Friday 5th April
SMOKE GETS IN CHESNEY’S EYES Chesney hurtles down the stairs to find the washing machine flooding the kitchen and an oblivious Gemma preoccupied with her headphones on. A mortified Gemma promises to buy him a replacement. In the hope of finding a cheap deal, Gemma and Paul head to Hong Kong Stuey and return home with a number of boxes, much to the curiosity of Rita. As Chesney returns home, he’s horrified to hear blaring music and see smoke billowing from under the front door. With Tyrone’s help he breaks the door down to find Gemma and Paul dancing in the living room with a new sound system, a smoke machine and Rita watching in amusement on the couch. Chesney is furious at Gemma for wasting money, and admits to Tyrone that having Gemma in the house is like having another toddler and he is unsure if they have a future.

When Nick calls a factory meeting to speak about the future he is interrupted by Carla who is armed with a proposition which might save their jobs.

Will the service be the mark of respect Kate is hoping for? eoff his empty planter, Geoff offers Brian some gardening advice and suggests he talks to his plants.

The community centre as a factory? It’s the size of a matchbox!
ReplyDeleteBy that picture I had hoped another roof was falling in on Gemma. Wishful thinking
ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong with Rita?
ReplyDeleteShe seems to condone Gemma's inrresponible behaviour.
Poor Chesney!He should dump Gemma now!
It really is hard work watching Corrie. So many bland, irritating characters on show tonight. Where are the salt of the earth folk? And plenty of innuendoes that don't sit well for family viewing.
ReplyDeleteGoing through the motions watching Carla getting blamed and don't care about the villain's identity. Gemma, less said the better.
Looks like I will be clearing up my evenings and the only Corrie fix I'll get is on ITV3. Sad but I don't have the patience to watch Iain MacLeod and ITV destroy a great show.
Friday observations. No customers at the barbers, and David’s horrible white bread sandwich kept expanding and contracting. Who is Brian kidding, sowing broad beans in mourner’s corner gardens? Every week there’s some low life lurking, ready to do mischief. Nick Tilley as an entrepreur? Beyond a joke.. As is Tyrone trying to break down a door on the hinge side! Love the hair transplant banter when the real life David & Tyrone have both had them. But Chesney, who still looks 14, with his top off...that’s a sorry sight.
