Lions and tigers and bare-faced lies, oh my!

Sylvia gets a call from an old friend in a care home, called Dorothy. That’s the friend, not the care home. And who knew Sylvia was a friend of Dorothy? Anyway, Dorothy’s moved rooms in the care home and found an unopened letter addressed to Sylvia from December 2011.  I’d have opened it, wouldn’t you? But Dorothy didn’t, she called Sylvia who tells Hayley’s the letter from Roy’s dad, St. John – which I think is pronounced Sinjun, like Injun.  Back home, Hayley can’t understand why Sylvia lies to Roy about the letter and begs Sylvia to let Roy read the letter to give him some closure about his dad. “Don’t you go all middle-class words on me!” Sylvia warns her daughter-in-law. As this is soap, the letter contents will out and not before too long and Roy may indeed get closure of a kind which might make up for him having to increase the price of hot drinks in the café by 10p.  I know, it’s shocking.

The Grimshaws set off for that London

Over at Eileen’s it’s happy families as Paul  returns to the fold, asks Jason  to be his best man and phones Todd in that London to book a weekend there for him and Eileen to see a musical, have dinner and visit her other son.

At Barlow’s Bookies, Peter’s got a face like a wet weekend after Rob has the place tarted up to attract new business. He even installs a new coffee machine, which goes down well with the punters, but not with Roy at the café who’s upset this new gadget, giving out coffee for free, will steal his customers away.  Rob tries to wheel and deal behind the counter of the betting shop and Peter remains patient, for now, but it’ll all blow up soon and the quicker it all comes down on Rob’s head, the better. He’s the dullest man in soap and no mistake.

Speaking of dull, St Ella can’t pay Owen for work done on the Rovers as her insurance won’t pay. Owen’s not best pleased, as you can imagine and tries to wreck the place to get his fixtures and fittings back.  Long story cut short – St Ella offers Owen half the pub in payment. But which half, the Rovers or the Return?  She also says yes to Karl’s proposal of marriage, this time. Oh gawd, please no, not a St Ella wedding, NO NO NO.

And finally this week, Izzy’s not happy that Gary’s spending so much time with Tina instead of with her. Oh dearie me, Izzy, just wait and see what he gets up to with Tina next week.

And that's just about that for this week. Remember, you can sign up to get these Corrie weekly updates by email at http://www.corrie.net/updates/weekly/subscribe.htm
