CAMERON is in trouble and no, it’s not that Nick Clegg being awkward again. It’s his coalition with Debbie Dingle. She’s pregnant, although breaking the news to all and sundry in the Woolpack is a wee bit dramatic.
But then she’s had a bad week in Emmerdale (ITV1). Carl has been telling tall stories, which seems strangely appropriate for the tallest man in soap. He reckons that Cameron and Eve are more than just good friends.
You can’t blame Debbie for believing him as Eve has had more rides than the bloke who tests the rollercoasters at Blackpool pleasure beach.
Carl is the one casting aspersions on Cameron’s fidelity. He makes one snide comment too many and Debbie pours a pint over Carl’s head. Later Cameron lands a punch on his smug face. Clearly this isn’t a good night for Carl who’s had his head in the clouds for far too long.
Or for Cameron. Debbie’s already wondering about his faithfulness after learning that yet another woman has been named in his divorce case. This man seems to have a cat flap on his underpants for ease of access by passing floosies.
Good news in Coronation Street (ITV1) is that workmen have arrived to sort out the drainage problems at Underworld knicker factory. Thank goodness, the smell in the ladies loo is quite repulsive.
This spells trouble for John Snape for that’s where the body of Colin Fishwick, the man he’s been impersonating, is rotting.
And John has other problems – his hostages. He’s holding Chesney and the Hoyles captive. How long before he adds to the list of people he’s killed? Not long, it appears, as he pushes Alan Hoyle down the stairs.
Things are more romantic in EastEnders (BBC1) as childnapper Da-Do-Ron- Ronnie gets back together with I’m-All- Right-Again Jack. He’s trying to forgive even if he can’t forget what happened with their baby.
He defends her again to Michael (real father of the baby she napped) but he can’t face Alfie (pretend father of the baby she napped).
Jack’s solution is to invite Ronnie for lunch at Argee Bargee (have they repaired the fallen roof already?) where nights out usually end in as much chaos and violence as a quiet drink in the Rovers.
Marriage trouble too for Fatboy – before he’s even got wed. Mercy calls off their sham marriage, the one they’re planning to help her stay in the UK.
Poor Fatboy, he’s really in love with her.
