Fiz’s scooter gets smashed to pieces on the cobbles, with the words minger
and tart scratched into the paint. She assumes wrongly that it’s Kirkeh
who’s done this (as if!) and accuses him on the Street of being jealous
of her new fella, John (Mr Stape to his mates, Sir to his pupils). Kirk’s
hurt and depressed, he never knew about John, and tells Fiz: “I love you
so much it hurts me heart”. Fiz finds the real culprit in Sophie Webster
as Sophie’s got a crush on Mr Stape, her teacher at school. Sally’s horrified
that one of her girls should have done such a thing and Kev stops his daughter’s
pocket money, tut-tut.
Norris calls Sarah and Jason “a proper little Burton and Taylor” when
he finds out that Jason has moved in at Gail’s house. Gail’s got him there
to keep an eye on David who starts work as yard monkey at Bill the builders.
Bill and Jason wind David up by asking the new boy to buy elbow grease
and a glass hammer (what? no tartan paint or a long stand?) but David gets
his revenge. Aware that Jason is afraid of heights (me too!), he takes
the ladder away when Jason’s up on Jerry Morton’s roof fixing his slates.
After giving David an earful, Bill sacks him on the spot. David continues
to wind Jason up and tells him he’s gay. Jason believes him for a long
time and starts to look uncomfy when David comments on Gail’s hair and the
way Jason suits his manly builder’s shirts. He’s brilliant, is David, and
comes clean to Jason later that he was only having a laugh, although Jason
didn’t find it very funny.
Claire’s becoming increasingly paranoid and thinks she spies Casey on
the cobbles. She runs off and leaves little Josh all alone so that he almost
gets knocked over by a cab on the Street. Ashley’s demented and doesn’t
know how to cope but sadly, Claire’s got a right to be so paranoid. Casey
really is out and about on the street and looking for trouble. When Ashley’s
car gets serviced at Kev’s garage, Tyrone finds a disposable camera under
the seat. It’s the camera that Josh took a photo of Claire and Casey with
a few weeks ago when they were all in the park. An overjoyed Claire, with
proof that Casey exists, takes the photo to the police and it’s featured
on the news as someone the police want to interview with regard to the arson.
Jerry calls in on Eileen in the cab office with a free kebab and a bottle
of wine, clearly knowing the way to Ma Grimshaw’s heart. But she’s flirting
on the switch with some bloke called Pat who turns up later with a strange
accent and a limp red rose. Jerry calls in at the same time as Pat with
a bouquet of flowers for Eileen, but realises he’s come too late and pretends
the flowers are for someone else, clearly upset. Pat asks Eileen out on
a date and Steve and Lloyd send her home early from the switch with a bottle
of cheap bubble bath smelling of coconut oil and aloe vera, or was it hello
vera, which is a different sort of smell all together. Even Sean’s drafted
in to help Eileen choose what to wear and persuades her to get into her
(rather optimistically named) little black dress with a schjuzzy handbag
to match. Pat’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer but Eileen finds him
charming and they have a pizza together. He doesn’t even seem put off when
Eileen gets spaghetti stuck on her frock.
Chesney’s doing his school project on the eco-friendliness of Roy’s Rolls
cafe. “Did you flush?” he asks Norris when he comes out of the loo, before
berating Roy for not having long-life lightbulbs.
Rita has one of those days that only a custard slice can put right and
I think we all know the sort of day that she means. At the BBQ in the Mortons
back garden later that week when Blanche and Betty leave early ‘cos of
loud music and bad food, Rita stays on and helps herself to more punch.
Atta girl, Rita, you just gotta love her.
Grandad Wilf Morton puts his own obituary in the Weatherfield Gazette.
He’s hoping that if everyone thinks he’s dead then it’ll help granddaughter
Mel to become a lady policeman if she doesn’t have his criminal past holding
her up. When Blanche finds out that Wilf’s not really dead, it sets her
off thinking about her own funeral and how much she’d hate to miss out on
the fun. So she books the Rovers for all her mates and tells Ken and Deirdre
she wants a eulogy and sausage rolls in the Rovers next week for her wake
before she falls finally asleep.
And finally this week, the Connors returned from Paul’s funeral in Ireland
and Carla’s not ready to head home to her horrible flat with the nasty
wallpaper so stays on with Michelle for a while. Steve wants Michelle to
himself but she tells him she needs some time with her family while Liam
and Carla do their best to snub Leanne.
And that’s just about that for this week.
