tvordlj Did you ever think you'd see the day when Terry's presence would make Jack smile and call for
celebratory drinks????
There were a lot of lines today that could have made it to the top. A very good episode i thought, with lots of wonderful little scenes. I guess the best was Karen sticking a balloon in Steve's mouth, "Don't just stand there looking gormless, get blowing!"
As i said, wonderful little scenes, Norris singing not only Ben to sleep, but Curly and Emma! Betty getting her name over the door! Mike and Janice. Roy, Ken and Norris at a table in the pub. All they needed was a snug :))) Touching scene with Deirdre admitting her encounter with Dev was important *to her* even if it wasn't to Dev. That sign painter was a star as was Auntie Joan!! Where do they find these actors and bravo to the writers.
You have to feel sorry for Les a little bit, you can't blame Dennis' death on him. No sense in "what iffing" - Les wanted to die and that's a tragedy no matter who it is that feels that hopeless. And drunk drivers can mow you down anywhere. Maybe Les should have stayed away from the funeral but he didn't make a big scene in the end. Nice to see Rita involved in the storyline and taking the motherly role seeing as Janice's mother was nowhere to be seen or even referred to. Odd that. You'd think that many motorcycles would have made more noise wouldn't you? And i guess that big bloke in the shaggy jacket was a different character than what he was when he was last seen on screen because Steve didn't freak out. apparently he was one of the two thugs that Jez had beat the crap out of Steve).
So remember Dennis as i do.... Scaring the beJesus out of Ryan and Jimmy, teasing Tyrone in the garage, dressed like a chick in the drag show, putting up with Todd and Jason's shenanigans because he understood why, and caring for the ones he loved.
Dev and Geena bored me a lot today, with their endless repeating the same old same old. You could see all along that getting married alone wasnt' really what she wanted. Geez from the look on Deirdre's face after the announcement in the shop, i hope she wasn't standing too near the dairy cooler. They'd have had to have a special offer on yoghurt once the milk got a dekko at her face. It *was* a nice touch toasting Dennis like that and i liked the pre-wedding reception. I don't know why Geena was moaning about her mother's wedding dress though, she had a perfectly lovely one herself. (Did Geena get those enormous boots from a Gene Simmonds (KISS) garage sale?)
I thought Jack and Vera had a car? Poor Liz Dawn's voice was terribly ragged. Did you notice when Bill Tarmey finished at least one of her sentences when her voice cracked? (that bit about Julie's marriage being on the.... "Rocks" he finished.. "Aye" she nodded) it was SO appropriate LOL Long married couples do that all the time! I know mine do though it's usually my mother ... then again, i think it might have to do with her "gift of gab" LOL (love ya Mum!) Seems like all is forgiven, even if you're Fizz, if you say you like Terry to Vera. I did wonder how Deirdre pointing vaguely down the row was clearly saying that the Duckie's lived at number 9. And i wondered how thick that blonde was, allowing her husband to convince her so easily that Terry was 100% bad when she is the one that had the affair with him. surely she must have seen SOME good in him. He couldnt' have been totally contemptible. She only came forward after her husband left her. Yeah all right, i'll concede he might have been a controlling bas***d and she was
afraid of him.
Huh? Curly just happened to have a tape recorder under the coffee table? I might have believed one of them little executive hand sized dictating machines. Rita recovered from what must have been hot sweaty hat head pretty quickly at the post-funeral get together (spare wig in her handbag?) I thought they were having it at the pub? Eve was going to offer. I guess we just didn 't see it being turned down. How did Deirdre know that Anita wanted her life story written (vis a vis her own sarcastic comment about writing her own life story to get Ken's attention). Anita never mentioned what she wanted to Ken until *after* Deirdre left for the pub.
LOL moment Fred offering Geena and Dev a few mini pork pies for the trip, Fred, again, telling Betty she was like the ravens of the Tower of London and Rita telling Auntie Joan to come along and get on her broomstick.
Oh yes. There was Anita, manipulating to be alone with Ken, waving her hands like a predator all over Ken like starch on rice, to the point even Roy and Norris know what she's after, dressing like July in January (and come on, when she knew they were alone she shed that coat and scarf like Patricia the Stripper sticking what passes for a chest out like fried eggs on a plate) very obviously flirting with him and then going off on him when he calls her on it. She gives me the creeps. I hope this is the last we see of her.
Right, i think i'll stop wittering for now.... See you next week. I know the crawl here said Corrie was on late next Sunday due to the World Cup but i thought the final was on Friday. So up in the air, check local listings etc.
