Coronation Street Weekly Update, August 1 2011

Greetings and welcome to the Coronation Street Weekly Update. Without any further ado, here we go with this week's Coronation Street update.
Find out more about these Coronation Street Weekly Updates and why they've been written for th'internet since 1995 at http://www.corrieweeklyupdates.btinternet.co.uk

Tracy tempts Steve to tea with a Freshco’s finest quiche. I’d have been there meself if I’d have known she was serving one of those. She shoos Ken and Deirdre to the Bistro for a meal and settles down to a cosy family tea with Amy and Steve for some banter over the Barlow table. And then before you know it, it’s all gone snogtastic and then it’s the morning after the night before. “Mission-ary accomplished!” sings Tracy to her mum as a whole nation of Corrie fans barfed into their barms. Steve tries and fails to sneak out quietly and falls prey to clingy, needy Tracy. Showing a pair of balls we never thought he had, he tells Tracy he wants nowt to do with her which huffs her up well, as you can imagine and she storms off back to that London with little Amy in a taxi. Give her nine months and I bet she comes back with Amy and another little present for Steve.  As Lloyd told Steve: “Play with fire, you get your fingers burned. Sleep with fire, you get yer…” Ahem!

Meanwhile, Becky and Clarkey have split up. “I would like to put a flea in his ear,” says a sympathetic Roy.  She speaks to Steve about him sleeping with Tracy as little Amy spilled the beans to her about daddy sleeping over.  Mr and Mrs Mc agree to move on, separate and go their own ways. Much like my bosom in a bad bra I once had.  Anyway, Becky then applies for, and gets, a bar job at Nick’s Bistro.

Elsewhere, Doc Carter refers Gary to see a psychiatrist. He should also do the same for his mother as it looks like she’s falling for Owen after he takes her and FAYe to the flicks. Am I the only person left in the world who calls them flicks? I can’t be, can I?

Love’s in the air, once again, for star crossed lovers, Brian and Julie after Brian returns Dylan’s cardigan to Coronation Street and bumps into Julie. He tells her he’s free of his missus now and they agree on a date.

Also loved up are Audrey and Marc and just when you thought that the goddess that is the fragrant Mrs Roberts couldn’t get any better, she just goes and does.  Marc asks her to attend a LGBT event with him as Marcia and at first she’s not sure, but she says yes. Afterwards they head for a hotel bar for a drink where Marcia gets a bit of stick from two fellas and it’s Audrey who defends him, in a wonderful scene. “When I want your opinion, I’ll bob yer a text,” she tells one of them before throwing red wine over them both.  Go on there, Audrey.

Over at the Alahan’s, Amber upsets everyone by staying out all night with Tommy Duckworth and revealing that she’s been kicked out of Uni.  Dev’s head’s spinning trying to make sense of it all.

And finally this week, David and Gail convince Kylie she can look after little Max and she decides to go for custody of her son.  It’s a good storyline, acted well, I’m quite enjoying this one. Paula Lane as Kylie is a cracking little actress and I just hope they don’t do what they did with her on-screen sister Becky and shove her down our throats for the next few months so that by the time Christmas comes we’ll all be sick of the sight.

And that's just about that for this week.
