It’s a grief-stricken Connor clan that tries to get
on with their lives on the Street but it proves too hard. Liam returns to
the factory but walks out in a state and leaves the cobbles in a cab with
his passport and bag. He shoves the keys to the factory through Roy’s café
door with a note for Hayley to take over as best as she can. She does try,
bless her, but the girls run circles round her and take time off for, er,
dental appointments, biscuit breaks, and a cleavage with Kelly behind it
takes a three hour trip to the loo. Joanne turns up in the factory this week
after her asylum seeking appeal had been overturned on human rights and she’s
allowed back to work in a Weatherfield back street sweatshop where the owners
covered up the death of a woman after working her too hard t’other week.
There’s irony in there somewhere.
Michelle and Ryan head back to her mum in Ireland after Ryan gets himself into a state bad enough to start listening to Joy Division CDs. Yes, things were that bad. There’s an emotional farewell between Steve and Michelle where he’s being selfish and thinks Michelle is breaking up with him when she’s breaking up inside. “You’ll be back, though, won’t you?” he pines at Michelle with tears in his eyes. “I’ll be back” she replies. You betcha she will.
Blanche is all done up in her new frock and jacket for her wake in the Rovers. She’s excited and looking forward to it but seems to be the only one who is. Ken and Deirdre think it’s a daft idea and those gathered in the Rovers to wish the not-dearly-departed a send off seem to agree. So, who was in attendance at Blanche’s wake? Well, there was Ken, Deirdre, Norris, Emily, Jack, Wilf and Doreen. Betty and Rita were missing as were Blanche’s mates from the one o’clock club but at least Eccles showed some respect and turned up with a black ribbon round his neck. As the drinks went down, the talk turned to Blanche and it wasn’t good, oh no. Norris started it by saying Blanche wouldn’t be missed when she died and there’d be a street party, never mind a wake. Even Emily (Emily!) nodded her head sagely and castigated Blanche for her wicked ways. A shocked Blanche decided it’s time to mend her ways and she starts being nice to everyone she meets until that is, she meets Amber in the shop. Headphones in ears, fingers texting, thoughts whatever-ing, Amber winds Blanche up something rotten just because she’s young and doesn’t care. And that’s it, as Blanche fingers a box of Tunnocks teacakes she reverts back to type and tells Deirdre that people can either take her as she is or not at all. Well said, Blanche, well said.
Down at Weatherfield nick, Casey turns herself in after her picture’s flashed on the news and in the Gazette. She tells the cops she’s innocent and that she didn’t set the Peacock household ablaze but Claire thinks there’s more to her story than that. She gets Steve McDonald to tell her when Casey lives, as he’d driven her home once in his cab, and Claire knocks on every single door in some flea-bitten council high-rise until she finds Casey behind one of the doors. Casey once again denies all and manages to convince Ashley that his missus is mad. It’s only when the Peacocks leave, deflated, that Casey allow herself a sly smile to the camera and we all know that she did it and she’s as guilty as they come. Ooh, I love it when they do that.
Janice gets to roger the plumber. Oh sorry, that should have read Janice gets to meet Roger the plumber. He’s back on the scene after returning from France with a bottle of French red for some ooh la la on the sofa in Janice’s flat. It’s lovely to see Janice with a smile on her cheeky little face again.
Leanne’s £6k short of funds for the purchase of the pizza place and takes out a loan from Weatherfield Global Loan Sharks with a whopping APR of 35%. Carla tells Leanne she’d rather go into business with the devil than go into partnership with her now, leaving Leanne in a dilemma. She still needs to raise £10k and heads back to London to go back on the game. Janice races to the coach station to find Leanne in tears and there’s hugs all round as Leanne admits she can’t go back to work as an escort girl, no spaghetti carbonara is ever worth that much. But just how will Leanne raise the money needed? Did I mention Roger the plumber was back from France this week? I wonder…
Bill leaves David alone to tidy up the yard while he and Jason go out on a job. David does a decent job of tidying up but then starts sawing up lengths of good wood and putting it all in a skip, costing Bill hundreds of quid. David’s sacked, again, from the builder’s yard and this time Bill tells Audrey and Gail that he’s not taking the little pipsqueak back. Audrey has a word with me-laddo-young-David and tells him to look sharp and report for hairdressing duty in the salon. Or else.
And that’s just about that for this week.
