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.
