That which
is on most people’s mind is, as Liz calls it ‘Crimbo limbo’ – and that we have
to have this time, and not race into the new year, in order for us to eat our
body weight in leftovers.
Nessa and
Ken are cycling but Nessa has had an accident. It is the valiant Audrey who
sets off to rescue them. Anyone would think that the cycling will come to an
end but Nessa says they will be buying a tandem.
The table
tennis competition is tonight and it’s Underworld against the O’Driscoll’s, who
have a factory in Knutsford, where Sally can see herself living. Mrs. O’Driscoll
is wearing a beautiful blue scarf – bought in Cheshire
– of course.
Carla tells
Sally that she must keep an eye on the main event which is the signing of the
contract. She tells Aidan too, who seems very involved in the table tennis.,
even though Carla considers it to be ‘macho nonsense.’
Johnny is
anxiously awaiting an email to tell him if he is or is not Carla’s father. He
is so anxious that Liz opens it for him to reveal that yes, he is Carla’s dad.
Of his younger self he says, ‘If I met him now, that idiot young lad I was, I’d
give him a crack across the head and just tell him to tell the truth right
then.’
We’ve all
wished we had or hadn’t done something – and this is so for Johnny who laments
the inability to place an old head on a pair of young shoulders. He feels a pressing
need now to tell Carla and insists that she come back to his flat. She does so
but is anxious about Roy with whom she is going to a chess event. Eventually,
Johnny tells Carla that he is her dad, but that she mustn’t mention this to
Aidan or Kate, which, as Carla points out, is keeping a secret from them.
Johnny reveals Rob’s bribery
Carla races
into The Rovers and Michelle goes into the backroom with her where Carla
reveals the truth. It strikes Carla that her husband Paul may be related to
her. Carla tells Michelle that Johnny has turned up ‘Like some backstreet Darth
Vader.’ Carla then goes to find Roy to apologise when Johnny turns up and Roy
hears that Johnny is Carla’s dad. Carla has 2 great friends in Michelle and
Roy.
Norris will
not reveal his password to the most trustworthy woman in British television. It
turns out that it is embarrassment which prevents him, Emily having noted it
down earlier. – maybe not so trustworthy then? It is RitaKabin. Still holding a
candle for Rita, Norris?
Spider is in Peru and he has fallen in love with
the children he is teaching there. This storyline will lead to Emily’s
temporary exit from the show. She is wearing very well though and in tonight’s
episodes. Regretting not having been more irresponsible in her past, will lead
her to wanting to go to see Geoffrey/Spider.
Rob tells
Tracy ‘You don’t really think that I would forgive you? It’s all been a lie –
there’s no appeal, no release, no us, no future, no nowt. You’ve been had.’
When Tracy
fully realises that all along Rob has been lying, she tells him in no uncertain
terms how she feels. ‘You pathetic, hideous, nasty piece of work.’ She could
just as easily be describing herself.
Tracy gets
her comeuppance from Rob and you have to admire his guile and skill. Much time
to kill helps him plot the perfect revenge and now Tracy is left high and dry. Hurtling
back to Robert, she does her best to convince him that it is him who she loves.
At one point it seemed as if Robert in the kitchen at the restaurant might just
take her back but it was a deliberate trick and he sent her packing, As Ken
said earlier when Robert was leaving the Barlow’s house, ‘Sometimes I don’t
know what I’ve done to deserve Tracy.’
