As the dust settles in Gail’s house, young David Pratt gets off with a light scolding from mum and grandma before he’s whisked off to sweep up hair in the salon to keep him out of trouble during half-term. David lies to Craig and Rosie that Phil the foot fella’s the card sender and when Gail finds out, she’s not best pleased. What David needs (apart from a kick up the backside), I reckon, is a girlfriend. It’ll control his hormones, put a smile on his face and clear his spots up, and, who knows, the lucky girl might just enjoy receiving cards.
There’s more teenage troubles over at the corner shop when Amber wheedles her way into Dev’s life and his flat. Hayley’s all for taking in young Amber and letting her live in the Cropper’s spare room. Roy’s against the idea but goes along with his wife’s plan when he sees how much it means to her. As the Croppers bring their offer to Dev’s corner shop, Amber receives a message on her phone from Dev in a language she best understands asking her if she wnts 2 muv in2 the flt wivvim? Like, yeah, she’s in there, innit. Great stuff, I’m dead happy to see Amber given a more permanent part of the street. She even cooks Dev chicken aloo gobi but forgets about the chicken - and the, er, gobi.
As the football under Claire’s jumper starts to kick, it’s the other little Peacock that Ashley is concerned with. They all trundle off to family court where Dr Matt the too-tall doctor argues for contact with “his” son. Ashley denies Matt a DNA test and the court adjourns for a report to be made and a second hearing to be held. All rise for the judge and please file out in silence.
Elsewhere in the court building, Kelly pleads guilty even though she’s innocent of the factory thefts. So if someone is innocent but pleads guilty does that mean they’re lying under oath and can’t they get beheaded or something for that? I don’t understand, do you? Anyway, Kelly feels that Lloyd hasn’t supported her as well as she would have liked her fella to do and it’s true he’s been a bit feckless. She packs her bags and leaves him and he sends Steve to do his matchmaking for him once he realises how much he misses her. As Steve and Ronnie argue in the street over how much he’s been helping out Kelly, Ronnie rides off in her cab with a flick of her curls and a whiff of hair lacquer.
Sean’s aunty Betty (“legs like Cyd Charisse, face like Sid James”) dies and he has to get in touch with his estranged father to break the news to him over the phone. Sean’s not seen his dad since he was a nipper as his parents divorced, leaving a dad-shaped hole in his life.
Keith’s got troubles when the rain comes in the house through his leaky roof. There’s a hole in my roof, dear builder, dear Charlie. Use a bucket, dear Keith, use a bucket, and so on, ad infinitum etc. When Charlie gives Keith the bill for fixing his roof Keith knows it’s too much for him to pay (why didn’t he give it to the landlord as anything structural wouldn’t have been Keith’s responsibility as a tenant?). Never one to let the facts get in the way of a good storyline, Corrie then had Charlie up on Keith’s roof removing the tiles until the bill gets paid. Keith calls the police who say they can’t do owt and advises him to ring the landlord, which he does. Charlie collars Keith round the back of the builders yard and throws him up against the wall, threatening him that the bill has to be paid.
Still in nasty mode (when is he not?) Charlie then takes Tracy out for dinner. She’s upset as she couldn’t find one of her new shoes so she flings the other one out. Over pasta and cheap wine in the pizza place on the precinct, the one with the checky red tablecloths, Charlie gives Tracy the other shoe she was missing, telling her it’s his revenge for her fake abortion scam.
And that’s just about that for this week.
