Never mind last Monday's boxing, tonight's the big match; Connor vs Connor. Michelle is experimenting with egg white scrambled eggs and family get-togethers. She has set up a
Rana is still ill and Zeedan is still looking after her and Kate is still hanging around. You know, the best these crazy kids could do is form a polyamorous relationship. But this is Corrie, not Hollyoaks, and so Zeedan goes off to get a dishwasher from Cumbria (?) and Kate enters through, erm, the back door for flu-y smooches. Mr and Mrs Habeeb decide to surprise Rana who is indeed very surprised when Alya lets them into number six and another couple is rumbled. Alya rushes off to the new set of Speed Daal and attempts to let Zeedan in on the secret, but finds out that she was the only one who didn't know about Kana. She stomps out after telling her brother he's a hypocrite after the way he treated her when he found out she knew about Sharif's affair, and stomps into the pub where everyone finds out about what's been going in. Meanwhile, the Habeebs tell Rana they're done with her.
Toyah "admits" that she "misplaced" the £20 note that Simon nicked. This is a bit of a dangerous Simon Says game that Aunty Toyah is getting into. Toyah quits the pub for the afternoon to visit Eva to tell her that Simon knows. Eva points out that Simon would have screwed more than £20 out of Toyah if he knew the whole deal. Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to pretend that our step-sister's baby is our surrogate's.
Summer, having been carer for dying Drew, then carer for addict Billy is now carer for depressed Eileen. However, Ei manages to get it together enough to cook tea for her step-granddaughter.
Daniel has tracked down Flora, Vinny's mum. Since he indirectly caused Vinny's death, he now feels responsible for her reduced circumstances. Ken joins Sinead in the pub and they both tell Daniel not to get obsessive over it. This falls on deaf lugs as Daniel visits Eileen to tell her she needs to take some responsibility for the consequences of Phelan's actions, whether that be Flora in a nasty care-home or Anna still in prison. Free the Weatherfield one! Again!

Best part of tonight, Jenny's wonderfully sour face. The actress is great: she doesn't gurn or do OTT smirking. It's a subtle look *away* from the camera rather *into* the camera as some other actors do. Much more fun.
ReplyDeleteGood gracious, who would have sex with your secret lover in the middle of the day on the couch in the living room in the house where your extended family and any of their guests could see you? LOL! Yikes.
ReplyDeleteI hope Kate catches Rana’s cold, for continuity purposes. Who snogs someone when they’re that snotty and infectious‽ Laugh out loud scenes with Jenny Bradley though, brilliant. Much needed hilarity. She is a joy.
ReplyDeleteJeanie: Why do writers always talk about Simon falling under the bad influence of this person or that person? Maybe HE is the bad influence!
ReplyDeleteI actually feel sorry for Jenny this time.
ReplyDeleteJohnny postponing the move to Spain while Carla and Aidan were recovering from their surgeries made sense but to delay the move again because of Kate's messed up love life is ridiculous!
Kate is a big girl who can turn to Carla or Michelle if necessary.
I agree with Daniel as Eileen who did not heed Anna's warnings about Phelan should take some responsbility and help both Flora and Anna.
Shells: the answer is "so they can get caught", of course😀. And in most cases the sofa is so small that it would be quite a gymnastic feat to have sex on it. Also, why do sick people lie around on the sofa, constantly getting disturbed by family, flatmates and visitors? Why don't they just stay in bed?
ReplyDeleteFor God's sake, someone please smack Simple Simon in his stupid, smug face! (Not that I condone violence, but I will make an exception in his case!)
