Coronation Street Weekly Update, June 1 2009

Greetings fellow Corrie fans and welcome to another weekly update. This week the update’s a little jaunty from the sunshine with a nice healthy glow to its face and a sore foot where it burned. And so without any further ado, here we go with this week’s Coronation Street update.

Julie’s loving having a sister and after crying along to the Sound of Music last week with Sean on the sofa, Julie knows she needs someone older and wiser, telling her what to do. Eileen knows it too but doesn’t want to be the one that Julie needs. Too late. It’s all ‘Our Eileen’ this and ‘Our Eileen’ that from Julie and she even takes Sean under her wing, determining to sort him out as she becomes his lifecoach-slash-guru-slash-psycho bitch from the wrong side of Weatherfield. Sean doesn’t care about the last slash bit, he’s just loving the attention.

Fiz’s in tears over John Stape this week as her letter to him in the big house has been returned to sender, address unknown, no such jail cell, no such zone. Then she was going to take it by herself and put it right there in John’s hand but it’ll come back the very next day and still Fiz will be too dim to understand. Chesney returned to school this week, mainly to get away from Fiz, but also because he found out that Kenzie Judd isn’t as scary as he likes to think he is. Bullies never are.

Fed up with Blanche in the flat above the bookies, Peter does minor mind manipulation and Blanche falls for it all. He gets her to tell Ken that she’ll go back to the Barlow’s but only on condition that her room is painted, decorated and a carpet of freshly picked rose petals laid down so she doesn’t get her shoes dirty when she walks across the cobbles from bookies to Barlows. Ken agrees her room could do with a spruce-up and sets to with the anaglypta. I love that word.

Desperate Audrey is so in need of male company she takes a drink from and has dinner with the insufferable Uncle Umed. She’s never been fussy, has Audrey, not when there’s a free drink and dinner involved.

Joe’s become addicted to his painkillers and starts being nasty to Gail. She’s so used to fellas shouting at her as a term of endearment that his tetchiness only makes Gail warm to him more. David’s up to no good, pretending he’s masterminding a robbery that Gary Windass wants in on. Of course there’s no robbery but Gary doesn’t know that, David’s just enjoying winding up the Windass.

Over in Roy’s Rolls the forces of good and evil meet across a caff table as Roy and Eddie Windass have a show-down over Eddie stealing Roy’s identity. Hayley finds out what’s gone on when she goes to the cash and carry and finds a million life-size cardboard cut-outs of Eddie posing as ‘Roy Cropper – our millionth customer’ and the proud winner of a European weekend city break for two. Roy bars Eddie from the caff, tells Anna she can keep her job as long as Eddie pays the cash back and even prepares a repayment schedule. But no, I’m still not warming to the Windasses.

And finally this week Michelle Connor bonked both blokes – Luke and Peter – before leaving Corrie to go on her singing tour with JD. I wonder if she’ll do a medley of her hit? She also had, you know, *the* talk with son Ryan about the birds and the bees and the beers. “Young people your age, you have urges…” she started as the nation cringed for poor Ryan. With Michelle gone from his life Peter almost falls off the wagon and hits the bottle. Actually, he hits the bottle off the kitchen sink so that Blanche’s best sherry splashes all over the kitchen but at least he’s been delivered from evil and lead not into temptation. Amen.

And that’s just about that for this week.
