What we do know is that Maria’s dumped Jason and Marcus has dumped Aiden and Marcus and Maria are now officially an item, a couple, a pair. Jason is in bits, Sean’s in bits and we, the viewers have taken strong positions on what Marcus should, or should not, do as a gay man. I hate this story and it deserves all the criticism it’s getting from gay quarters. For me, a lot of it has to do with Maria, the dullest woman ever in the history of Weatherfield. She can’t give this story the spark it deserves. If Marcus had fallen in love (his words, not ours) with anyone other than Maria we might have felt something for Marcus, gone on his sexual journey of cobbles confusion with him, but we haven’t, oh no.
Speaking of dull, it’s the 5 a side football match between the men of the Rovers Return and those from the Weatherfield Arms. Too much sniping between landladies fell flat when it should have fizzed and Barry Gutbucket, the Weathy Arms goalie, ensured that the Rovers men lost the game.
However, all is well in Weatherfield over at Ken and Deirdre’s boudoir of passion, or as I like to call it, their house. They’re all smoochy and loved up after Wendy flamin’ Crozier resigns from the Board of Governors and gets out of Ken’s life and Deirdre’s hair. Mrs Barlow celebrates with a bath: “I dropped off at one point and got me Grazia wet!”.Lewis is turning on the charms with Gail in what she thinks is him being nice to her but is really him getting his revenge for her part in the Audrey saga last week. Gail even buys back, at a considerable sum, Lewis’ father’s watch he tells her he’s had to pawn as he’s skint. He’s lying of course but Gail is too simperingly stupid to know. However, this storyline did see Gail’s dad Ted Page (remember him?) get a mention. Where the chuck is he? Bring him back now!
