Corrie Sunday Comments, February 28

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!


Mary is definitely showing signs of madness and obsession. She scared the bejeebies out of Norris when he saw her chopping wood in the middle of the night, and she was offering him her bath water, sabotaging the motor home, breaking Norris' glasses and keeping him helpless. She doesn't get upset, she gets enraged! It's very scary. And all Norris had to do when he finally got hold of Rita was holler for help instead of going running off down the bumpy lane when he then twisted his ankle. Of course the motorhome was mysteriously working again. She's pushing Norris into a rejection but he's too scared of her to come right out with it. And she implied that she may have made her mother "pay"... killed her??? Then that wedding dress behind the door?


Well, it turns out her mother isn't dead (so why did she tell Norris that she was? hmmmmm) and she was not charged. We didn't get to see the interview but Mary is adept at twisting words and she'll have made Norris look like a Moaning Millie. But it wasn't a misunderstanding at all, we all know that.

Many of you already know, but the actress that played Blanche, Maggy Jones, passed away in December 2009 and having Blanche die in Portugal was the end result. They could never replace the actress, after all. So here we are, Blanche is due back from Portugal, and passes away in her sleep. Her friend tells Deirdre that she found a new love! Meanwhile, Ken wants to convert the loft into his own space. Deirdre says no no no, Ken asks Jason how long it would take and how much it would cost! I wonder if he'll have his eye on Blanche's room, now? What's in the letter she left? Most likely f uneral instructions, considering she was a professional funeral attender, she'll have very a precise view of her own send off.

So her friend May came to see the family and sprung the news about this Albert fella but May's descriptions of dear, sweet Blanche certainly don't sound like the Blanche we all know and love! And i know she would never have called Deirdre "Deedee" so that must have been the increasing volumes of brandy. It must be difficult for Deirdre. She and her mother most definitely had a contentious relationship in spite of the fact that they did care for each other. She's lashing out at Ken and everyone else but she's really just heartbroken.


I don't know why Graeme didn't catch up to Tina. She didn't have that much of a head start and in her condition, she shouldn't have been able to outrun him, especially considering she collapsed again as soon as she got back inside!! Wasn't he great, though? bashing down doors and feeding her soup? The thing is, Tina shutting herself away is part of the problem. She *needs* to talk about her father, that's what helps more than keeping it in.


It didn't take Long for Lewis to butter up Audrey and then spring the Greek Island dream on her. Now how do you think he hopes to finance that??? Hmmmm???? Natasha really is making a nest for herself at Gail's, isn't she?


Becky's freaking about the first meeting with the social worker. You know she's scared she'll not measure up and the social worker will think she's not good enough. Claire's idea of practicing was good but you know how touchy Becky is!


Poor Gary. Everyone ganging up on him but in the end, he admitted a bit of wobblers and went back to the army. You know, it's a good thing Eddie is such a good liar! He can make you believe anything without directly lying to your face, can't he? Then he turned Gary in but he had decided to go back before they came to round him up.

Natasha finally got her date with Nick and what did they do? A drink in the Rovers and straight up them stairs. At least David got his own back by inviting Graeme to stay! And why does Nick have such a bee up his arse about Graeme staying? Really, though, David should have taken Gail's bed from the start and given Graeme his. Did you see? A new Amy! Maybe this one will actually *want* to act and be comfortable saying a few words! Unusually, that country cottage looked way bigger on the outside than it seemed to be on the inside! Trev is trying to get all the fellas to buy World Cup tickets. The price appears to be 1500 quid and it must include hotel and air... that's a lot for most of the guys and don't mention it to the women! Because you know they will have all their feet put firmly down!
