Women of a certain age have all kinds of problems. One of Alma's
is being married to Mike. She decides to tell Mike about her crush
on Steven before Mike hears the sordid version from Audrey, and
what's Mike's reaction to the news that his wife fancies another
man and she would've slept with him, if he'd asked her to? He's
not bothered! He tells Alma he doesn't care what she does, as
long as it doesn't affect business! Gail jokes about a duel between
Steven and Mike, and Alma says "A duel for Mike means cheque
books at dawn". Alma's feeling pretty low because Steven
isn't paying her any attention, and neither is Mike so she decides
to take a few days away from the cafe and have a break. So who
is Steven paying attention to, if not Alma? Good old Deidre! Mike
invites Deidre along on a business dinner with himself, Alma and
Steven and it looks like romance could be in the air for Deidre
once more.
Vera truly believes her Terry has changed for the better but Jack
reckons Terry has only turned up because he heard about the Rovers
and thinks his parents have got some spare cash these days. Things
look bad for Terry when the Ortons turn up from Blackpool to take
little Tommy back with them but Terry refuses. It turns out that
the Ortons had been paying Terry a few thousand pounds a year
to keep little Tommy and when they miss a payment, Terry is straight
in there to get his son back. The Ortons plead and offer more
money to Terry but he says he wants to keep his son, much to Vera's
delight. Vera wants Terry and Tommy to live at the Rovers and
has plans to hand the pub onto Terry when they retire but Jack
says he doesn't want Terry around, he's not convinced he has changed
at all. Jack gets some bother in the bar from a real thug who
starts complaining about his pint. Jack tries to calm him down
but this bloke pulls Jack's head to the bar and looks ready to
start punching him. Just then, Terry jumps in and rescues his
dad from the yobbo (who's built like a brick out house). The Rovers
is in an uproar, everyone saw that Terry saved his dad from a
good hiding, so he must be a good lad, mustn't he? Not quite...
he then rushes out of the pub and pays the stooge £20 for
his little stunt.
Someone else happy that Terry is around these days is Trish Armstrong.
Being as subtle as ever, she flings herself at Terry (much to
Vera's dismay) as often as she can in the Rovers.
Mavis and Derek rush off to their allotment thinking the worst
about Norris. They hear from Billy Williams about the huge hole
Norris was digging there, and truly expect to unearth Angela's
body from the ground. However, in the most serious act of defiance
against his overbearing wife, he did in fact bury Angela's golf
clubs there. "What did you expect to find, Dirk?" Norris
asks, all innocent and wide-eyed. Norris is back with Angela now,
things are hunky dory between them and he's been polishing her
new golf clubs for her. Derek is dismayed that his pal has once
again crawled back to Angela.
Andy takes Anne to the flat above Jim's cafe and asks her if she
will move in there with him. She's taken aback, she never expected
this and gives him another ear-bashing about taking her for granted.
When she calms down, she doesn't give him an answer about moving
in the flat with him until she's seen all of the flat and slowly
leads Andy by the hand into the bedroom.....
Don Brennan's got problems again. The welder machine has broken
down in the garage and Tony reckons a second-hand one will cost
Don around £1,000. Don knows he can't afford this and is
in a grumpy mood which doesn't improve when Mike Baldwin comes
knocking at his front door later that evening with some work he
wants to discuss with Josie. Don throws Mike out of the house
and tells him not to bother Josie after hours. When Mike leaves,
Josie turns on Don and tells him never to interfere again like
that in her business.
A wonderful new character has appeared in the Street. She's a
neighbour of Phyllis' who helps Percy with the shopping in the
corner shop. She's a real old gossip and busy body and looks set
to ruffle a few feathers with her eager eyes, big mouth and loose
tongue (a bit like our dog). In fact, she's only been in the show
about 5 minutes and has already upset Audrey, great stuff! I'm
being vague about this person's name because I can't remember
it (and I only watched the show half an hour ago!) [Lily Dempsey,
just in case you were wondering - Graham].
