Les reckons Cilla should get herself a job and fixes her an interview
with the manager at the Turk's Head. She gets the job but isn't best pleased
that her lady of leisure days will be no more. Over the road Fiz
is confused by a credit card statement for a card she doesn't have. Someone's
using the card in her name and she reckons it's Candice or Maria, but it's
got to to be Cilla. Who else would go shopping at Sassy Girl and defraud
her own daughter?
Claire and Ashley finally get together as they make up and then wake
up under a post-coital duvet in the middle of th'afternoon. Claire still
has suspicions about Penny King when she overhears her and Mike planning
to meet while Fred's at the Offal Trader's Dinner and Dance. Claire
lets Penny know, in no uncertain terms, that she thinks she's leading Fred
a merry dance and should be ashamed of herself, ladeh. Penny retaliates
but she's fair had the wind knocked out of her sails and later admits to
Claire and Ashley what she's up to with Mike. She then puts Fred out
of his misery when they go out for dinner and Fred loses his appetite and
his smile.
Karl's bloke Robbie turns up, all bruises and scrapes from his fight
with Karl and finds Karl together with Martin on the street. Assuming Martin's
the bloke from work that Karl fancies, Robbie starts fighting with Martin
while Todd looks on and it's left to Sarah to sort the lot of them out.
With passion and tension between Todd and Karl pulled as tight as a 99p
Top-Shop thong, Karl decides he's got to move out of their flat as a room
becomes available in the nurse's home so off he goes. Todd tells himself
by way of telling Sarah their life will get back to normal now he's gone
- but it's unlikely things will ever be the same again (according to the
magazine I was reading over someone's shoulder on the Tube this afternoon).
Tracy calls in the family to babysit as she flits off to be a florist
in the precinct. Working again, she asks Ken to mind Amy and Blanche
is put out she hasn't been asked. When Tracy comes back home later
smelling of booze that she's drunk with her male colleague after work,
Deirdre's not happy and the whole happy maternal thing could start falling
apart soon.
For some reason there's been a storyline involving Maya and Dev and a
bagful of stolen watches he's hiding in the shop for his cousin Naveen.
It all seemed a bit pointless but there you go, it happened.
Fred's angry to hear things aren't going well in the Rovers. First
off Bev tells him she's ready to leave, she's unhappy that all this bother
is causing a rift between her and her daughter. Fred convinces her
to stay on, which she does but only just. With Shelley refusing to
help out behind the bar, Bev's bothered and doesn't do herself any favours
when she calls Betty "just a part time cook and barmaid". Betty, quite
rightly, pulled her cardie across her ample bosom and walked out. Then Bev
tries to turn the charm on Ciaran, it misfires and he walks out although
I'm not sure what upset Bev more. Was it the fact he said she'd had
more men than the Grand Old Duke of York or that she was a Desperate Old
Slapper? Your guess is as good as mine. Left on her own behind the
bar, Bev clearly can't cope and when Fred walks in and sees punters leaving
because they can't get served, he has a swift talk with Beverley and tells
her to pull herself together. In reply she tells him she's had enough,
she's done, she's leaving, she's outta there.
And that's just about that for this week.
