This week's update written by Barry Smith as Glenda was away.
Now that Leanne has regained conciousness the police interview
her, but she tells them she has no idea who did the robbery. As
soon as the police have left, the evil Jez, who has been lurking
in the corridor, goes in to see her and tells her that he'll forget
about the money that she owes him as long as she doesn't grass
him up. Leanne returns to the Rovers and wants to go back to work
immediately, but Natalie insists that she rests some more until
she's fully over her trauma and puts an advert in the newly refurbished
Kabin (now offering dry cleaning, film processing and coach trips)
for some part-time help behind the bar. Unaware of his daughter's
real involvement with the robbery, Les is a proud father and contacts
the local paper to get some publicity in the hope that someone
can help identify the perpetrators. Meanwhile, Toyah suspects
the involvement of Jez and quizzes Steve about it and gets abruptly
told to leave it alone. She hints to Les that her sister has been
hanging around with some really dodgy characters and so Les too
goes in search of Steve who points the finger in Jez Quigley's
direction. When he mentions him to Leanne, he gets a very short
'No, don't' from her, so he goes off in search of him. In one
of the pubs he goes into to ask about him, he is thrown out by
a landlord who says he doesn't want his kind in the pub and Les
realises that this Jez is a really nasty piece of work. When Leanne
goes back to work, everybody from Fred to Gail congratulates her
on the way she fought off her attackers. All this indeserved praise
gets too much for her and she runs out of the bar and into the
back room. Natalie follows her and tearfully, Leanne tells her
everything. Having been through it all before with her son Tony,
Natalie gets very angry with Leanne and tells her to get out of
her sight.
Having thought things over and talked it through with Nita,
Linda accepts Mike's proposal and no time is lost in purchasing
a large solitaire for her finger, which gets flashed to all and
sundry in the factory and the pub, including Alma of course who
is clearly upset by the revelation. Mark is unhappy with the situation
and threatens Linda with telling Mike about their fling on the
factory floor, but she is more than a match for him and asks him
who he thinks Mike, or even the police, would believe.
Rebecca issues Martin with an open invitation to call round
to her flat and to her surprise, he wastes no time in taking her
up on her offer as they indulge a passionate (though surprisingly
not very sweaty) session together, even though they both know
that it is wrong. Rebecca tells him that her eyes are wide open,
she knows what she's getting into and she doesn't want to be possessive
and they get down to business again. Martin doesn't like the deceit
required to continue their relationship, but wants to carry on
anyway.
Rita meets Alison outside the Kabin and tells her she's pleased
to see her back and that her lips are sealed. All her old workmates
from the factory are pleased to see her too and Linda pulls some
strings with the boss to get her her old job back. In the meantime
though, Kevin has been talking to Gary, who is looking for somebody
to look after the twins, until he can get a place for them in
a council nursery and suggests Alison. When he tells her, she
tells him about the factory job, but she is really pleased that
he had no qualms about her looking after children. Sensing a change
in their relationship, Kevin pops the question again and this
time Alison accepts. When they tell Sally about their engagement,
she is glad for them, but when they tell her that Alison is pregnant,
she is less glad and confides in Gail that she is worried that
the new baby will result in Kevin forgetting the two children
he already has.
Duggie is trying hard to sell new units in the Victoria Street
development and although he's making a nice profit from the builders,
Roy is concerned about the possibility of competition from other
catering establishments. Duggie couldn't care less and will let
them to anyone as long as he can turn a profit. He tries to rent
one to Dev, who isn't interested, but Dev has other worries. An
old girlfriend, Amy, from Birmingham has turned up and he makes
it clear that she is not welcome, before throwing her out of the
corner shop. She still loves him and gets in quite a state, ending
up in tears out on the street. A helpful Norris takes her to the
Rovers to calm down and cheer up and when she asks Natalie for
a job she is taken on immediately.
Natalie has been acting a little cold towards Vinny since he
revealed he had a daughter, but they talk about it and Vinny tells
her that when he went round to see her on New Year's Eve, she
didn't want to know him. They make up and over breakfast, Vinny
suggests that they go on holiday, but Natalie is not yet convinced
that it's a good idea.
Jim invites Gwen round for Sunday dinner, so he does and opens
up to her about his accident and his ex-wife running away with
his physiotherapist. In turn Gwen shocks him by telling him that
her husband used to hit her. Jim is very uncomfortable about the
revelation and the evening finishes abruptly without even a goodnight
kiss. Jim talks to Steve about it and he surprisingly suggests
that his father is honest with her and explain about the time
he hit Liz. When Gwen comes round to try and clear the air, he
does this and after a heated argument, she storms out after telling
him she never wants to be involved in a violent relationship again.
Bye bye
