It's been a mixed old week down in Weatherfield. The action began with the culmination of the Duckworth drug dealer saga. Three cheers for the powers that be who managed to bring this one to fruition in (for Corrie) a remarkably short space of time. Again we were teased with the prospect of trout-face Tina going to meet her maker. Yet again our hopes were dashed and the belligerent barmaid lives to see another day.
Tommy, battered and bruised, mooched around in several of his low-cut tops, edging further away from the so-called 'cheeky' character we had been promised a year ago. This perpetually sobbing wuss of a bloke needs to man-up and soon. At least whilst he is with Tina, they don't ruin another couple.
Is it worth mentioning Sunita again? Oh go on then, let's. From shop-assisant to slut, the ruination of Ms Alahan continues. She's now taken to serving up the twins pasta dressed like a brothel keeper. By the end of next week expect to see her dishing out beans on toast decked out in fish-nets and a whip. Oh I'm forgetting, we already saw Sunita's pins in all their glory last Monday (credit where credit's due - Shobna Gulati has a body to be proud of). However, this unseemly storyline soldiers on. Sunita's character change continues to jar and feels unrealistic. In addition, Karl has morphed from jovial bloke to filthy old man in a matter of weeks. If the rumours are true, Sunita is due to descend into the ranks of the soap-opera bunny boiler in the near future. All very sad and unecessary but maybe she will emerge on the other side as the till operator we once knew and loved.
Congratulations then to fesity Rita, a riot in peach, as she tussled with a nasty drug dealer, a rancid Norris and a dreary bridesmaid. Barbara Knox delivered in spades and in a week of so-so stories, hers was the one that stood out. Here's to you, Mrs Tanner!

Thank you for your kind words. We're glad you're enjoying the blog!
Ditto on the sentiments of the blog.
It's nice to have a place to rant.
Sure thought we were going to see more of the street party. Seemed a shame to have everyone all decked out for the fancy dress and we really only saw 5 minutes of them. Was waiting for karaoke or Rita singing to her husband. Such a waste.
I do wish we'd seen more of the party, yes! What did we get? Sean making hotpot, Tracy chasing Steve around, Karl and Sunita sullying the shop floor. A few awards given out.
More of the party would have been fun, and wayyyyyy less of Karl and Sunita. Huge ick factor at play here. The character transplant fairy has really been working overtime on Sunita. Her out and out lies to Dev were dreadful (although well acted if she was really trying to look like she was lying). While being married (not) to Dev must be extrememly difficult, being attracted to Karl is an act of complete desperation!
Clinkers writes some great stuff!
