Christmas Plans and Catastrophic Trams: Coronation Street recap – December 1 through 6

By Ley on Thursday, December 9, 2010 - 16:55

With such a quiet week for our pair last week, it makes sense that this one makes up for it... and so much more!

1^st December – Part 1

The four Websters are sitting around the table eating breakfast, and Sally is discussing with the girls how much their dad should spend on them at Christmas.

They seem puzzled, until she says he gave £100 to baby Jack, and says that if that’s the going rate they should be worth at least £500 each. Kevin says that if it bothers her that much she’ll go and ask Ty for a refund, causing Sally to liken him to Scrooge.

He turns and says that he’ll take the morning off work and take Sally shopping for her present. That way she’s sure to get something she wants. Sally turns to Sophie and Random Rosie and says that if he’s offering to take her shopping there must be something wrong with him, and the three of them giggle.

1^st December – Part 2

Sally asks Kevin for a Christmas tree, a real one, and Kevin gets Ty to pick it for him. When Sally stops by the garage, Kevin shows her it, and she’s excited about it until she learns Ty was the one who got it for her.

She then invites Ty, Molly and baby Jack to their house for Christmas dinner. Kevin says he’d best ask Molly first, but Ty assures him she’ll love it and accepts, much to Kevin’s worry.

Molly loses the place with Ty when she finds out what he’s done. She says that she wants Christmas to be with her family, and to spend it with her husband and baby, not with the Websters. She tells him that he has to come up with a very good excuse as to why they can’t make Christmas dinner with the Webters, and storms out the room.

2^nd December

Sally tells Sophie and Double R that they’ve got guests coming for Christmas dinner:

RR:        Hear that Soph? Baby Jesus is coming to stay.
Sophie:  Or maybe it’s Santa bringing you clothes that actually fit!?

Sally tells them it’s Molly, Ty and baby Jack. Double R is far from impressed, asking if Molly’s still breast-feeding. When Sally asks why, Double R says in the way only she can: “If she gets them out at the table I’m so out of here!”

Molly goes to apologise to Ty at the garage, with chocolate. Trying to cover her tracks maybe?!

Ty gives in and goes to tell Kevin that they won’t be joining him and his family for Christmas. Kevin agrees without a fight and Ty is angered by his blasé response. He then suggests to Kevin that he should have dinner with Sally and the girls, while Kevin and Molly sulk together. Ty storms off, for more chocolate! Comfort eating, it’s never a good thing.
