In Blackpool at the Hortons house, Jack and Vera put two and
two together and realise Gary was the modest hero who saved the
young lad from drowning on the beach. A journo turns up to get
the whole story and Vera unwittingly tells him more than she should
about Gary - and Judy. Anyway, when Gary reads the piece, he wrongly
assumes Paula has been talking to the press and storms off down
the pier to give her a piece of his mind. Vera apologises to Gary
after the journalist tells him how he got the story, and Gary
finally makes things up with Paula, after a little chat with Jack
about how he feels hes betraying Judys memory. Jack tells him
to do it, so he does and the pair of them go out for dinner at
a posh restaurant. The newspaper is picking up the tab for the
meal so the journo assumes he can hang around for a decent picture
but he fair puts the two of them off their food. They decide to
leave before pudding and have a kiss by the donkeys on Blackpool
sands. Elsewhere in Blackpool, Vera and Norris are tripping the
light fandango in the tower ballroom. Veras enjoying every minute
with Norris, an expert dancer. I never knew you had it in yer,
she tells him. Neither did I! he replies. Anyway, theres a dance
contest later in the week and Norris gets chatted up by quickstep
dancing, sparkly sandal wearing Celeste Pickersgill. Norris soon
decides hes going to enter the contest with his new lady friend,
a much better dancer than his original partner, much to Vera's
disappointment.
So when Gary and Paula are out wining and dining and Jack and
Vera are out seeing something on the pier (probably Chubby Brown,
or The Nolans, at a guess), Tyrone and Maria have the house to
themselves, after offering to stay in and babysit the twins. Maria
wants to get passionate and offers up her dignity to Tyrone, who
refuses it. He was hoping for a couple of hours playing cards
and tells Maria hes not ready to have sex, not yet; he wants to
wait until hes legally wed.
Mikes back at the flat, home from the hospital and Linda takes
charge of looking after his diet for him - no whisky, no cigars,
no cheesy puffs, no pies and none of them little chocolate things.
Fred pops round for a man to man chat and wonders if Mikes heart
is up to the romance of dating such a determined young filly as
Linda. Back at the Rovers, Fred bumps into Alma and tells her
about Mike. Shes upset - both at hearing about Mikes attack but
also that no one else had told her before now. She goes round
to the flat to see her ex-spouse and the two of them have a comfy
chat until Linda comes in - all insecure and nasty to Alma. Later
in the Rovers, Linda has to face the wrath of Blanche as she defends
Alma and Mikes friendship. Whats this then? asks Linda, The old
bags union or summat? Yes says Blanche It is. And we all stick
together so just you watch out. More continuance of the Mike/Mark/Linda
sex triangle (sextangle?) with Mark not knowing if hes coming
or going, Linda coming everywhere, nothing getting sorted and
viewers getting bored.
Kens quite chuffed at having been offered a job at the Weatherfield
Gazette as a freelance columnist. Blanche wonders (out loud, very
loud) what on earth her supermarket working, trolley pushing son
in law could possibly have to say to the masses, but this doesnt
deter him at all.
Roy holds the first of his Homewatch meetings in the cafe.
Its a chance for the neighbours to unite and talk through security
issues in light of the recent burglaries. They invite PC Emma
who offers to come along to talk to everyone, but when she doesnt
arrive, they wonder what shes up to, and comment on the fact that
policemen look younger these days and that some of them even look
like women. Anyway, the reason that Emma misses the meeting is
that shes too busy catching the burglars, with the help of Curly
and Les, as Curlys house is in the process of getting burgled
as she returns there to pick up something to take to the meeting
with her. Next day, as Emma is given a heros breakfast by Roy
in the cafe, Curly gets all protective about his Wonder Woman
and muses on the inherent dangers of her job. She tells him she
loves her job and doesnt want to discuss it any further. Fair
cop.
The lovely Spider offers to stay with Aunty Em for a few nights
after her break- in, but when Em notices theres some tension between
him and Toyah, she insists on Spider going straight back to the
flat to stay with Toyah instead. It seems as if the first green
bits of whiffy mould are starting to grow on the organic, wholemeal,
free range egg on toast that was Spider and Toyahs love thing.
