After Mike caught Tyrone and Katy in his flat last week he gives
Tyrone a hard time by telling him he wants back the money he's nicked from
his flat. Tyrone knows he didn't nick any money but to clear his name that
Mike wants dragging through the mud, he resorts to trying to steal a car
to pay back the cash. Word spreads on the grapevine that Mike's lost a thousand quid and he really puts Tyrone through themangle
this week until finally admitting he was winding him up to teach him a lesson.
I don't know if it was the colour going iffy on our telly this week or
what like, but the female characters seemed to be in extreme make-up most
of the time. Shelley, Tracy and Angela in particular were almost fluorescent
in one episode but that's by-the-by. By the bar was Bev, Shelley's
mum, settling in and I'm still hoping she'll be around for a while.
She's natural for the Rovers, I say she were born to it. Peter's still pulling
the wool over Shelley's eyes and swinging the lead with Bev, which isn't
easy to do, both at the same time. He tells Shelley he wants them to start
a family and Shelley goes all a-flutter with the hand pumps.
Not surprisingly, no-one believes Les was beaten up by a copper even though
his face is black and blue from the beating. Dev sacks him from Street cars
for bringing the taxi firm into disrayputay after being charged with assault.
Mick continues lying to Janice about beating up Les last week but Emma comes
clean to Curly. "You can't do this" he tells her when she says she's
lied on her statement. "I already have" she replies. Much marital discomfit
follows.
By far the best storyline this week was when Karen went off to the trade
fair with Joe. Against Steve's wishes and ignoring his "If you go,
then don't come back", off she goes on her overnight jolly with the boss.
After a hard day at the rag-trade do, Joe wants to spend the night with
Karen, but after a fair bit of flirting she tells him she's going home to
Steve. By this time however, Steve's assumed the worst, gone out to
get drunk and he's been picked up in a bar by a blonde bit called Julie.
After a bit of hows-your-father in the bedroom, there's a call from Karen
to say she's on her way home. Out Julie goes, in comes Karen.
The subtleties of the storyline can't be outlined here, I won't be able to do it justice, but it was really rather
good and showed what an excellent actress Suranne Jones can be. When she
finds the blonde hair in her bed, you just want to scream at Steve with her.
He fumbles for the right thing to say but can't deny what happened and she
leaves the flat, in tears. Excellent stuff.
And finally this week Kirk and Jack fill in (or for American readers: out)
another competition entry to win their dream home. It isn't until Vera points
out that the closing date was over a year ago, that it seems a shame they
won't get to use Kirk's slogan: "My dream house is a public house".
And that's just about that for this week.
