Mad Amy from Birmingham spins her web of lies, trying to turn
everyone against Dev as she continues with the tears behind the
bar in the Rovers. She tells Dev she can't get proof of her pregnancy
as the hospital scan wasn't working properly, and lays on the
sob story to anyone who'll listen that Dev has told her to have
an abortion. It's only Nita who realises what Amy is up to and
she soon has a word with the mad one in the Rovers, telling her
she knows what she's up to missy, and don't you forget it. It
gets too much for mad Amy to bear so she storms out of the pub
in mid-flow of pulling a pint for Les who says sympathetically:
"Women, eh? Can't live with 'em. Can't shoot 'em". Amy
gets into her car and drives off into the night as Dev tries to
ask her what's going on, before remembering he doesn't really
care anyway.
Duggie has been let down by the builders for his Victoria Street
project and needs a quality replacement, a building firm of integrity
and professionalism, offering value for money - so why on earth
he decides to take on Steve McDonald and Pat the builder, I really
can't say. Pat demands on a 50-50 deal with Steve, who agrees,
and the pair of them are quite chuffed they've got themselves
some work.
Leanne goes back to see her counsellor and talks out her problems
with him, realising it's her sad and lonely existence in a back
street boozer that led her to became a junkie during the course
of the last four weeks. And that's about it for that storyline
really apart from a nice little scene in the Rovers when Les comes
in to see his daughter, holds her hand and tells her she had him
scared.
Rebecca and Martin continue their game of doctors and nurses
at the hospital, arranging a day to Liverpool together on a 'training
course' (nudge nudge, wink wink). Rebecca's husband, Jerry, turns
up at the hospital and finds the two lovebirds enjoying a a quick
break together and has a few words to say to them both. Rebecca
argues with him and he walks away with a smirk on his face, knowing
full well what he's going to do next. He drives straight to Gail's
house and tells her what her husband has been up to with his wife.
Gail listens to him with her hands on her hips, doesn't believe
him and soon sends him packing. When Martin comes in from work
later that evening, she tells him Jerry has been round with his
accusations. Martin acts all innocent and Gail gives him a kiss
saying Jerry's lies won't get them down: "As long as we love
each other, he can't touch us". Wake up and smell the hospital
canteen coffee, Gail.
It's the night before Kev and Alison's wedding and she's out
on her hen-night with the factory girls in the Rovers. Kevin takes
himself round to see Sally and you know it's going to end in tears
when Sally gets the red wine out and the pair of them sit down
and chat about old times. Anyway, the conversation becomes a little
heated and the pair of them start arguing over who did what to
whom way back then and why it all happened and how it all ended
and then Kevin goes and says it: "The hardest thing I ever
had to do was get used to not being married to you". (You
should've thought about that then Kev, when you were giving Natalie
one). So, mellowed by the wine, and with Kevin laying his cards
on the table like that, the pair of them are upstairs and at it
before you can say.. er... um.... well, something quite short
anyway. The pair of them come downstairs and back into the dining
room with clothes awry and hair tousled before Kevin leaves. As
he walks out of Sally's arms and away from her house, he bumps
into Alison and takes her hand to walk her back to their flat.
Despite it all, the first Corrie wedding of the century goes ahead
at the registry office, with the bride radiant and the groom doubtful.
Linda does Alison's make-up, so it's not what you'd call subtle
and Rosie and Sophie make lovely little bridesmaids. Kevin and
the new Mrs. Webster go off on honeymoon to the Lakes, while the
old Mrs. Webster moans to Gail in the cafe about her 'moment of
madness' and Gail advises her to forget it.
And finally, Mike and Linda (sporting a wonderful zebra print
jacket with matching handbag) pop into the Rovers for a drink
before going out for dinner. In the pub, they bump into Mark and
his girlfriend Claire and Mike invites them along to dinner too
although it's obvious that neither Linda nor Mark want to spend
the evening in each other's company. In the restaurant, Mark excuses
himself and goes to the toilet - closely followed by Linda who
swans in there after him. "You can't come in here" he
says, pointing out there's a picture of a man on the door, to
which Linda replies: "As far as I'm concerned, that's only
a recommendation". Oooh.. what a brilliant tart she makes,
great stuff. She plants a passionate kiss on a startled Mark and
waltzes out of the toilet, back to the table and tells Mike she's
not feeling very well and wants to go home.
And that's just about that for this week.
