Lines of the week:

• Gail to David "So you've finally realized after all these years i'm not such a bad mother after all" David "Don't milk it!"
  
• Ted "I came here lonely. I'm leaving with a family"
  
• Maria about Carla "I should be thanking her" (No i don't think you should)
  
• Harry "The last thing in my life i need right now is complication" (but i think you're going to get it)
  
• Steve to Liz about Vernon "Whatever his faults, no bloke deserves this"
  
• Roger "I'll turn the water off... after you've put the kettle on!" (as the leak fills up the teapot)
  
• Harry to Liz "I'm not out to cause trouble" (*snort*)

Carla is wasting no time buying off Rosie. She knows Rosie saw more than she's letting on. I wonder if she knows it was caught on camera. And Liam gave in to Maria's begging, probably against his better judgement but willing to give it one more try. That's probably a good thing, though, they're married, they should give it every chance they can. He's got to have his priorities straight and Carla wasn't very happy about it. In no uncertain terms. Boy didn't her usual mask and reserve crack and she gave him everything she had, accusing him of staying with Maria out of guilt and i agree.

As i thought, Ted has the measure of David but he's just absolutely delighted to have a new family, isn't he? I suppose after losing his husband, it must have given him a real reason to look forward to the rest of his life. Becky and Jason are back at it and it gives Roy another chance to come over all self righteous and judgemental. I laughed at Ken with the teapot under the leak!

I think Claire is working Sally to get a better deal on the house and Sally is determined to have that house. She certainly was scamming but she was embarassing Ashley and yes, it could have backfired. Sally got her own back, though. Little by little each of the women are chipping away at each other and the deal. Why would Sally even consider leaving the spice rack behind? Unless it's built in and then Claire doesn't have a choice whether she wants it or not. You just know one or the other is going to blow and after hearing Claire slag off her house, i think Sally will be the first eruption.

Definitely sparks between Liz and Harry. I think they actually make a nice looking couple but i wouldn't trust him as far as i could throw him and now his ex-to-be is on the scene, a fiesty red head called Clarissa. How on earth can Harry be held responsible for making sure his wife has transportation if she can't drive herself. Of course, when Deirdre and Eileen saw the pair of them on the street, they couldn't see Harry's face, just her smug one so naturally assumed they were flirting. They didn't waste any time but neither did he, honing in on Liz buying frozen meals for one in the shop. So she's lying to Steve to spend the evening with Harry. Deirdre assures Steve that Liz is trying to resist temptation. Yeah that's why she keeps skipping over there for meals and standing really close to him while she tells him they can only be friends. Sure. It looks very much like she really is tempted to go for a no-strings relationship and she can deny as much as she wants that she's only visiting "a friend". So to prove that she's not strongly tempted to stray what does she do? Have one of her wedding photos photoshopped (you know, Because Vernon had blood all over him) and framed.

Oh dear Molly wants to get rid of the stone cladding but it seems Vera isn't having any of it. God, is Paul *ever* going to leave? Sounds like he's thinking about skipping out before the trial and it can't be soon enough for me. He figures he just couldn't handle prison. I can understand that. The inmates would have him mopped up for breakfast. Michelle is back. I didn't know she'd gone away. Oh right, she took Alex to meet the family. That was quite a long visit, though wasn't it? What about school? Why is she all hissy at Leanne? Because of her involvement in her brother Paul's death? Seems to me Leanne was more the victim there. Paul was the one who went looking for a call girl and then kidnapped Leanne when he went off on one. I would have thought Leanne had more reason to dislike the connors rather than the other way around.
