The big story this week has been
Tracy killing Charlie so I’ll jump right in and get this one done first.
Charlie apologises to Peter for beating him up in the bathroom last week.
Peter’s face is up like a pudding and he’s black, blue and purple so words
of apology don’t really work. Up in court for assault, Charlie gets 200 hours
of community service and tells Tracy he wants her out of the house. But Tracy’s
got other ideas, she doesn’t want to leave ‘cos she’s got nowhere to go. Claire
comes in to give Tracy support but they end up having a cross-purpose chat.
“You’ve got to do it!” she urges Tracy, meaning she’s to leave him. “I will,
I’ll do it tonight!” Tracy replies, with a mad glint in her eye, meaning
that she’ll kill him. Luring Charlie-boy with a lap dance in the living room,
Tracy lulls him into a lustful sense of security sitting on the sofa. As
she writhes around and he slurps his beer, she picks up a statue from the
sideboard and knocks seven bells out of him. He slumps to the floor, covered
in blood and she sticks a knife, stained with her own blood, into his left
hand to make it look as if he was attacking her and she’s killed him in self-defence.
But was Charlie Stubbs left-handed? The cops arrive and Tracy’s taken in
for questioning. The cops quiz Tracy and she lies through her teeth. She’s
set free on bail on condition that she doesn’t go back into number six, she
doesn’t talk to any witnesses and she doesn’t see Charlie. Ah, Charlie. He’s
not dead after all, there was a flicker of life in his eyes as the paramedics
were carting him off to th’ospital and Tracy’s beside herself needing to
know if he’s going to die or if he’ll live to shop her in to the cops. Breaking
the rules of her bail, she gets into the hospital ward where Charlie lies
strapped to a life support machine and hisses in his face that she wishes
he were dead. Jason’s the only one to spend time by Charlie’s side, unconvinced
that his boss would have tried to kill Tracy. Norris is loving it all, of
course, and reckons it’s better than an episode of CSI. Even Blanche got
out of her bath to see what the commotion was all about. Back at th’ospital,
Charlie dies with Jason and Maria in tears by his side. When the news reaches
Tracy, she doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry so she does both and hopes
nobody notices the first bit. Steve offers her a shoulder to cry on and takes
Amy out of the way of the Barlow’s. The cops quiz Claire who’s kept a catalogue
of Charlie / Tracy events in her diary, as dictated by Tracy of course. They
even quiz Gail who also tells them that Charlie was a bully, but still, these
coppers, eh? They won’t let it lie and when the forensic report gets
back to the cops, they take Tracy in for more questions then lock her up
in the cell and charge her with Charlie-cide. Oh ‘eck.
Elsewhere on the Street this week, Carla (Xena Princess Warrior) made
herself even more unpopular at the factory when she bought and moved a
desk into the Underworld office. She wants to set up her own brand of kids
clothes but Liam (Captain Scarlet) is against it and husband Paul (James
Bolam) daren’t say no. She needs a backer, someone with the cash to put
into her brand of kids clothes so when she finds out from Steve that Michelle’s
new fella Sonny isn’t short of a bob or two, she’s straight round there
which scuppers Michelle and Sonny’s supper when she barges into the flat
to chat up the rich guy.
Romance wasn’t running smoothly for a few people on the cobbles this
week. First off, Steve’s plan to woo Michelle took a huge knock when Sonny
turned up with tickets for a Manchester City game for Michelle and Ryan.
Somehow I don’t think Steve offering Ryan free taxi rides to school will
quite top that.
And Becky also had the bloke blues this week. She met a new fella at
work in Roy’s café and she thinks he’s ok so they make a date for
the Rovers. Hayley’s all of a flutter over Becky’s new fella and giggles
like a child when Becky gets a text message. But after a first date
and an overnight stop out, Kelly tells the fella about Becky’s past, that
she’s been inside and is an ex-con. That soon puts him off and wipes the
smile off Becky’s face when he dumps her. Shame really, as Becky is growing
on me as a character but I can well understand Kelly wanting revenge for
Becky stitching her up over the factory theft a few months ago.
Fiz notices that Chesney’s not being looked after properly since Cilla
left them to swan off on hollider to Florida. He’s wearing dirty clothes,
hasn’t been fed and isn’t doing his paper round so Fiz and Kirk have a strong
word with Les who says he’s doing his best while Cilla’s away, but all
he seems to be doing is drinking. Roy has a quiet word with Ches in the
café, man to lad and Fiz does his washing for him. Ah, bless.
And finally this week, Bill Webster returned, and all is right with
the world.
And that’s just about that for this week.
