He's back! Nicky Platt saunters in through the front door of Gail
and Martin's house as casually as if he'd only returned after
popping out to the chip shop. Gail is ecstatic of course, especially
after she was called to the local hospital to identify a boy's
body which she feared could be Nick. Martin is less enthusiastic
about Nick's return, and he wonders what his motive was for returning.
He wants to know the full details about Nick's disappearance and
so do the police.
Kevin and Tony are celebrating their partnership with dinner at
the Webster's house when in walks Don, bitter and furious (as
usual). He tells them both he hopes they'll lose all of their
money, their homes, everything, after investing in the garage.
Sally is also still unhappy about the partnership and sulks more
than usual this week.
Anne (the Ice Maiden) announces to Andy, at work, that she's found
her ideal house in her lunch break and is going to buy it. Andy
tells her that if she is going to make decisions like this without
consulting him, then he doesn't want to be a part of the relationship.
However, they make up later on and tell Jim they're moving in
together.
Alec takes Joyce off to the Lake District for the Bank Holiday
Weekend but tells her to keep it quiet, he doesn't want the rest
of the street to know. After leaving Joyce's dog, Scamper, with
Judy and Gary, they set off for a really posh hotel in the Lakes.
Joyce is taking advantage of Alec at the hotel, she puts in her
dry cleaning and clothes mending, and phones Australia a couple
of times from her room. With Joyce wearing her petticoat (funny
how middle age women wear petticoats isn't it, guess I've got
it to look forward to) she opens her bedroom door and it's Alec,
they both get a bit embarrassed. Alec tells her "If I wanted
to get my leg over, I'd have borrowed your Gary's motorbike".
Judy and Gary are having problems in the bedroom and I don't think
they're arguing about the curtains.... Judy thinks that Gary is
eyeing up Samantha as a reaction to the fact that he is keen to
have and she doesn't want to have a baby. Judy confides in Vera,
after Vera calls time on a fight that was brewing between Judy
and Samantha behind the bar of the Rovers. When Gary complains
to Vera that Judy makes more of a fuss over Scamper than she does
over him, Vera tells him that Judy is probably getting out her
paternal instincts (!) by fussing over the dog.
Ken Barlow is clearly enjoying his 6 week vacation from teaching
over the summer - we only see him either walking to or walking
from the Kabin to buy his newspaper.
Claire tells Des she needs space. Oh dear. Des has had enough
experience of being dumped to know that when a woman asks for
space, it's the end. Sean Skinner calls in to see Des and offers
his words of wisdom about women, but this from a man who was chatting
up Liz McDonald in the Rovers this week? Des calls round to see
Claire at her parents-in- law's house and of course, Claire isn't
there so he gets chatting to her parents in law who seem really
nice people and they tell Des all about Claire's husband (their
son) who died. Claire comes in, and is rather upset when she sees
Des there and is really nasty to him and he walks out, which I
can't blame him for doing, I would have done the same thing. Later,
Des storms home in a bad mood only to find Claire and Becky at
his doorstep with their suitcases, ready to move in with him.
As Claire flings her arms round Des' neck and Becky shouts an
exasperated "Mu-hum!", Granada did that thing, you know,
when they start the Coronation Street theme earlier than they
normally do, to signal an important event, and my eyes just welled
up with tears.
