In honour of our extra visit to Weatherfield this week, I've expanded our regular dose of learning points from five to six!
Aidan's middle name is Finbar. I hope this is a tribute to Viz's Finbarr Saunders and His Double Entendres. Fnarr! Hrnk!
Mary's mother was on It's A Knockout!. Sadly, dressing up as a twelve-foot milkmaid and filling enormous canisters while coming down a slide wasn't enough for her WI team to win. "On the plus side, that's how we found out she was lactose intolerant. Long before it was fashionable." Mary's mother has long stopped resembling anything close to a real humanoid, and thank the lord for that.
Cross Rosie Webster at your peril. She's considering putting a direct threat to any future Mr Rosie in her wedding, just to make sure he doesn't stray - "revenge vows, I like it." Though Sophie should be the one swearing vengeance against whoever did that to her fringe.
Rita might have forgotten a lot of things, but she remembers Alec Gilroy. A lovely little tribute to the character played by Roy Barraclough, who sadly passed away in June.
Liz can put the red wine away. Blimey, they'd not been chatting long; how much was she knocking back? And there's still half a bottle left. What was that, their third? What's worse is she wasn't even tipsy. She must have the constitution of a thirty stone wrestler from Bolton.
Michelle has a very selective memory. She takes any chance to lay into Leanne and remind her that Steve was her husband when they slept together (she even did it in Friday's episode). I hope that Leanne takes their new detente to casually remind her that Will might not be stalking her if Michelle hadn't lead him on by snogging him repeatedly behind Steve's back, right up to the point of booking a hotel room with him to do the dirty. Oh, and that said dalliance was what lead to the initial breakdown in the marriage that sent Steve to Leanne's bed. I doubt it will happen though because that part seems to have been wiped from Michelle's brain, probably because, as we all know, Michelle is the Unimpeachable Queen of the Galaxy, and she is never wrong.
