Corrie, just a bit late

[tvordlj]

Line of the Day:

• Blanche I’ve got very good sealegs – a sailor once told me so!
• Tracy to Loosy “They’re freaks the lot of them. You’re going to fit right in! (eh?)
• Jack “Trying to get a word in edgewise is like trying to light a match to a pound of wet tripe!
• Jack about Vera “You’re not a lovebird, more like a vulture!
• Karen “You’re not even bothered” Steve “Yeah I am, you’re bothering me!”
  

What did I tell you about SOPOD’s, boys and girls? “He’s out of our lives…. We’ll be fine now he’s gone”….. and what happens? He’s BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK! Richard is skulking around the corners and you just know this week is going to be a corker!

Some good stuff on today’s show, lots of chuckles and some histrionics I could have done without. But a good mix. You can’t blame Vera really for being sick at the loss of all that money. The Duckies’ are probably not too badly off with V’s job and Tyrone’s lodgings but that’s a lot of dosh to lose. Well done Sarah for defending Gail against Vera’s vicious tongue though. Jack can usually reign in Vera but I guess he realized there wasn’t much of a chance this time. Pity.

Stupidity: Craig Nelson. For someone that got into so much trouble for writing the wrong name on his schoolwork, for someone that knows better and has been told time and again, not only did he stand behind Vera and Jack and watch their photo being taken, he also offered to SELL info to the reporters!!! Not to mention being a disloyal mate to David if he had done so!!! Shelley… Now if you were as upset over your sister as she was, even if you weren’t that close, wouldn’t you have been out the door as soon as you got the call instead of 2 days later? Do we know what the problem with her sister is? I couldn’t make out when Shelley said “Our Sharon’s always had a ….. but she’s always pulled through before”.

Insidiousness: Reporters…One patting another on the back after chasing Todd and Sarah down the street… Norris sucking up… Jack and Vera selling out… Peter offering to help Martin see them out the door. Peter may be small but I'd bet he could take both reporters in a heartbeat. But “Major” Harry Flagg to the rescue! Didn’t you LOVE him spinning a yarn about the SAS undercover operation???

Chuckles: Fred had a hard time trying to get someone to change the baby’s nappy! Deirdre thinks a fun Sunday afternoon is doing a jigsaw puzzle! Laughed at Blanche keeping the puzzle with missing pieces because “He’s the Prince of Wales and She’s dead! Have you no respect??” (eh now, has Corrie just acknowledged a real life event???) So many Betty things today! Betty and Todd in the pub, Betty and Blanche in the butcher’s, Shelly wondering if off the shoulder dresses will look tacky, Betty reckons only if there are visible tattoos! Tracy described her family perfectly! I’m surprised it didn’t scare Loosey off though. Ashley asks Fred if he’ll be all right on his own, “NOOOO!!! I’LL FRET!!!!!!!!!”

Janice has a bigger gob than Karen? That’s a toss up! Why is Ken surprised that Aidan didn’t want to talk to him? Last time he saw him, A. told Ken to push off. Of course the baby can’t get to sleep with all the bouncing around on the cobbles! Tracey gets to be bridesmaid to *both* of Peter’s weddings! And Peter says he'd worry about messing up this marriage. A bit late for that I'd say. Bottled out again didn’t he? Sarah tells her *mother* to wrap up Bethany well if she’s going to play out in the garden. I know it’s far too early but Sunita and Ashley do make a nice couple. I’m so glad Craig told Norris he was nosy! He’s so smug and he needs that newspaper rolling up and beating with it as well.

Don’t touch that dial, this week is NOT to be missed!
