Sally and Kev dance the matrimonial hokey-cokey. Is Kev in? Out? Or are they
shaking things all about? Well he finally moves in, setting up his bed in the
front room and causing Sally to question what she's doing but hoping it's the
right thing for the kids, because after all, that's what it's all about. Taxi!
Martin can't believe it when Blanche tells him Kev has moved in and despite
cries from our sofa of: "it's got nothing to do with you any more", Martin goes
round there to give Sally his tuppence worth. "It's got nothing to do with you
any more" she tells him, and heads were nodded sagely on the sofa. But Martin
thinks it has and makes Sally question again what she's doing letting Kevin back
into her heart via the front room.
Dirk Gently would have known what to do about it but Karen and Steve haven't
a clue. The expensive new sofa that Karen wanted so badly is firmly and
definitely stuck on their stairs. It won't budge up and it takes some budging
down but Steve manages to get it out of the flat and into storage in Eileen's
back yard. He calls Elevation to get them to take it back but in the meantime
there's some swift sofa swapping as Eileen eyes up the new one and compares it
to her old one. Elevation won't be so elated when they find out they've taken
back an old settee from the Street. A new sofa and her son back, Eileen couldn't
be happier. Oh yes, Jason has returned from his travels and sets up camp at his
mothers - the way lads always do. And while she's not best pleased to have him
back unannounced, Eileen's happy at his return - the way mams always are.
There's snogs aplenty at the Platts as our two star-crossed lovers Nick and
Maria fall deeply and utterly in teenage lust. Exchanging spit and "I love
you's" the pair cry their eyes out as Nick flies back to Canada but not before
asking Maria to start a new life there with him. Selling off her clothes to
raise money for the airfare, Maria seems to have forgotten Nick's promise to
call her as soon as he landed in Vancouver. Wake up and smell the maple syrup,
Maria.
Meanwhile Les is on a promise from the two Aussie travellers. With no money
to pay their rent, they offer him a Sydney sandwich and send him down the pub
while they prepare it with relish. Egged on by other blokes who should know
better (but they never seem to, do they?), Les thinks he's in for an orgy down
under in the bush with the two antipodean lovelies and when he returns to his
house he's all of a quiver. "Thinks Lis, you've bin a dull" says one of them as
they leave Les with exactly what they promised. A Sydney sandwich - complete
with wombat relish and steak. A disappointed Les tries to be a sport and ties
his kangaroo down.
As the Commonwealth Games drew to a close this week, Norris finally had his
moment of glory. As the medal-giver goes off sick, Norris stands tall and proud
and offers himself to the cause. "May the spirit of the games be with you" says
a chap in a hat and on Norris goes. In front of the world's media, broadcast to
the globe, Norris has his moment of glory screened live for all to see. But -
zut alors! Although Emily has set the video to tape, it cuts out just before
Norris comes on the screen. And so, broadcast live in the Rovers, he beams away
as proud as can be - with no-one looking on to discover he did anything more
than rip up tickets and look silly in his corporate tracksuit and hat.
And finally, at the Rovers this week Geena walked out (but she's back soon
before she goes permanently). Will we miss her? I don't think so. She's got
lovely (amazing) hair but she's a bit dim, a bit dumb and a bit more moody than
we like our Corrie barmaids to be. Shelley can stay as far as I'm concerned, but
Fred might think otherwise as Shelley messes up the staff rota, hence Geena
walking out (and leaving soon). It's the Rovers 100th birthday later this year
and the bar staff start thinking up celebrations for the centenary.
And that's just about that for this week.
Glenda
