‘Let’s face it mate, you’re a
mess,’ says Lloyd, probably trying to shock some sense into his friend. Steve even grabs hold of
Lloyd just to confirm he doesn’t give a damn about him. ‘Back off! Stay away
from me or I’ll knock your flamin’ head off!’
Then, very shortly afterwards,
Steve is extending an invitation to almost half the street for Christmas
dinner. And why not? His mother has called him Eeyore and told him not to let
his argument with Lloyd fester. He won’t be the one cooking it - that will most
likely be Liz, who has never cooked a goose. Well, she’s not on her own there!
Maybe it’s as easy as Eileen suggests in that you stick an apple up the goose’s
bottom. Anyway, whatever is done to the poor goose, Christmas dinner should be
eventful, especially now Tony and Tracy have slept together. Tony is clearly a
little on edge. He asks Tracy not to snitch, but you can’t help but feel that
Tracy has the upper hand and wont be afraid to use Tony’s betrayal of Liz to
her own advantage.Todd is also in the know, to
an extent, in that Tony denied having seen Tracy today, but Todd knows full
well that he has seen Tracy.
Gary is under fire by all the
Armstrongs. Gary has no work, no money and can’t afford to buy Jake a Christmas
present. For some reason Katy thinks it is her place to tell Gary what he
should do and how she would sell something to get her child a present. Katy
gets her comeuppance rather swiftly as she is moaning to her dad Owen about how
Alya ‘was all over’ Gary and then she started to criticize her generally. But,
there behind her are both Alya and Kal. In the circumstances Kal is calm and
asks for loyalty. Kal behaves very differently towards Gary and tells him that
he cannot speak to Alya, that he doesn’t even like him looking at her, and that
he is to walk on the other side of the street from her. Unbelievable!
Owen has his turn in the
general theme of let’s attack Gary. He asks, ‘What are you for – seriously?’
Then answers his own question, ‘A waste of space.’
Well, Gary is not a waste of
space, certainly not to Roy, as he sees off the yobs tormenting Roy. It seems
Jake must be wrapped in cotton wool. Shock horror! Jake is wearing a
plaster. Izzy is surely over reacting
here.
At the Bistro Steph has
decided that Gavin is to work with her. Is it just help she wants in her work
or does she rather like him? I think Steph is a terrific character and I hope
she gets a meaty storyline soon, though not necessarily with Gavin as there is
a question mark hanging over him. Who exactly is he?
Not the most spontaneous hug,
but eventually Roy did use both arms eventually to respond to Carla’s request
for a hug. Carla mischievously suggests that they perhaps ought to shack up
with each other.
‘My mother bought toys for
the son she wished she’d had,’ said Roy. Carla misses Rob and is haunted by the
idea of him in prison.
Sally must get rid of the
deckchairs before Christmas. Tim has the job of finding a sofa. Sally fancies
making her own centerpiece, involving all manner of ingredients. That, I would
like to see.
As for Callum's appearance in the Rovers and Liz's turning on the charm and wishing she was 10 (!) years younger....hmmm. Callum is almost a pantomime villain.

Dear Corrie, thanks for making me cry again with yet another wonderful Roy and Carla scene
He is a dreamy one that Callum.
Kinda reminds me of a young Daniel Day Lewis. I am whatever age he is.
Damn he's a fine specimen, that Callum. Makes my loins quiver.
Kal's determination to keep Alya and Gary apart is ridiculous and hypocritical. They've been moving their relationship very slowly -- just hanging out, talking, the occasional kiss. It's not as though they've been shagging on the sidewalk or talking about moving in together. My fella and I tend to shout at the screen a lot during those scenes.
Kal is a Muslim father in case you hadnt been watching, but it would have been more credible if he werent carrying on with Leanne Battersby which just makes a mockery - they dont even have any chemistry but shows the writers obsession with pairing everyone up whether they gel or not. Why is the type so large??
I agree with Frosty. Any parent would go ballistic to see their educated daughter with endless potential pairing up with the biggest loser on the street. An ex in a wheelchair that he dumps, a child that he just had to have no matter what that he dumps when ever he feels like it, anger issues galore, almost kills a man and destroys his entire extended family financially, ruins his mother in the process and now unemployed steals from a neighbor. Oh yeah, that Gary is THE catch on the street.
Back to Callum. Bad boy supremo!
and oh so pretty.
Leave Frosty alone. Frosty, you do not make this blog unpleasant, it's people like anon above that do that.
Everyone's entitled to their "Opinion" so play nice. It's only a blog and it's Christmas.
Merry Christmas Frosty! xo
First who is this Anon because I can't see them. Unless like a number of other comments criticizing Frosty that have gotten mysteriously removed.
Second yes he does.
