Corrie weekly update - Buzzer Bee and a Caesar Salad

Corrie weekly updates from 1995All the wit and warmth of WeatherfieldNone of the waffleAvailable from amazon.co.uk or amazon.com

Weatherfield County football team announce a new mascot called Buzzer the Bee. Tim applies for the job but it’s Kirk who gets picked. And when a reporter from the local paper comes to interview Kirk, she suggests he goes one further and stand against Sally for Mayor. Kirk? Mayor? It just might work!


In the cellar of the big house, Phelan keeps Andy tied up to the wall. Eileen comes calling to find out where Pat is, and what does Andy do, when he hears Eileen above? Does he call out and run? No, my friends, he does not. He stays put and quiet while we’re yelling at our tellies for him to scream and scarper.  Pat takes photos of Andy, telling him he’s going to get a passport to smuggle him out to France. But when the photos come spilling out of Phelan’s bag in the builder’s yard, Nicola wants to know who the strange, bearded man is. Phelan stuffs the photos back in his bag before Eileen can recognise the man that Nicola didn’t.  Andy’s arm gets infected and Phelan lies to the doc to get antibiotics for him, saying he’s got an infected gum.  Liz, still not used to working behind a counter instead of a bar, takes it upon herself to spread the gossip to Eileen that Phelan’s been into the medical centre and he’s ill and on pills.


Summer and Amy’s friendship continues its rocky way after Summer agrees to dye Amy’s hair – with bleach from Dev’s corner shop. It goes orange, and Amy is marched home by Tracy in a bad mood.  “My mum will kill me!” Amy rages when she sees the colour of her hair, to which Summer quickly replied: “With most teenagers, when they say, that they’re exaggerating but…”  Great stuff indeed from writer Joe Turner that made me chuckle a lot.

Meanwhile, on a night out for Rana and Kate, they meet Imogen who Kate lusts after. Rana’s fair put out and there’s more to her displeasure than just being a third wheel on a lesbian date.  She’s got feelings for Kate herself, but is keeping them to herself for now, although we all know, of course.

Over at the Bistro, Will plants drugs in the first aid box and calls the cops who arrive with their sniffer dog. Michelle chucks the tablets into the curry and the cops go away empty handed.  But Will’s got another plan to bring Robert down and make Michelle his own.  Michelle reckons that drug dealer Rich planted the drugs in the Bistro and storms off to his house to give him hell.  Will calls the cops again and tells them it’s all kicking off at Rich’s house where Robert is taken away for breach of the peace, or summat. To be honest, I’m done with this storyline, I hope they take Robert away and never bring him back. Michelle deserves better and Kym Marsh deserves a better storyline. From the drama and heartbreak of baby Ruari to this?  Come on, Corrie, give the girl a break, she’s worth so much more. Get her away from Robert and put a smile on her face.



And finally this week, concerned about Rita’s memory loss, Gemma makes her an appointment to see the doctor. Now, this upsets Rita even further because she can’t remember making the appointment. And although Gemma meant well, it backfires on her when Rita finds out that the appointment was made without her consent and she cancels. Rita tells Norris and Gemma that her memory loss is being caused as a side-effect of blood pressure tablets she’s just started to take, but there’s worse to come next week, I’m afraid when the truth is revealed.  And proving that she can still act her socks off (if proof were needed) Barbara Knox had me in tears this week when she admitted to Norris in The Kabin that yes, she was having ‘senior moments’.

And that’s just about that for this week.

1) Did Tim apply for mascot? I thought he sacrificed so as to help Sally with her run for mayor.
2) How did Phelan (Connor M) pull off that swelling in his cheek at the Medical Centre? He couldn't do a Godfather could he - with obvious padding - as the Doctor examined him.
