The squirrels that were in Fred's and then Tommy's loft set up home at
the Platt's where Martin calls out the pest control people who do away
with the critters for £165. Fred and Tommy reckon it's best
to keep quiet so they're not collared by Martin to pay a share of the cash.
But it all comes out when Fred returns the football rattle to Roy who tells
Martin why he gave it to Fred in the first place. Fred and Tommy
cough up the cash and if you know where this storyline's going, write your
answers to me on a postcard at the usual address 'cos I'm beggared if I
know.
Shelley's on a night out with Tina's Brandford Hen Night Do (2004) stamped
on a t-shirt covering her ample bosom. I must get one of the t-shirts
for the next time I go out: Glenda's Weekly Big Shop at Sainsbury's, it
would probably say, such is my world at the minute. Anyway, while
she's away Charlie and Liz are in the bar after hours and Liz is chatting
about how much she's missing Jim who's locked up in the big house, so he
is. Charlie fancies his chances and tries to grab Liz but when she
tells him to stop, that she's not interested, he carries on anyway and gets
a good slap for his trouble. Nay, a great slap. I'd go even further.
This was probably the best, most realistic slap I've ever seen on Corrie,
knocking my previous favourite of Sally slapping slapper Nat into 2nd place.
I think I even cheered at this point. When Shelley returns home, Charlie's
lied and told her Liz had come onto him the night before and Shelley believes
every stinking word before throwing Liz out. With nowhere else to go she
turns up in Steve and Karen's living room with her suitcase just as they
were about to test Karen's fertility. Again. Steve calls to see Charlie,
it was all very High Noon, Charlie with a hammer in his hand and Steve with
a smirk on his face to tell Charlie to leave his mother alone in future.
Liz and Deirdre chat about what's happened and when Liz finds out that Charlie
had tried it on with Shelley's own mother, she's straight back to the Rovers
to tell Shelley how stupid she really must be to believe Charlie's lies.
Doubt starts to creep into Shelley's mind (let's face it, it'll have plenty
of room in there to creep, stretch, do a bit of pilates) and when she confronts
Charlie later, he says he won't stay where he's not trusted, loses his
temper and says he's moving out.
It's the Webster's anniversary and while Kev's thinking of a romantic
meal for two in Delfine's, Sally books a table for six at McPizza.
She wants the girls there with them and their friends, now she knows that
one of Sophie's friends from the posh school goes on holiday to Greece, for
a month each year. Well. The friend, Pippa Popadopolous is Greek and
her parents own a kebab shop, they live in the flat above, and Sally's not
quite sure what to make of it, especially when Pippa moans about how much
she dislikes her parents and wants to be different from them. Is this how
Sophie will turn out too? Meanwhile young Rosie throws a tantrum, sick
of being ignored by Sally in favour of her sister. Rosie demands a dog for
her birthday and there's friction in the household when Kev agrees and Sal
says no: "What'll it lead to next? Purnies?". A guinea pig is suggested
instead. As if.
Sunita and Dev set the date for their wedding as October 25th and over
lunch with Frankie, mad Maya wants to hear all the gossip on her least
favourite couple. Maya's recognised in the restuarant by the taxi-driver
who drove her to the fake wedding she took part in, pretending to be Sunita
t'other week. He asks her about the wedding and she has to bluff her way
out as Frankie wonders what the 'eck they're on about.
And there's lust in the air this week as Candice and Jason get back together,
with a little help from fairy godmother Sean. Also back in each other's
pants are Jamie and Leanne, much to Frankie's disgust but these two are
well suited, being as bad as each other and Tyrone's still not having any
luck with Maria.
And that's just about that for this week.
Glenda
