Maria’s Own Goal
‘THEY say that theres no fool like an old fool and in Martins case hes very definitely both.
| ”I bet you’re good in the box” |
Martin has agreed to stand by Katy in spite of the fact that shes told him that she deliberately got herself pregnant in order to trap him into marriage.
Lets just keep this to ourselves for a while, Martin said resignedly, for once showing a bit of commonsense or rather self-preservation. Tommy, Katys hot-headed father, isnt going to take too kindly to find out hes about to become a grandfather.
Charlie is another Street resident whos attended the George W Bush school of negotiation skills (attack first, justify later).
Dev discovered that Charlie was fiddling the books on the rebuilding of the shop and fired him. Charlie was convinced that it was Shelly who had told Dev about his dodgy dealings and decided to take his anger and frustration out on her.
Yer always interferin in my life, he screamed at her. Yer dont deserve me, he continued, and yer dont deserve these. And with that he yanked the diamond earrings he gave Shelly for Christmas out of her ears, storming out leaving her bleeding and shellshocked.
Most normal women would have packed his bags and changed the locks but not Shelly she ended up apologising to Charlie. Im sorry I drive yer to these things, she whimpered.
Charlie isnt through with punishing Shelly, however – he decides to humiliate her even more by putting up a poster in The Rovers so that everyone can see exactly how much she weighs and how much she has or hasnt lost. A bit like a Blue Peter Appeal but without the appeal.
Tyrone is also in for a relationship shock soon when he discovers that Maria has been playing away with a footballer.
Poor Tyrone has only just won Maria back through a combination of stalking and begging and now hes about to lose her again to a team mate of Warrens called Stuart. Stuart is everything Tyrone isnt – charming, rich, stylish and a user of women.
Later this week Stuart shows Maria his tackle before casually announcing that hes not looking for a relationship because hes already got a girlfriend.
Poor Maria, shes clearly been taking lessons from Sally Webster who also believes that the only way to get on in life is to get under a man.
Sallys affair with her boss Ian is shaping up nicely for a classic Corrie confrontation. Kevins already nearly caught them once when he turned up to the office unannounced to pick up his wife.
As Ians discovered, its really not very hard to pick up Sally just give her a cheque for five hundred pounds.’
