Dominating the storyline this week, again, has been the Harris hammer
horror. Katy’s still shaking, Angela’s still wobbling and my
patience is snapping but let’s crack on. After Hayley posted the letter
from Sheffield that Angela had written to herself, Mrs H. is wondering why
the police are ignoring her pleas to get the family back on the witness protection
programme. She finds out soon enough when they arrest her for murdering
her husband. (This led in our house to a discussion on what was the
official word for doing in the father of your children and we decided that
although the term wasn’t spermicide, it probably should be). As a drunken
Angela sings along to “Why? Why? Why? Delilah” with the girls in the Rovers,
it’s “Bye! Bye! Bye! Angela” as the rozzers take her away in the van.
Angela’s dad comes to look after the kids and takes them home to Sheffield
after Katy says goodbye to her mates in the Rovers. Whe she spies Martin,
the bloke she once looked at in a come-hither way, she now gave him a look
that withered. Honest Hayley confesses to the police that she posted
the letter and she’s arrested for attempting to pervert the course of justice.
Better news for Steve this week when he meets a lovely young woman on
the Red Rec as he’s out walking Amy. Louise is a single mum, over from
Ireland staying with her sister and Steve’s heart’s in a flap over his new
love. After she bumps into the happy couple on the cobbles, Tracy’s
jealousy gets her drunk in The Weatherfield Arms and then ends her up in
bed with a new bloke called Nathan. Now then, Nathan doesn’t yet know
what a psycho Tracy is which is why he’s sticking around for now and gets
a job at the garage helping Tyrone while Kev’s away on holiday with Sally
and the girls. Ah yes, Sally, she’s not sure she’ll have a job to come
back to after Ian gets an identikit blonde temp in to cover at the car salesroom
while she’s away.
Roy and Hayley prepare for the return of Les and Cilla from Spain but
when they don’t get off the plane they’re supposed to, little Chesney starts
to worry so Roy makes some calls. It turns out they’re both working
on the Costa - Cilla’s a hostess in a fun pub, Les is bar manager and neither
of them have any plans to return. A bloke I know told me he once
knew a woman who was exactly like Cilla. Exactly, he said, then he shivered
and took a long, slow, drink from his pint, with a haunted look in his
eyes.
When Deirdre tells Ken: “I’ve had Julie and Donna fighting over a mouse
mat and using me as a go-between”, you know she’s had a bad day at work and
is in no mood for listening to what Ken’s got to say. But when he
tells her he’s booked the registry office for Friday April 8th, she’s quite
lost for words. Ray decides he’ll go home to Amsterdam but the doctor
tells him he’s too ill to travel so he sticks around at the Barlow’s with
only days to live. Ken invites him to the wedding and Ray accepts.
Fred buys a monstrous garden statue and not surprisingly, Claire and
Ashley refuse to entertain it. So, Fred decides to sweet talk Audrey into
taking it instead. Off he goes with little Josh to recce Audrey’s
garden and ends up falling in a hole that opens up in her lawn. Firemen
are brought in and Fred is hauled out of the hole. Well, well, well.
But the burning question this week is, just who is Big Alice at Streetcars?
And that’s just about that for this week.
