Silver star: Carla goes the minimal route. Deirdre experiments (coq au vin from scratch). I reckon none of them will end up with their own cooking show.
Buzzword award: Cappucinos and rebranding and Development Consultants. Rob is on a roll.
Bromance award: Tyrone and Tommy back together again!
Blast from the past award: Ken and Peter both reckon Rob reminds them of Mike Baldwin. He does a little but he's got more smarm than the charm Mike could have now and then. Also: Peter quoted Blanche!
Love is blind award: Stella is naturally going to believe Karl over Leanne without a suspicion.
If I was a Carpenter award: Kylie's rubbish at putting things together. Even Lego!
Cheesy business name award: "Denaro bank" really? "Denaro" is an Italian and Spanish slang word for Money.
The Ultimate Ultimatum award: Leanne on investing in the Rovers. "It's Karl or the Rovers"
Lines of the week
Deirdre "Oh Eileen. Not Ghost!" Eileen "Well, you're not the only one that likes a bit of pottery. It was either that or five menopausal women talking dirty" (lovely girly scene!)
Jason to Deirdre "Just the woman I've been looking for" Deirdre "Can I have that on film and play it back on a daily basis?"
Peter "We had a perfectly good coffee machine" Rob "What? Tea, coffee and botulism?"
Peter about Rob "He's like a human oil slick"
Peter to Carla "Save you turning the microwave on" Carla "Oy cheeky, I'm always cooking!" Peter "A ham and cheese toastie? How is that cooking?" Carla "It started off cold, I made it hot. That, baby, is cooking" (works for me!)
Izzy "I'd rather stitch knickers" (Liar)
Lloyd to Steve "Your bum cheeks might be rock hard but the rest of you is hangin"
Owen to Izzy "Since when have you given a damn about what people think about you"
Ken about Rob "You know who he reminds me of? Mike Baldwin. And look at the chaos he caused"
Karl to Stella "Life without you would not be worth living" (and that's his whole motivation isn't it?)
Peter to Carla "If it were Christmas every day it would never be Christmas at all" (Yay, a Blanche quote apparently!)
Kylie "I hope you're not expecting me to put the thing together, I can't even do Lego!"
Karl "Why am I here feeling accused?" (Oh, you wonder why?)
Rob to Tracy "Your brother's a snake" Tracy "That runs in the family"
No awards for the next couple of weeks, I'm on me holidays!

The Frosty Awards:
Not Nike Ad award: The sight of hefty Eileen trying to run in those trainers down the platform of the station after Paul on the train was a sight to behold, Why do people always think they can be so obnoxious to rail staff employees?
Bad Penny award: Tiny Tiresome the fireman turning up again holdall in hand silly look on face, - big groan - just as we thought it was all over……………..
Not the way to get a bale out award: Stella and Boria barging into the Bistro in front of all the customers to ask for thousands of pounds investment. Oh and drag Karl along with you to snarl “c’mon Leanne” not 24 hours since he threatened her. That’s the way to do it!
Bitchy award: What was Sally doing in David/Gail’s house sitting there judging Kylie and stirring it anyway – with all the affairs she has had – more than a bit rich and more than a bit rude!
Health alert award: If Kylie’s blood pressure was up surely a massive salt packed bag of crisps was the last thing she should be eating??
Shop Fitters of the Year award: Again - planning, getting workmen, overhauling and decorating a whole betting shop plus installing brand new technology can be done overnight. Marvellous.
continuity error award: Peter said he had been running the bookies for 12 years. Really? He was missing for half of that time after his bigamist marriage surely?
It was lovely to hear Peter mention Blanche! Loved that line. Carla's idea of cooking was also very funny.
I actually liked Ken comparing Rob to Mike Baldwin. While I'm sure people have a lot to say about that, it is still very early days for Rob, so for Ken to make that comparison at this stage, makes me feel good about which direction the character could be going in.
Steve made me laugh too. He really is hilarious most of the time and him and Peter on Friday, both trying to lie to Carla (and failing miserably) about the bet, was just the icing on the cake. Loved that scene.
Peter was running a betting shop in Portsmouth as well while he was gone so yes, he could technically say he was running one for 12 years I suppose.
Mysteriously expanding restaurant...the Bistro...Leanne and Nick and the rest of the staff are run off their feet as they're always 'fully booked' yet can find two separate tables for 4..one for Rob and Tracy, the other for Peter and Carla, right next to each other..
Gloria..has enough dosh to go shopping every day of the week and hand 200$ to Eva as a 'gift' but can't help out her daughter? How are they paying the rent now or has Kevin just handed them the keys and walked away?
Sally and Gail..an aspiring pair of old douche bags..both have had affairs...Sally was whoring herself off to her boss for more $$ in order to send Rosie to Oakhill. Has Gail conveniently forgotten that David tried to kill her - pushing her down the stairs.
I'm taking this too seriously..really...thanks!!
Adore the line, ' He's like a human oil slick...' sums Rob up very nicely.
