It looks like Julie/Bet's done a runner, according to the red top tabs
in the UK. After returning for a week or two it seems she's wobbled off
the cobbles, possibly never to return. Shame really, never mind.
Anyway, before she left there was a good scene with Audrey, horrified
(always a good look on the fragrant lady Roberts) that Bet has been out
in the garden - the front garden - smoking, and in her dressing gown
too. Anyway, while Audrey's out with Gail, Bet has a bloke in and
Eddie-luv turns up to go through her briefs. When Audrey returns to
find Bet with her solicitor she jumps to the wrong conclusion and gives
Bet a stern talking to about having men in the house. Bet has to come
clean and tells all to Audrey. And then she does a runner, but not
before she snorts with derison at Fred Elliot when he asks her to
manage, I say, run the Rovers for him.
At Curly's girly coffee morning, Maxine is done up like a dog's dinner
with matching ensemble of designer-clad baby a la Posh Spice; never a
good look. She giggles, gossips and mingles with the mummies as Curly
tries his best to hold his first parent and toddler bash. When the
subject turns to breastfeeding, Maxine covers her boobs protectively and
coos: "Oh no, I couldn't do that. These are for Ashley, these". Curly
doesn't miss a beat with his "Anyone for cheesey puffs, then?". As the
last of the mothers leave and Curly sees them off at the door, the
sweetest little coat embroidered with the letter B can be spied hanging
on the coat rack in the hall. Aww.
Later, Curly breaks his glasses and needs to go into town to pick up
some new ones, calling into the nursery to pick up Ben on the way home.
Without his glasses, he says, the world is mystic and romantic and as
if by magic baby Ben turns into a little girl when Curly brings home the
wrong baby, but it all sorts itself out in th'end.
Archie has a proposition for Audrey; he asks her how she feels about
coiffeuring his corpses. Well, someone has to do it. The lady who used
to do his hairdressing has passed on to the other side (gone to join
Casualty) and after giving the matter much thought, Audrey confides in
Archie, strictly entre nous, that yes, she'll do it. But on the day
when Archie tells her he needs her services, she falters a bit (well you
would, wouldn't you?) before agreeing to help out. Turns out her first
corpse is the ex-hairdresser herself. Afterwards, in Archie's car with
a bunch of flowers from the dead woman's family, Audrey holds Archie's
hand by his gear stick and tells him she found it " the most rewarding
thing she's ever done."
Much malarkey at the factory when Joe sacks Karen who tells Steve she
walked out so Steve asks Joe to give Karen her job back and Joe tells
Steve that he sacked her. Steve now knows that Karen doesn't know that
he knows she's been sacked. So Steve pretends he's going to give Joe a
good thumping in the packing department until Karen comes clean and
admits she was sacked. But who's to care? Richard's paid Steve his
gaffer fee of ten grand and Karen's set her sights on shopping, not
job-hunting. But Steve tells her straight - no job, no designer flat.
Now that Karen's gone, Sally asks Joe if she can fill his opening in
ladies pants and he's ready to interview her before Mike lets him know
she once tried to nick the customer database.
There's war on at the Platts as Sarah continues to see Ade but Gail
makes Ade even more irresistible to her daughter by telling her never to
see him again. Lots of shouting ensues with Sarah telling Gail she's
going to have to get herself a new bridesmaid for the wedding, 'cos she
won't be there. Like duh.
And that's just about that for this week.
