There’s bitching at the Barlows but this time it’s not Tracy bitching,
it’s Blanche. And Deirdre. Even Ken joined in and I’m sure little Amy had
a scowl on her face. And they’re all bitching about Tracy, which made something
of a change. Blanche calls Tracy a hussy and a tart when Tracy tells them
she’s got a new fella she met in a club. With Adam’s help pressing buttons
on Tracy’s phone, Blanche rings this new fella, Dom, and asks him if he’s
aware that his new piece of skirt is out on bail for murder. Tracy doesn’t
know any of this and sets off to meet Dom in a bar but when she’s stood up
she sits down to call a cab and then rises to greet Steve McDonald who’s
come to pick her up. And pick her up he does. The two of them have a drink
at the bar before heading back to the cobbles where Steve chances his arm
with a snog in the cab before pulling faces no. 27(a): slightly confused,
12(b) manic and 37(a) help I need me mother. It’s Amy’s 3rd birthday and after
the excitement of Pass the Parcel has sent the grown ups in search of alcohol
to steady their nerves, only Steve and Tracy are left in the Barlows as everyone
else gossips about them in the pub. “They’ll be at each other’s throats by
now” says Liz to Deirdre. Which was quite close to the truth as Tracy and
Steve had their tongues down each other’s throats, and then it’s up the apples
and pears to Bedfordshire. The morning after the night before Steve tries
to leave the Barlows without anyone catching him. Some hope. Blanche is lurking
in the kitchen, ready with a barbed comment and a piece of toast. Steve tries
to avoid Tracy the next day but they meet for a drink in the Rovers and
he asks her out for a Valentine’s meal on Wednesday night. Tracy’s over
the moon but not too stupid to realise he’s only asked her out to make barmaid
Michelle jealous. But then Tracy proves that in fact she is that stupid as
it doesn’t stop her agreeing to go out on the date.
Grandad Morton settled himself this week into becoming one of the Rovers
regulars. He’s hardly said a word so far, called Dev ‘Chief’ last week and
that’s been about it. He sits in a booth in his hat and bides his time by
the fruit machine, watching Les and Cilla tip in their cash. When
they’re done, he glides over, drops his money in, spins the reel and collects
the jackpot, in his hat. Les and Cilla try to guess his name and he’s just
got one thing to tell them when he astounds them with his win. “It’s Wilf!”.
Meanwhile, Wilf’s granddaughter Jodie fights with Jason to get the plastering
done in her new takeaway shop. Jason can’t cope so gets Bill Webster in
to help him finish it off. It was really Sarah who asked Bill to help Jason
out as Jase was too proud to take on any help, despite having to plaster
with one hand and push Holly in her buggy with t’other. Looking after Holly
is taking its toll on young Jason, his life’s not his own and he can’t cope
with the baby. In desperation (or was it laziness?) he rings emergency Social
Services and tells them he knows where there’s a baby being mistreated, her
name’s Holly Grimshaw and she lives on Corrie Street.
Sean winds up Sonny in the Rovers, getting in little digs at him about
his bisexual behaviour. Sonny’s playing it cool for now and tells Sean what’s
in the past must stay there. Michelle doesn’t know anything of Sonny’s past
yet and is falling fast for her new fella.
Over at Underworld, Jo comes clean to the factory girls and tells them
she and Liam are having a bit of a thing. She blurts it out to stop Kelly
from carping on about how much Liam fancied her but it backfires on them
all when Carla sacks Jo on account of the fact that if she’s thick enough
to fall for Liam then she’s not safe to work machinery. Kelly approaches
Carla for a job at the factory and no one, but no one, is pleased to see her
back. Liam dumps Jo as quick as you like, tells her he’s not interested
in anything heavy. He was probably just taking a more hands on approach to
his work in ladies pants.
Rita’s mate Doreen gets her into all sorts of mischief with drinking
and dining. This all adds up to Rita having hangovers in the Kabin and getting
her bon-bons in a right old state. Norris is not best pleased at
Rita having fun and tells her so, at every opportunity, blaming Doreen for
bringing her down. Rita’s having the time of her life and she toasts her
old mate with a drink to celebrate not being dead. Sounds like Norris could
do with some of that.
Fiz struggles this week to look after Chesney, to feed him and pay for
his food and school trips. She begs Cilla for the child benefit money but
she’s refused, of course. So she and Kirk go into Cilla and Les’ house and
nick all of their food from the cupboards. When Cilla finds out she’s straight
over to the flat nicking it all back before Maria throws her out.
But despite Fiz doing her best for her little brother, he’s defecting back
across the road, for chips, pizza and junk food after Fiz tries to feed him
up on veggies and love.
And finally this week, cabbie Lloyd Mullaney returned to the cobbles
after actor Craig Charles’ leave of, er, absence. And there wasn’t a word,
not a word, said about him being away. Lloyd reappeared from nowhere as if
he’d never been away.
And that’s just about that for this week.
