Cast your mind back to last week, to Katy lying on the sofa in a coma.
Scooter’s just smashed the door in and Martin’s by Katy’s side waiting for
th’ambulance to arrive. Sarah gives Martin a letter she’s found by Katy’s
body, it’s in an envelope marked ‘The Truth’ - and you know it must be serious,
truth always is when it comes in capital letters. Katy’s taken to
th’ospital and hooked up to tubes and dials and all manner of props as Martin
reads the letter by her bedside. It takes a while for it all to sink in but
he slowly realises it is indeed True. He takes the letter to Angela
in prison and she continues to protect Katy at first until she realises there’s
no use fighting any more. Martin takes the letter to the rozzers and
they question Angela again but they aren’t too keen to let her off the hook,
not when they’ve got a signed confession from her already, evidence of her
DNA at the scene and a big tick in the box on their solved crimes list of
murders. Angela tells them
that the wrench she buried with Tommy in the coffin might still have
Katy’s fingerprints on it and there’s only one thing for it. Up he’ll
have to come. Meanwhile, Craig finds out the whole horrible truth
and Gail takes him under her wing at her house until he thumps Martin, blaming
him for it all. And you know what, as far as Corrie thumps go, it wasn’t
a bad one.
The DIY MDF coffin from MFI that Ray had requested is finally screwed together
by Tracy PDQ on the Barlow’s dining room table. Ray’s funeral was held this
week with all the regulars out in force wearing black. “It’s baps
back at Blanche’s” says Norris with glee after the formalities are finished.
Steve’s new woman Louise stays overnight with him before flying back to
Ireland. She’s a really nice woman, probably too nice for Steve so it’s no
surprise that she’s gone no quicker than she came. Which leaves Steve
alone and lonely in his flat. And after Ray’s funeral, Tracy’s feeling vulnerable.
Not a good combination so you can guess what comes next. A few hugs
and a bit of red wine and Tracy gets what she’s always wanted. While
Steve’s confused about his feelings for Tracy, Blanche is in no doubt as
to what’s going on. She tells Tracy Steve’s just taking advantage of
her and reminds he’s been married three times, once for money, once for a
bet, has a jailbird for a father and, well, Liz McDonald for a mother.
So just think on, young ladeh. Tracy doesn’t care, she feels Steve’s
finally given in to her womanly charms but Steve’s not really sure what’s
going on. Liz is delighted with this turn of events but Eileen
reminds Steve that Tracy was the one who drove Karen away and broke up their
marriage.
Fred takes Audrey out to dinner hoping to woo her and win her over with
his idea of bottling St Weather’s Water from the well in her garden.
She’s almost taken in by this daft scheme of his until Mike points out that
giving Fred 50% of the profits from the well in her garden isn’t good business
sense. Audrey tells Fred she wants out of the deal and he’s not best
pleased, especially when he’s told Shelley he’ll sell the Rovers to finance
this new venture and Shelley and Charlie have now agreed to buy the pub.
Fred’s further depressed when Roy tells him he’s researched further and the
hole in Audrey’s lawn isn’t likely to be a well as he first thought, it’s
more likely to be the opening to a mine shaft. This hasn’t deterred Fred from
sampling the water he’s pulled out of the well although hasn’t yet made the
connection to why he keeps needing to go spend a penny more than usual.
When she finds out that two premierships scouts (dyb dyb dyb) are watching
Warren on the pitch, Candice is worried that he’ll dump her when he becomes
a famous footballer. She decides to do something about it and after moping
around the salon getting in everyone’s way and on everyone’s nerves, she
announces to Audrey: “I’m just going out to get famous”. She decides
to be a weathergirl and although she’s dim and overcast, Candice does her
best and practises pointing and hand moving, smiling and turning.
The book club can’t decide on which book to read next. Blanche fancies
another Mel Hutchwright but she and Norris disagree on the gender of the
author. Blanche says it’s a woman and Norris reckons it’s a man and
advises Blanche to write to the publisher to find out the truth. Oh
yes, it can’t be long now before Mr Hutchwright makes an appearance on our
screens in the form of Sir Ian McKellen, whom I last saw around these
parts in coloured bloomers at Christmas.
And that’s just about that for this week.
