Coronation Street Party Madness

Well, I certainly enjoyed our little Corrie-Shindig. Different; and I like that. Here follows my version of events.

Two Synopsises. Or synopsi. No, synopsises:

7.30 Episode
  • Sally tries to fix things with Sophie, and help her get along with Rosie.
  • Audrey asks Maria not to return to work for a while. Maria, offended, argues with her and then throws her out.
  • Blanche tells Leanne that Peter is returning that day with Ken.
  • Anna is suspicious that Eddie and Gary had something to do with the robbery from the building site, and warns them that she had better not find out they were involved.
  • Ad-Break Hook: Carla has called the police about Maria attacking Tony.
  • Maria goes to the Police Station about Tony, and asks to speak to the relevant officer.
  • Ken returns without Peter, and reveals to Leanne that Peter is in rehab.
  • Gail confronts Eddie and Anna in the street.
  • It is revealed to Maria that Carla had called the police on her. She is taken out of the station.
  • In the car, Maria sees a happy family and breaks down crying.
  • At the pub, Gary and Len believe that their robbery was a success.
  • End-of-Episode Hook: Maria hits Tony with her car, and then crashes into a wall.
8.30 Episode
  • The reaction to the crash, as people rush out onto the street to see if Tony and Maria are okay.
  • Carla tells the police that Maria had deliberately driven at Tony, and that she should be locked-up.
  • Gary tells Tina that David has set him up because he's jealous that Tina likes him.
  • Ad-Break Hook: Ken's dog falls into the canal, but is rescued by Martha. He is invited onto her boat.
  • Ken and Martha "eat soup"...
  • Audrey and Kirk encounter Tony at the hospital, who wants to hear how Maria is doing. He finds out that her baby will be okay.
  • Ken and Martha "drink wine"... and Ken reveals his family issues, but not that he is remarried.
  • Kevin tells Sophie that they can talk openly, if she ever needs to.
  • Ken returns home, and - not revealing that he's been on Martha's boat - has to have some of Deirdre's bland soup, to cover-up where he's been.
  • David overhears Tina say that she think Gary might be innocent.
  • End-of-Episode Hook: Maria is told that she could be charged for attempted murder.
Character statuses. Or stati. No, statuses:
Sally: Mother
Rosie: Mean sister and a little bit promiscuous
Sophie: Sweet girl, single (but with a love-interest)
Audrey: Whilst Maria's boss, she appeals to her as a friend
Maria: "Implacable Avenger" (thanks Andy)
Tony: Murderer, Respected boss
Carla: Tony's partner, defender
Eddie: Dodgy Geezer
Gary: Young Dodgy Geezer and Manipulative to boot
Anna: Suspicious mother/wife
Ken: Unhappily married
Martha: Unhappily lonely

The others had too little screen time to define their status, in my opinion. But, if I'm wrong, I'll happily add those others!
