Candice dumps the shampoo smoothy after his wife bursts into the salon
yelling: "Which one of you's the slut that's trying to seduce my 'usband?".
Audrey and Maria resist the temptation to say they told her so, even though
they did, and take Candice to the Rovers for a drink and an hurdresser's
hug. When Tim pops back to the salon to explain to Candice, she dribbles
Tropical Sunrise shampoo all over his head.
Shelly goes on her date with Charlie the builder, he wines and dines her
and then offers her his bed while he sleeps on the couch. Meanwhile
Bev makes on that she's met a fella of her own and says she's out on a date
wi'him so it teks a bit of explaining when Ken and Deirdre say they saw
her coming out of the cinema, alone.
Fred's distraught to hear Orchid upset when she gets a call at the Rovers
from a relative in Thailand calling to say her father's taken ill.
The phone call's a scam, it's Dennis sitting in his car outside the
pub telling Orchid it's time to up the stakes with Fred and get money out
of him. As Orchid rushes off, Fred wonders what it'll take to make
her stay in Weatherfield and not rush back to th'East to tend her poorly
dad. Dennis comes up with a plan, suggests to Fred he pays the nursing
fees so Orchid's dad is well cared for and she won't have to leave.
Fred writes out a cheque for five grand despite Ashley pleading with him
not to be so daft. Anyway, Ashley gets more suspicious about this Orchid
lass when she's invited to dinner at th'Elliot's only to clam up when asked
any questions about Thailand. Fred's not best pleased and asks Ashley
to show some respect to his future mother-in-law who has agreed to marry
the great bit lummox. Later in the pub Harry overhears Dennis and thinks
there's summat funny going on so he jumps in his car and follows Dennis to
the market. He spies Orchid (aka Stacey from Levershulme) selling cheap
pants and socks and rushes back to tell Ashley. Telling Fred that Orchid
wants to see him at the market to discuss material for the bridesmaids' frocks,
Ashley leads Fred to Stacy's stall and the truth sinks in at last.
Dennis is with Stacy and Fred blasts the pair of them: "Common tart! Filthy
pimp! I want these two deadlegs incarcerated!"
Because of the football, we had three episodes of Corrie in one night,
much of it taken up with the Todd and Sarah storyline, an emotional wrangle
that had me in tears and as a Corrie fan first and the Corrie weekly update
writer second, I didn't write much, just watched as they acted their hearts
out as Todd told Sarah he was gay. You just have to watch this, I don't
have the words to explain it as well as it was done. As the truth
hits Sarah she and Todd are in bits, confused and angry. Sarah packs
and moves back in with a gobsmacked Gail while Todd trundles across the road
to an understanding Eileen. When Gail found out that Eileen knew all
along, she's over there in her dressing gown banging on her door and shouting
the odds. A crowd, as is usual on such an occasion, gathers in the street
with Norris taking front row as Eileen and Gail battle it out on the cobbles.
This was fantastic. Loads of insults, loads of home-truths, loads of
dirty washing being well and truly washed in public. When Jason finds
Todd in the middle of the fracas he can't handle his brother being gay and
snubs him. Best bit by far was Nick being belted round the chops by
Jason when he sees Nick having a go at Todd. Todd thanks Jason but
in reply he says: "If I hadn't hit him, I would have hit you - and
I wouldn't have known when to stop, you dirty queer".
And that's just about that for this week.
