Poor Percy! After reading in the tea-leaves about the man of her
dreams, both Maud and Phyllis realise their one true love is Percy.
Maud reminds him they almost got married once, and asks Percy
to marry her now. Percy says he'll have to think about it and
goes into the Rovers for a drink, where Phyllis corners him and
asks him to marry her! Percy thinks it's a joke that Maud and
Phyllis are having at his expense and storms out of the Rovers.
The corner shop is broken into as Maud couldn't put the burglar
alarm on so she left it off one evening. Maud and Maureen are
blaming each other for the break-in and arguing in the shop when
a prospective buyer comes in to have a look around. He tells them
he will come back when it's more convenient.
Jim and Bill decide to hand out some flyers advertising their
building business. Jim goes into the betting shop (where Liz used
to work) to hand out some flyers and notices a new girl working
there. He asks Sean Skinner why he got rid of Liz and appointed
a new person so soon. Sean tells Jim he's the wrong person to
ask, he should be asking Des the real reason she was sacked. Jim
asks Liz to tell him the truth but he loses his temper with her
and they end up shouting at each other once more. Liz tells Jim
that she didn't have an affair with Des, although they "were
close". Liz McDonald is now working as a barmaid in the Rovers,
and this makes things difficult when both Des and Jim come in
at the same time, after Liz and Jim's argument. Now it appears
that Liz has gone to stay with her mother for a while until things
settle down.
In the Rovers, Alf, Audrey and Fred the butcher start chatting
about Audrey's son who is coming to visit. After a couple of double
gins, Audrey starts fabricating stories about her past husbands
much to Fred's amusement and Alf's horror. Audrey's son Steven
arrives from Canada and Audrey meets him at the airport. Audrey
puts her foot in it when she mistakes Steven's business colleague
to be his girlfriend and then makes a fuss when he announces he
will be staying in an hotel. In the end, he gives in and goes
to stay with Alf and Audrey. Alf gets on well with Steven and
Audrey invites Gail and they all have dinner together. Steven
asks Gail how the "exclusive restaurant" she owns is
running, and they both laugh when Gail tells him it's only a greasy
spoon caff. Seems like Audrey has been telling white lies again!
Ken is left holding the baby. Gail recommends a childminder but
when Ken rings her, she doesn't have any places left so he asks
Sally if she can look after Daniel and Sally takes Daniel in with
instructions from Ken not to hand him over to Denise if Sally
should see her. Denise's sister Alison (me: could this be the
worst actress ever to appear on the Street?) calls to see Ken,
begging him to take Denise back so that Brian will come back to
her. Ken tells her he will never take Denise back. Alma goes to
see Ken to find out what has happened between him and Denise.
Mike Baldwin starts laughing when he finds out what Ken is going
through and says "He could never keep a woman", to which
Alma replies "At least he kept his son - unlike you!"
and that shuts Mike up. In the Rovers, Deidre is having a drink
with Alma and Mike and Mike tells her that Denise and Ken have
split up so Deidre goes to see Ken and offers him her help.
Racquel and Curly invite Ann (Curly's assistant from Bettabuys)
to dinner, along with Andy MacDonald. Andy and Anne don't get
on very well at first and things are strained between them until
Racquel tells Andy that Anne likes romantic literature, Bronte
etc., so Andy starts talking all flowery, which seems to impress
Ann. Vera and Jack are talking to Don and Josie in the Rovers
about Ivy. They are all having a laugh about Ivy when Vera gets
a shock, the necklace which Ivy had left her in her will opens
and falls down into her blouse. Jack, of course, offers to get
it out for her. Tricia gets out of prison, and there is quite
a heart warming scene when Deidre takes Jamie to meet her when
she is set free. Tricia is distraught after her experience in
jail and collapses, sobbing, into Deidre's arms.
