Not So Rosy Future
‘SALLY Webster is rapidly overtaking Cilla as the odds-on favourite in this years Mother from Hell finals.

| A star is born |
Sally has decided that Roosey is to become the new Charlotte Church and is grooming her for stardom. Unfortunately for Sally, just like Charlotte Church, Rosy has got herself an undesirable boyfriend.
You stay away from my daughter, shrieked Sally at poor Craig in the street. Youll just bring her down. Youll never amount to anything, just like yer dad. Youll be tinkerin with cars all yer life.
What? Like Rosys dad does? came Craigs intelligent reply.
Sallys latest plan is to get Rosy away from Craig by sending her to the Northern Drama Academy, which looks about as likely as the BBCs Fame Academy to turn out any real stars.
Its either that boy or your career, Sally told poor Rosy. As Rosys career to date has been a performance in a school play even Posh Spice would think was hammy, its pretty obvious which one shes going to choose.
Another deluded Street resident is Candice. At the tender age of 16, Candice is in danger of becoming the new Liz McDonald (but hopefully without the Tina Turner frightwig).
Candice and new shampoo rep Tim went out on a date after he chatted her up in the salon. Unfortunately for Candice, the date consisted of a glass of red wine in her flat and then a tour of her bed sheets.
The minute it was over, Tim was putting on his hair gel and walking out the door. Ill call yer, babe, he shouted down the stairs. Indeed, babe is probably the only thing hell ever call her, as hes unlikely to ever remember her name.
The big Corrie storyline at the moment, however, is Todds torturous discovery that theres actually a gay man trapped in the body of an engaged father-to-be. Todds started sleeping on the sofa and wheeling out the its not you, its me line to poor Sarah Lou.
Hes also starting texting Karl, telling him how much he wants to be with him. Im not going to wait around forever, snarled Karl. If you dont want me, theres plenty out there who would.
This week, Todd confided in his mother Eileen. I dont know what to do, he sobbed movingly. Im in love with someone else. Who is she? raged Eileen. Its not a she, shouted Todd. His name is Karl.
And for once, Eileen was speechless.’
