The whole Maureen/Bill fiasco is over, and didn't we know it
would end in tears? Maureen tells Bill that she slept with Curly
at Christmas and at one other time too and Bill storms round to
see Curly and thumps him in the face.
Maude wants to know what's going on with her wayward daughter
and so Maureen tells her mother all that happened. When Maude
sees Curly, she accuses him of ruining Maureen's relationship
with Bill and the two of them have an argument in the Rovers,
their voices raised just enough for the whole of Weatherfield
to hear about Maureen's night of passion with Curly. Confused?
You will be. Curly confronts Maureen and tells her he's annoyed
that Maude knew about him sleeping with Maureen. It becomes painfully
obvious that what Curly refers to as 'just sex, Maureen, it was
just sex' meant an awful lot more than that to Maureen. "But
we cared about each other..." she whimpers. Another relationship
going nowhere gets another crack at the whip this week.
Jim McDonald cooks dinner for Samantha, he makes her a special
'Ulster fry' (whatever that might be - sounds like it involves
a lot of lard and fried bread). Jim smoothly chats her up - "What
about ya Sammy?" but she tells him under no circumstances
does she want a relationship and Jim reluctantly agrees to be
'only friends'.
And for the most weird relationship on the Street right now,
Kevin and Natalie get on everyone's nerves once more, with him
deciding he doesn't want Sally, then he does, then he wants Natalie,
then he doesn't, then he goes to Scarborough with little Rosie
while Nasty Natalie chats up Chris in the Rovers. Too confusing
for me. Come back soon Sally and give this Natalie a punch round
the lug hole for stealing your husband, and then make Kevin suffer
for his sins, and I mean, really suffer.
A bit of the 90s comes into the Street this week in the shape
of a real life yob who threatens Judy in the arcade. Just when
he's giving Judy a hard time and starting to wreck the machines,
in walks Gary who comes over all hard man and threatens the lad
if he doesn't leave the arcade straight away. Later, the lad comes
back to the arcade with his face all bashed and bruised, he tells
Judy that Gary beat him up and blackmails her for £200 otherwise
he'll go to the police and report Gary. We all know Gary didn't
beat this lad up, but Judy won't believe her husband and pays
the kid £150 that she was saving to buy her mother's memorial
plaque. Judy doesn't want the police involved as Gary has got
a past record with the police.
Angie is looking for models for her new line of lingerie. She
asks Chris who declines at first but changes his mind after Samantha
says she'll model if he will. Fiona declines and although Maxine
is keen to model, Angie tells her she only wants models with curves.
"I have got curves" whinges Maxine "they're just
small ones".
Emily wonders what's happened to the raffle money which Alec
had offered to the friends of Weatherfield hospital, the proceeds
of the Las Vegas raffle. He finally gives her a cheque for £250
which Emily thinks is very generous, but Rita smells a rat. Rita
knows that approx. 200 tickets were sold at £5 each, giving
a profit of £1,000. She goes to see Alec and confronts him
with this and tells him to put things right with Emily.
Alec calls in to the Rovers and hides an envelope in the back
room, pretending that Jack was keeping the extra money and the
ticket stubs etc. Of course, when Samantha 'finds' the envelope
with the money in it, all is well and Rita has that knowing smile
on her face when Alec hands over the rest of the money to Emily.
Both Liz and Jim McDonald seek out Fiona to tell her that Steve
McDonald is being released from prison in the next week or so,
expecting Fiona to call off her engagement with Alan and go rushing
into Steve Mc's arms at the drop of a hat. Fiona plays it cool
and pretends she's not bothered that Steve will soon be popping
in for a short back and sides, but she's still got feelings for
him, whether she says she has or not, and we'll just have to wait
and see what happens.
In case any of you haven't heard yet.....
Mavis, Maureen, Andy McDonald and Bill Webster are all leaving
the Street later this year.
