Sally tells Rosie if she wants to be a star she'll have to focus on her
work and give up boyfriend Craig. Unsure what to do, Rosie goes to
see Craig who's burned her a CD and put her picture on the front. Ah, bless.
He tells her she's dead good and should reach for the stars, climb every
mountain, follow every rainbow and ford every stream. She ponders on
this, remembers what her mam said and then duly dumps Craig. It doesn't
last though. Next thing you know Rosie's got a lovebite on her neck
and tries to hide it with a scarf. A frustrated Sally tells a tragic
tale about Isadora Duncan under a Bugatti and sends Rosie to her room with
the harsh words of her mother ringing in her ears: "I though you wanted to
be singer, not a slapper!".
The Karl / Todd storyline has worthy written all over it. Unfortunately
it's now also dull. The most powerful thing on the story this week
has been Todd telling Eileen he's gay and Eileen siding with Todd not because
she's supporting her son coming out but because of her negative feelings
towards Sarah. Stressed Sarah this week is rushed into hospital when
she starts bleeding and thinks that her baby has died. It hasn't, she's kept
in for observation and Todd tries to pull away from Karl and convince himself
that Sarah and the baby are what he wants in life. He even sets a wedding
date of July 3rd. There was a scene at the very end this week
with Todd in Karl's room but as I turned the TV over to watch the snooker,
your guess is as good as mine as to what happened next. Answers on a postcard
please or not if you prefer, I don't mind really. A postcard anyway would
be nice.
Feeling guilty for making Monica disappear, Maya magics up a puppy in a
basket and leaves it on the Duckie's doorstep. It's a Great Dane puppy
that Tyrone names Schmeical - after the greatest goalkeeper that Jack reckons
there ever was. Unfortunately for Vera, little Schmiecal keeps leaving piles
of own goals all over the carpet and chews her stockings she's left out to
dry before bringing them back up on the penalty spot. Just as they're
getting used to the new pup, in walks Monica, back from who knows where and
been up to all sorts. Tyrone is as happy as a dog with two tails or
a man with two dogs, or a man with two tails, I can never remember which it
is but I suspect the latter.
Fed up with being made to play the fool, it becomes clear to Fred - by
Audrey coming straight with him in the Rovers - that he's been duped. I say
he's been conned by Penny and Mike who've been at it behind his back.
When they told Fred they were doing business together, they were doing the
business instead. Fred goes to Mike's flat in a state of some inebriation
and tells Penny he would have expected notihng less than betrayal from a woman
- but from his bessie mate Mike? Well, he's distraught.
Meanwhile Mike has been given the insurance money to get the factory refurbished
so he can get back into lady's pants. When he finds out that the building
company he's hired has subcontracted to Charlie Stubbs and Jason, he's not
best pleased but realises he doesn't have much choice other than to let the
local cowboy start work on his pride and joy.
And that's just about that for this week.
