Les has taken on more than he's bargained for as Cilla's son Chesney moves
in with her and Les. Fiz takes on the role of the older, more ginger-headed
sibling as Cilla does her best to offload her son any opportunity she gets.
Kirk isn't best pleased now he's sharing the house with Les' lover and her
little 'un and has to make do sharing bunkbeds with Chesney.
Ciaran and Sunita name the date for their wedding as December 29th. Well
it's something to do in that lull between Christmas and New Year, innit?
I never know what to do with myself then either, do you? Mind you,
there's mind games being played in t'corner shop with Dev fawning over Maya
who's jealous of Sunita who's being strung along by Ciaran who's captured
Bev's affections. Maya tells Dev he must sack Sunita to prove to her
that he values her above all others. Sacked Sunita goes straight to
Maya for legal advice and before you can say 'wrongful dismissal', Sunita
is back working behind that counter again.
While Ciaran's at the registry office dropping off a cheque to pay for
their wedding, or whatever you need to do in a registry office a month
before your wedding, he bumps into a bump with Tracy Barlow behind it.
She needs him for a witness but when he sees what she wants him for, he
can hardly believe his eyes. Tracy marrying Roy? Well, they
almost didn't but in the end they did. Roy is in turmoil and sick to the
stomach at the thought of marrying Tracy and betraying Hayley, his true
love. He tells Tracy: "I can't do it. Wedding's off" to which she replies:
"Then deal's off!" With only minutes to spare, Hayley convinces Roy
he must go through with it, it's the only way they'll ever have any legal
claim over the baby. And so the deed was done, Roy: "I do" but it's
only for the baby, and Tracy: "I do" but it's only for the money. Before
the wedding takes place, Roy has the good sense to transfer all his worldy
goods (the cafe and a couple of books on Manchester's trams) from his own
name to Hayley's in case Tracy goes after his assets when they eventually
divorce.
Katy has her mates round at the flat while Martin's out and when he comes
back before the party's over he's shocked and stunned at what he sees.
There's teenagers in their bed, Candice is being sick and someone's
making merry with his bottle of whisky. He throws the lot of them out and
talks to Katy about maturity and responsibility while she sticks her fingers
in her ears and goes: "La la la, not listening, la la la". Anyway,
it's careers night at school and Martin goes along with Katy with Angela
turning up later, of course the teacher assumes these are Katy's parents.
And when Tommy turns up unexpected later on, he makes his mouth go and causes
a scene in front of all her friends and teachers. Angela's mortified
and spends the night in Katy and Martin's flat only to go back home the next
day where everytihng seems to be fine with Tommy until they argue again and
she throws him out.
Man's man Charlie Stubbs the builder with the 1975 haircut chats up Bev
in the Rovers this week and got himself a free pint for his troubles.
Turns out he's moved into the builder's yard which, I think, is sort of
opposite to where Sally's hardware shop was.
More money moans for Sarah and Todd as they find out Peter Barlow's solicitor
has put up the rent on their flat and they don't know how they're going
to afford to stay on there, especially since Todd raises the idea of having
a baby. Sarah lets nanna Brenda take out Bethany for the day thinking
her daughter's safe with a harmless old woman who wouldn't be taking Bethany
to her dead father's grave while spouting bile and vitriol about her ex-husband,
although it does make a change from going for a happy meal at McDonalds.
Talking of McDonalds, Steve gets a visiting order to see Jim in prison
and off he goes without Karen, who couldn't care less. It's the same
old Jim with "catch yerself on" and "so it is" in his first line of dialogue,
who thinks Liz is having an affair with a bloke in Blackpool and wants Steve
to find out where the land lies. It's north of Lytham St Annes, if I'm not
wrong. Anyway, gossip alert - my brother manages two bars on the pier in
Blackpool and in a call a couple of weeks ago he told me that Coronation
Street were fiming there. I said I knew they were doing stuff in Blackpool,
yes, and he said, no, they were filming there. Right there. In the bar. In
fact, he'd just been asked to turn the music down so it didn't interfere
with their sound levels as they recorded. Anyway, the Blackpool connection
continues as Bev and Fred are invited to Cecil Newton's 70th birthday. Hmm
I can see a theme building here. A seaside special p'raps?
And that's just about that for this week.
