Sunday 27 May 2007

And the rest for a Sunday....

Lines of the week:

  • Liz about Michelle "If he's (Michelle's son, Ryan) 14, how old does that make her when she had him?" (oh, probably older than the 17 year old Liz McDonald who gave birth to twins!)
  • Betty to Waste of Space "I don't know what you're ready for but it's nothing I'd be interested in"
  • Kirk "I'm bright enough to know i'm stupid"
  • Jason "You owe me 30 quid" Charlie "the price has gone up since the last time i puked in a taxi"
  • Vernon "If the snare doesn't work, bang the tom!" (urgh)
  • Liam into the phone "I'm on me way" Violet (i think) "better not be your wife" Liam "worse than that, it's me mam"
  • Frankie "this is my natural colour... more or less"

Oh i missed something. When did Liz move into the Rovers? I thought Bev would have been made manager when Shelley left but Bev hasn't even been seen lately. Does she still live in the pub? She's not moved in with the Peacocks so she must be.

If Charlie keeps this up, Maria will be locked in the bedroom contemplating plastic surgery before long. What i hate is that we're going through another round of Charlie using and manipulating a vulnerable female. What i like is that when Tracy finds out he's been having it off with Maria, so soon after she thought he had it off with Shelley (well he did, but she believed Shelley's bathroom "confession" to Bev that she didn't), Charlie's *really* going to pay! Easy for Charlie to have the key to Maria's new locks when he fitted them.

Fiz's discontent with her life and relationship didn't last too long did it? Fiz really does have so much potential. It's not that Kirk is holding her back, though. I think she's just in a safe place and Kirk is part of that, and she's not ready yet to take any risks. I don't know why she was that betrayed by Kirk's poem turning out to be an old love song (man does that bring back memories, too!) because it was still really sweet even if he didn't write it.

Vernon didn't take too long to make his move on Michelle even after she categorically told him, no ding dong, buddy! Liz of course believes her gormless boyfriend at first and sacks Michelle. I think Michelle probably would have cause to take Liz to a tribunal for that. Brilliant set up with Sean and Betty though. Not surprised Liz would leap to the conclusion that Michelle would try it on with Vernon though why any sane woman would, i don't know. Liz only went for him because, well, she's Liz. Vernon is right, he's never touched Michelle, only because she wouldn't have anything to do with him. At least Liz saw the light and chucked him out, drumkit and all. You know what really *really* irritates me about Vernon? That wide eyed "I'm innocent" look all the time and spouting all those tired cliches. I gotta admit, though, that was one of the best "clothes and stuff chucking out of the window" scene i've seen in a long time! The drum kit just made it *so* worthwhile! I wonder If anyone actually does that in real life?

What would Jack do without Tyrone to remember his anniversary or Vera's birthday? Steve clearly fancies Michelle. Not sure whether she's interested in him or not. Sometimes she seems to be and sometimes not. But after overhearing half of Steve's protestations that she's Just A Client, Steve hasn't got a chance, in spite of him breaking down and admitting to Liz that he does like her.

Poor Ashley isn't going to have much of his head left if Claire keeps biting it off. Ashley needs to get smacked with a clue bat, though, because it's awfully suspicious that Claire won't allow any contact whatsoever with her ailing mother. I'm surprised Ashley hasn't even tried to ring. But he's just typically naive and believes the best of everyone (come to think of it, he's an awful lot like the male version of Happy Hayley isn't he!) Aw Joshua is starting school! Isn't he growing up!

We discover that Michelle's husband and father of the lad died 5 years ago and we meet Liam Connor (Darts expert), Michelle's brother. Frankie seems rather pleased to meet him, anyway. Cue jealous Danny. Looks like Danny set a few traps and challenges for Adam. Now we find out that Michelle's other brother is in the rag trade too. You get the feeling that the Connor brothers are going to take Adam for a ride, so to speak? Are we going to suffer through more weeks and months of Gail railing at David to go to school? Chesney tries to help by selling something on ebay and all Les and Cilla do is drink the money in the pub! Grrrr... You just can't help some people! Cilla now figures she can sell off all the tat in the house. The sad thing is, there will probably be people that will want it!

So Sunita is seeing someone else, and has been for three months. That didn't take her very long after she left Dev, did it! Can you say "rebound"? Bloody Norris. You know i think he's *worse* than Mavis ever was and that's pretty bad, for wittering over nonsense like a free pen. If Rita wins that weekend in Budapest, there will be no living with him if he doesn't get to go. Actually, BudaPEST is a good place for him, don't you think? ;) Not surprised that former stationary man Norris idolizes the man that invented the Biro (ball point pen to those of us over this side of the pond)

Liz asked if the pub band didn't sing the birdie song. The only one i'm familiar with is completely instrumental! But perhaps there's a different version in the UK? You gotta love Jack and Vera. You just gotta! Yay lots of Betty this week! Steve's hair is getting long, what there is of it. Must soon be time for him to get another buzz cut. Frankie seems to be blonder and has bangs (fringe). Debra Stevenson is looking more like her nasty character on Bad Girls! Now do we think that Bev Callard (Liz) has had a little work done around the eyes, or botox, or is it just all that slap and eyeliner that gives her that "hair too tight" look. She's always had fabulous cheekbones but she's starting to have that tight look around her eyes. I'm really getting tired of characters making cracks at Hayley's expense. I suppose it's realistic, especially with characters like the odious Les and equally odious David but i've heard it from others on occasion, too, like Steve who should know better.
