Ok, down to business. Flippin 'eck. That first shot of Peter Barlow stood outside the bookies gave me a shock. I thought it was EastEnder's Nick Cotton. Scary. All he needed was a cape and a pair of fangs. Maybe he's after a part in Simon's school play as a pantomime villain?
What a wonderful comic opportunity the writers had this week with 'Toddly' and his posh fella showing up, and they certainly didn't disappoint. Rosie's "I've actually got a lesbian sister. Like, a proper one. Oh yeah, full blown." The whole thing was a joy, and Eileen's expressions were priceless, but my "Like, totally favourite," bit was this:
Jason to Todd: "Are you trying to say that all models are thick?"
Rosie (with her usual incredulity): "Well, some are, actually Jason. Scary."
The whole Xin (or Sheena, as Kylie calls her!) thing is almost as unbelievable as the whole Eddie Windass thing. They should have had a whirlwind romance and run off to open a fusion Chinese Resturant/Patisserie together. Wouldn't be any more far-fetched than what's actually happened.
There's another one who moved everything off the menu in with her when she came to live with Graham and Tina, but left with only an empty suitcase as she did her (not very good) disappearing act this week.
Laugh? Don't ask. Keith and Deirdre at the pottery class. Who'd have thought those hands could have produced such an amazing Etruscan Amphora? But what was Ken thinking? It was like something Sean would have concocted (and yes, I chose that word deliberately!) If haven't seen it, or would like to see it again: http://bit.ly/ktkSeD (you have to put up with a short ad first, but it's worth it!).
My Grin of the Week this week is:
Ken, pithily (about their pottery teacher): “He wouldn't know an Etruscan vase if Tracy hit him on the head with it.”
I don't understand what's so great about Rosie? yes, she has great lines - but she tells them in such a wooden way that they fail to be amusing, except when repeated on this site later! i can't wait for her to leave, actually.
ReplyDeleteI love Rosie, she's funny because there actually are people like that (lol I know D:)
ReplyDeleteI think Rosie's acting and lines have been brilliant lately....great pairing of Rosie and Jason! Todd's return was so very disappointing and too short...dumb storyline.
ReplyDeleteI thought Todd's return was disappointing. Jools wasn't exactly at the head of the good looks queue and Todd is so out of Jools' league. Todd being so scared of losing Jools wasn't really credible. And the Toddly stuff was just nauseating.
ReplyDeleteRosie is a great character, well acted and is an asset to the show.
I dont mind Rosie, she is an airhead like many girls of her age today, doesnt say much for the expensive edukayton she had though. At least she is easy on the eye, unlike her constantly scowling, rather common and increasingly butch sister.
ReplyDeleteI like Rosie. She has really developed into a believable character, and her lines are a blessed light relief to the tortuous 'stories du jour'.
ReplyDeleteAnd I loved Keith and Dreary at the pottery class - more of that please! Both actors looked like they were having a whale of a time and it was great to see them outside the walls of No1 doing something other than hand wringing, soul searching and agonising over Tracyluv.
I expect the pottery storyline will be dropped sharpish. After all KEn won't want to keep going if he's rubbish at it lol
