New father Peter has too much on his mind. He forgets his appointment
with Shelley and the vicar, is late for the rehearsal at the church and
even though Shelley’s getting irritated with him, she clearly still loves
him. Bev, on the other hand, has her suspicions about me-laddo and
after giving a free whisky to a drunken Ciaran in the Rovers, (“Here, have
this - it’s Irish” she tells him. “Noy terr’s a coincidensh” he replies),
she gets a drunken confession that Peter has indeed got himself another woman.
Realising what he’s admitted to, Ciaran tells Bev that Peter’s affair with
this woman was months ago (nine months ago). He tells her Peter only
loves Shelley – and all this happens moments after Peter tells Ciaran he
wants to be with Lucy (his wife) and Simon (his son) more than he wants
to be with Shelley (his fianc*e). Ah, such is the stuff of soap. Anyway,
new mother Lucy is still as simpering as ever. To Peter at her bedside at
the hospital: “I’ve only let you in to tell you I don’t want to see you any
more” and then when she’s been sent home, by the door of her flat:“I can’t
let you in, Peter, just go away” while simultaneously opening the door to
let Peter in. What is it with this woman? She’s just had a bairn and
Peter’s her only source of support? Where’s the health visitors, her mates
and her family? Peter shops, cooks, changes nappies and tries to act
the family man while preparing for wedding number two. Little does
he know that Bev’s cottoned onto him now.
After a long chat and some tears, Steve and Karen are back together and
he brings her home to the cobbles. After Janice and then Baldwin let
Karen know they’re not exactly pleased to see her back on the street, she
takes to hiding in the flat wondering if she’s done the right thing. Steve
tells her he wants the feisty, gobby Karen back and drags her off down the
Rovers to prove to everyone she’s got nothing to be ashamed of. Mind you,
if she’s stuck for company at the bar she can always try tuning into Weatherfield
FM with those ear-rings, standing due north-west by the dartboard for the
clearest reception. Steve’s over the moon to have his missus back and
tells her: “Let’s just me and you try to love each other properly” as Karen
takes her wedding ring from the back pocket of her jeans, untangles the
chewing gum and melted mint imperial from it and slips it back onto her
finger.
Tracy steps up her campaign to get Roy into bed and flirts with him in
the Rovers. He’s fair put off reading his highway code as Tracy introduces
a little mirror – signal - manoeuvre sequence of her own touching his arm,
his leg and confusing him greatly. Next day she pretends to lose an
earring on the cobbles and when Roy finds it for her she drags him into the
Rovers to buy a drink for her hero. Too polite, too na*ve and too
confused to understand what’s happening, Roy finds himself sat with Tracy
in the bar when Hayley comes in. Tracy makes it clear she’s flirting
with Roy – as he’s trying to do the Guardian crossword too! clearly this
is the mind of a depraved and dangerous woman - and the locals look
on and have a bit of a giggle. It’s too much for Hayley and she lunges at
Tracy with the ice bucket, shouting the words the whole nation yelled at
the same time: “Leave Roy alone!” . “I can have any man I want… .well, not
you, obviously” Tracey yells at Hayley before being thrown out of the pub
in a sad and desperate sort of state. So things are uncomfortable
for the Croppers at the moment and in the Rovers later when Tracy is there,
Hayley tells Roy: “Don’t look at her, she’s pouting!”. Not understanding
Hayley’s jealousy and passion, all Roy can do is tell his wife to keep check
of her emotions in future.
After last week’s disappointment that her daughter’s backstage in the
school play, Sally storms off to see Rosie’s teacher, Mrs. Crocker to give
her a piece of her clearly deranged mind. “My daughter will be a star
one day! A star! Do you hear me?” says Sally, quite manically I thought.
Another week, another update, another disco. This time it’s the
Weatherfield hospital bash and Katy’s there, now she’s working in the canteen
during the summer, with some young lad of a hospital porter that she’s started
snogging. Meanwhile in the Rovers Curly’s having a drink with Martin,
Kev and Tommy but Martin leaves to go to the disco when Tommy says that’s
where his Katy’s gone. Martin spies Katy and the porter snogging and
storms in to split them up, causing a bit of a scene. He tells Katy he was
just protecting her but it’s clear he wanted to snog her himself and so they
do. Word gets out that Martin caused a scene and when Todd tells Sarah,
she and Candice question Katy about it. Katy tells them that Martin was
simply protecting her. And after Curly tells the lads that Martin’s got
a girlfriend who works at the hospital, Tommy and Kev question Katy to ask
her if she’d seen her at the disco, and what was she like? Twos and
twos are going to be put together soon, methinks.
And that’s just about that for this week.
