Sunita struggles to cope with the twins in the flat. Down below in the shop, Dev wants to play dad and is over the moon when Sunita lets him help with the babies. The wonderful Amber turns up and wants to be big sister to the bairns but Dev sends her away with a flea in her ear, he's got other children now. Shelley and Violet help out their mate as much as they can but Sunita decides it's too much to cope with the twins on her own and say's she's going back to Dev - out of duty not desire. Then her brother Jayesh comes round and talks her into moving back home with her mum so Sunita decides to do that instead - but hasn't yet told Dev.
Roy turns up to his school reunion (and the fact that ITV has just bought Friends Reunited has nothing do with this storyline, oh no). Trouble is, he's the only one who does turn up apart from Clifford, the organiser. Strange bloke, this Clifford. He's got an ASBO, injunctions and restraining orders against him from fellow school-mates and Roy's the only one that's spoken to him since 1975. So he's a bit of an odd-bod that even Roy feels comfortable being with, but he's too polite to say so. Clifford and the Croppers end up in the Rovers and when Clifford goes home in a taxi Roy tells Hayley that he hopes Clifford doesn't get in touch with him again. I don't think that's the last we've seen of him somehow.
Gail and Eileen have a stand-off at the bar of the Rovers over Sarah and Jason seeing each other again. Just when they're wondering if it's all over for their offspring, Sarah and Jason meet in the Rovers and have a kiss by the pumps. Meanwhile, Gail struggles with David this week when he finds out that Martin and Robyn are going to have a baby and he's feeling even more distanced from his dad. Phil tries to make friends with David again but he's not having it, too ravaged by hormones and family upheaval to know, or care, what trouble he's causing.
Sally finds out that Rosie's on the pill and is furious with her daughter, again. Kev takes a more physical approach to the situation, storms over the road, pins Craig to the cobbles and threatens him with hospital food. Sally decides to report Craig to the police for having underage sex with Rosie but there's not much the coppers can do. Undeterred, the young lovers continue seeing each other. Sally pins her remaining hopes on sending Rosie away on a school ski-ing trip where she'll get piste-off and dump Craig on her return.
There's overtime at Underworld and the gusset girls are happy. All except Jessie who has a crisis in the khazi. When she comes out she's dolled up in a trolley-dolley outfit. She's got a new job and leaves her knicker stitching mates at Underworld for the dizzy heights of life as an air hostess with Celestial Airlines. She reckons she'll be flying to Sunderland and Norwich. I don't know about Norwich but I can confirm that Sunderland hasn't had an airport since it was cleared to make way for the Nissan car plant, many years ago. As a by-the-by, when Karen McDonald left her job at Underworld she went to work for a posh furniture shop in town called "Attic". I tell you this for no other reason than I think it's interesting that when women leave the factory world of pants, they leave by reaching up to higher things, i.e. - Attic, Celestial Airlines and so on. Ok, maybe I need to get out more.
Ken takes Eccles for a walk in the park but when he throws the ball for the dog he runs away as Eccles goes chasing after it in another direction. Ken returns home trying to be downcast but Blanche sees through him straight away and knows what he's done. All's well in the end though when Deirdre comes home with Eccles in her arms. Ken sulks in his chair and Eccles bites him on the foot.
Liz comes back from her cruise with tales of sun, sand, sea and sailors. Fred's dismayed to see that Bev's not come back with her, I say, he's right downcast. Bev's ran off with a fella she met on the cruise and Shelley and Fred both miss her a lot. But Fred's got his mind on another woman already when he spots Orchid the Thai Bride (aka Stacy from the market) in hospickle when he goes there with Ashley who cuts his finger at work. Stacy's been badly beaten up in a scam that went wrong and it fair tugs Fred's heart-strings. He reveals all to Rita but keeps it quiet from Ashley. Rita's got some wise words for the burly butcher but will he listen? She tells him he's always been a sucker for a sob story and advises him to stay well clear of that Stacy one. It'll just end in tears.
Maria and Tyrone are interviewed by a hack from The Gazette for the Surprise the Bogie competition. Maria's all talk of hair-products and make-up while Tyrone's all car-parts and pies. The hack wonders what the pair of them are doing together and as Tyrone cleans out his chip van with Molly, their storyline seems to be wandering in the same direction.
And that's just about that for this week.
