In Coronation Street, Sophie Webster and Sian Powers's lesbian relationship is now out in the open. Sian's dad, a grunting upright hog in overalls, made his feelings clear yelling "lezzo" and "perverts" then accusing Kevin of tolerating his daughter's lesbian leanings for his own tawdry gains.

"Who wants a nice biscuit?!" Sally shrilled as if 40 years of hard-wired homophobia could be blitzed with a strategically implemented Bourbon.

Sophie and Sian ran away from home for a short period, running back days later as the adult world befuddled them with its short economy washes, electric meters, tricky soy sauce sachets and uncooperative ATM machines.

"But she's got lovely long hair, she wears makeup. How can she be a lesbian?" cried Sally to Rita, emotional that she'd reared a girl who liked girls, but unbothered that she'd reared a bone-idle young adult who couldn't last 10 minutes in the real world without mummy steam-pressing her thongs.

"Everyone knows your Sophie is gay!" Norris quacked at Sally in The Kabin making her weep again. For me, the jury will always be out on Norris's own sexuality, and such little outbursts speak volumes.

In other news, Carla Connor has turned to AA as she's worried about her boozing. This news dismays me.

No woman on television makes a massive glass of pinot noir after an arduous day of hard-nosed business bitchery look more alluring. Her whole demeanour is gravel-voiced, slightly ratty and prone to decadence.

You can't fire 10 knicker stitchers just before Christmas, cover up a murder, and kick back with a delicious mixed-fruit smoothie. It's not proper.

Eastenders

Kat Moon (nee Slater) who returned this month to EastEnders, is one of life's rule breakers. Consider, for example, the laws of makeup: most women learn at a formative age the rule of "big eyes" or "big lips"; never both together.

Both together is Eddie Izzard circa Dress To Kill. Both together is "angry mandarin dragonet fish lurking in the Indo-Asian deep seas to give unsuspecting divers a mallen streak." But Kat gobs in the face of subtle glamour. The Kat we know and dearly love does heavy kohl eyes, volumiser mascara, Santa-red lipgloss, shimmer foundation, Geisha-stye blusher, one kilo of wet-look hair product and a Lipsy copy tube dress pulled over her pregnant bump, parentage TBC.

There was a lovely moment last week where Shirl and Kat squared up to each other in Ian's cafe, both in biker jackets, bare legs and micro frocks only to dissolve into giggles at their shared maximum-volume swag.

Oh, and Alfie Moon's back too. I've never quite bought Kat being married to Alfie (Shane Richie). Yes, there was a spark years ago, perhaps, but Kat rapidly outgrew Alfie and now he bounds behind her in scenes like a rescue-centre spaniel.

Look, I've bought us a caravan! Look, here's a chunk of wood with your name on it! Look at this single traffic-jam rose; I laaaaav you! Each time Kat greets him with the enthusiasm you would a mid-beach holiday period. While Alfie wheels and deals with a view to owning the Vic, Kat's distraction has been sticking her oar into the Ryan/Janine/Stacey disaster.

Janine now knows her husband Ryan got Stacey pregnant. Many acts of violence ensued including Stacey dragging Janine by her hair over cement paths, through soil, scraping her face to shreds, and abbreviating Janine's pained whining with random punches.

It was a bit grim, even for EastEnders, but a spectacle the Albert Square residents gathered to enjoy, smiling jocundly as if it were welly wanging.

"Ere Juuunine," Kat added, pouring cold water on the chip-blaze of emotions, and protruding her bump like a bomb, "this one's Ryan's too!" This wasn't true, but Ryan deserves some stick.

His long-term strategy to avoid paying child support consisted of "feigning deafness" and "being distracted by leaves and squirrels" whenever he heard the rattle of an approaching Bugaboo.

Despite being a bereaved single parent with a murder on her conscience, Stacey's faring much better these days. She has little opportunity to forget taking her antidepressants because helpful Walford residents dog her night and day and night moaning, "Have you taaaaken your medication? Are you feeling peculiar again Stacey? You're acting strange!"

Meanwhile, everyone thinks it's totally un-strange that Mo's house is full of knock-off pork products or that Darren has lopped off a portion of his penis in tribute to the beauty salon Barbie he's known for six weeks.

Max Branning forever assures Stacey he'll look out for her, but his cognisant powers were up for scrutiny this week when his daughter Lauren returned from America with a new head.

"I'll put the kettle on!" he chirped, none the wiser. I love it when soaps change characters for different actors. Especially when they do it terribly like the Nick Tilsley switch in Coronation Street where Ben Price replaced Adam Rickitt.

They could have brought Ben Dover or Ben Volpeliere-Pierrot in to play Nick Tilsley and I'd have been more accepting

Well Trace,

I know know all about his Musical and Charity Careers, who he married, who he was divorced from, who his children are.

I know where he went to school and what sort of hat he wore, who his 'idol' was and that the house he lived in had rats in the walls and running water under the floor boards.

I just don't know anything about his parents or siblings.!!!!

Anyway, it seems you have the details now to that's that!

P.S. - Glad you managed to speak 'the voice of reason' to our Ginns - she will now stop complaining about AncestryXxx

I tried clicking on Go to old search but that takes me back about 10 years I think to the first format ever!

I just want to type in a name and get a list of possible matches...you know like; BMD's, cenuses and all the other stuff

If I want to be specific I do that my bl##dy self!

I think the colour is the same though

Dea Report 2 Oct 2010 10:41

Awwhhh Trace,

You didn't say this was a 'Scottish one' - I can't help on Scottish ones I am afraid.

I have found a bit on James (Midge) on google, I will see if I can find anything more helpful.

oooh has your Ancestry gone all orangey/creamy?

It's gone to the new version?

If it has it's easy to solve!

Yeah he was born 10 Oct 1953.

Gee Report 2 Oct 2010 10:36

And is was 1953 for his birth?

Ancestry has gone too specific. I type the details in the main search box and then I get a long list of all the catalogue...

...so I click censuses and then I get another list of all the censuses....I then have to click on 1881 or what ever and I get a list of possibles...without any details until I click on the name

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
