Tonight on Coronation Street Gary Windass was home on leave, even though he was actually AWOL from the army, and just as he was leaving the house David - who hasn't been in it for a week or so as far as I can tell - came down the street, and saw him, and said "Well, go on then. Make a joke about my mum. "Gail in jail", or has she got a tattoo yet?, or something". And Gary just said "No, dude, I wouldn't wish what's happened to your family on my worst enemy." And David asked if he was making a joke. And Gary was just like no, properly, I hope it all turns out okay, and let your mum know we don't believe a word of it. And David was like "Okay. Thanks". And then later when Gary was just leaving the house again David was coming down the street the other way, and stopped and said thanks, or something, for what he'd said earlier. And said maybe the next time Gary was back he might want to go for a drink or something. And Gary said yeah, that sounded good. And they were both trying really hard to be civil to each other without actually looking at each other. It was a bit beautiful and perfect. I HOPE THAT IT IS THE START OF THEIR LOVE, AND NOT THEM TYING UP THE LOOSE ENDS OF GARY'S LIFE SO THEY CAN KILL HIM LATER ON. It's probably just them making Gary seem mature and everything, as his mother mentioned in the episode, so it made it all the more difficult when his parents find out he actually ran away from the army. I am just worried they're going to kill him. Mostly I'm worried because someone said the writers were going to kill him, with no source backing them up, on a soap forum, and even though I know that people just lie on those places sometimes I still worry it might be true. Given that he is in the army and a 'killed-in-action' storyline might be something Coronation Street wanted to do. I like Gary. And he is David's true love. I don't want them to kill him, really.
I do love that they try to give him scenes with David whenever he's back on the Street though. Because David is one of the most important people in his life, obviously. ::LOVE::
Also I am back from my holiday in Filey. It was in turns hard, horrendous, and quite nice. I might post more about it later, but given that I haven't been doing that very often lately I can't really promise to. It was nice though, parts of it. But suffice to say, coming on my period on the day we were going out there didn't exactly help. And then on Saturday, I set out - in lovely weather - to go to see the Nacional Ballet De Cuba perform Swan Lake at the Lowry in Manchester. Despite some early morning problems with getting the train from my local station, Manchester proved really quite easy to get to, and cheap, and it was pretty easy getting to the Lowry from the station as well. And the ballet was good, although I think by that point I was feeling pretty exhausted from the holiday and travelling and everything, and was almost falling asleep in act 2. But it was good, and the dancing was lovely, and I got talking to a couple next to me when I tried to explain part of the plot to them. We talked about what ballets I'd been to, and how I got into it, and the fact that the woman and I were both there because we really liked Cuba, even though she'd never been either. The man had though. A part of me hates him. But still, they were lovely, and it was really nice talking to them. And then I watched the rest of the ballet, had a really nice simple train journey back to Yorkshire, and I was home. Hurrah.
Another thing it turns out they're doing at the Lowry in August is 50 Years of Coronation Street - over 2,000 storylines packed into a 2-hour stage show. A part of me really wants to go. It seems a bit ridiculous given that most of the things I love in Coronation Street have happened in the last year or two. Still. Alternate David Platt. IT IS TEMPTING.
