It doesn't take long for Ciaran to get the ladies swooning on the Street.
Sunita's all a-flutter, Hayley has a moment and even Shelley's mum is not
immune to Ciaran's Irish smiling eyes. Dev knows that if he wants Sunita
he'll have to fight for her and so he pulls out all the stops, opens his
wallet and orders a bouquet of flowers to be delivered to her flat.
Faced with losing the woman he loves and this is the best he can do? Well,
then it serves him right that Ciaran intercepts the flowers, takes off the
card from Dev and hands the flowers to Sunita himself. Ciaran 1, Dev
0, Sunita confused.
The girls are revolting at the factory when Joe starts sacking them, starting
with Fiz and someone we haven't heard of who takes herself off the to the
ladies for a good cry. Well, she's got seven kids to support, a feckless
husband to feed and how's she going to manage now? Not that Joe cares, he's
enjoying himself and laps it up when Mike demotes Karen from supervisor to
machinist. Karen realises Joe only cares about himself, he's got no
feelings towards her or her mates at Underworld. And in the Rovers later
when Janice has a go at Karen, it's Steve who defends his missus - after
he thinks she's walked out of the pub but really she's stood behind him and
she hears every word. Karen then goes to Baldwin and spills everything,
all about Artrec, the burglary, everything. Not too surprisingly, Mike knows
already, he didn't work his way up from barra boy on the market to his flat
on the quays without learning a thing or two, oh no. He knows and even
though Karen repays Mike all the money they took from the Artrec account,
Mike still isn't best pleased. He lays down her options; either she
leaves Weatherfield at high noon or he'll call the police and she'll be looking
at three years inside the cast of Bad Girls. I should mention that by this
point Joe has already done a runner. Another cab, another gonner. And now
it's Karen's turn to do the same (but let's hope not for too long, she and
Steve McDonald were pure class together). As the cab wheels her away
from the cobbles and Rita's advice to look after herself, a tear-stained
Karen stares from the back of the taxi and the gossip at the factory is rife,
as you'd imagine.
Wearing disappointment around her shoulders like a cheap pashmina from
the market, Eileen still can't understand Todd's reasons for not going to
Oxford. I can't understand either, I was close by there last weekend
and a more pleasant place would be hard to find. Meanwhile, Todd gets
a job as a hospital porter along with a few hours working for Dev in the
shop. He's also now got a place to live when Peter Barlow lets him have the
flat above the bookies for him, Sarah and Beth to move into. How will
the Mother Grim take the news?
Insects inhabit Martin's flat and both him and Curly need to move out while
the place is fumigated. Martin tries (but not very hard) to get accommodation
at the nurse's home and then fails to ask Gail so oh, what joy, he
jumps at the chance to move in at the Harris' when Tommy offers him a sofa
to sleep on. "Help yourself to anything you fancy" says Tommy and Martin
obliges by snogging (she's young enough to be your daughter for Gawd's
sake) Katy on the sofa in the middle of the night. Is it just me or
is this really creepy? Curly's going to the Duckies to stay on their
sofa and Roy's worried that a cockroach (Roy to Hayley: "Let's call him Dave")
has started to make his home at the café now too.
And finally this week, a pizza delivery boy turned up in the café,
clearly not able to read his A-Z properly. Candice offers to show him the
way, as it were, and rides pillion on his motorbike next to his bag full
of hot and steamy pepperoni. "Is that skirt too short to ride
pillion?" pizza boy asks Candice to which she replied: "I don't think this
skirt is too short for anything, do you?". It's Suzie Birchall all
over again.
And that's jst about that for this week.
