Sunday Corrie Comments, January 30

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!

Becky had a hard time getting her head around the idea of adoption. Perhaps Steve brought it up too soon after her miscarraige. Aw but Hayley was able to comfort her like Steve couldn't. She's not as close to things. Steve is understandably concerned about Amy, she really has had a lot of upheaval but she seemed ok with the idea when they finally talked to her about it. And all the women and all the men had conversations about adoption, too. Great, isn't it? I love it when you see the men propping up the bar and having a chat and you don't get to see all the women together like that either, not as often as I'd like.

Mary ordered half a Guinness often orders really off the wall combinations. Rosie has high aspirations of being one of the WAGs (Wives and Girlfriends... of Footballers) and her erstwhile footballer turned out to be a liar. He isn't even on the second or third string team, he sells burgers at the stadium! *snort* I gleefully watched her come crashing down to earth after all that simpering and strutting she was doing. And Janice had her heart broken yet again. It wasn't bad enough that her crush was unrequited but now he's in the sack with Carla. Surely Janice could have seen that coming? Carla and Trev have been in the Rovers together on occasion.

So here we go. Rita booked Lewis and got in there before Audrey could book him and she never managed to tell Audrey. Not that she had to but Audrey was not impressed with Rita snagging "her" fella. Wow! That was some powerhouse stuff between the two old friends and two veteran actors! When Audrey brought up Alf, i gasped! And more again outside on the cobbles! Hoo baby! And with Norris earwigging around every corner! (I seriously don't understand why Rita hasn't buried Norris underneath the licorice whips years ago!) You don't realize how good they are because they don't often get stuff they can really get their teeth into.

Audrey did get a bit of a shock when her friend Claudia mused that Lewis was a good kisser! I guess Audrey wasn't the only one! It was funny, the look on Audrey's face, like a bulldog chewing a wasp. And didn't Rita's voice get all posh when she was talking to Lewis? Audrey's does as well! At least Gail and Audrey made up. But of course Audrey wouldn't tell Gail what Lewis really does. Hospitality Industry my Aunt Fanny!

Well.. So John has a former coworker with a really bad 70s porn star moustache and oh dear, he's coming to Canada! Do we have to have him? He's a bit of a pratt, isn't he? All of John's former coworkers seem kind of off the wall, not just Colin. That Charlotte seems a right wingnut. ( and you just watch this space!) Poor Sophie and Sian seem to have fallen out over a boy. You should never let lads come between you!

Norris is already freaking out a bit over this cozy cottage he's got to share with Mary! You know Norris can be a good friend when it comes to Rita or Emily at least. And was there any doubt that Rita would end up back behind the counter selling toffees full time? Laughed at Eileen outing Rita who would send Norris on a price comparison trip to get him out from under foot.

Ken and Deirdre's anniversary this week, a party prodded by Leanne but that's pretty normal isn't it? Ken isn't exactly one of the most romantic men in spite of the fact that he has had more women than hot dinners.

Aw Leanne would be a great permanent mum for Simon, i think she should legally adopt him if she and Peter do get married. These things never *ever* run smoothly, though, and when you're know that they're carrying more baggage between them than Air Canada loses on a hot week in July, you just know it's going to be a bumpy road to the altar. Anyway it sure looked like Peter was messing around with Michelle and as Leanne pointed out, he's addicted to women. But alas, she ended up having a bit too much to drink and making a fool of herself. Why on earth Peter would have asked his ex girlfriend Michelle to help pick out an engagement ring though, is beyond me. Bad choice there, mate. Tit for Tat, though, she apologized to Michelle and then apologized to Peter in the best way possible by proposing to him instead!
