax or Maria to discover ther was a fax machine in the shop. Anyway,
the fax tells Candice to be ready to rock and roll at 3pm sharp. She's all
packed and she's said her goodbyes. She's even given Sarah her best salon
comb as Audrey will be looking for a replacement no doubt. 3pm comes and
goes and Candice is still waiting. And just when everyone had given
up hope, here comes Quo man Barney in a car that's broken down and is being
towed on the cobbles. In hops Candice and away she goes with the Quo.
Some people leave Corrie with more of a bang than a whimper, but Candice
left with a band as a crimper (thanks for that one, Barry). And although
I didn't expect it, I did find myself with a tear in my eye as Candice was
leaving. Let's hope she'll be back in say, three years time, as a
burned out rock-chick demanding a double gin for breakfast in the Rovers and
chain-smoking cigars.
It was high drama over at Streetcars this week when Lloyd got his windscreen
smashed and Ronnie knows that Jimmy was the culprit. Eileen - a woman
with a face that looks like it needs a good, strong cup of tea - is under
orders from Steve and Lloyd to keep Claire and Ronnie in the cab office
and not let them out of her sight. But as soon as she nips out for
the barm cakes, Ronnie picks up a cab job at a deserted farm and off she goes
alone with her hair curled and lacquered just in case 1987 should be hanging
about on Rosamund Street. At the farm is Jimmy who's got a gun, and
his son, who hasn't. Eileen alerts Steve that some woman's just come
into Streetcars to tell them that Ronnie's in danger so he screams over there
in his taxi just in time for Jimmy to point the gun in his face as well as
Ronnie's. Then comes Lloyd doing handbrake turns in his cab, ooh, it
was just like Dukes of Hazzard with a country lane where a freeway would
have been. Now the police are on the trail and there's a bit of a kerfuffle
and the goodies end up smashing into a barn and the baddies are carried away
on a stretcher. It's brandies all round in the Rovers afterwards for
Lloyd while Steve escorts Daisy Duke and her hair-do back to the flat for
some TLC.
Mind you, Lloyd almost didn't manage to get through this week never
mind get involved in a car chase. Kelly decided to get her own back
on him for messing her about as he's seeing another woman. She puts - count
'em - five packets of laxatives in his drinks at the Rovers when he cancelled
another of their dates for an emergency darts meeting. Lloyd ended
up in agony in the Rovers and was rushed to hospital where Kelly had to come
clean about what she'd done. Needless to say he wouldn't accept her
apology the next day although Eileen made the best of the box of chocolates
Kelly brought into Streetcars for Lloyd. Lloyd finally explains that
the woman he's seeing isn't a lover or anything like that, he's repaying
a debt to a woman who's married who gave him the money to buy his share of
Streetcars. Kelly doesn't believe a word and tells him to get lost.
At the kennels Molly is turning Kirk's head when they try out dog biscuits
together. Fiz is losing her grip on the relationship as Kirk falls for Molly's
canine charms, not realising that she's out to destroy his relationship
with Fiz.
And finally this week, Gail hosted a bonfire party in her back garden.
Keith's pigs were safely indoors and he brought along homemade nettle wine.
Rosie ranted about vegetarian food (lack of) and Audrey's hat (mink) before
throwing said hat onto the bonfire while sister Sophie chanted manically
into the fire: "Kill the hat! Kill the hat!" before her head spun round three
times and she turned into a newt. Sally might have brought her homemade
bonfire toffee but she had to leave in shame with her daughters.
And that's just about that for this week.
