I've said it before and I'll say it again, things are slowing down on the cobbles. Which is all well and good when you've got wonderful scenes with Norris and Rita or lingering camera shots on the loving Watts family but dragging things on between Vik and Hazel is no fun at all. It's so boring and pointless. Hazel tells Vik she doesn't want anything more to do with him, he doodles her name on a notepad, she gets her husband and brother to put the frighteners on him by threatening to give him a kicking in the breakers yard. Dev tells Vik he shouldn't have bothered with a married woman in the first place and zdasioutq3892 34hdsasdjasdma,.5taiosuda ooh sorry, must have fallen asleep at the keyboard.

This week Martin Platt has been a pig-headed runt (in case you thought he could ever be anything else). Clearly wanting to play house with a wifey, any wifey, he chucks a mental with Sally when she says she's not ready for him to move in. Rita can understand what Sally's feeling (probably most of the female audience can understand too) but Martin? Oh no, he strops around and tells Sally he doesn't love her any more. There's a good scene between Gail and Sally when they argue over who knows Martin best but then make up later in the Rovers, and rightly so.
Over at the factory Fiz has been showing her knickers to the girls. They're bustiers or something she's knocked up out of an empty cornflake packet and some peices of string and she reckons Baldwin should be selling them instead of the frillies he's flogging now. When Mike has a visit from some buyers, Fiz wants to get her undies on show but Mike warns her she's likely to get sacked. There was a poignant line on lost opportunity from Karen in the Rovers: "In a different world, she would have been at fashion college"

It looks like the creche in the surgery is set to close so Curly tries to get the residents involved to petition the council to save it. While everyone thinks it a good idea, no one wants to get involved until Sarah Lou (the only one using the creche, it seems) takes on the petition. Blanche belches forth with her views on single mothers then has to eat every word when given baby Ben to babysit while Curly sorts out her bus pass at the council for her. Worn out after a day of worrying about baby, Blanche unfolds into the Kabin: "Oooh, give us a packet of bon-bons, I'm at the end of me tether".
Oh and this week Charli finds out she is pregnant. Look, I'm sorry, I don't care. I'll just be glad when she and the too-tall doctor leave, I really will.

And that's just about that for this week.
