Vikram picks up a taxi fare, Eileen Grimshaw, and it turns
out she's a whizz at this taxi lark, having worked in the biz
previously. She soon ends up working in the Streetcars office
drinking tea, eating chips and answering the phone while sitting
on the decent chair she demands. She's absolutely brilliant! Steve
still hasn't told Vik the truth about Jez, so when Jez keeps ringing
for a free taxi ride here there and everywhere, Vik refuses his
requests. Not the best thing to do really, under the circumstances,
but he's not to know. Anyway, Jez storms into the office demanding
to know why his taxi requests are being ignored and there's a
bit of argy-bargy when Vik pushes Jez around, not realising who
he's dealing with, of course. As Jez leaves and Vik leans against
the wall, pausing for breath, Eileen pops a chip in her mouth
and pipes up "While you're stood up, put kettle on".
Wonderful stuff. Anyway, Steve's sure that Jez had something to
do with Tony's murder and confides his suspicions to Natalie.
She's straight on the phone to DI Reynolds who wants to know her
source, but she's refusing, quite rightly, to say who told her.
Steve's a worried man, and so is Vikram after Steve finally tells
him the truth about Jez's involvement with Streetcars. In fact,
Steve is so worried that he's thinking of going to the police
himself.
There's baby stuff all over the place this week. Sarah Lou
goes to an ante-natal class and learns how to put a pretend nappy
on a plastic doll which I'm sure will come in handy. As Alison
comes over all sweaty in the café "I feel sick and
me eyes have g one all funny" (I feel like that after Chardonnay),
Gail gets Curly to ring for an ambulance and Alison's rushed into
hospital with suspected pre-eclampsia. Gail and Sarah Lou talk
about Alison's situation, about the fact that she could actually
lose the baby and Gail is shocked when Sarah Lou says that if
it happened to her, maybe losing her baby would be the best thing
for all.
The girls at Underworld are underwhelmed by the new pay scheme
when they all, apart from Hayley, realise they're going to be
earning less than normal. Linda, afraid that the girls will think
she's gone back on her word to get them earning more money, st
ays late after they've all gone home and stitches pants for Gwen
and Janice to make up their earnings.
After Debs made it clear last week that she's still interested
in Duggie, the pair of them spend the night together. This time
he isn't as anxious and doesn't run away, well, not physically,
but mentally he's too anxious to perform on Debs command. Being
the sensitive soul she is, Debs runs straight to Natalie and tells
her all the gossip. But anyway, things get straightened out in
the end. Afterwards, the pair of them have a drink in the Rovers,
with red wine and cheeky grins.
Martin and Rebecca pick up the wrong mobile phones and much
hilarity ensues, not. What is quite funny is that Gail has invited
Rebecca to dinner chez Platt (pies: meat, chips: frozen, veg:
tinned, dessert: with custard). She also invites Gary Mallett
along, hoping to pair him up with Rebecca. I can hardly wait.
Rebecca moved into her new flat this week and despite not liking
this woman AT ALL, NOT ONE BIT, I warmed to her a little when
she decided to go shopping for cushions. Now, cushions I like.
Cushions, I understand. You always know where you are with a cushion.
Or twelve.
Jim's back from the funeral in Ireland, furious to find out
that Gwen has turned his living room into something from 'Changing
Rooms from B&Q hell'. He makes her cut up the store credit
card yet foolishly agrees to opening a joint bank account with
her. Odd. Gwen goes moaning on in the Rovers to Janice that she's
thinking of leaving Jim as he's so unreasonable to live with.
There's a couple of lovely scenes between our young lovers,
Maxine and Ashley. She's worried that she's forced her vegetarianism
onto her husband so cooks up a full English breakfast for him
to make amends. Meanwhile, the lovely Spider, dressed in black
jacket and white shirt, looking gorgeous at the Rovers bar, with
hair slightly ruffled, gives Ashley an idea. He asks Fred what
he thinks about selling organic produce but Fred wonders if Weatherfield
is ready for happy meat. And even if they are, can they afford
it?
Emma and Curly plan a weekend away in the country together.
Curly's glasses just about steam up when she mentions she'd like
to get back to nature with lots of physical exercise.
Sally's working all hours in the shop, which is odd, as they've
never got any customers and it's not making much money. Danny's
bored. When his brother offers him 50 quid for helping out shifting
stuff in a van, hejumps at the chance. And when his brother wants
him to go for a drink afterwards, he does. And Sally doesn't like
it so she moans, she drones and it's all too boring for words.
Glenda ;-)
