As Les, Janice, Eileen and Dennis prepare for their holiday
in Tenerife, Janice reaches breaking point and decides she can't
go away. As the taxi sits outside the house ready to take them
all to the airport, Janice breaks down and tells Les that she's
leaving him, and that she's leaving him for Dennis. Despite Bruce
Jones being a terrible actor, he finally manages to put some emotion
into the situation but it's when Dennis tells Eileen that the
tears started to flow in our house. Who cares if Les Battersby
has his heart broken? What's he ever done to enamour himself to
the viewer, or his wife? All he seems bothered about at first
is losing out on his holiday but he redeems himself in the end
by breaking down in tears as 10cc play on the stereo. But Eileen's
the innocent in all of this, along with Todd and Jason and there
were some very touching and emotional scenes when the Grimshaws
come to terms with being let down by someone they deeply trusted
and loved. Eileen listens to what Dennis is telling her but can't
quite take it all in. She goes round to see Janice to ask if it's
true and makes Dennis choose between them. When he makes his choice
clear, Eileen turns and walks quietly back home, retaining her
dignity as best as she can after leaving Janice with her thoughts
on men: "A glimpse of knicker and their brain turns to mush."
Janice and Dennis leave the street hand in hand, Janice with her
suitcases and Dennis with his bin-bags, spending the night in
a B&B before moving into a grotty flat together somewhere cheap.
Terry's hiding out in the shed as Jack brings butties and beer
to keep the lad going. Jack still doesn't believe that Terry could
possibly be innocent so offers him £5K to do a runner and
never darken Vera's doorstep again. But when Terry refuses the
money and breaks down in tears in Jack's arms, Terry seems to
be, for once, quite believable (although his acting is still way
beyond disbelief). Meanwhile, Vera hasn't a clue what's going
on but she's starting to wonder about Jack's shifty behaviour
and assumes he's having a fling with Brenda the lollipop lady.
When Jack finally tells her the truth, she's in tears too before
knocking up some stew and dumplings for me laddo in the sheddo.
Unfortunately for Terry in the shed, spiders, dry rot (and
a bit of tqt) are the least of his problems as Tyrone and Fiz
decide to use the place as their own little love nest. Poor Tyrone,
he's been easily led into temptation on the promise of a life
of chips and crime with Fiz. You just know Fiz is the sort of
girl who would have an odd smell about her, like a decayed anorak
that was put away in the bottom of a cupboard, still damp. Anyway,
after the pair of them are caught at it (you know, it) on Vera's
sofa, they use the shed for shenanigans with only Monica's dog
blanket (how appropriate for Fiz) to save them from splinters.
When Jack finds out from Terry what's been going on, he has a
word with young Ty and tells him to put a stop to it. Meanwhile
at the garage, when Kev refuses to clock the mileage on cars for
an acquaintance of Mr Rush, it's Tyrone that's targetted instead.
Over at Emily's, Norris is getting himself wound up over the
financial advice that Richard has given Emily so she can help
the lovely Spider buy his juice bar in Streatham. Norris is becoming
rather a nuisance to dear Aunty Em although he's sure he's onto
something - and perhaps he is? As Emily complains about Norris
in the Rovers, Blanche quips: "You know who he puts me in
mind of? Crippen!"
And that's just about that for this week.
