It's the morning after the night before and Anthony is still
in Rita's flat, crikey. It does appear that it's been all innocent
tea-drinking and a spot of Radio 4 but Rita is still keen for
him to leave asap before he's spotted by the factory girls going
in to work. Rita's got a new hair do this week, it's sort of like
the old hair-do, just flatter, thankfully.
Janice apologises to Dennis over Les and the ring fiasco. She
tells Les he's 'pond life' and that she's never going to speak
to him again. Again. However, when Dennis finds out that Les has
had a win on the horses, he shames Les into buying a bottle of
champers and making up with Janice in the Rovers. Dennis is brilliant,
he really is.
After turning himself in last week, Jim's now resigned to a
life in prison for manslaughter despite a visit from Steve begging
him to change his plea and a visit from Natalie offering him the
£10k reward money for a decent barrister. This offer is
causing friction between Natalie and Vinny, who can't quite believe
what's going on. But no matter what anyone else says, Jim is determined
to take it like a man. "I'm going down, so I am".
Jack and Vera start looking for somewhere else to live for
the pair of them, Tyrone and Monica. The pressure's really on
now that a prospective buyer's expressed interest in the B&B
already.
Over at the garage, Kevin needs a new mechanic now that Jim's
in the big house. He's having to turn down work on cars but Dennis
tells him it's only bikes he's good with, he's no good with four
wheels, but he knows a bloke who is. Remember Sexy (and I use
that word very loosely indeed) Sam the Stripper? It's him. Cue
the grease covered muscles and a tiny mind.
Things are tense in the Platt household this week. Martin declares
a 'family day' which includes plenty of shouting, tears and divorce
mentioned before teatime. And as you'd imagine, Audrey has her
tuppence worth, telling Martin he's "a selfish, pathetic
man". As the warring couple fight it out in the back garden,
David pops out to look after the rabbit: "I hope you're not
frightening Barney!". Bless him, along with Tyrone, Eileen
and Norris, that kid lights up the screen every time he has a
scene. Anyway, Martin feels Gail is moving too quickly. Divorce?
They need to sit and talk, they can't go rushing into life changing
decisions like this. But Gail stands firm. "I need to be
loved, Martin. If you can't love me, let me go". Things get
so tense there this week that Sarah Lou takes to leaving home
with the baby, marching all the way around the corner to stay
with Roy and Hayley and it's left to Audrey to talk her into moving
back home.
Whilst buttering barm cakes earlier this week, Roy had told
Hayley he wasn't ready to have a child, but after seeing how Hayley
coped with Sarah Lou and the baby staying with them, he can see
how much Hayley wants to be a mother, and finally agrees to go
through the adoption process. He decides to start filling in the
forms with his fountain pen, to lend an air of respectability
to the matter, but he's worried for Hayley, not yet knowing how
the law stands in their search for a child.
Fred decides he's going to become a magistrate and wonders
how lenient he could be with letting off fellow square dealers
on minor speeding charges while Rita reminds him of civic duty
and the law. It's the Peacocks first wedding anniversary and Ashley
prepares his missus an anniversary breakfast and presents a set
of golf clubs wearing pink fluffy covers to Maxine wearing her
pink fluffy jim-jams. Fred, proud as ever of his son, presents
him with the keys to the 'Elliot and Son' butcher's shop on Victoria
Street: "Lock, stock and two chest freezers".
However, Ashley doesn't forget his mate Gary, who's also remembering
events from one year ago, it's the first anniversary of Judy's
death. In a tear jerking scene, Gary takes the twins to Judy's
grave and tells her he's going to live in Blackpool so won't be
able to visit so often but that she'll always be in his, Rebecca
and William's hearts, always.
While Mike and Linda are off on their honeymoon (one assumes),
Harvey is looking after things at the factory and Karen's straight
in there. Taking lessons from Linda, obviously, she gets her legs
out and starts flirting with the boss. Bobbi's not best pleased,
she fancies him herself.
And that's just about that for this week.
Glenda :-)
