Remember everyone coming out in spots last week after Sam had
bought cheap hand soap? Well, it's Dennis who figures it out but
Sam doesn't own up to the fact that he bought the stuff cheap
from his uncle Pat, leaving Tyrone to assume the stuff was bought
from Danny's shop. He lets Danny know he's not best pleased that
his hand soap almost caused him and Maria to break off the engagement
and dumps the Greaso in the middle of Danny's pie and chips in
the cafe. And things get worse for Danny this week when Sally
returns from her sister's place up north. She's not too happy
that Danny and Kevin are arguing over the kids and tells Kevin
he has to trust her judgement, as the girls mother, that she wanted
to leave the kids with Danny. Kevin, as the girls father, tells
her what he thinks of her judgement.
Over at the Baldwins, there's a dinner party in full swing
as Linda and Mike entertain Geena and Dev (with the help of Delphines
outside catering). As the two women go off to Linda's bedroom
to look at frocks and bitch about men, Dev comes clean with Mike
and tells him what Deirdre told him not to tell him. Mike's stunned,
as you'd expect and after getting Susan's address from an unsuspecting
Blanche, he's straight off to Scotland. He tells Linda he's off
to a trade show in Glasgow and Linda (wearing a bra under her
dressing gown that not only lifts and separates but puts her boobs
on different sides of the Pennines) believes him. So, Mike arrives
in Glasgow at a house so posh the address of which can only be
No. 1, The Castle, Scotland, demanding to see Adam but Susan's
having none of it. She immediately calls Peter, asking to know
who told Mike after everyone promised they'd keep schtum. Finally,
Susan agrees to see Mike and explains why she told him she'd had
an abortion all those years ago: "I don't think I ever wanted
to get rid of that baby. I wanted to get rid of you". Mike's
in turmoil, emotional and weak; the pair of them talk things over
and Susan agrees that Mike can see Adam. She'll call him next
week and bring him to Weatherfield. Meanwhile, back at the Barlows,
Peter and Ken wonder how Mike could have found out about Adam
- and of course Deirdre has no option but to own up to the truth.
She confronts Dev, who admits everything and Deirdre has to go
home to face a harsh, but deserved, ticking off from Ken.
Roy and Hayley have a meeting with the foster people at the
council and are over the moon to find out they've been approved
as suitable foster parents. Hayley wants to get stuck in to decorating
the spare room while Roy is more cautious and admits he feels
somewhat scared: "I'm just not used to being accepted".
After a few sage words from Rita about the perils and joys of
taking other people's kids into their lives, their homes and their
hearts, they celebrate with a couple of orange juices in the Rovers.
Also in the Rovers this week, it looks like this idea of letting
children in there with their parents has started to cause some
problems. Kids are running around, throwing crisps at each other
and constantly replaying the same record on the jukebox (which
I,ve been told is called 'Who let the Dogs Out?' but as any SAFC
fan worth their salt will know, the words are actually "Who
let the toon doon? Shear-er! Shear-er!"). Anyway, Duggie
starts to wonder if kids in the pub are a good idea after David
loosens the lid on the salt cellar so that it pours all over Kevin's
pie and chips at dinner time. And it gets too much for Betty to
bear when David heads for the bar with his pal and Martin in tow
and demands at the bar "Two colas over here when you're ready
Betty love, and whatever he's having". Annie Walker wouldn't
have stood for it, that's for sure.
Jack and Vera are back from their cruise this week, to their
own little house, Vera's new kitchen and a decent cup of tea.
What they don't know is that while they were away, Tyrone and
Maria had Toyah and Sam around for dinner and a plastic bowl melted
all over Vera's new oven. Fortunately, it's all sorted out - just
- by the time Jack and Vera arrive back in the house. Sadly, it
looks like the Corrie writers have nothing better to do with Toyah
these days than to possibly pair her up with slimeball Sam. Stop
it now, I won't have it, she deserves much, much better.
And that is just about that for this week.
