There’s high tension in a smoke haze at the Barlow household. The place
is a fug of fag smoke and red wine as Deidre and Ken fall out over the
fall-out from Tracy going to jail. Deirdre makes a new house rule and
starts smoking indoors while Ken potters around in his dressing gown and
slippers. Both of them are old enough to know better, but neither of them
care and the insults start flying with Deidre accusing Ken: “Sometimes
you sound just like that bloke with the pointy ears from Star Trek”. Ouch.
Blanche takes herself off to her mate’s house for two weeks, leaving the
Barlows to bicker. Even Peter tries to get Adam to head off to Portsmouth
with him and leave the cobbles behind. Tracy sends a visiting order for
Ken who insists Deirdre goes to visit her with him. Tracy plays her hand
but it’s been overdone and Ken refuses to stump up yet more cash for a
hotshot barrister to lead her appeal. It’ll be Legal Aid or nowt, he tells
her, so she squeezes out the tears in the name of little Amy but Ken refuses
to be moved this time.
Melanie and Jonathan Morton, new twins of the parish, plan their 18th
birthday party this coming week. The guest list includes Bookers, Braddy,
Mad Harry and the fit Goth from The Wethy Arms. Young Kayleigh has moved
back in with mother Theresa who’s not proving as saintly as her name might
suggest. Theresa’s gone and left young Kayleigh and the even younger (and
so cute) Finlay home alone with no food while she swans off on her jollies
and it’s left to Jerry to rescue his kids and bring them into the clan on
the cobbles. Space is tight in the Morton household so it’s just as well
little Finlay wants to set up tent in the garden.
Janice leads Joanne in a revolt at the factory over the Polish workers.
She calls the cops and reports Underworld for recruiting illegal workers
but when the cops come calling, it’s Joanne they nab for being an extra-terrestrial
and take down to the cop shop for working in the UK without papers, not
even allowing her to phone home. Joanne gets a grilling from a lady copper
who’s got eyebrows that look surprised to be on her face. Janice is beside
herself with worry when Joanne gets taken away and has to confess to the
Connors that it was she who called the cops.
Steve wonders how best to tell little Amy that her mummy has gone away
to the big house for smashing in uncle Charlie’s head. He tells her, for
now, that Tracy’s with Edie McRedie in Balamory which could in fact be
worse than being locked up in prison for 15 years, who knows? Steve’s being
wonderfully tender with little Amy and reads her stories in the back room
of the pub. Michelle hovers by the door then tells Steve she wasn’t listening
(she was) and does her best to guide him through Single Parenting 101.
Liz tells Vernon she wants his drum kit moved, not only out of Amy’s
bedroom but out of the pub. He’s distraught! How will he ever fit in a
premature paradiddle now?
Bill Webster decides to buy Charlie Stubbs’ builder’s yard and asks
Kevin to go into partnership with him as Webster and Son. Kev’s unsure but
willing to let the free beer decide for him until Sally gets wind of it
and tells Kev they’re not getting involved. Bill’s still keen to set up
on his own so Audrey says she’ll put up the money and buy the business for
him. “She should be sitting around knitting bad jumpers and drinking
cup-a-soups” sighs Sarah when she hears about her grandmother not acting
to type for her age, yet again. And let’s face it, we wouldn’t want Audrey
any other way - growing old disgracefully, or not at all.
Sophie starts singing at home, hoping to be picked for a part in the
school production of Bugsy Malone. When Chesney tells Cilla he wants to
join the cast, she worries that her son might be of a musical bent. Chesney
tells Sophie he doesn’t know if he’s got enough charisma to star in the
show, although admits he’s not really sure what charisma is. “If you have
to ask, you haven’t got it” Sophie replies with the confidence of someone
who has.
And finally this week, it was round two in the golfing competition
with Paul Connor losing yet again. He might have had the shiniest club
and the worst jumper, but he lost to Dev (in his pimped-up golf shoes)
and Steve (in his Rupert the bear jumper) as the three guys hit the green
again.
And that’s just about that for this week
