It's not often I lose complete interest
in a Corrie plotline but this whole Joe / Dev / Geena saga has left me cold and
therefore, dear reader, I haven't really got a clue what's been going on. It's
basically Dev and Joe battling over Geena, lots of breathless exchanges: "Oh
Dev!" "Geeeeennnnaaahhhh!" "Oh Joe!" and in the end she had the good sense to
taxi away with a tear in her eye saying she wished she'd never met the both of
them. Oh, and yeah, Sunita's the only one who's been telling the truth to anyone
and that's only because she's got her own agenda as she wants Dev for herself.
But enough already, I'm that bored with it, aren't you?
Over to more interesting goings-on chez Battersby when Les and Kirk pretend
they're a gay couple to try to convince the housing officer they're living
together. All this so Les won't get sent back to Weatherfield Hall Estate.
Unfortunately for Les, Janice pops in for her catalogue while the housing
officer's there and manages to screw up what little chance Les had of convincing
the council official as she laughs at the idea of Les as a gay man.
Maria comes back from Canada after dumping Nick and waltzes back into the
flat to take up where she left off in Weatherfield. Problem is, it's only a two
person flat and now that Fiz has moved in, there's not much room for any of the
three girls. And when Maria finds out her brother Kirk is going out with Fiz,
she tells them both she doesn't want them in the flat snogging now she's back.
Audrey doesn't yet know that Maria's dumped her grandson or that she's moved
back into the flat so when Audrey hears loud music coming out of the upstairs
flat, she manages to convince herself she's having another senior moment because
she knows both Toyah and Fiz are in the cafe and both of them swear they haven't
left the radio on inside.
Poor Audrey, she doesn't half take a bad turn, worried to death she's losing
her mind, and you just really feel for her. She gets her electricity bill and
gets confused again, she can't remember letting the little man in to read the
meter, how can this bill be a reading, not an estimate? Worried to bits, she
doesn't trust herself to babysit when Gail asks her look after the kids as she
needs them out of the way because....
.... Patricia's friend Charlotte turns up out of the blue (well, Australia to
be precise). She wants to identify her friend's body at the morgue and although
Richard does all her can to dissuade her from doing so, she's adamant that
she'll go through with this to say goodbye to her friend Patricia. Fortunately
for Richard the police call round just in the nick of time to say there's been a
mix up. After Richard identified Patricia's body, the dental records have been
checked which prove that it's not Patricia who was found in the canal. Gail does
her best to be hospital to Charlotte and invites her for dinner, although as you
can imagine, Richard's not keen to have her hanging about for fear of her asking
dodgy questions. Anyway, over dinner Charlotte spots the bracelet on Gail's arm
and knows straight away that it was the one that belonged to Patricia, her
favourite one that she loved. Richard even manages to squirm his way out of that
by saying it was his grandmother's bracelet that Patricia wore and now Gail's
wearing. At the end of a very awkward dinner, Richard drives Charlotte home,
threatens her a bit in a quietly menacing way by the light of his dashboard and
returns home to Gail. "I think that's the last we'll see of Charlotte" he says,
with menace in his eye. Wake up Gail and smell the formaldehyde!
It's work experience week at Weatherfield comp. Sarah's helping out at
Audrey's salon and Ade is working at Kev's garage. Tyrone's acting the big fella
now he's no longer the junior and makes sure he gets Ade doing lots of MOT (mug
of tea) work. It's clear that Ade's more keen to learn how to hotwire cars than
mend motors but Sarah's just happy to have him out of Candice's hot little hands
all week.
And elsewhere this week, Eileen's over the moon after one of Todd's tutors
tells him he's Oxbridge material and Joe does the dirty on Shelley again. When
she has a girly night in with Sunita, he's straight up the tradesman's entrance
at the florist shop with juicy Lucy. Why? Answers on a postcard please, 'cos
he's got a good life and a smashing girl in Shelley and it just doesn' t make
sense to me.
And that's just about that for this week.
