Ken gets another nasty surprise when he receives a second
speeding ticket through the post. He comments to Deirdre that he just isn't the
sort of person who gets speeding tickets, leaving Deirdre to comment that life
would be more exciting if he was. He thinks Aidan Critchely is to blame for the
tickets, but how to prove it? Anyway, when Ken's car goes missing from outside
of the house, Deirdre finally persuades him to ring the police. Meanwhile,
riding around the streets of Weatherfield in Ken's car is young Aidan himself,
cruising and playing the radio with no particular place to go. Candice and Sarah
have been fighting over Ade all week but it's Candice that claims the prize dork
for herself. Sarah's upset and finally gets it back together with Ade as he
tempts her into Barlow's stolen motor and away they go. Round the roundabouts,
over bridges, under bridges, under the underpass and down a blind alley as Ade
gathers speed and ultimately loses control of the car. As Sarah tries to leap
out of the moving car, it overturns and smashes into the back of a wagon. Ade
does a runner while Sarah lies bleeding under the wreckage. Some bloke from a
burger van calls the police as he watches Ade running away from the scene. And
then in one of them Corrie coincidences, PC Emma turns up and recognises the
car: "I know that car!". And she recognises the victim: "And that's Sarah Platt,
she lives across the road from me!" and then has the grisly task of telling Gail
and Richard that Sarah's been involved in an accident.
But first, she goes to
Curly and gets a hug of support before she breaks the bad news. Things are
already tense in the Hillman household as Gail and Richard have just returned
from Spain and Gail has found out that the holiday was nothing more than a bribe
to the council. She's furious with Richard for telling her more lies and he, at
least, tries his best to look sheepish. But things are about to get worse. PC
Emma comes in with her stern face on. "It's bad news, I'm afraid" she says.
"Patricia?" says Richard. "Sarah?" says Gail. And so Gail goes off to hospital
where Sarah's having brain surgery and there's every possibility things could go
seriously wrong. But where was Nurse Platt, the Weatherfield medic when all this
was going on? He's always at the hospital, always. It was disappointing not to
hear him chirp up in his scrubs: "I know that blood stained car accident victim!
It's Sarah Platt, she lives across the road from me!".
In an effort to win Janice back, Les tells her the housing officer is
visiting again and needs proof that the two of them are living together as
husband and wife, happily ever after, amen. Janice agrees but only because she
feels sorry for Les. When she gets there, Les has got the place set for
seduction a la Battersby, which is pretty scary, it has to be said. Les is in
his dressing gown and medallion and there are cheap candles and even cheaper
lager dotted around the room. "Come on, get yer kit off" he tells her. When it
becomes obvious to Janice just what's going on, she leaves, giving Les a life
time of fry-ups for one to look forward to, and not much else.
Emily brings Mr Woo to the Kabin for Norris to look after while she's out
shopping. Norris and the dog still aren't getting on. He tells Maria that he's
just not a doggy person and using her canine knowledge, Maria pinpoints this to
a Norris childhood trauma when he was savaged by a mutt as he played with his
yo-yo. But when he sees David Platt feeding chocolates to the dog, Norris
realises there's a way he can become friends with Mr Woo. Later, when Emily asks
in the Kabin for a box of chocolate truffles and it's not on the shelf, Norris
has a guilty look on his face and Mr Woo has a full tummy. Oh dearie me, doesn't
Norris know that chocolate is poison to dogs, especially small, ugly, spoilt
brat ones?
PC Emma is after promotion at work but gets passed over in place of a bloke,
Roger Overandout. When she tries to talk to Curly about it, he's more interested
in baby Ben and the two of them argue. Which leads nicely into PC Emma asking
Curly if they can have another baby. Odd, but there you go. In a very tender
scene, the likes of which Curly has always excelled in, he delicately but
definitely says no, not yet.
Maria starts working at the Rovers this week and like 99.9% of female bar
staff I have ever been served by, she serves the fellas first before she serves
the women. Back from his holiday, Vik takes a shine to the new barmaid, even if
she does pull lager from the bitter pump.
And finally this week, Peter's back in floral Lucy Lastic's bed. Promising
Shelley he'll meet her after work for a curry, he rolls over, does it again and
falls asleep. Shelley's beside herself with worry over yet another dork.
And that's just about that for this week.
