Audrey’s angry and angsty, life’s just not fair. She’s stuck with auld Archie who wants to whisk her away on a charabanc with the over 60’s “You’ll be needing sensible shoes” he tells her, something Audrey has never had in her life. At the age of over 60, Audrey realised she’d never ride through the streets of Weatherfield with the warm wind in her hair. (With apologies to Marianne Faithfull). Audrey’s old mate, Saint Rita of the red-heads is the one being driven around with the wind in her wrinkles as Archie whisks her off to the theatre to see Ladyboys of Bangkok. “What exactly is a ladyboy?” asks Emily to Norris who knows full well but isn’t likely to tell her. Anyway, Audrey dumped Keith this week and turned desperately jealous of Rita and her friendship with th’undertaker. Norris isn’t best pleased about the new arrangement and complains that Rita “keeps fanning herself with The People’s Friend” now she’s got the aura and the look of love about her.
Gail pulls a sickie from work, gets some sleeping pills and turns desperately paranoid. This business with the Hillman cards is taking its toll and she’s started having nightmares. She even thinks everyone on the street is talking about her. Strangely enough, they are.
Craig cooks dinner for Rosie at home while she recovers from being run over, which meets with much approval from Sally and Kev. He even stops being a Goth and turns up to see Rosie in a woolly pullover sans eye liner and blush. Rosie isn’t best pleased and gets on the phone to her mates, ignoring the new look Craig. “To be honest, I couldn’t afford the make-up” he tells her in his defence at going normal.
Danny and Frankie start to discuss a divorce settlement. Over a drink in the Rovers he offers her fifty grand. “He’s offered her fifty grand” whispers Sean to Violet who’s straight on the phone to Jamie at home. Leanne reckons she’s the Big I Am now she’s Danny’s PA in the factory and lords it over the girls, with her ever expanding pregnant tum poorly hidden behind as many props as possible. She’s going to need a bigger handbag ‘cos the one she’s using now just isn’t big enough to cover that bump. But while Leanne thinks she’s the bees-knees, Danny begs Frankie to come back to him. He offers her everything – the flat, the villa, his wallet, but not his undivided love, attention and honesty - which is really what she wants. Danny and Adam have a bit of bruvverly bovva on the cobbles, they’re still sparring with each other over this will business and Danny does a bit of frettnin’ towards Adam.
Genna the social worker calls in on the BB household where Cilla pours her heart out and reveals that the best thing she can do as a mum for little Chesney is to support Les becoming his dad. At least I think that’s what happened. I was watching this at my mum’s house and the telly lost the signal and the by the time it came back on Les, Ches, Cilla and Genna were all just about in tears and there were hugs all round. “I blinkin’ love you both” says Chesney. There’s celebrations to be had when Genna rings Cilla to say she’s approving the BBs for adoption. The cheap beers are cracked open and the Quo is played loud as Cilla and the wonderful Yana do the Riverdance on the carpet and Ches’ little heart swells with family pride.
Becky’s been made homeless as she can’t afford her rent so Fiz begs a wages advance from the boss. “She’s desperate, Mr Baldwin” says Fiz, “She’s desperate, Dan”. There was some wonderful dialogue form Jonathan Harvey all the way through this episode. Kelly offers to take Becky into the flat with her and Lloyd until she sorts herself out but she’s only been there two minutes and she’s already dampened their ardour (I love that phrase).
And that’s just about that for this week.
