I'd quite like to report that the Battersby's have settled
in well and are getting on with the neighbours - but alas, they
haven't and they're not. Despite some good acting from the chap
who plays dad Les, I still can't see why this gruesome lot have
been let loose on a show like Coronation Street. Upset with the
amount of noise from their new neighbours, Percy and Emily complain
to the council who tell them to start recording in a book details
of the mayhem the new family are causing "I've filled in
32 pages in 2 days" moans Percy. They enlist Ken to tell
the Battersby clan to keep the noise down but all Ken gets is
a load of abuse and the door slammed in his face. Curly also joins
the small band of protestors, and he finally seems to get co-operation
when they promise to turn off the music at 9pm each evening. Curly
takes to bed to catch up on lost sleep only to be woken at 10pm
when they turn the racket back on. It's too much for Curly to
take, he's had enough of the lot of them and storms next door,
banging on the Battersby's front door, storms upstairs and throws
their CD player out of the window, smashing it on the cobbles.
Les is just coming home and sees Curly damaging the CD player,
and he head butts him - poor Curly. In the cafe, Bill Webster
spots Roy's new drill and recognises it as the one he had stolen
by Les Battersby. Les agrees to refund Roy the money he paid for
the stolen drill but only gives him £10 instead of the £50
Roy has paid. For this new family to be thieves, liars, cheats,
and violent is too much already. For them to belittle characters
like Roy and be violent against Curly is beyond the pale.
Sally comes back to the Street. Kevin thinks his luck is in
and prepares dinner for Sally with (hopeful..) white wine, but
when Sally arrives back home, she orders Kevin out of the house
and he wanders morosely down the back lane all the way to his
dad's place where he's staying for a while. Meanwhile, Natalie
arrives at Sally's house, expecting to see Kevin, she doesn't
yet know that Sally is back home! When Sally answers the door,
Natalie is more than a little surprised and Sally is very cool
towards Natalie, who starts to walk away from the house when she
finds out Kev isn't there. But Sally isn't finished with her yet.
"Oh Natalie..?" she coos, all innocent like. "Yes?"
says Natalie, turning to face Sally - only to receive a big slap
across her chops from Sally. The nation cheered - at least it
did in our house. Natalie confides all to Audrey Roberts (who
we all know has 'discreet' as a middle name, right?) in the Rovers,
saying she still loves Kev and can't believe it's all over. (It
isn't - she's in the show until Christmas and rumour has it she's
pregnant). Rita catches Sally in the Street and tells her she's
happy to have her back at home, but Sally gives Rita an earful,
saying that she should have rang her at Scarborough as soon as
she knew about Kevin's affair.
Andy McDonald gets a 2:2 BA degree and the McDonalds have a
champagne celebration for him. However, in the middle of this
family scene, in walks the police who take Steve away for questioning
about a stolen van load of whisky. Steve is innocent of course,
the night of the burglary he was with Maxine but she doesn't want
to let Ashley know she was with Steve so she lies and says she
wasn't with Steve. He's taken to prison for 48 hours and set free
without being charged after Maxine confesses all in the police
station. She also confesses to Ashley and he's okay about it,
they kiss and make up. However, Fiona isn't best pleased with
Alan, she assumes he had Steve arrested on false charges because
he was jealous of her relationship with Steve and she has a moan
at him about this. Alan tells her he can't take any more of being
second best to Steve McDonald, tells Fiona that she obviously
still loves Steve and walks out on her, calling off their engagement!
"Where are you going?" asks Fiona, to which he replies
"I'm going to walk out of that door, and I'm never coming
back" (This got a cheer in our house too, I've never liked
that Alan bloke).
Alma is a bit perturbed about the huge posters of her which
are plastered all over Firmans Freezers. Eric Firman reckons the
increase in sales is all due to Alma, her face is moving frozen
sprouts like nobody's business and he's very happy. Although the
posters of Alma are all well and good, she doesn't look half as
nice as she did when she was driving for "Glam-cabs".
Judy gets her appointment for her operation at hospital (the
NHS is moving as quickly as ever I notice, the operation is scheduled
for January 98!) but she tells Gary she isn't going to go through
with the op, she's given up and wants to accept that she can't
have children. Gary isn't so keen to give up hope, and can't understand
Judy's change of mind.
And finally, for the past few weeks Roy has been saving up
some vouchers which will enable him to take a trip to Paris. He's
almost saved enough vouchers for his trip. Will he go? Who will
he take? And will he be flown there by Deirdre's boyfriend Jon
or will he spy Jon working in the airport Sock-Shop? For the answers
to these questions and more, much more, tune in next week
