Its Jasons 18th birthday (or is it Todd? I can never tell them
apart, theyre just like Ant and Dec) and Dennis buys the lad a
motorbike. He has a party at Eileens where he rides his bike around
the living room and Sarah Lou throws up on the carpet. Ah, the
joys of youth, how wondrous they are. Dennis tells Jason he cant
drive the bike yet. He needs a license, he needs insurance and
he needs to sort out the helmet on his back passenger.
Almas cousin (from the funeral) makes a reappearance and he
and Audrey have a drink in the Rovers. He seems nice enough, charming
and polite, but (and theres always a but) he starts asking questions
about Almas financial estate. So hes a financial advisor, fair
enough. But when a man, any man, turns up out of the blue (or
green, or come to that, orange, but usually not purple) asking
questions about money, its time to be wary and Audrey is being
anything but.
Over at Ryedale High, Sarah Lou (Sandy) and Candice (Rizzo)
feed Sarahs addiction to cyber chat rooms with more online communication
with internet pal TJ. Its like automatic, systematic, hydromatic,
greased lying. Sarah is "Julia" and "TJ" is
Todd (although we dont know that yet, well, we do now cos Ive
just told you, but Sandy and Rizzo dont know theyve both fallen
in love with the same boy, not yet anyway).
Over at the factory, Mike has to make some cutbacks to save
money and sacks 3 of his workers - including Karen and Bobbi.
Janices job looks safe enough until Karen tells the girls the
real reason why Linda lost the contract to Reubens, or as Les
later puts it: "So you drop your drawers, and they all lose
out?" Mike immediately sacks Janice and reinstates Bobbi
after Les outburst, leaving Janice on the scrapheap, in the jobcentre,
in despair, out of work and on the dole.
Its bingo night at the Rovers and Shelley assists Les as he
runs through his Bingo Bonanzer, accessorised with an egg box
and a waste paper bin, both spray-painted gold, as youd expect
from Les. And whos the lucky winner of the full house? None other
than Janice who scoops 150, but refuses to share it with Karen.
As its usual for them to share bingo winnings, Karen is rightly
upset, especially when Steve gave Janice the money to buy the
ticket in the first place, but still Janice refuses to pay up
on the grounds she needs the money more. She eventually gives
half the winnings to Karen, who takes it and then surprisingly
returns it, realising Janice does indeed need the money more than
she does - to get a decent haircut, if nothing else.
Anthony attends Isabelles funeral but Rita doesnt accompany
him. Neither will she go to New Zealand when he asks her to fly
off into the sunset with him. Sensibly, Rita decides to stay at
home, giving them both some time to get used to the idea that
Isabelle is gorne, has deceased and is no more. Childishly, Anthony
takes this to mean that Rita doesnt fancy him anymore and storms
off down under in a huff and a bow tie. Another taxi, another
exit. Norris is aghast that his best pal Anthony should leave
without saying goodbye and pesters Rita for the real news about
his departure. Rita confides her worries to Emily: Will Anthony
return? Will she grow old alone? Has she ever worn a jacket more
disastrous?
Over at the Duckies, Tyrones using Jack as his role model to
get out of doing the housework, the ironing, the cleaning and
the cooking. It gets too much for Vera to take and she and Maria
leave the men at home, demanding that the place is tidy for their
return. But even though theyre dressed the part, with Jack in
Veras pinny and Tyrone in her overall, the place is still a mess
when Vera returns. As revenge, Vera gives them an uncooked dinner
and burnt chops for tea. I told you this week was boring, didnt
I? Oh yes and it looks like Jack is going deaf.
Sam and Toyah agree to go on a date but Les isnt happy and
gives Sam a good talking to, making sure he wont leave Toyah on
a street corner, not like last time. Sam promises Toyah will be
safe with him and that hell bring her home all the way to the
front door. Janice cooks tea for them before they go out on the
date and Sam makes sure hes a hit with the mother (always a good
idea) when he says: "If Toyah could cook like her mother,
shed be the perfect woman". He scores further brownie points
by suggesting Janice take over Toyahs shifts at the cafe, leaving
Toyah to take on more shifts in the Rovers.
