It’s time for Shelley’s hen night and the girls are out in force at a
pub disco in The Weatherfield Arms. There’s Bev, Tracy, Maria, Eileen,
Sunita, Angela and Hayley - who’s in bits as she’s had some bad news. Her
Aunty Marge (of Aunty Marge and Uncle Bert) has had a stroke and is in a
bad way. Back at the Rovers, Sally tells Roy that Hayley’s more upset than
he seemed to think she was so off Roy goes to the hen night to comfort his
wife. Meanwhile at the disco there’s a couple of likely lads
who want a bit of how’s your father but they’re not very cool, even for
cats. (Sorry, couldn’t help but Squeeze that one in). One of the lads has
a couple of tabs of rophynol which he plans to drop into Shelley’s drink
and then rape her while she’s unconscious. Granada is clearly scraping
the barrel here and I’m having trouble with this storyline and where it
will lead to in my favourite soap. Anyway, Tracey spots the guy drugging
Shelley’s drink but when she protests she ends up with all the girls thinking
that she’s jealous that Shelley was getting chatted up and not her. A bit
of a fight starts, the bouncers are called and then Ciaran walks in just
in time to get a few punches thrown around his Irish eyes when he’d only
popped by to see Sunita. Anyway, Tracey ends up with the rophynol
in her bag where in a later episode – and I can’t believe I’m going to say
this - she’ll use it on Roy Cropper to win a one penny bet against Bev that
she can get any man she likes into bed - and then ends up pregnant with
his baby. So there you have it, make of that what you will.
Date-rape as a storyline? Please, let’s leave that to Eastenders, The Bill,
Holby City, News at 10.
So anyway, Ciaran’s been beaten up and Sunita takes him to hospital where
he spots a huge stomach underneath a familiar face checking into the maternity
ward. Ciaran’s straight on the phone to tell Peter that Lucy has
just checked into the hatchery and Peter’s straight round there insisting
to see his wife. When the nurse tells him that Lucy doesn’t want to
see him, you just know he’ll be there with hot water, towels and forceps
helping her to deliver. Clearly her hormones are all over the place and
are causing her to say one thing and do the complete other. And when
he returns the next day with presents and flowers and the nurse tells him
again that Lucy doesn’t want to see him, he’s in there promising undying,
lying, love and tells her he left Shelley ages ago.
Curly and Emma agree to disagree and move to Newcastle together. Well,
when I say agree to disagree what I really mean is that Curly agrees to
compromise the truth, honesty and integrity that he’s always believed in
to go and live with his lying, cheating policewoman of a wife because it’s
better than being on his own. “Welcome to the real world, Norman” she says.
Poor Curly. The For Sale sign goes up outside of their house and Curly visits
Les in jail to tell him they’re moving.
Candice has a date with pizza boy Liam and meets him in the Rovers where
she introduces him to Archie at the bar. “Six foot one, I’m not mistaken
am I?” says Archie to the pizza boy. “Ham, cheese and pineapple, I’m
not mistaken either?” he replies. “I don’t know” says Archie. “I’ve never
eaten pizza” to which pizza boy replies: “And I’ve never been dead!”.
Excellent stuff. Meanwhile, maneater Maria sets her sights on pizza
boy’s 12” sausage supreme with extra cheese and Candice is not best pleased,
as you’d expect.
Steve finds Karen this week, she’s holed up with her mate, a woman called
Eva Briggs who has a hard face and a council flat. He begs her to come
home and tells her he loves her and forgives her but she bursts into tears,
hugs the wall then her mate and tells Steve to leave. Some blokes have
no idea. If he’d said he loved her, forgiven her and gave her carte blanche
with a visa gold card, now that would have swung it with Karen.
Rosie has an audition at school for a lead part in My Fair Lady and practises
her singing by murdering a range of Atomic Kitten songs. That’ll
be why she gets offered a role backstage. “Backstage?” bellows Sally. “No
daughter of mine is working backstage, I’ll see about this!”. Norris, however,
makes no secret of the fact that he thinks backstage is all that an Atomic
Kittenette deserves.
And Sunita continues to playfully string along both Dev and Ciaran in
the most endearing way.
And that’s just about all for this week.
