Coronation Street Monthly Update
|
IT’S SO wrong but somehow so right. No, not tuna paste toasties,
something much more tasty. It’s Carla and Liam Connor, together at
last. The two dark haired lovelies ended up in each other’s arms
as Liam struggled to cope with the death of baby Paul. Maria
distanced herself from her husband, sure that there was summat
going on between him and his sister-in-law and she was right. But
when pressed on the point (ouch!) Liam swore true love to Maria
after he admitted his feelings for Carla were through. But are
they? As Liam kissed Carla on the doormat the morning after the
night before, Rosie Webster filmed their kiss on her phone. Carla
reckoned she knew what Rosie was up to and tried to buy her
silence with a great big, fat handbag. It’ll all end in tears,
just you mark my words.
Across the cobbles, there’s a house swap to arrange as the
Websters’ move to the bigger house across the road and the Peacocks’
move into their old, small and tatty home. Sally warns Kevin he’ll
have to start drinking wine, he can’t possible drink cans of beer
anymore, not when they’re moving to a house with a conservatory.
What would the neighbours think?
Gail finally came face to face for a heart to heart with her dad.
He’s in her life for the first time in 50 years but it takes Gail a
while to take in the news that her dad’s gay. She’s fair been
knocked sideways out of her comfort zone. Then it was Audrey’s turn
to hear Ted’s news when she swanned in looking like Vernonica Lake
with her new hairdo for a spot of flirting with her ex.
In the bar at the Rovers, it’s all change as Leanne took the
reins behind the bar as the new barmaid. You’ll remember that Leanne
once worked behind the Rovers bar before, a nasty business to do
with drug dealing and Jez Quigley. This time she’ll have Vernon to
fend off and Liz to keep on the right side of. Dan doesn’t quite
know what to make of it. When he went to the gents’, Leanne was on
the customer side of the bar, when he returned she was behind the
bar working and he had that puzzled expression on his face. Mind
you, Dan’s so feckless that you could turn him round twice in his
own living room and he’d be lost.
Leanne’s also got a job as an estate agent selling off Tony
Gordon’s new flats in Victoria Court. They’re 20,000 square feet of
luxurious loft living with a lovely view over the viaduct and if you
buy one on the east wing, you’ll not be downwind of the stench of
kebabs.
Deirdre quizzes Liz about her intentions towards Harry the bookie
while Vernon is off playing in his band on a cruise. Determined to
make her marriage work, Liz gets her wedding picture enlarged and
framed. The photo’s touched up, the bloodstains are taken off
Vernon’s wedding jacket, his teeth are whitened, his hair darkened
and Liz’s wrinkles disappear in the picture that now hangs on the
wall in the back room of the pub. It’s such a scary sight that Steve
takes to playing with bubble wrap to calm himself down.
Becky’s guardian angel in an anorak (aka Roy) doesn’t quite know
what to make of Becky’s relationship with Jason. He does however,
know what to say to Jason and gives him a stern talking to, reminds
him that he’s still a married man and warns him to stop messing with
Becky. Roy then worries he’s old fashioned and arcane. And indeed he
is, and that’s just the way we like him.
By eck, we saw Eccles this month! And while I don’t want to cast
aspersions, because he’s only a little dog and all, but his
reappearance did coincide with the Barlow’s bathroom being flooded.
Ken tried to catch the water in the kettle, panicked a bit and
called Roger the plumber while Deirdre and Eccles French–kissed. I
only wish I had made that last bit up but it was true, at least,
that’s how it looked. And that’s not all. Blanche was in the
bathroom with a damp Jonny Weismuller as Ken grappled with his
stopcock. Oh, it’s been all go in that house this week.
And the latest calamity to befall the cobbles came in the shape
of Kenzie Judd, the coolest boy in school. Kenzie is the ringleader
of a terrible trio who ransack the Kabin, knock Norris to the floor
and steal a hundred quid from the till. Norris is in shock and is
whisked to the Rovers by Emily and Rita where he’s cheered up by
free drinks. Jerry Morton, kebab king of the cobbles, gives chase to
Kenzie and ends up in t’hospital after a heart attack. “I’m Jerry
and the Pacemaker,” he jokes to his kids.
