Christmas on the cobbles part 2

Xmas Day Corrie Part 2

[Opening scene: Tracey's bedroom. Tracey is in bed with various strangers whom she met earlier in the Ravers Bar - a rival pub in nearby Rosamund Street.]

Eric (One of the strangers): You do have lovely teeth, Tracey.
Derek (Another stranger): And you do have lovely feet, Tracey.
Lembit (The third stranger): And your face is so... so... so like a face.

[A face appears at the window, and stares inside. It is the mysterious stranger who has been charged with murdering Tracey.]

Face at Window (in quiet whisper, so we can't tell who it is): Oh no, she's got company. Nice tattoo, Lembit.


Scene 2: Tyrone's house
[Tyrone is sitting on the sofa looking devastated.]

Tyrone: I hate that Kevin Webster.
Ghostly voice of Vera: Woo woo. Ay up, or Tyrone. What's the matter love?
Tyrone: Oh Molly told me she doesn't love me, decided to leave me, went to the shop, just before an explosion in the new pub which Nick Tilsley opened, and then was caught up in the wreckage when a tram came off the tracks after the explosion. She told Sally that Baby Jack wasn't mine, and then at the funeral I realised that the father was Kevin so I've packed Baby Jack off to Kevin's.
GVOV: Don't be so miserable. Come with me and I will show you Christmas past.

[Ghost grabs Tyrone and they are transported back to a woman's prison.]

Jackie [Tyrone's mum]: Thanks for coming to visit me; did you bring any fags?
Little Tyrone [Aged 7, dressed like the Hovis Boy]: No mama, I was unable to bring any contraband into this house of imprisonment, as Mr Bizzytwig the warden would not allow it.
Jackie: Oh him! He's a @@@@@@. Have you brought me any drink Sweetie?
Little Tyrone: I attempted to bring in some libations, but Mr Bizzytwig's assistant Mrs Emmac Fuzzstop drank it.
Jackie: Well did you bring me any soap or toothpaste or anything?
Little Tyrone: Alas, mater, I was unable to bring you any such things, as I had no money left after purchasing your cigarettes and liquor. I had to walk here and will have to walk back too, but I did not feel concerned about this 24 mile round trip as it is a son's duty to visit his mother when the former is incarcerated by the Bobbies.
Jackie: Well you can go. I don't need you here if you've got nothing for me.

[Tryone and the Ghost reappear at Tyrone's house. Vera's ghost vanishes and Jack's ghost appears.]

Ghost Jack: Come with me, lad. I want you to see what could happen in the future. (He takes Jack's hand, and they find themselves on the Street, in December 2060. Gail and Eileen are fighting in the street, and Dev is watching from his wheelchair. Norris and Emily watch from the Kabin door. Sally comes out of her house, with Rosey - now an ageing woman wearing the same type of clothes as she did in 2010 - in tow. Baby Jack also comes out of the house.

Tyrone: Is that...?
Ghost of Jack: Aye, it's Baby Jack. He has grown up in a disfunctional home, and is now disfunctional.

[Baby Jack runs over the street and starts to fight with Eileen and Gail.]

Baby Jack: It's a fight!

[Ken's hair comes out of the house. It is the same style, colour and thickness as it had been in 2010.]

Ken's hair: Oh, another fight in the street. It's been like this ever since Ena and Elsie first argued way back in the 1960s.

[Rosie's daughter, Tiffany Cole, comes out. She looks like Rosie did in 2010, but she has her father's facial features.]

Tiffany: A fight, ye bring it on.
Sally: Rosie, get Tiffany to behave.
Rosie: Oh mother, I can't. You have no idea how difficult it is to get your children to behave these days. They're not all las well-behaved as I was.
Tiffany: Hit her, Baby Jack.
Ken's hair: NO! STOP THIS FIGHTING.

[All stop fighting, as the wise old hair has spoken. Ken's hair shuffles back to his house, his slippers scuffling on the cobbles. Tyrone is transported back to his house, and Ghost of Jack disappears.]

Tyrone: Baby Jack is going to grow up to be a thug who fights in the street. Should I get him back from Kev? Can I risk him growing up like that?


Scene 3: The Mobile Kabin
[Mary and Norris are parked in a rough estate, waiting for customers.]

Norris: So Tracey is still alive.
Mary: Yes.
Norris: Here comes a customer.
Customer: A magazine, a Gazetter and a packet of Rizlas please.
Norris: Three pounds eighty please.
Customer: Thanks. Did I hear you talking about Tracey?
Mary: No, no you didn't. We are not planning to murder her.
Customer: You are, you are. I will tell her.
Norris: No, you can't. We aren't really planning to kill her.
Customer: I don't believe you.
Norris picks up a giant toblerone and hits her on the head. She dies.
Mary: Oh dear. You've killed her. I'll call John and ask him to advise him about getting rid of the body.
