This week saw the last of Grandad Keith and goth grandson Craig as the two of them packed up and left. But it wasn't straightforward - is it ever when someone leaves the cobbles? Keith had an angina attack when Craig locked himself in the house and refused to leave without saying goodbye to Rosie, who's in France you'll remember, on a school trip. Sally's the only one who can talk some sense into Craig when Keith smashes down the front door to get into the house. As chaos reigned with Craig and Keith, the removal men were on standby in a bad mood. Keith once kept two pigs in the garden at number six but there are two worse creatures that will live there now as the forces of evil (Charlie and Tracy) hovered with boxes waiting to move in. Keith and Craig finally left after a kiss from Audrey, sage words from Sally, a promise to keep in touch from Jack and a text message from David. Corrie characters usually leave the street in a taxi or on th'bus but Keith and Craig drove off down to Bournemouth in their own car with Richard Fleeshman taking a last glance over his shoulder at the street that has carved out his future.
Bev and Liz try to fix Shelley and Steve up on a date and they spy on the two of them from behind their newspaper in the Rovers as their off-spring chat at the bar. The barmaid and the cabbie decide to go on a date after all, purely as mates, to the pizza place in the precinct. Evil Charlie Stubbs overhears their plans in the Rovers and books a table at the same restaurant for him and Tracy. At the restaurant, Tracy gets a call to say Amy's been rushed to th'ospickle with suspected meningitis so she and Steve rush out leaving Shelley and Charlie alone where she once again falls for the bully-boy builder as he turned on the charm and told her he loved her. Pass the sick-bag now, it really was that bad. "You bullied me, you bruised me, you drove me to the very brink of my sanity" Shelley reminds him. He also made her wear nasty jim-jams, confined her to her bedroom for months on end, made her go through painful and unnecessary surgery, bedded her mum, oh the list goes on. But how quickly she forgets it all and snogs him by the pumps in the bar when they end up back at the Rovers together. Then she serves herself up like a reheated hot-pot for Charlie's delight after hours in the bar. After they've done, you know, it, he tells her how much he hates her, despises her, walks out and leaves her for a pizza and then goes home to bed Tracy.
Sarah and Jason get their mums together to be nice to each other as they've decided to get married sooner rather than later. Eileen's been down to that London place for a visit. "Seen the Queen?" asks Gail when she knows she went to visit son Todd.
Diggory's pizza business is now up and running - Name Your Type, We'll Bring It By Bike - but it turns into a complete failure when the only order they get is from a rival pizza firm ordering 10 meat feasts for delivery to the local - and closed - slimming club. "We might as well flog a dead horse" moans Diggory although somehow I can't see that sort of pizza catching on.
And Sean starts calling all 164 people in Sheffield called Paul Jones who could, or could not be, his real dad. He ropes in Adam and Joanne to help him ring round the Paul's of the parish and Blanche sums it up best when she hears what he's doing: "Yer daft in the 'ead!". When Eileen finds out what Sean's up to she tells him not to feel so sorry for himself, and says she thinks of him as her third son. Ah, bless.
And that's just about that for this week.
