Deirdre! Wake up and smell the double decaf latte espresso
(you can tell I've been to the States). Jon gives Deirdre a gold
credit card and tells her to spend to her heart's content on items
for the new house. She blows over £3,000 in one afternoon
on furniture. While the couple are shopping for a new bed, Jon's
wife walks in the store, he spots her and gives her a line about
how he's buying her Xmas present and she really should go before
she spoils the surprise. When Liz confides in Deirdre about her
anxiety of growing old alone and her problems with ex husband
Jim, all Deirdre can do is enthuse about the power shower in the
spare bathroom and the look on Liz's face is priceless. Liz helps
Deirdre move into the new house by shipping all of Deirdre's wordly
goods in the back of her car in a couple of old cardboard boxes.
Alma and Mike pop round with a bunch of flowers, and Mike gets
extremely nosy, wanting to take a look around the house and wondering
who's paying for it all.
Zoe is back on the Street, demanding to see her baby so Judy
hides out at a shopping mall all day while Gary stalls Zoe at
he house and gives her £50 to get rid of her. She turns
her evil devil eyes on Gary and tells him "I'll be back".
Fred names the corner shop "Elliotts", a name of
quality and distinction, he feels. He appoints Ashley as the manager
and tells him not to be so gormless and get on and manage. When
Ashley wants to take on a new assistant, he asks Uncle Fred for
permission. Fred tells him to appoint whoever he chooses, make
his own decisions. Little does he realise that the new assistant
is Maude!
Ken is dressed up to the nines in the Rovers ready to take
on another date for Alec's escort agency. Jack has found out what
Alec and Ken are up to and wants a piece of the action too. For
Ken's next date, Alec leaves the details in an envelope with Samantha,
who ends up giving it to Jack, who decides to go on the date himself.
The details in the envelope are for Jack (alias Ken..) to meet
Mrs Turnbull and take her to a classical music concert. Jack turns
up at a posh hotel and meets the merry widow of a liquorice baron
who has more on her mind than chamber music. She drags him upstairs
(these men, they have no will power, poor souls) and just when
she thinks she's about to have her wicked way with him, Jack has
hopped it in his bathrobe, carrying his clothes. As he runs down
the hotel stairs, he leaves his shoe, Cinderella like on the stairs.
Les Battersby tries chatting up Samantha but Des is having
none of it and threatens Les outside of the Rovers. Later that
night, someone smashes all the windows of Des' car and the obvious
suspect is Les but he denies all. The next night, we see someone
throw a brick through Des' living room window and again, the suspect
is Les.. but perhaps it's Sam's disgruntled husband who did threaten
a while ago that we hadn't seen the last of him.
Natalie is back behind the bar of the Rovers. Rita and Sally
go in for a drink and Natalie tries to make conversation but Rita
cuts her dead. "I was only trying to be pleasant" says
Natalie. "Well don't" replies Rita "It doesn't
suit you".
Judy wants to have baby Katie christened and asks Samantha
and Des to be godparents. Samantha accepts but Des declines on
account of the fact that he isn't a Christian, so Judy asks Curly
instead, who agrees. Gary doesn't think that having the baby christened
is a good idea but agrees to keep Judy happy.
Sally and Chris are still at it, with Chris creeping in and
out of the back door after Sally's put the girls to bed on an
evening. Chris wants to tell Kevin about their relationship but
Sally doesn't want him to know just yet.
And that's that for this week.
Glenda :-)
