Sunday Corrie Comments, January 23

Off we go for another week of Sunday comments. Don't forget to check the Bluenose Corrie Blog tomorrow for Lines of the week and weekly awards!

David's methods might be misguided but his heart's in the right place. I wonder where Nick's is. And could David bring Gail a few more clothes? She's been wearing that black turtleneck top since she was locked up!

We all know where Kirk's heart is, and it's not in the same place his brain is. Imagine fibbing on the online dating sites and saying you're a millionaire race car driver, turning up for your date and seeing Kirk! John got busted big time and got a dressing down for his troubles. Feel sorry for him? Nah not me. And he can sulk like nobody's business!

I think Jason's heart was in the right place, and i think though Tina is hurting, his idea to propose and give her something to look forward to was very nice. An April wedding might have been a bit too much pressure though as it's actually near the end of March when this first aired. And clearly Tina thought so too and she chucked him for being insensitive. Overreact much? Under normal circumstances, they'd row, make up and set a more reasonable date but she's not reasonable lately, and clearly having problems coping. And, also clearly, she's not thinking logically or she'd never have told Jason about the kiss with Nick. She doesn't fancy Nick but i don't think she knows what she wants. I guess she figured it was the only way to make Jason leave.

I don't mind saying i rather enjoyed Jason thumping Nick. He's such a slimy git! and even then, Nick just heaped scorn on Jason and waved the red rag at him a bit more just to wind him up some more. Poor Jason, really though he had no business thumping Nick seeing as Tina had dumped him anyway. He was just taking it out on Nick. And then to complete the set, he took the opportunity to get David in a twist and got his other eye blackened. What's wrong with him? And look, another week goes by without him visiting Gail.

Poor Jason is really cut up. And hungover. Probably shouldn't have been working in that state and ended up tumbling to the bottom of the stairs! OUCH! knocked recent events right out of his brain, too! All that denial, i guess. Roy was more hinderance than help what with squashing Jason's arm and bumping his head again!

Laughed at Claire and Eileen being *very* interested in Becky's gossip about Steve's ailing libido while Claire is fantasizing about her own "wild" lovelife with Ashley. It boggles the mind and it doesn't bear thinking about! Steve isn't happy about the women sharing but um.. that's what we do innit? Aw bless, they got their mojo back though, much to Ciaran's chagrin, walking in on them in fancy dress! Aw but Looks like Steve and Becky are in for another bitter disappointment. Becky lost another baby and didn't know she was pregnant yet. So what next? Looks like there's going to be some trouble doing the pregnant thing. Poor Becky is going to go off the rails and she's scared she won't be able to keep Steve if she can't give him babies. She was worried that he'd not want her and remembered that he and Karen had fertility problems too. IT wasn't really. Karen had a miscarraige but the reason they split up was that Karen was a nutter. Maybe all this isn't as hard on Steve but it's still a crushing disappointment to him. At least he can talk to his mum. No sense making Becky feel even worse!

Hmmm Rita's seen Lewis' ad in a ladies' magazine. Rita was told Lewis was an escort and putting 2 and 2 together, why not book him herself? Audrey isn't going to like that but come on, isn't Lewis fair game? He's a man for hire, after all. Funny Rita didn't tell Audrey, though. And it looks like Lewis is getting free theatre tickets and charging his customers for them, then gave Audrey the program Rita had bought and probably charged her for that too. Scam, much? This doesn't bode well.

Dev is having a difficult time learning how to share! and Graeme saved the day with his ladders, getting Aadi off the balcony. He got gourmet crisps and brandy (which he chugged!) for his efforts and scolded Dev in the process lol! And Dev's idea of moving to a new house is to find a very expensive one just as far out of Weatherfield as t'other one but Sunita wants to live local and oh looky, Maria wants to sell her house. Coincidence? I can't imagine wanting to give up a big posh house with a back yard for the kids to play in for a pokey 100 year old terrace house even if it does have a loft with a skylight! Did you see the smoke wafting out from Kirk's burned bread! I think Sunita should point out that after they sell their big house, they could buy Number 7 and probably have lots of cash left over. Mortgage free. That's without even selling Dev's flat! That would probably persuade him.

Sophie and Sian have matching henna tattoos! Kids, eh? The teenage bitching and moaning was getting on my nerves, though. You know, as cute as Trev is, he's very much a passive aggressive person. What he does with Janice and her diet? He'd tease her about it, then give her tea with no milk and set the cookies down beside her to tempt her. That's just wrong and it's manipulative too. Norris doesn't really need Tina anyway, he's got Mary and he's got Rita!

And a treat for you... Betty Driver has recorded a radio show called Desert Island Disks and the link to listen online is through this blog post. What a fantastic interview it is, all about her life!
