Slightly depressing

that Waterstones put a sticker reading:

"The inspiration for the musical behind the BBC's 'I'd Do Anything'. "

on the front cover of that little known novel 'Oliver Twist'.

Corrie

Well, that evil manipulative Charlie Stubbs has been done in by that evil manipulative Tracey Barlow.

Nice story line with little unexpected twists like Charlie not actually popping his clogs straight away leaving 'Our Tracey' (copyright Deidre Barlow)worried he would come round and tell the truth, and just now Tracey being charged when we all assumed she would be free to go. My personal highlight however was the moment when a hysterical Tracey is weeping and wailing in the Barlow's front room about how she has slain the man she loves, (cue many repetitions of 'Oh Tracey... love!' from a distraught Deidre)whilst the rest of the entire cast is outside on the street (should that be on The Street?) watching the police and ambulance and speculating on events, when the nosy and frankly poisonous Blanche (mother of Deidre, grand mother to Tracey - yes, I do know my Coronation street characters),
rushes downstairs in dressing gown and curlers to demand 'Have I missed summat?'
