Danny wants an end to Frankie's fued with Leanne so invites her and Candice
round for dinner and drinks. It doesn't go well and Leanne ends up with
a face full of pizza after whacking tomato ketchup all over Frankie.
Danny recognises Frankie's spirit in Leanne and gets the pair of them to shake
hands, make up and agree to a fresh start.
Maria buzzes about footballer Stuart and makes a fool of Tyrone so when
she finds Stuart with another woman she's in tears to Liz back at the flat.
Tyrone walks in to find Maria all upset and asks her to marry him, to which
she agrees. I know, I know. When they announce their engagement
in the Rovers, Tyrone's ecstatic, Audrey's happy for them, Candice and Liz
are confused and the Duckie's are downhearted, especially Jack: "Don't be
a mug" he tells Tyrone. "What's the use of buying the dairy if all you ever
need is a pint of milk now and then?"
Sarah's new boyfriend Scooter is taken home to the Platts for tea and interrogation.
Scooter works with skips, seems a bit shy and that's as much as we know about
him for now. Expect more alliteration next week.
Dev's a bit disgruntled that his lovely new wife might be elected as president
of the retail association so decides to stand for nomination himself.
Fred, Norris and Roy feel such a male presence would be the right thing
to uphold the traders testosterone tradition. "Never mind testosterone!",
I hear you cry, dear reader. What's that? "Give me chocolate" I hear
you say? Oh, alright then. There, on the top of the shelves in the corner
shop were two whole boxes of Tunnocks wafers this week in all of their glory.
Gail's guessed Sally's secret (the alliteration this week's fairly flying
from my fingers) and while she says she'll not tell anyone, she's got that
smirk on her face that says she just might. Gail gets Sally to realise
that sleeping with the boss has become part of her job. "You mean I'm prostituting
myself?" says Sally.
Norris tries to get a book club up and running in the Rovers and starts
off badly by being insufferably pompous (Ken's words, not mine). The
intellectual elite are gathered round a table, there's Norris, Roy, Rita,
Blanche, Ken, Emily and er, Liz in laddered tights and short skirt wondering
when she can get stuck into her well thumbed copy of Lust at the Supermarket
Checkout (Part I: Luncheon Meat). Norris wants the book club to read
something intellectual, Roy wants factual, preferably involving trains and
Blanche needs large print whatever it is. While decisions refuse to
be made, Norris accuses Roy of forming a resistance party within the movement
and takes the huff.
Charlie's behaviour continues oddly towards Shelley and he throws a wobbly
when he finds her eating food with Sunita in the back room. He escapes to
the Weatherfield Arms where some woman comes up to him offering razor blades
for sale. She's got a cold sore on her mouth and looked as if she should have
had a dog on a string by her side. Charlie takes her outside and threatens
her to leave him alone. Anyway, Shelley wanders in to find Charlie and he
gives her some story about a brother he had who went around pubs selling razor
blades before he turned into a junkie. It's all very odd but Shelley believes
every word and as they hug at their table, Charlie looks over to Liz behind
the bar and gives her a wink.
And finally this week, it happened at last. As Tommy and Angie celebrate
their 20th wedding anniversay Katy breaks the news that they're going to be
grandparents. Threats of violence from Tommy to Martin are never carried
through but it doesn't half spoil their planned night out and they sit in
listening to Tommy's present from Angela, the CD version of The Specials'
first album because he'd lost the original LP over the years. (You and me
both, Tommy lad).
And that's just about that for this week.
