Fred returns from his sausage sojourn to unsurpassable Scottish slaughter
houses to find Norris' tongue wagging in the Kabin. Norris tells Fred
that Claire stayed overnight, he saw her taking in the milk and that can only
mean one thing as far as Norris is concerned - passion not porridge. What
really happened was that Claire stayed in the spare room after Ashley persuaded
her to stay rather than go home late at night. So Fred's thinking there's
summat going on between them both, and tells Ashley he's right pleased. When
Ashley laughs about this to Claire later, they end up kissing on the sofa
before pulling away from each other, embarrassed and shy. Ashley thinks he's
been unfaithful to Maxine and Claire's not sure what to think: "I took advantage
of a vulnerable widower!". They clearly like each other and after much blaming
of selves "It were my fault", "No, it were mine," (repeat to fade), Claire
agrees to stay on as the babbie's nanny as if nothing has changed, when everything
has.
Peter's relieved that he won't be prosecuted although his wives aren't best
pleased he's been left off with a caution: Never run with scissors in your
hand. In that great tradition of scorned blondes, Lucy turns Loopy and
seethes with anger at both Shelley and Peter, convinced they're going to
get back together again. Shelley's tolerating Peter in the Rovers as
long as he stays yon side of the bar, where Bev growls at him often from t'other.
Lucy's mate comes round and finds a poison-pen letter (and I do hope it was
written in green ink) that she's intending to send to Peter but manages to
persuade her not to send it. Well, not until she's sorted out the spelling
errors anyway.
Les (Clint), has another date with Lulu (Cilla) and turns out to be
the mother of (Fiz). "Mum!" she screams when Fiz sees Cilla with Les.
"Mum?" says Les as Kirk chuckles by the bar at the Weatherfield Arms.
Anyway, when everyone comes clean about who they are and what they do, Les
and Cilla put the punters off their beer by snogging in the Rovers while Fiz
refuses to have anything to do with her mum. She says Cilla's a junkie
prostitute who she can't stand the sight of, calls her a tart and a cow and
says she hates her guts before storming out of the Rovers with Kirk the kennel
king in tow.
Martin and Katy are having a drink in the Rovers when Sally drags Kev over
to sit with them both. While Martin's at the bar, Sally tells Katy she's
lucky to have a fella like Martin and Katy tells her, jokingly, to keep her
hands off. "Been there, done that." replies Sally while Katy gets a
face like a startled hen. You know, one of them brown ones. But the
Websters have their own exciting news to share as Sally tells Kev that Rosie's
been chosen to play a Rissole in Grease.
At the dinner table in the Barlow's, Tracy and Peter score points off each
other trying to figure out just who's the worst. In the red corner is
Peter: bigamist, liar and feckless ne'er do well. And in the blue corner
is Tracy: a total waste of space and a really sorry mess. Anyway, with the
help of much whisky, Tracy tells Peter everything - all about doping Roy,
the baby's father being Steve and the Croppers paying her twenty grand to
give the baby to them. Peter tells Tracy to come clean with Steve, see
what his reaction is towards the baby being his and forget about the Croppers.
And as all of this is going on, as Tracy tries to tell Steve at Streetcars
the whole sordid truth, Roy and Hayley are with their bank manager, desperately
trying to borrow more money to give to Tracy. Just as Tracy is going
to tell Steve the truth, the Croppers storm in to hand over the cheque -
which she takes, as if there could have ever been any doubt - and tells Steve
all she wanted was to take over the switchboard so he could go home to Karen
to plan their wedding some more.
And that's just about that for this week.
