Corrie Comicals week ending 18 May 2018

Monday night got off to a good start early on with Adam making it clear that he was not keen on sharing the flat with Flora who responded by saying "Oh I don't know, I think he is lovely" referring of course to Daniel and then telling Adam that he reminds her of her Harvey!  She further entertained us by constantly referring to Daniel's girlfriend as Chanelle whom she then accuses of trying to poison her with water from the tap!

Daniel drinks the water and then starts choking - certainly managing to alarm "Chanelle" before admitting he is having her on!

Whilst waiting for court (without Emma and her court shoes) Gail is worrying about the prison feeding David - she observes he is only slight and it "does not take long for his athletic frame to tip over into scrawny."

Beth thinks Sinead (or Chanelle) is exaggerating about how evil Flora is - after all she looks like a sweet old lady to Beth.  Later in the episode Flora makes it clear to Sinead that she knows about her flip flopping between Ches and Daniel and pushes the heating control up to the max - I am with Sinead!

OK it might not make you laugh - but I always like a good slap.  Zeedan and Alya have high and mighty religious principles about not sleeping with anyone before marriage, so when Zeedan suggested that Alya might have replaced Luke in her bed a little on the speedy side and was therefore implying she was a bit of a slapper she gave him a good slapping!  As we can see above!

Kate has just told this rough looking specimen that his table is missing him.  He does not get it - too subtle by far!

Sadly the best bit of the week is difficult to portray.  There was a group hug in StreetCars - Eileen, Steve and Tim which ended with Steve and Tim playfully gently swatting each other in an obviously carefully put together routine.  Worth watching for that alone.

I probably will not be here next week, but hope to be back in two weeks' time.

Corrie Comicals week ending 11 May 2018

Given the nature of the key stories this week I know I shall struggle for some lighter moments and my first choice perhaps lacks great humour - but is intended to remind us of the warmer aspects of the Street as Rita, at the Connors' farewell party, appropriately praises Jenny's strengths and how much she will miss her - except that Rita will stow away in her luggage and will be living next door in Marbella - which brings a laugh for everyone.

And Kirk's doggy doings missed out last week - but he is at it again under selling himself, this time to Ken - round here a dog walk is more like £10, not £3 or even £5.  Someone tell Beth please!

Obviously Wednesday was dominated by the overnight event and the way the news spread around the cobbles but before it reached the Platt household Emma was centre of attention as she proudly announced that she could go to court as she is wearing "court" shoes!  Credit to Jonathan Harvey for this and also for Gail's discourse later in the episode over a montage of scenes as the news rippled outwards to the residents - the factory being told by Alya (comforted by Josh & Yasmeen), Billy telling Summer at her school, Daniel to Adam, Maria with little Liam, Sally returning home to tell Sophie plus Michelle finding Robert waiting for her in Birmingham.

Adversity often brings reconciliation.  And we all knew that Michelle and Carla would make up before long - they just needed a good reason - and these postings exist to celebrate the good in Corrie so I thought I would record the moment, captured just after Michelle tells Carla she loves her and before Carla can respond with "I love you, too".

Given the shortage of material this week I thought I would include this little exchange with 'Chelle asking Carla if she had eaten and threatening to tell Roy when Carla responds that she has and 'Chelle knows otherwise!

However the week was eventually saved by Flora who not only poured cold water all over Adam's plans for a cosy afternoon with a mystery blonde but also accused the luckless lady of stealing her shoes!  Flora later reveals she was a hippy with joss sticks, head bands, tie-dye t-shirt and free love!  I also got the feeling that she was trying to remember watching "Breaking Bad"!  Meanwhile she gets back to knitting a scarf for Harvey's constantly bad throat.

And was it just sexual frustration or annoying uncle syndrome that led to this outburst where he points out that Daniel keeps having huge ideas but sees nothing through to completion!

Edited out this week was the curious behaviour of Kayla who has a "mother" with the exactly same OCD traits as Craig - sorry that is a coincidence too far.  And I was very disappointed in Johnny and his appalling treatment of poor Jenny ... she is trying to help and all he does is push her away.  She loves you Johnny!  And if anyone knows why is it nice to go to Formby?
