It's Des' funeral and his family travel from Hartlepool. Des'
brother, Colin tells Natalie he knows the real reason that Des
was killed as Des had called him last week to tell him about Tony
and the trouble he was into with drugs. Understandably, Colin
is bitter and angry with Natalie for keeping quiet about it all,
especially when he realises all the neighbours have been fed a
story by Natalie and they all think Des died fending off two burglers
who broke into the house. At the church, Colin causes a scene,
says it's all lies about the way Des died and walks out. Later
in the Rovers where the funeral tea or whatever it's called is
laid on, Colin loses his temper with Natalie and shouts out to
everyone in the pub that Tony was a drug dealer and Des died because
of Tony, urging Natalie to accept the truth. She denies it all
and the neighbours believe her. However, she confides in Judy
Mallett later at home asking her to keep the secret. Nat goes
back to work in the Rovers the day after the funeral but Alec
persuades her to go home after Fred complains that "Natalie
has a face as long as a banana on a stick" and is fair putting
people off their beer, I say, off their beer.
Talking about Fred - he invites himself to Audrey's for Christmas
day dinner. He's raffling a hamper full of comestibles and treats
and makes sure Audrey will win the hamper by giving her the winning
ticket!
Jackie is causing Deirdre a few problems. Looks like Les Battersby
has his glad eye on Jackie and she takes him back to Deidre's
after a few drinks together in the Rovers. Jackie tells Les his
fortune by reading his palm and he offers to help her physically
by "making up for lost time" when she was in the nick.
After Des' funeral, he persuades Janice to go back to work and
invites Jackie over to their house for a quick one. Anyway, Les
dims the lights and sets the mood and as Jackie walks in the back
door, Janice comes down the stairs. She hadn't gone back to work
at all, she'd been upstairs asleep and had woken up when she heard
Les come in. Jackie makes a quick exit and Janice tells Les she
wants him to leave, but quickly relents and lets him stay after
he begs of her "do you think I was going to do what you thought
I was going to do, on the day of a mate's funeral?". Back
at Deirdre's flat, Jackie's son Tyrone makes himself comfortable
on the sofa with one of those irritating, bleeping computer toys.
Jackie explains to Deidre that her son also needs a place to stay
and tells Tyrone not to steal any of Deidre's things, the two
of them are there to make the most of a good thing while it lasts.
Zoe is angry after she finds Leanne and Nick listening to her
Nirab cassette tape, it's all one big "ummm" if you
ask me but Zoe thinks it'll bring her closer to Shannon. And all
for just 15 pounds. She tells Ashley there'll be "no more
of what you call loving" because he's not one of the Nirab
lot and doesn't understand. Ashley is becoming increasinly concerned
about Zoe, especially after Gary tells him that Ruth and Ben had
talked to Judy in the street and told her the best place for her
unborn babies was the next world, not this one. Ashley asks Zoe
if he can go along to one of the Nirab meetings with her and she
agrees although Ruth and Ben aren't best pleased when he turns
up uninvited by either of them. He sits around the table with
the rest of them umming and ahhing and walks out saying "it's
not right, not normal". And so say all of us.
Leanne feels she isn't seeing as much of Nick as she'd like
now that he's working evenings at the college. So, she goes to
the college to surprise him when he comes out of class. What she
finds is Nick and his female tutor getting into her car together
and she goes home and waits for him, tapping her fingers, probably.
Nick explains it's just his teacher and his class had all gone
to the pub to celebrate someone's birthday. If that is true or
not, I don't know. I don't know if there's anything going on between
Nick and the tutor as I haven't yet been able to catch up on events
while I was away.
Roy and Hayley audition for the Weatherfield Operatic Society.
Roy, nervous before the audition, has a whisky in the Rovers and
at the audition gives a so-so rendition of Singing in the Rain.
Both are accepted to join the operatic society and will be in
the next production, The Sound of Music.
Sally and Greg stamp around the tiny flat grumping at each
other. Greg wants more money from Sally and fool that she is not
only gives him full access to her bank account by passing over
her cashpoint card, she also agrees to open a joint account with
him (using only her money!).
Les is rushed into hospital with a bad foot which turns out
to be osteosomethingorother, apparantly quite serious and he has
to have injections whilst laid up in a hospital bed. Of course,
he's milking it for all it's worth, eyeing up the nurses and he
rings Jackie to tell her he's in hospital but she thinks it best
not to visit him. He's hoping to get some miniature bottles of
booze smuggled in past the observant eye of Nurse Platt (does
that man attend EVERY patient who is ever admitted to hospital
from Coronation Street?). Martin has to give Les a bed bath (not
a pleasant thought) but is saved in the nick of time when Janice
comes to visit with a bag of fruit.
Glenda ;-)
