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!
Molly still doesn't want to tell anyone she's pregnant, wants to get used to the idea. She's known for over a month and she's well into the second trimester. How much time does she need? Tyrone is so excited and putting the 3d scan on the internet isn't exactly how Molly wanted to go public about it. Unfortunately, seeing the actual moving baby on the video made it real for Kevin and now he's whinging and moaning. How on earth can he be the baby's godfather? Oh and we're not friends anymore. Sounds more like Sian and Sophie than a grown man... Suck it up buttercup.
And Kevin *still* can't stay away from Molly even though he doesn't want anything to do with her or the baby. Surely if Audrey wanted new magazines for the Salon, she'd go elsewhere or send Natasha? Maybe she was hoping she and Rita could make it up i suppose. Speaking of Natasha, her chasing Nick isn't pretty. She's not even good at it. Looks and sounds more like a 14 year old than a grown woman.
Lloyd has a big crush on Leanne's old friend Cheryl. Steve warns him that Cheryl might be one of Leanne's mates from the bad old days and Lloyd took offence. Considering that Cheryl congratulated Leanne on "getting out" when she first met up with her, i'd say it's a fair warning! Natasha has an instant crush on Nick. Looks like he might even be receptive. Well, i suppose he would be willing to take what's on offer.
And as i said last week, an episode out of turn, Rosie's smug mug got a bit of a surprise when her footballer turned out to be a burger slinger! Kirk + Online Dating = disaster. Using Jason's photo? Really? Of course it's going to backfirel! And, of course, Graeme's methods aren't much better. Only his methods of "spontenaity" was pretty poorly thought out. Use the exact same chat up line on both Natasha and Rosie. . Bad decision..
Teenage angst. Ryan feels guilty but he didn't own up to Sian that he was the kisser not the kissee. At least he couldn't lie to his mum and fessed up to her but he still managed not to tell Sian the truth and she figured it out herself. Sian dumped him well and truly. And he deserved it! And Sophie moved in on Sian! Really, though, kissing her right after she broke up with Ryan was probably not the best move. She freaked out Sian, though, and i suppose that's a natural reaction when you're already upset and you're only 15. Sophie is a lesbian, she's realized it and she's in love with her best friend!
John's friend Charlotte seems a bit of a live wire. I can't really spoil it but watch this space. It's not the last we've seen of her. I've always said John was a narcissistic passive aggressive idiot and he's off on one again. He is going to take Colin Fishwick's identity now he's going to Canada and pretend to be Colin in order to get a job. I hope he's practiced Colin's signature to match the documents. Never mind that it's highly illegal and never mind that it normally takes weeks and weeks to get the security check done. Nope, this is Corrie and you can apply, get interviewed, pass the test and be hired in a day. He's putting all that extra stress on Fiz and telling her he agrees, bad idea, but if he did... no, no, he won't do it. But ... but... until he wears her down. No respect for her feelings at all, no respect that it's illegal in addition to getting forged id made up as well. Making her lie along with him.
I don't think i could hate John Stape any more than i do at this moment in time for how he's treating Fiz...all because he has to do what he wants to do no matter that it could wreck his marraige. Fiz, the old sparky Fiz, would have kicked him to the curb but the new Fiz has no backbone, unfortunately.
Deirdre had a point about John having to learn to accept his limits. Well, at least Ken isn't a psycho, just a serial cheater! John's made a start on that with Rosie, mind you, but since then, he's not gone that route again yet. So it seems like Fiz finally wore down and figured if she didn't let him do it, he'd turn into another unsatisfied Ken Barlow? It'll end in tears all right, but not the way you think it will. How on earth could he even apply for a job without a proper resume/cv? He only knows the one school where Colin worked but what's the rest of his job history and education? And pretending he's got a job at a furniture store? Really??
Wow, Becky has a haircut just like Liz! Or nearly! They do say men marry women that turn into their wives but you don't often see the wives turning into their mothers-in-law! And the Windasses want to adopt? That came out of nowhere, didn't it? And with the backgrounds both couples have you would think it would be an out and out reject slip, wouldn't you? Steve, Becky and probably Eddie with a criminal record, Steve married how many times? Anna and Eddie not married at all. They make it sound like each case is assessed on it's own merit and generally it should be ok but in real life, i very much doubt either couple would be considered.
Rita and Audrey are still firing shots across the bow at each other. Why Audrey was surprised to see Rita in the Kabin i don't know. Even though she's not the owner, she is there most of the time anyway and she is working there again.
