Roy starts the week feeling sorry for himself after his run-in with Vince
when Charlie came to his rescue. Convinced his customers are laughing at
him behind his back in front of the caff, he stays upstairs and mopes in his
terry-towel dressing gown and jim-jams. Hayleys has words but although
she means well he doesn't take much heed until Fiz tells Roy he's determined
and steely, should crack open a barm cake and refuse to let Vince ruin his
life.
Bethany starts school and there's much weeping at the Platts as Sarah,
Gail and Audrey get emotional when they see her in her new uniform.
The significance of all this is totally, like, lost on Candice, right, who
reckons Adam's return from Scotland has more to do with fancying Sarah than
being with the Barlows, innit. Adam tells Sarah it's because he wants
to be with his family but the two of them start to go out a lot together.
So, maybe, Candice was like, right, yeah but? Mike's happy to have Adam
back and appreciates his "little bit of wahey, little bit of whoo" attitude
in his son while Ken worries about Adam's lack of a decent education.
Fred overhears Ashley and Claire kidding in the kitchen while he's stood
by the door. They're talking about him proposing to half the women
in the street and most of the ones from Rosamund Street too and think it's
all a big joke. Fred's deeply hurt so takes himself off tot he one place
he'll find solace - the bar of the Rovers where he orders a big one and asks
if Audrey's been in. Clearly the strain of living with the newly-weds
is starting to show, I say, it's causing problems already for t' burly Butcher.
Anyway, back to Sally and her boss in the car salesroom where last week
Ian had told Sally he loved her. Well, what's a girl to do? She has
to put beans on the table somehow and if refusing Ian's passion means she
loses her job, there's only one thing for it. So it's full frontal snogging
after hours in the back room with her boss while lying through her teeth
to Kevin and the girls. She justifies it to herself that she's doing
it for the family and the girls. At some point Ian sacks her
and tells her to leave. He gives her a month's wages and a bonus and holds
open the door for her to walk out. Sally closes the door, snogs her
boss and keeps the cheque so I'm not entirely sure if she's still employed
or not. Anyway, with the bonus she books a holiday in Crete for the
Websters this summer. Which seems a bit pointless as according to Rosie the
goth, the world is due to end on March 17th.
Fed up with fighting off Tracy, Steve decides to show her just what he
thinks of her. He picks her up at 7, takes her out for a meal at 8
and by 9 she's in tears when he tells her they'll never end up together and
she should forget all about him. "There!" he says as he flings a red
rose across the table towards her. "A token of my indifference!".
It seems to have worked but when Liz finds out what he's done she tells him
it's awful and typical of something that Karen would have done. Steve
feels bad, waltzes down the street and ends up apologising to Tracy, who is,
after all, and let's not forget it because it's mentioned every time she's
on screen and sometimes when she's not, she is the mother of his child.
And no one messes with mothers in Corrie. No one.
She's flushed her pills down the loo and set out to get pregnant but when
it happens Katy looks Martin straight in the eye and says: "It in't my fault!".
She was going to text him when she found out the news but decided against
it which was probably a good thing. (how r u? i am pregnant.
pls can u bring sum bred from t'shop on way home, kt x). Martin's, well
I was going to say not best pleased but that's way too mild. "It's a
disaster! A total and utter disaster! How can this possibly be
alright?" he yells at Katy. When he calms down they talk. Katy
wants a bigger house and plans to drop out of her studies while Martin wants
her to have an abortion. Just wait until Tommy finds out.
Shelley's going to the gym and dieting to get to be the shape that Charlie
wants her to be. When he catches her with egg on her face eating chips
in the back room with Sunita, he's not happy at all and lets her know it.
Charlie's working on fixing up Dev's corner shop and diddles the insurance
a little for his own gain. Most small businesses do it, he says but
Shelley's shocked, they argue and off he goes to the pub. When he returns
he tells Shelley it's no surprise that Peter left her. I think that's
when I threw something at the telly and shouted a swear word.
Or maybe I'm getting confused with the time I watched Countdown.
And that's just about that for this week.
