Flashback award: Shaky Star: Peter doesn't seem too happy to think about all he's got to be grateful for this past year. The more they talk about it, the worse he feels. (Excellent "Day in the life" episode as well!) which all leads to...the Off the Wagon Award.
Hopeless award: Where was Fiz and Hope at the ceremony, by the way?
Stalker in Training award: I think Kirsty has a dangerously obsessive side to her. She's certainly quick to jealousy.
Right on Cue Award: Tin star: Michelle wonders what the most useless think Carla can think of is. And Kirk walks in.
Miraculous Perception award: Kirk... how *did* he guess that bride-to-be didn't want to get married? And he pulled!
Who's Minding the Shop award: Stella's helping Lloyd. Karl's working/gambling. Tina's in town shopping. Steve's away. Who's minding the Rovers?
Showdown at the OK Corral award: Underworld vs Fosterworld and the Silk Wars. We don't have your fabric. Oh no. But Sean's sporting a handkerchief made with it. Nyah!
Pants on Fire award: Sucker star. Karl is supposed to be working. He's at the casino. And Lost. And said he'd run out of petrol. (It doesn't take 6 hours to get an empty tank filled)
Lines of the Week:
Karl to Stella "Mother. Businesswoman. Friend to the needy. Where do you find the time!"
Lloyd "Are you familiar with the concept of Chaos Theory?"
Frank "Stalin was more forgiving than you, Mother"
Peter "I'll get a taxi" Tommy "Do you want a number?" (um, Streetcars? Around the corner?)
Peter "I'm an alcoholic and all I can think about today is getting drunk"
Kylie "It just brings back stuff I'd rather forget" (like blackmail, you mean?)
Owen "You may mock" David "We will, we will"

The Frosty Awards:
Magic Jacket Award: Must be that beaten up black leather jacket that has some kind of power over women. Peter the chain smoking randy garden gnome started the tiresome merry go round again this week with him and the booze, Leanne and Cruella, with whom he has absolutely zero screen chemistry Why is he being constantly drawn to Carla, she is not even a bona fide drunk anyway. Had enough of it last time round, its boring the crap out of me this time. If you have problems discuss them with your wife.
Gymnast award: Kirsty trying to put her head on Tyrone’s shoulder during the tram crash service. Being as she is about a foot taller than him, it looked like she was about to do herself a mischief, like a disjointed giraffe. This woman is totally miscast to the point of ridiculousness.
Acting like a provocative slapper award: Why is Tina still walking around the house just in a towel in winter in mixed company? Who actually does this, doesn’t she have a dressing gown? It’s annoying the hell outta me, let alone Kirsty. Has she no modesty? Madam Sourpuss shouldn’t even be still living there, both she and Mr Cardboard Cut out should ship out.
Parking Laws Award: Tina took Rita’s car shopping into town – when there is a bus service at the end of the Street and a tram service that nobody uses and is only mentioned in sentimental terms – parked a bit over a line and got towed. Karl just dumped his car outside the casino while he went in to play the tables and it was fine. Hm
Homes and Gardens Award: With the silly pond business Anna’s garden suddenly looked massive, I thought they are all just backyards in ‘Street.
Taking Amy’s schooling seriously award: Steve and Tracy are on their hollis in Brighton in the school term? Making Amy miss out on all the Christmas activities and nativity plays? Its Panto season again.
Brothers Bonding Award: Why is on soaps that when someone fancies/has an affair with someone, their other half suddenly becomes their Best Pal?. All the Karl/Stella/Lloyd business is just over egged and silly, especially as Lloyd had a fight and sacked Karl not so long ago.
Most fags smoked in one episode goes to Peter who sounded like he needed a ventilator - gasping and heavy breathing (not sexy whatsoever) through the whole episode esp. scenes with Carla. Awful. I really liked Ken's speech..very moving.
Right on, as usual Frosty.
I know the chain-smoking is essential to the character of Peter, but Anonymous is right, the 'heavy breathing' sounded more short-winded than sexy.
I also don't understand how, after a night of drinking Vodka in the betting shop, Leanne couldn't detect the alcohol on Peter's breath as she declined the offer of an Anniversary break-fast in bed.
That's all I could think of as her face was so close to Peter's.
100% agree with Frosty. I don't get Tyrone and Kirsty at all although I admit opposites attract and they may become believable in time. Carla appeals to a lot of people but she leaves me completely unmoved either way by her situation. What are her redeeming features that make you empathise at all with her? The character is humourless and always speaks in a dead monotone. I wonder if that is Alison King trying to hold onto an authentic accent. Re: the pond feud, let's hope it doesn't go on as long as the gnome groan.
where was michelle? I thought she was living with carla and has no oher friends in t'street - so why didn't peter interrupt her in the shower? it could have been a menage-a-trois!
Love the awards Tvor
Michelle mentioned earlier in the week that she was going to see Ryan.
Drinking Vodka most of the afternoon and evening - then in about 30 mins he's sober ...hmm. After all those ciggies hope Peter brushed his teeth before kissing Carla. There is something slightly sinister about Kirsty - I think Tina is going to discover something troublesome about her and there will be a ' Richard Hillman/Audrey' -type scenario between Kirsty and Tina.
Definitely Kirsty's not right, not only 'not right' for Tyrone, but just not right.
Everyone loves Tyrone, hopefully, after the big 'Kirsty' story line, he'll meet someone suitable.
