Leanne and Nick arrive back from Canada full of news that Steven
is getting married next weekend and has sent return tickets for
Audrey and Gail to fly over for the wedding. When Audrey tells
Alma that Steven is getting wed, Alma lowers her eyes and tells
Audrey to give him her best wishes. Awh! Fred sees Audrey off
and there's quite a tender moment when he tells her, not in so
many words, that he'll miss her when she's gone, I say, she'll
be missed. Awh! again.
Leanne is taken aback when she goes back to work in the Kabin
only to find Sharon behind the counter. She's even less best pleased
when Rita announces she's off to visit Mavis in Cartmel for a
few days and will be leaving Sharon in charge of the shop. Rita
and Nita, the lady shopkeepers, compete for business by staying
open all hours, and the Kabin starts selling a few groceries to
win customers. When Nita finds out the Kabin is selling bread
for 5p less than her corner shop, she reduces the price immediately
and guarantees all her prices will be lower than those in the
Kabin.
Janice and Les have their electricity cut off after Les has
been drinking away the money Janice gave him to pay the bill.
She also finds out he hasn't been paying the rent and there's
bills mounting up too - the gas, the catalogue, it's all happening.
Les climbs up on to Jacqui's roof next door, hoping to tap into
her electricity supply but he climbs down again after she threatens
to pull away the ladder and says she knows what he's up to. Janice
asks Leanne to loan her some money to clear the debts, but Nick
is against using his inheritance from grandad Alf to give to Janice
for Les to drink away. However, Leanne later offers Janice £200
from their joint building society account, as long as Nick doesn't
find out. Janice tells Les the money is a sub on wages from Mike
Baldwin, the bills are sorted out and an electricity card meter
is fitted in their house. Les gets some sort of work from Charlie
West and does some DJ'ing to earn some cash also.
Deirdre's mum, Blanche does a moonlight flit when Emily takes
her back to the old folk's home in her car without so much as
a nod to Deirdre. Deirdre and Ken discuss Blanche's disappearance
over a drink in the Rovers, moaning about the fact that Blanche
tried to get them back together again. And to discuss it further,
they arrange to go out for a night together too. Even Emily suggests
that Ken and Deirdre could do a lot worse than end up together,
again.
Natalie goes out for dinner with rat-bag Ian (Sharon's fiance).
Natalie, being an old slapper and having seen a bit of action
in her time, suspects that Ian is married. When she questions
him, he comes clean (well, sort of) and tells her he's engaged,
but doesn't say who he's engaged to, and Natalie doesn't know
- yet. After the dinner, he sends her a bouquet of flowers and
Betty is all of a dither, wondering who Natalie's mystery man
is.
Weatherfield Vale is inspected by social services and when
Martin hears about it, he's over the moon. He knows it's got nothing
to do with Audrey because he asked her before she went to Canada
if she'd arranged an inspection and she said she hadn't got around
to it but she'd sort it out when she returned. Anyway, the manager
of the old folks home gets Martin into his office and sacks him
after wrongly assuming it was Martin who got the visit arranged.
Kevin takes Alison for a long pub lunch and Sally is off to
the wholesalers when the call comes in, to Martin, that little
Rosie has had an accident at school and has been taken to hospital.
Martin goes to the hospital to look after Rosie and when Sally
and Kevin arrive back on the street, she blasts Kevin for having
his mobile phone switched off. Legally, he's responsible for the
girls during the week and the hospital has his mobile phone number
to contact him in emergency. So, they both rush to hospital where
Rosie is okay but will be kept in overnight for observation, and
both of them blame the other for not being there for their daughter.
And finally this week, the new cafe - Roy's Rolls is due to
open. Toyah and Hayley lend Roy a hand in getting the place ready
when Gail flies off to Canada. Before they go to bed that night,
Hayley gets her tights snagged on a nail sticking out of the skirting
board, so she pulls the nail out - and strangely, very strangely,
this floods the cafe - the nail had gone through a water pipe.
It's chaos the next morning when Roy and Hayley wake up to discover
what's happened and Roy is screaming for Steve McDonald's blood.
The plumber arrives and fixes the pipe, but it turns out that
it was Gary Mallett who put the nail through the pipe in the first
place - so Steve makes Gary help Roy put the place straight, although
doesn't let on to Roy that it was all Gary's fault.
Glenda ;-)
