Sally bought some cheap butter but the butter Sally bought left a bitter
taste in Kevin's mouth when she told him she was making cutbacks on household
spending so there was more left to spend on their Rosie. It's the
day of the audition at the academy and Sally and Kev accompany Rosie who's
hidden behind 3 inches of caked on foundation, blue eye gloss and a demented
smile. Sally's in her element and best suit, scarf nonchalantly
thrown around her neck as she eyes up the academy and spies a future for
her daughter. Just as they're about to go inside, Rosie tells Sally
she doesn't want to it, she's never wanted to do it, it's been Sally's plan
for herself all along. "You're so unhappy because you hate your life!" Rosie
yells at her mum. Sally, Queen of the Street Slap (remember that one
she landed on Natalie years ago?), slaps Rosie round the chops for her honesty.
Rosie's then dumped by Craig for Lisa the love biter at School and she and
Sally have a chat and a cry at home later and the air is somewhat cleared
between them. However, Sally's obvious unhappiness with her situation in
life vents itself later at Kevin before he rushes out to pick up their other
daughter, young wotsherface and some fish and chips.
Fred throws himself into his work to forget what ails his lovesick heart
only to find Penny and Mike drinking in the Rovers and reminding him all
over again. On the golf course with Mike who's trying to make amends
with his friend, Fred bumps into Dennis Stokes from the Chamber of Trade.
Dennis is accompanied by his new, young, lovely lady wife Lilly, a Thai
bride from t'internet. Fred ponders on this, I say, he wonders what to do.

Cilla lies to Les and tells him she's going to a mate's for a fewdays
but Chesney overhears his mum planning to spend the time with 'Uncle' Ronnie
Dudgen, a bad lot if ever there was one. Fiz is determined to
show Les what Cilla's up to and camera in hand, tries to snap photos of drunken
Cilla with Ronnie as they stumble back to his house after a night in the
pub. Before Fiz can focus, Cilla spots her daughter and tells her to
stop interfering in her business. Chesney's too scared to say anything
in case he's put into care so it's left to Fiz to break the news to Les when
Cilla returns. Les knows there's only one person he can believe and
that's little Chesney so he's heartbroken when Ches says it's all true. Consoled
by cheap lager, Les cries into his pint and throws Cilla out. Off she
goes in a taxi, leaving Chesney stranded on the cobbles with Schmeichel in
his arms. (I know... I gave in and looked up the correct spelling
on Google). Rita finds Chesney at the bus stop waiting for a bus to
London where he's going to find a job and takes him and Schmeichel in for
the night, letting Fiz know that he's ok.
Ashley's invited to tea with Claire's mum, Mrs Casey. It's all very
bay window and rather tense, the woman clearly doesn't approve of Claire's
relationship with Ashley and says her daughter's being used as "emotional
Elastoplast" to cover Ashley's hurt at losing Maxine. Anyway, turns
out Mrs C. is a widow herself and is somewhat over protective of young Claire
and not entirely pleasant towards Ashley. Ashley knows he loves and
wants to be with Claire and asks her to move in wi'him. When Mrs C. catches
wind of this, she's straight round there for an inspection of premises and
as you'd imagine, it falls short, well short, of her expectations. Claire
knows she has to break free from her mother but isn't yet ready to move in
with Ashley. The perfect compromise appears in the shape of the spare room
in the flat above the salon and Claire agrees to move in with Candice and
Fiz.
And finally this week, Candice's boyfriend Tim returns from his ski-ing
trip and nips round to the flat for a quickie with the hairdresser.
After looking forward to his return for ages, Candice was hoping for a
present, a bit of conversation and a cup of tea with Tim but he clearly
had other plans and walks out of the flat when Candice complains.
Maria tells Candice that Tim was only after a booty call and they have to
explain the expression to Audrey in the Rovers. "Ooh, they've got
a name for it now?" she says.
Karen's also got a (red) booty call on her mind when she casts her eye
over a pair of spiked heel red leather boots she can't afford and Steve
says she can't have. Needless to say, she buys them of course and in the
scene of the week walks them into the cab office for Steve to see them in
all their expense and glory.
And that's just about that for this week.
