Coronation Street Weekly Updates for the internet since 1995.
Glenda was on holiday. This
week's update written by K Richard Whitbread.
Molly is having fun at Fiz's expense - she keeps trying to convince Fiz that Kirk is about to swap his affections between the girls and flirts with him. Now remember Kirk has eaten peas larger than his brain so either he will fall for the flirting and Molly will gain revenge for Fiz's bullying - or perhaps she won't. Fiz decides that the best way of keeping Kirk loyal is plenty of rumpy-pumpy! Which given his brain power is probably the best approach! After all if he is bed with Kirk he cannot even speak to Molly.
Anyway Norris's search for a new job steps up notch this week with an interview, sadly it turns out that the interviewer is his step-son - Neville, son of ex-wife Angela. Neville humiliates Dorris by reminding him of his treatment of his step son and the forgotten birthday presents (right on Dorris - he deserved it on the basis of this performance) and terminates the interview by offering Dorris an executive position in charge of mobile hot liquid refreshments which is refused - tea boy!
However this leads onto the arrival in the Kabin of - yes - Angela herself, obviously resurrected from the dead and indeed fresh from burying her sixth husband. She demands that Norris joins her for lunch and despite warnings from Rita (one husband dying automatically generates a vacancy which requires filling immediately) that she is Angela he goes believing Angela's story that she had changed. Over lunch things start well until Angela has a glass or six of red wine and the overbearing demanding woman appears demanding that Norris eats the dessert for which she has paid. After all she wants to name the day. Norris realises that nothing has changed and departs - but only just in time with the usual adroit timing we expect from Norris.
Keith is causing mayhem. He has acquired a pig to keep in the back garden (no I don't think it is legal either these days) and the pig keeps escaping into Gail's garden. She reckons the pig is dangerous but no doubt it will bring fun and laughter to the entire Street.
The cab office have a falling out. Lloyd (Craig Charles doing a great job) decides that the drivers should have their own call signs and Les decides he is Alpha male, Lloyd is Lone Wolf etc. Steve is not keen so they decide to have a vote - Steve gets cornered into looking after Amy and the drivers go out for a few drinks and the call signs are agreed. However it all very wrong when Les decides to have a go at Eileen who is then used by Steve to get his own way. He pretends to Lloyd that she is on strike and will not answer the phones. Eileen plays along and she ends up with Lloyd on his knees in the Rovers begging her to return to the switch. Needless to say she complies. (And will Lloyd and Eileen soon be an item?).
Martin the football mascot is issued with a challenge from a competitor mascot (the previous year the two mascots were given red cards). More fun and hilarity no doubt, which is more than can be said for the show which must not be named - the last time I flicked past the channel two harpies were arguing over a man!
Liz as often seems to be the case has a new man - Barry. Turns out Barry is married - sadly the wife is thick and paints "SLAG" all over Bev's front door. All we see initially is a car watching the flats - Barry however is humiliated even more the following morning when the wife starts shouting at Bev about Barry - Liz throws him out of her flat as he protests that the marriage is over - as his wife observes their marriage is not over until she tells him it is over!
Chesney - doncha' just love him? Poor lad is not feeling well this week - he had the misfortune to see Sally with no clothing. Well she is not quite the pert young thing she once was. Fair turned his mind it has. Particularly as he has been seeing a lot of the suddenly wonderful Sophie - where do Granada find all these great kids - she is a natural.
And the big event of the week is of course the wedding. So there has to be a stag night. Charlie and the lads go out and have a few, or in Charlie's case, just the one - female, blonde and available - Charlie's favourite type. Just in case you were in any doubt about Charlie seeing him in bed with the blonde on the morning of his wedding is bound to re-assure you that this is a good family man looking forward to being married to R'Shelley.
And of course there is wonderful hen night in the back of the Rovers. They force feed absinthe to Betty who is asleep in seconds and misses the excitement. Shelley is so sorry for the last few months - falling out with all her friends, with her mother, Sunita, being a poor employer. She hopes they can all have a new start with her wedding the next day. Bev however cannot let matters lie and she gets Violet to tell her story of the night that Charlie made advances. Shelley is distraught, but refuses, as usual to believe a word of it.
Anyway the following morning Fred takes Shelley to church telling her as she sits in the car that this is her last chance to change her mind. But she wants to go ahead and she walks into church. I suppose we are all hoping that someone will know of some objection to the marriage and that when the vicar asks the question that a voice will be heard - Bev looks on anxiously - but the moment passes.
Charlie confirms that he will take Shelley to be his lawful wedded wife. The focus moves to Shelley (the voice on BBC7 of the Faraway Tree and the Enchanted Wood) and what does she answer? "No" Vicar - "I'm sorry?" Shelley - "No I'm sorry, I won't". I am surprised that we did not hear the whoops of joy from Bev but the signature music was played just a fraction too quickly.
