Right, here we go. Mike arrives back in Weatherfield after
his trip to Scotland to see Susan. Linda's confused and confides
in Geena that she knows something's up about Mike's whereabouts
but she's not sure whatabout. There's arguments galore in the
Barlow household with Ken blaming Deirdre who blames Dev who lays
it all squarely on the price of Tunnocks these days. (Fellow Tunnocks
fans - have you noticed how our caramel lovelies seem to turn
up in every soap these days? They're always in the corner shop
in Corrie, turn up often in Emmerdale and are now, yes, now have
a walk on part as Bickey, the loveable alcoholic scouse maniac
in Brookside). But I digress and it's back to the Barlow's where
there's a family conference about the future of young Adam. Ken
almost blows a fuse when Mike turns up to the meeting and is even
less pleased when Susan tells him she invited him there. It's
no good though, the two men just can't see eye to eye on this
matter and Susan has to talk to each of them seperately. When
she's at Mike's flat with him, in walks Linda, demanding to know
what's going on. After she's calmed down, Linda is surprisingly
philosophical about it all and tells Geena she'll do whatever
Mike wants to do about Adam. "I owe him a son," she
says, "I cost him one, didn't I?" So, things do seem
to have calmed down somewhat with Ken and Deirdre making up after
Dev apologised to Deirdre and hugged her around the meat pies.
After complaints from regulars in the Rovers, Mike and Duggie
have a chat and decide to change their minds about allowing kids
in the bar. Young David Platt isn't too happy when he goes in
there for a glass of his usual, only to be told to scarper, but
at least the adults seem happy again.
Anthony's problems continue this week when Amanda turns up
in the Rovers to interrupt his G&T with Rita, telling him
that her mother is ill in the nursing home. Anthony goes to the
home only to find that Isabelle is no worse than normal and realises
that it was another of Amanda's ploys to break up his relationship
with Reet of the Street. He's had enough and decides to move out
of Amanda's house and into Alec's old flat, you know, the one
with the connecting door to Rita's place. It seems an ideal situation
with Anthony telling Rita the privacy is ideal for those times
when: "I want to get out of your hair" (Why? There's
plenty of it). When she finds out about this, Amanda invites her
dad to dinner and Anthony tries to put his point of view forward
but Amanda's more assertive and won't let him have his say. To
be honest, this is such a difficult and sensitive situation, how
can there be wrong or right reactions? Having a grandmother who
has suffered, and continues to suffer, from Alzheimers for over
seven years, and to know the effect this has had on our family,
I know how both Anthony and Amanda feel. It's a very, very difficult
situation. While he's having dinner with his daughter, in walks
Anthony's son and brother in law to remind him of his duty to
his wife. It becomes clear to Anthony that the only way he can
continue his relationship with Rita without betraying his wife
is to divorce Isabelle.
Over at Eileen's, Dennis is getting on well with her lads.
They think they're putting one over on Dennis assuming he's too
thick to know better but he soon sorts them out and proves he's
fair, but firm. It's all working out well there....
... but it's not so harmonious further down the street as Danny
tackles some DIY and little Sophie gets injured when a bookcase
falls on her head. She's taken to hospital as a precaution and
no one thinks to tell Kevin about it, so naturally, when he finds
out, he's not best pleased to hear his daughter's been hurt. Danny
and Kevin start shouting and then fighting in the street and it's
obvious there's more at stake here than which of them is best
placed to look after the girls.
Roy and Hayley get a visit from that nice Mr Hartnell from
the fostering service. He tells them they're going to get their
firist child to look after, a 15 year old girl called Jackie who's
mum has had to go into hospital and she has no one else to look
after her. Hayley is straight round to the Kabin to buy some teen
magazines to find out what's uppermost in the minds of 15 year
old girls these days. Boys, Hayley, boys. And spots, but mainly
boys.
And finally, over at the health centre, there's a stinky poo
smell which turns out to be damp in the cellar. Doctor Ramsden
prescribes a visit to the Rovers to talk to Duggie Ferguson to
remedy the matter.
And that's your lot for this week.
