Sucking up award: David is allowed out of the doghouse. Front paws only.
Misogynist award: Owen. Entirely missed the whole feminist revolution.
One Out One In award: Michelle gets rid of Ryan and has her dad land on her doorstep.
Rock and Roll award: "Rock up" was used twice in the Friday episodes.
Pointless award: What was the point of that Phelan owing Owen storyline, really? It didn't even backfire on him, not yet anyway.
Fright Night award: Nick wasn't happy to see David, he was scared witless!Lines of the week:
Katy: "I will not be standing on my head. Not with the wages you pay".
Steve to Ryan on getting a better job: "I know what would happen if you did". Ryan: "Me mum would hate me less?". Steve: "No. You would hate YOU less". (indeed).
David: "Guilt's stupid. What's the point?". (David's mantra!)
Michelle: "I turn to Steve for many things but never, ever advice! Cause when it comes to words of wisdom he's a flipping mute!"
Audrey: "You know what these Wayfarers (buses) are like. You've more chance of seeing Brigadoon most nights".
Owen: "I'm gonna find him and tell him to his face what I think of him". (Oh yes. that will work).
Kylie: "She's all right, is Gail". Leanne: "Yeah. Once you get used to her".
Nick about Lily: "Not. His. Mine".
Deirdre: "As I always say...all roads lead to Rita".
Michelle: "Get off the cross will yer, Dad, we need the wood".
Gail: "This house is a web of lies"
Deirdre: "I'm like Shirley Valentine, me. I talk to the wall" (my favourite movie!).
Julie: "I make pants. It's hardly running Live Aid"

Strange text award: Why would Maria text Michelle about Liam being ill? Especially as they seem to have very little interaction together on T’Street.
ReplyDeleteIs that your real age? award: Julie is 36? I find that hard to believe. Doesn’t she bang on; if Brian is still leaving I think she should go too. I find her a crashing bore now.
Where is the kettle for a brew award: I have yet to see a builder’s yard where they don’t have their own tea/coffee making facilities but Owen who was supposed to be on his uppers sends dopy Katie out to Roy’s to get take outs when it would have been quicker to have gone home and made them.
Blurt it out award: Surely Nick would have more to lose than David when the big secret comes out. His marriage to Leanne for a start. Why then does he seem determined to let the cat out of the bag? It doesn’t make sense. Leanne’s fake smile and fawning around the hospital bed is becoming unintentionally funny now.
Jackass award: I presume Dreary was supposed to be being “comical” when Julie and Eileen wanted a private talk with Rita about adoption? She wasn’t, she was pathetic, rude and embarrassing. They seem to be turning her into another Gail, two middle aged female characters being idiotised.
Tie your hair back award: I am fed up with Anna flicking back her hanging lank locks when she serves food in the café. Not very hygienic at all. At least there was a mention of Eddie though although not in a complimentary way.
More chuckles award: The Writers. Hooray for sparkling dialogue. Apart from Deirdre who was way over the top in the pub (agree - don't make her a fool), there were some great one-liners.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Humpty Dumpty about Deirdre. Writer Jonathan Harvey is the worst offender when it comes to Deirdre- he consistently writes her OTT lines and has her behaving very out of character.
ReplyDeleteDoing a paternity test while in a coma award: Nick is now certain that he is the father, while, before the accident, it was just a possibility.
ReplyDeleteYes. Jonathan Harvey needs to remember its Coronation Street, not Gimme Gimme.
ReplyDeleteGive me the crazy glue..to shut Michelle up for a few hours. What a terrible character and gobby like there's no tomorrow. All she does is whine and moan and give Steve a hard time.
ReplyDeleteI guess now that Paul is gone, Eileen doesn't have any guy to push around so it might as well be Michelle and Steve. Yawn.
About Lily: not David's, not Nick's - - Kylie's.

Just agreeing with Humpty Dumpty. last week's episodes were some really good one liners. We had a few laugh out loud moments for sure. Kudos to the writer's. Too bad Phelan didn't kidnap Leanne or Gail...they wouldn't be missed here anyway.
ReplyDeleteThank you Humpty for mentioning about Anna's hair, it has always bugged me and I sure wouldn't eat any food she has served since she is always tucking it behind her ear, even in the cafe Louise in Canada
