Audrey has no choice but to take on Sarah in the salon after Gail gives
her grief about not putting family first - no matter that Sarah's got
no experience or the inclination to work as a hairdresser, Audrey grits her
teeth and employs her granddaughter. On her first day Sarah arrives late,
paints her nails and leaves early after complaining about having to clean
the salon. (It reminded me of Viz's wonderful, long ago, 'Lazy Disinterested,
Shoe-Shop Girl'). Candice isn't best pleased with developments in the salon
and neither is Audrey.
With Sarah no longer working in Roy's Rolls, it's left to Vera to juggle
jobs as she manages the café as well as being Frankie's PA, chauffeur
and cleaner. Leanne helps Vera out in the café when Roy and
Hayley go on holiday. The Croppers take off with the spirit of adventure
and a hot flask in their camper van, a well stocked hamper and a tartan rug
in the back, as they explore Britain's highways and byways with the help
of an antique road atlas.
It's Frankie and Danny's wedding anniversary and Danny sends Hayley to
the shops at the last minute to buy his missus a frock. When the factory
girls tell him that Hayley's, er, fashion sense might not be what he expects,
he appears nonchalant, and that's just how it should be. Hayley comes
up trumps with a gorgeous black dress in the style of Lauren Bacall and
Frankie loves it, but knows her feckless hubby didn't buy it. The
police pay the Baldwins a visit with news that Vinnie's been beaten up in
the Chingford area, which can be pretty painful, and Danny's suspect number
one. His alibi is that he was shopping for a dress for his wife at the time
and Frankie knows he's lying. Danny's son Jamie arrives on the cobbles
to stay for a few days, he's all cheap fags and a dark, brooding eyebrow.
Maya suspects Sunita's pregnant with Dev's baby and works herself to a
mad rage till she's got marshmallows coming out of her nostrils and throws
a tin of beans at Dev's head. BeanzHitzDevzHed Meanwhile, it
turns out that Sunita's really ill. Standing beside Tunnocks teacakes which
are sandwiched in between the beans and peas (anything for a good camera
shot) Dev offers to pay for private health care. He even goes to see the
doc with her, all adding fuel to Maya's very wrong idea of what's going on
between her finance and the shop girl. She lets herself into Sunita's
flat with a stolen key and finds Dev consoling Sunita on the sofa, they've
just found out she's got a benign brain tumour, which isn't too serious but
it brings with it the risk of an aneurism, which is. Maya throws a
wobbly, shouts a lot and cries which doesn't exactly endear Dev to her.
Even when she finds out the truth about Sunita's symptoms, she's still hell
bent on revenge of sorts, especially as Dev's told her he wants to call off
the wedding.
And finally this week, Emily returns from visiting Mavis in the Lakes,
committed as ever to continue the pensioner protest to stop council tax
being spent on Alf's memorial fountain. And Sally strops to
the headmaster of Rosie's school, wondering why her gifted genius girl isn't
being given the attention she deserves before pulling her out of Weatherfield
High and signing her up for private school Oakhill - which is something
that neither Kevin nor Rosie wants, like duh.
And that's just about that for this week.
