And so without any further ado, here we go with this week's Coronation Street update.
Dennis gets a new job and joins the long line of lollipop men and women who have held the post (geddit?) in Coronation Street. But he comes in for some stick when Steve nicks his stick after Dennis holds up the Streetcars cabs to let the kids cross the road to Bessie Street School. Being a Lollipop Operative, or as I like to call them, Lollipoperative, is a job of some import, they’re there to ensure young and old cross the road in safety, so why Corrie have always made a joke of the job is beyond me. But maybe the chicken knows.
Over at the Rovers, Tommy’s getting pints bought for him left, right and centre and he’s drinking them all, every last one. Everyone’s assuming the baby Tina’s carrying is his and they all want to congratulate him but all Tommy wants to do is drown his sorrows. And when they’re well and truly drowned, he blabs baby surrogacy news to the whole packed pub. And so, the secret’s out and so is Tommy when Tina chucks him from the flat.
At the same time, David and Kylie have a falling out over babies and David ends up staying the night on the sofa in Tina’s flat. When Kylie finds out she’s straight round there with a crow bar trying to break the front door down and gets her revenge by snogging Tommy in full-frontal view of David in the Bistro.

Because in NZ, the lollipop job is held by the schoolchildren themselves, they all learn sense of responsibilities etc.
ReplyDeleteThe new Peter looks like he's had a few tokes...sorta all dreamy eyed.. and a little stupid at the same time.
ReplyDeleteIn Canada, children act as school patrollers (lollipop folk) too, definitedly instills a sense of social responsibility.
ReplyDeleteI may be in the minority here, but I'm looking forward to Nick and Leanne getting married. Like Kylie and Eva, Nick has been growing on me as of late. He seems to genuinely love Leanne and perhaps he's the sort of bloke who tries hardest when his lady's affections are uncertain? Definitely creates a better balance of power, which I think he works better under. Looking at what he's done to help David/Kylie and Max, while also giving his mother employment, he does seem like a caring man underneath.
You may be looking forward to Leanne and Nick getting wed, but sadly I doubt if it will ever happen now Mr New and shiny teeth is back on t'Street.
ReplyDeleteChris Gascoyne is such a wonderful actor that I positively loathe the odious Peter. He's not just a vicious drunk, he's devious, manipulative and selfish when sober. I sure hope Leanne makes sure her head rules her heart, and she sees clearly where her choice lies.
ReplyDeletePeter's been in California, the land of beautiful plastic people, where the orthodontists are outnumbered only by the plastic surgeons, so it's no wonder that he's sporting shiny white teeth, set off by the melanoma-inducing tan.
I'm sick of Nick and Leanne scowling and Peter is already playing games with them. Pretending to be happy for them when we all know he's not and will be doing his best to stop the wedding.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if Leanne and Nick will marry but I think the wedding day will be a disaster if Peter and Eva have got anything to do with it.
As for Carla. She needs to get Rob out of that office pronto! I guess she'll be drunk this week and then leave but I hope she'll sort them all out when she gets back!
This whole thing between Steve and Dennis is inane! Why would Steve pick on a senior citizen? Stupid storyline.
ReplyDeleteI hope Nick & Leanne get married. Peter has come back as a very sly ex-drunk. I don't like him. And I'm not looking forward to another ride on the Peter/Nick/Leanne/Carla merry-go-round. :-(
~JB in Canada
I agree with JB above. The whole Dennis/Steve thing felt a bit contrived and not in character for Steve (although the 'reveal' to Rita was classic Corrie). I also agree re P/N/L/C - let's have these characters involved in storylines that don't only revolve around each other.
