Fred's prize of a weekend in Bridlington for the most romantic couple in
the Rovers goes to Ashley and Claire when he gets down on one knee and asks
her to marry him and she says yes. In second place was Ken with a
romantic poem for Deirdre: "A rose by any other name as Deirdre is not a
rose at all" he mused, although far better would have been:
There was a young woman called
Deirdre
Who's specs made her look a
bit weirdy
She's got a wayward daughter
Who's no better than she oughta
And a partner who's turned a
bit seedy
While everyone's celebrating Ashley and Claire's engagement, Janice gets
drunk in the corner, snogs Patrick and ends up in tears when she remembers,
with regret, that she was only ever a Spanish onion. Yes, it was one of
those epidoes. Claire's mum is invited for dinner, takes the
news of her daughter's impending nuptials badly and walks out. Maxine's
mum is also given the shock news but at least has the good grace, through
her tears, to wish them both well before she walks out too.
Ciaran packs his suitcase for his holidays with Tracy and the stolen money
just as Penny King calls by for a quick chat and he ends up confessing all.
Just at that minute, Tracy's swanning out of the Barlow's with her suitcase
and some stinging farewells for her family and then ends up begging them
to take her back in when she finds out what Ciaran's done. The truth
about Tracy posing as Penny comes out and both Ciaran and Tracy are arrested
and taken away for fraud in a jam tart, sorry, sandwich. And then in
the most cringe making scene I've ever witnessed on Corrie, Deirdre goes
to Mike and begs him on bended knee (not a pretty sight, oh no) to do what
he can to stop Tracy going to jail. Penny walks in on them and Mike
persuades her to drop the charges, to which she agrees. But later in
the Rovers, Penny wonders where her relationship with Mike's going
and realises she's no closer to him than she was when they first met, so
she tells him it's over and walks out.
Fiz is doing all she can to get Tyrone and Maria back together again. She
fixes them up on a blind date but Maria knows that Tyrone will be there
and Tyrone knows that Maria will be there and we know that both of them
know but they don't know that the other one knows. It's all a
bit sad really as Tyrone's still lusting after lost love and Maria just wants
to be friends.
Charlie's giving Shelley the run around, staying out drinking and not coming
home when he says he will. He's got his glad eye fixed on Gail
at the minute, she's asked him to erect some woodwork in the bedroom and
Shelley faces up to the fact she'll never be able to trust him. When
he turns off his mobile phone as she tries to give him a call, Fred says:
"Perhas he had a weak signal?" but Shelley knows the signal's strong, the
battery's fully charged and she's just one of many on a list in his little
black (phone) book.
Les overhears Dev talking about Indian weddings that feature an elephant
and how it's traditional to reward those who offer up their services to
the groom. Les thinks if he gets Dev an elephant he'll be rewarded
handsomely but even after roping in Kirk to help, they find a llama, an
ox and a horse - but no elephant for Dev. Dev's amused when he hears
why they've been trying to find him the animal and tells Les the reward
is the animal's manure, good for the garden but can hardly be exchanged
for pints in the Rovers.
And that's just about that for this week.
