Oh baby!
Alright, humes? Tsk - I knew from the start no good would come of Coronation Street's surrogate baby storyline. Remember, humes: it's never the best idea to offer to carry a child for the on-the-edge couple who live a few doors away, no matter how hard-up you are. OK, I know Tina was probably only trying to be neighbourly, but there are limits. So to recap on recent events... A couple of weeks ago, father-to-be Gary made a clumsy pass at the heavily pregnant Tina, which she quickly rebuffed. This being a soap opera, no attempt at a pass - clumsy or otherwise - could go undiscovered, so tonight's episode saw Izzy find out about her partner's indiscretion moments before Tina went into premature labour. Ah, there's never a dull moment, is there? I've had a quick look through the listings, and the histrionics look set to continue for the rest of the week - with dramatic childbirth scenes, relationship meltdowns and the fallout from the triumphant return of Tommy Duckworth. (Altogether now: "He's coming home! He's coming home! He's coming... Tommy's coming home!") Naturally, Tina looks set to bond with the baby and soon has second thoughts about giving him up. Well, it was bound to happen, wasn't it? Like I said, I could have told her that from the start. Anyway, I've done my best to welcome Weatherfield's imminent new arrival by doing a half-arsed "hume baby" impression in the picture above. Basically, I've jumped in a pram and parked myself outside the Rovers. I did briefly toy with the idea of wearing a bonnet and sucking a dummy, too, but - funnily enough - they made me look a bit soppy... Want to help a cat become Top Dog, humes?
