After being concussed by the bus, Schmeichel recovers and is sent home
with a bandage on his leg and one of those huge, daft collars on his head.
Chesney comes out in sympathy and wears an old lampshade round his neck
so the dog doesn't feel silly all on its on. Claire's beside herself
with guilt over hitting the dog, gives up her dream-job and swears she'll
never drive again. She coughs up the cash for the vet's bill to Cilla who
tells her the bill is £1,102 when it's only £850. Ashley's
not best pleased Claire's giving their money away when the bus company would
be insured for this sort of thing, but Claire's gone and done it now and
there's the first sign of friction at the Peacock's.
There's more friction for the Duckies in their caravan at Formby. Vera's
idea of a holiday includes bracing walks, pub lunches and a bit of rumpy
pumpy but Jack's reluctant to join in, especially the latter. A fed-up
Vera makes Jack choose where his loyalty lies, is it with his pigeons
or the wife? When he packs to leave and heads back to Weatherfield, Vera
realises she'll always come second to the flying rats. Tyrone and Maria aren't
too happy when Jack comes back into the house, especially as Maria's in the
altogether in the kitchen. Vera follows home later and collars
Jack in the Rovers, dragging him out by his ear. "It's not what it looks
like… " yells Jack to everyone watching: "It's her idea of foreplay!" Tyrone
has a quiet word with Jack and asks him to return to the caravan so
that he and Maria can spend time alone as a prelude to moving in together
in the future. For Tyrone's sake only, Jack heads back to Formby with
Vera and a very heavy heart.
There's even more friction this week at the Rovers. Still locked away
in the room at the top, Shelley's bruises fade from black to yellow via a
bit of mottled blue and gnarly green. The barstaff are curious and
concerned about her wellbeing but Charlie does all he can to keep Fred and
Ciaran out of her room. When Deirdre finds out that Shelley hasn't
been seen in days she's straight on the phone to Bev who storms into the
Rovers, quivering but determined. She barges straight up the stairs
and into Shelley's room, aching to say "I told you so" and she does, many
times. "I walked into a door" screams Shelley before marching her mother down the stairs,
yelling at her to get out. Ciaran restrains Charlie while all
this is going on until Bev and Charlie play tug-of-war with Shelley and
Bev's thrown out of the pub. With Shelley's bruises now on public show and
the subject of much idle gossip, everyone assumes that Charlie's beaten her
up. He tells Shelley he's had enough, packs his bags and leaves while
she whimpers and cries and begs him not to go.
There's happier news for Liz when she goes on a date with Bob, an old
teaching mate of Ken's. When they part the next morning on her doorstep
he's keen to keep news of the date quiet, especially from Steve. So when
Steve pops his head around the corner and sees Liz kissing a stranger
in her nighty, he reminds his mother that she's still a married woman and
that he Does Not Approve.
But there's even happier news for the Alahan's when Sunita breaks the
news to Dev that they are now with child and have a bun in the oven.
Speaking of which, Diggory the baker offers Sally a job in the bread
shop and she happily accepts until he gets all creepy, puts him arm
around her and asks if she'd be willing to work evenings creaming
his buns. Sally walks out of the baker shop and into the corner
shop where her retail skills are snapped up by Dev who tells her
that Sunita will be reducing her hours although he doesn't tell her why
as they want to keep the baby news quiet for now. At home Sally
serves up beans for the girls, and defends her new job in the corner
shop after the dizzy heights of working in a car salesroom. Young
Sophie tells her mum she doesn't have to go to work to earn money to
send her to posh Oakhill school as she refuses to go anyway. The kid's
a star.
And that's just about that for this week.
