- Sean "I can keep my gob shut when i have to" (really?)
- Paul "I can pretty much work with anything" (and work anything and anyone)
- Sean "Why does everyone have me down as a man-slut?"
- Cilla to Jodi "you don't get a figure like this by eating dross like that!"
- Pat "It gets lonely on the road" "The others mean nothing to me"
- Violet to Jamie "The only baby that's causing any trouble around here is you" (and she's right)
Today's the day. Once Violet chokes down the healthy breakfast Sean is making for her, it's time to pee on a stick. She's scared to find out if she's pregnant i think, and scared of the disappointment if she isn't. How come Jamie's so nice to her and worried about her all of a sudden, too? She burst into tears over the stick. Is she or isn't she? Coming out of the health clinic was a clue. She is! And she's already pushing Sean away. Well after she had the ectopic pregnancy, no wonder she's scared. Sean wittering on about pregnancy isn't helping her nerves. Aww well at least the scan shows everything is ok. She's making him wait 12 weeks. You *know* he's not going to last five minutes. And he didn't. He was happier than if he'd met the love of his life in a bar and blurted it out to Jamie.
But it's a secret, so when Violet came by at the opportune moment, he let Jamie figured it out for himself. That way he can't say he told him. Now Jamie is jealous and it looks like he's still got feelings for Violet after all. Looks like that undying love for Frankie really was just a moment of madness and well forgotten. Sean *is* selfish, let's face it. This is going to be a very long pregnancy for poor Vi. She thinks she's doing the right thing having the baby on her own but Sean's excitement and need to be a father is going to run her ragged.
Blanche is on a mission to find out who is smoking in the Rovers toilets. Laughed at Kevin pointing out that Deirdre smokes 50 a day. How much you want to bet it's Liz having a crafty fag? Yep, it was her, hiding it from Vernon. As if he couldn't smell it on her. Blanche busted her anyway. Liz is good at breaking her promises. I think she didn't try the patch before because she really didn't want to quit. I'm not sure she does now. Telling Steve about her affair to prove what a good man Vernon is as compared to Jim, was that more information than a son really needs to know? Now he's moaning about Michelle. Yet again. He thinks Michelle is bored around him. I don't know what it is but they just annoy me, especially her giving him constant mixed signals.
Sally's kids don't really understand why she wants to do schoolwork. It seems like Sally might have bitten off more than she can chew. Sophie should be well chuffed that her mother has a Jane Austen book. It wasn't so long ago she was running around quoting Austen herself. Sally puts on to the other workers that her books are very interesting but i don't think she's got a sweet clue. Janice comes across as jealous and threatened by Sally trying to better herself and Even Roger can see that. Fiz ought to understand, though, she used to want more out of life, too and still does. Hmm. So Fiz's John is going to be Sally's tutor for a fee. Poor John. I think it's going to be an uphill battle but maybe she's picked books that are a bit much for a beginner, too.
For all the new cook was appalled that Leanne served microwave meals on his first day, he was sure quick to decide it was a lot less work and suggested it the next day as well. Paul was critical of Leanne when he visited and then turned around and applied for the job of cook. No question that he wouldn't be hired though. At least she'll have a proper cook, though. If he's any good, the restaurant will make money. Sounds like Paul left his most recent job under a shadow. He got off with the boss's wife, so he says. Sounds like he is indeed a chip off the old Terry block. And I think he and Leanne are a lot alike. (I love pasta carbonara too!) I'm sure Paul has all the patter for the suppliers. He even has his own white cook's whites. Did he bring it with him? Roger's invested everything and now he can't work because he's got a bum shoulder. Things are looking dire for Roger.
Ashley apologizes all over Casey's phone and it'll never happen again and then he asks her if she wants to meet up. Uh. Yeah. He can resist anything except temptation. And what does he do? Bring flowers but all he came for was to tell her about Josh being ill the day before. Most men on Corrie *never* do that unless they feel guilty about something. I think Casey's attitude is only winding Ashley up even more and he's losing more and more patience with Claire. What he needs to do is get her to a doctor to get some help with her anxiety because she's doing a really good job of avoiding the problem by staying away. When Ashley said Claire was coming home tomorrow, you could see the wheels turning in Casey's head and she was determined to make it not happen smoothly. Claire is very very good at saying things that put doubts in Ashley's and Claire's mind and pulling them away from each other.
Claire's really broken inside and Ashley, while sympathetic, doesn't seem to *really* get it. Someone tried to kill Claire and Ashley is being very thick about it. Casey found a great excuse for Claire to be out of the house and zeroed in on Ashley. I'm not excusing Ashley finding comfort in Casey's arms, there's still no excuse for that, but you *could* see it coming a mile away. She played on his insecurities and he jumped at the chance. Gotta say, though, the actress, Zoe Henry, is really really good. Good God, though. They nearly did it *out in the glass walled conservatory*!!!! How stupid is that for taking the chance of getting caught and they nearly did, by Claire!! They might not actually have gone all the way but you know it's only a matter of time, no matter how horrified Ashley is at his behaviour.
I laughed at Cilla calling Jodi fat! Pots and kettles? She's on a campaign now to give the kebab shop a bad reputation. Happy Birthday, Chesney! All he got for pressies were for the dog who's now gone missing. I'm guessed it was Cilla left the gate open because she lost her job and figured she can't afford to feed a horse the size of a dog. But it was Jodi thinking she was getting her own back on Cilla, not realizing (duh) that it was the lad's dog. Cilla wasn't too pleased to see the dog back either.
Eileen spent a whole weekend with Pat and Jason makes some really good points about her seeing a married man by asking her what she'd say if it was him seeing a married woman. Eileen makes very good points throwing the pot/kettle thing at Lloyd and STeve, too. But does she really believe that Pat and his wife aren't sleeping together? That's one of the biggest lies that most cheating husbands tell their other women. Maybe he's not but he's certainly got more than one other woman on the go. Sweetie, if he runs with you, he'll also run on you. Turns out he's not even married. Just didn't want anyone to get any ideas about committment so he could cut a swathe through all the women he met. I guess Pat is well and truly dumped this time, with a wonderful thump to the face!! Go Eileen! I love the friendship between Steve and Eileen. Steve only just got back off holiday and he's away again, to Malta, with Eileen on a mates' holiday.
We're back to non-curly Freddy baby. Oh i'm sick and tired of Gail haranguing the Mortons about their music. The Mortons are being unreasonable, i'm saying. Poor Gail was abit out numbered but she stood, or sat, her ground. Compromise, they'll be better about the sound level if she lays off about the shed. How's Hayley, Claire asks. *Where's* Hayley, I ask. Kirk and Tyrone giggling about seeing a woman breast feeding and Kirk wonders why Fiz prefers John? Claire likes books by Marian Keyes. So do i! Becky thinks Tyrone has a crush on her. He might. Just a tad. Everyone likes to be flattered.
