Right, so, Tommy wants to know who this Jimmy-fella is that daughter
Katy is seeing and he rings him on Katy’s mobile – only for it to be answered
by Tyrone. He’s covering for Katy who obviously doesn’t want her parents
to know she’s dating Martin. Tommy marches straight over to the
garage and gives Tyrone a thumping beside the big end and crumples his gears.
Tyrone isn’t best pleased, as you can imagine, and tells Katy he doesn’t
want to get involved with her dating problems any more. Nevertheless (and
there’s a word I’ve not used in an update before), Tyrone does get further
involved when Tommy says he’ll agree to Katy’s new relationship if she brings
Tyrone home for a civilised tea. Katy begs Tyrone to keep covering for her,
so he turns up for tea and is as polite as Katy is embarrassed by the whole
thing. Martin and the kids return from their camping holiday and he
tells Katy he wants their families to know their secret so they don’t have
to lie any more. Enthused by this, they have a snog and a shag.
Bev wants Tracey out of the Rovers before Peter and Shelley return from
honeymoon. With nowhere to live and sacked from the bookies by Sally, Emily
finds Tracey moping about on the street and takes her indoors, where Tracey
tells her she’s pregnant (possible) and that it’s Roy’s (hardly likely
- could it be Wally’s or could it be Steve’s?). For reasons best known to
herself, Tracey says it’s Roy’s baby and tells Emily she’s going to have
an abortion. Emily reminds her, in a sort of non-judgemental way,
of her kidney transplant years earlier when the doctors told her that fertility
may be affected. If she gets rid of this baby then she may not have
another chance to breed in the future. For which, perhaps, we should only
be grateful. There was a great line from Vera this week, talking
about top-tart-Tracey: “She were wearing a top down to here showing next
week’s washing”. Meanwhile Roy is beside himself with nerves
as the return of Hayley draws near. Jack advises that honesty is
never the best policy and he should lie through his teeth to his missus,
something that Roy never would or could do. When Hayley returns he’s
straight with her, in a roundabout way. He builds up the story, slowly
and carefully, omitting no detail and then comes straight out with the
climax: “I had relations with Tracey”. Hayley’s face faded to the
adverts and next week’s update.
A prison mate of Les Battersby’s is about to be released. Before he
leaves, Les tells him what happened with Emma and Mick and his mate offers
to sort Emma out for him, nothing dangerous, just summat a bit dodgy.
So when Curly gets Mr Pool at the door offering to buy their house he’s
overjoyed and starts to plan his move up to Newcastle to join Emma.
All seems to be going well, Mr Pool sends his “surveyor” round to case
the joint, sorry, measure up, but he soon scarpers when Emma returns
for the weekend and he spies a policewoman coming into the house. Anyway,
Mick notices Mr Pool leaving the house and recognises him as Archie Scanlon,
petty crook and general ne’er do well of the parish. He breaks the bad news
to Emma and Curly who confront Mr Pool the next time he comes round to view
the house. After a conversation with him that involves Rustling Pigeons
and the East European Housing Cartel (and what a great name for a skiffle
band that would make), Inspector Watts of Northumbria Police tells Mr Pool
to clear orf.
Karen got her job back at Underworld this week after Steve twisted Mike’s
arm, knowing he was in dire need of a machinist to keep his capitalist empire
from crashing and burning. Janice and Fiz and a non-speaking extra
who is now allowed to speak give Karen a hard time but she’s as tough as
old boots that Karen one, she’ll survive.
And Sally sent Rosie off to stage school this week after Rita gave her
a contact in the business.
And that’s just about that for this week.
