Mr. Doubtfire award: David was doing the ironing
Foot in mouth: Beth talking about Hayley's sewing machine and her not coming back. And she was gobby to Julie who's suffering, post-breakup. Not quite the most tactful, is she?
Pants on Fire: Peter lied about meeting the client but Carla caught him squarely in the lie. So his solution? Pile on another one about being tempted to drink.
Subtle award: Steve dancing on air thinking Michelle might be pregger.
Hypocrite award: Michelle. She's the one that doesn't want a baby. Why shouldn't she be the one to have herself sorted?
Tit for Tat award (pun intended). Steve decided if Michelle can ban him from nookie, he can ban her, too.
Ooh er Missus award: Sean does love a foreign tongue.
Just my type, then, award: Eileen described Tony as a lying, cheating, ratbag. Just Liz's sort of fella, I believe.
Fashion Ooh: I loved Beth's feather earrings!
I need new pants award: Carla figures there must be a bloke behind Tina's exit. She's sitting right beside him and didn't Peter squirm!
Job search Fail award: Beth has been looking for work in a bar. Liz just lost a barmaid. Um, why wouldn't Beth have made a beeline for the Rovers today?
Lines of the week:
Beth about Hayley's machine "If you had your way, we'd have it cordoned off and all have to cross ourselves when we pass it!" (snork)
Andrea about Liz "She's funny your mum. I hope I'm as sprightly at her age" (and Liz had that coming)
Liz "Blokes and ultimatums never mix"
Andrea "Snip of the tongue!" Steve "I hate you allllll!!!!!"
Tina "So you're saing it's over" Peter "Honestly? It never even began" (first true thing he's said)
Audrey to Gail "You have been known to occasionally over season"
Steve "It's vasecto-me, not vasecto-you"
Julie "Fractured ribs heal. Can broken hearts truly mend?"
Audrey "Who does she think she is? Lady GoGo" Maria "Ga Ga" Audrey "You're not kidding"
Lloyd "So basically, you're both refusing to have nookie with each other. You might as well be married!"
Roy "I was wondering when sarcasm might rear its ugly head"
Michelle "You know as much about the Cold War as a bag of chips..." Steve: "I think you'll find that's the cod war"

Supermarket award award: All the large supermarket names in England sell strawberries year round. No need to go to some little shop and make a fuss. And it is also the law that food after the sell by date cannot be sold. Thought the business with Roy in the shop rather silly especially when he fell over and couldn’t see the point of it.
ReplyDeleteLong road to Birmingham award: As above, kind of Kirky but I am sure Freschos would have strawberries. They are hardly a delicacy these days.
Good riddance award: So glad to see the back of Tina and get a rest from this tiresome and just not credible affair which was basically a one night stand’ with Peter Barlow. But unfortunately as the actress is not leaving for some time, this is not the last we have seen of her. Frosty would lay money on in true soap style that she comes back pregnant – ho hum.
Pass the parcel award: Looks like Liz is going to have a fling with You Can See He is a Bad’un – Eileen’s ex – the usual sexual merry go round. Mind you that would be more believable than Kal.
Barmaid of the century award: Michelle who when she is not standing behind the bar with her arms folded, she is slouched over the pumps with her normal sucking a lemon face. Who would want to drink in a pub like that?
Big boy award: Simon looks so grown up now. He looks more like Jason’s son though than Peter’s.
Annoying award: Julie – now Brian has gone she is just silly and pointless and frankly boring
I agree...Julie is back to square one. Might as well have let her go too.
ReplyDeleteSimon...what happened to the bully story - haven't seen Faith since (not that I am complaining)...he is being portrayed as cheeky? Call it downright rude and obnoxious.
Think the idea of the strawberries was that Fiz and Tyrone had originally bought Spanish strawberries in a delicatessan and those were the ones Hayley liked so those were the ones Roy had to have. Supermarket berries usually aren't that great off season when they aren't grown locally.
ReplyDeleteI also wonder about the fate of bully Grace. No repercussions, no Faye moaning about how nobody will be her friend as she feared, or the opposite that everyone at school thinks Faye is great for standing up to the bully. Just. Nothing.
I don't think Julie is pointless -- she's ahem, quirky -- but sweet. I think she would make a good match with Roy.
ReplyDeleteLoved the bit where michelle was describing Steve as a pig,turkey,table no wonder he got mixed up
ReplyDeleteEnough Already: Time to end the agony that is a couple called Steve and Michelle. Pointless relationship, endless bickering, no redeeming value. Say bye bye. (Oh, and luv, you're not married. Remember how happy he was when Becky and Tracy were expecting? He's great with Amy and wants another kid. Get yourself done if you are sure.)
ReplyDeleteNot Again: Simon, for having lost yet another parental figure. He isn't 12, but has lost his mom, Granny Blanche, Peter (nearly twice, then got passed over for Carla), Leanne (from time to time) and now Tina. This smart kid is going to go psycho if he doesn't get some stability. A job with Roy maybe? Delivering papers?
How do we solve a problem like Julie: if Faye can get over being bullied offscreen, Julie can moan about Brian there as well. Maybe together, they could be pals. I disagree about Roy, tho', corrierules, she's much too blustery to be a match for him.
How old is Simon anyway? Why are they writing lines for him as if he were a 5 year old? 'Everybody leaves me'..ugh.
ReplyDeleteI don't see the point in having a knocked up Tina when she's going to be knocked off in May. Unless they keep her on life support to save child...
