Thank goodness they didn’t drag Norris’s ‘incarceration in a karsie’ (can’t find a definitive spelling!), out for too long. Mary was worried sick: “He’s been taken,” she wailed desperately. Roy tried to reassure her in typical Cropper-ish style: “I think it’s statistically unlikely that Norris has been taken by terrorists.” Roy, Hayley and Becky gave moving performances […]
After a ‘lie-in’ Peter started the week by closing the Bookies to take Leanne to lunch. Glad business is so good, and nice to see how much you care about your customers mate. If I was one of his ‘Peter’s Punters’ I’d be straight off to lose my money somewhere else, thank you very much. […]
Becky had a few little words with baby Hope-less. “No home to call us own. No idea what the future holds.” No, nor me. She was swapping hard luck stories with Nick too. Huh, I can top that! Becky: “Freshco’s are looking for keen, reliable individuals with excellent people skills.” Gail: “Do you know any?” […]
Did you get to see the cacti this week (for there were two), in Gary and Izzy’s flat? They were in it quite a lot, and it helped take my mind off the action. What action though. “Didn’t they do well?” as Bruce Forsyth would have no-doubt said. I cried my eyes out at the […]
I came 3rd in the Daz ‘Soap Blogger of the Year 2011’ awards this week. As I’ve only been Soap-blogging for 6 months, I’m very chuffed! If Audrey can still be pulling fellas at 70 it makes me feel a bit more hopeful, and there’s a real plus side to this relationship: she not only gets a […]
What a good week that was; back to lots of ‘normal’ things going on, and with a perfect balance of drama and humour. One drama was in the Webster household. Poor Sophie had only been trying to do a good deed. In theory she could have got that money back before Kevin noticed, but didn’t […]
As I’m watching TV for my blog I scribble notes down in a little book. As I’ve come to write this post I see that I’d written that Fiz was ‘Digging her own grave.’ That probably wasn’t the best metaphor, considering! They’ve hardly got any real grounds for charging her though, have they? It’s all […]
(You’ve got a bumper edition this week; I got a bit carried-away!) It’s been a while since we had a good old punch-up in the Rovers, but this was a stonker. Skin and hair flying everywhere, and it was perfect (but predictable!), timing, seeing the chair smash through the window just as Steve got out […]
There’s been a bit of a lack of gags on all the soaps over the last week for some reason. Probably just a coincidence, but let’s hope this week brings us a few more chuckles. Most of my laughs this week have come from the Sylvia/Roy/Hayley/Becky scenes. Sylvia had Grandchildren on her mind, but Roy […]
Crikey, did you see Rita’s hair on Monday? It was stuck up like she’d had a fright. She wasn’t another one who’d been looking out of her window and seen Dev’s towel drop, was she? A feast of fun this week, with some great comedy banter. I hardly know where to start, so will start […]
