With Kevin out of the way, Greg stays overnight at Sally's
house and the girls are asking where their dad has gone. Greg
seems more than a little disinterested in Sally's kids and this
is starting to concern her. Greg suggests to Sally that Kev should
move back in so it looks as if Sally isn't up to anything she
shouldn't be and Sally agrees. He also suggests they should use
Sally's money to set up in business together and they go looking
at offices for their new clothing business which they'll set up
in competition with Baldwin. When Kev sees Sally and Greg return
from a late lunch together, running back to the factory, he asks
Sally what's going on and she tells him about the new business.
Kev tells her that Greg is only after her money, but she refuses
to listen to him. Kevin has a word with Natalie, telling her he
can't afford to buy her out of the garage now that he can't get
the bank loan and she's not best pleased.
Problems at Freshco for Curly, who starts reading an assertiveness
book so he can stand up to the ice maiden, Anne. Anne wants to
sack Alma but Curly puts in a good word for Alma and Anne changes
her mind about sacking her. But what's really going on? On his
way home from work, Curly's car breaks down so Anne gives him
a lift home. In Curly's house, Anne is full of praise for Norman,
telling him that she'll recommend him for promotion to Area Manager
when she's promoted to Regional Manager and he starts to think
she's not as psychopathic as perhaps he thought she was. But then,
his phone rings and Curly leaves the room to take the call. Anne
takes one of his books from his bookshelf, a book with Curly's
handwriting inside the front cover, and stashed it away in her
briefcase. Later, back at her house, we see her, in a sort of
deranged madwoman kind of way, cutting letters out of the book
and sticking them on a piece of paper - so far, the message reads
"We demand a ... ". We demand a what? A what? A pint
of Guinness and a bag of crisps? A good slap around the ear for
being so peculiar? What? What?
All is not well in the Rovers with Alec telling Vera and Jack
he wants to dissolve the partnership and return to Southampton.
When Rita finds out Alec's plans, she blames herself, feeling
she's pushed Alec away and wonders what life would be like without
him. She ruminates over a gin in the Rovers, there's some serious
thinking to be done. And in the episode I missed, it looks like
the street's feminist and wide boy are going to get married after
all. How I would have loved to have seen that episode, but I didn't,
so I can't tell you what happened. Anyway, they decide to get
married and off they go shopping for a wedding ring. Alec is horrified
at the prices in the shops and tells Rita he much prefers the
"thin, less showy" (i.e. cheaper) rings on sale before
offering to get in touch with one of his wholesale jewelry mates
who can get them a good deal. In the Rovers, Fred extends his
best wishes to Rita, with a sigh and a speech to her about "what
might have been" between the two of them. He wishes her "all
the joy in the world, that's if you'll find any joy with Alec".
Alec tells Vera and Jack about the upcoming nuptials and offers
to buy their share of the Rovers, and keep them both on as management
rather than part-owners. Jack and Vera think about this for a
moment, look at each other, look back at Alec and in unison ask
him "What's the catch?".
Les sees Toyah leave Ken's house after her tuition, and assumes
the worst has been happening between his step daughter and the
man next door. He storms out of the house, calls Ken "an
evil little pervert" and gives him a good thumping. A crowd
gathers round them in the Street and Toyah drags Ken back into
his house, offering to bathe his wounds but he yells at her to
get out, she's caused enough trouble already. Back at the Battersby
house, Toyah and Janice are more than a little upset about Les'
behaviour (and in the episode I didn't see - again!), Toyah runs
away, she's gone to London to look for her real dad. Janice and
Les are beside themselves with worry and call the police. "Quick,
hide the telly" shouts Les "and the phone!" The
police aren't able to offer any concrete advice on finding Toyah
so Les and Janice decide to travel to London and find Toyah themselves.
Les wonders how Toyah knows the address of her real father, Ronnie
Clegg. Janice tells him that Ronnie had written to her a few times,
begging her to take him back, and that Toyah must have found one
of his letters. On location in London, we see Toyah get out of
a van with the driver telling her "watch yourself now, you're
in the wicked metrollops". On a run down council estate full
of flats with boarded up windows, and burned out cars in the street,
a strange man opens his front door to Toyah after she tells him
she's his daughter and has nowhere to sleep for the night.
Well, that's all for this week folks.
Glenda :-)
