Coronation Street Weekly Updates for the internet since 1995.
After the op, Blanche has to rest her hip although her lip's still working ten to the dozen at anyone who can't get away quick enough. Deirdre gets her a motorised buggy to gad about ithe street in but it's second hand and full of faults, not least that it won't make a left turn. When Chesney finds it in the back lane with the keys in, he takes Sophie for a spin along the ginnel. When Cilla finds out, she takes it herself for a spot of shopflifting in town with Yana, the tart with a heart and a permanent ladder in her tights. With the stolen booty in the basket, Cilla revs up to all of three miles an hour and scoots out of the shop door with the store detective running after her. Blanche's motor scoots Cilla half the way home before it double de-clutches and brakes, throwing Cilla head first into the canal.
Betty's new kitten is a bit of a monkey (a catorang-utang?) so Sean moves it into the menagerie at Eileen's where it makes Jason sneeze and wheeze. Kirk comes up trumps and delivers Buster the dog to Sean so he can impress Tim the Tall Vet on their first date. Buster is an Old English Sheepdog (and long-term weekly update readers will remember I used to have two of these dogs, indeed one of them even wrote a weekly update and if you're bored enough to peek it's dated April 14, 1998 and archived at http://www.corrie.net/updates/weekly/1998/9804.html). Anyway, Sean wants Tim to think that Buster's his own dog, BellaSinead, and things are going smoothly on the Red Rec as they walk, talk and gaze at the Salford smog. Sean lets Buster off his lead and the dog runs away, with Sean yelling after it. Tim's confused. Is it Buster or Bella? It is Sean's dog or what? Sean's disappointed. Will Tim still like him when he finds out he's not a dog owner and just a complete and utter fibber? The dog runs home to its owners who've just returned from holiday, refuse to pay Kirk as he hasn't shown due care in looking after it while it was in the kennels and take it to the, you've guessed it, vet for a check-up. Anyway, Sean reckons he's seen the last of Tim so it's a nice surprise when he turns up in the Rovers. Sean tries to explain but ends up testiculating - waving his hands around while talking b*ll*cks - and Tim walks out of the Rovers and out of Sean's life, for now.
Ciaran said his goodbyes this week, fed up with Charlie-boy in the Rovers and with life in general on the Street. Most people leave the Street in a taxi or on wheels but not Ciaran, no. After Sunita wished him well beside the Tunnocks tea-cakes in't shop, after he threatened to beat up Charlie in the Rovers and after defending his honour against a drunken Bev in her flat who'd pinned him to the sofa and slurred red wine words (how much excitement can a person take in one episode?) he slung his ruck-sack over his shoulder and simply sauntered away.
Kirk and Maria's parents leave Weatherfield and head for all the excitement that a donkey farm in Cyprus can bring. Maria's not best pleased that the kennels are left to Kirk after she says she'd rather have her share in cash instead. Fiz moves in with Kirk at the kennels but when she ends up stinking of Chum and cooked tripe, she isn't quite sure she's made the right choice.
Tracy sees a solicitor to find out if she can stop Steve getting custody of Amy. The solicitor says that if DNA proves Steve's the father, then there's little chance she can legally keep him away. Tracy knows she can't win so gets devious instead. She tells Steve he can look after Amy any time he likes. Why not tomorrow? she says. Why not take her to the airport to see the aeroplanes?, she says. Steve's delighted and takes the bag of clothes and baby what-nots that Tracy gives him for the day out with Amy. So while Steve's at the airport playing aeroplanes with his daughter, Tracy rings the police and tells them Amy's been kidnapped. Steve's arrested and it's his word against Tracy's - which doesn't look good when Amy's passport turns up in the bag of clothes Tracy gave him.
Mike and Penny return from holiday to find Adam and Danny at each other's throats in the factory. There was bad news for Danny this week when his father dies. Or at least, he's been told it's his father, and that's all I'm going to say for now. Tune in next week for more with the wonderful John Dean.
And that's just about that for this week.
