Tommy calls him a kiddy-fiddler and Angela pleads tearfully with him to
leave her daughter alone but Martin decides his lurve for Katy’s too strong
and asks her to move into his flat. This all happens after a bit of
drama when Katy, locked in the house by Tommy, decides to teach her dad a
lesson - she ups her sugar level to put herself in a coma and straight into
hospital. Fortunately, after treatment she’s ok and when she
comes home from the hospital she goes straight to see Martin – who takes
Angela’s words to heart and tries, but fails, to break things off with Katy
and instead ends up asking her to move in wi’im. It’s not only Angela’s disapproval
that Martin’s reeling from, however. Wherever he’s been for the last few
weeks, young David returned, not best pleased to find out about his dad and
Katy. David and Sarah ignore Martin in the café, Audrey gives him
a good talking-to in the street and Gail takes him in for a nice cuppa tea
and a condescending chat. When Tommy and Angela find out that Katy’s
moved her stuff into Martin’s flat all hell’s let loose on Martin’s doorstep
with lots of yelling, as you’d expect. “She’s just a kid!” (Angela);
“I love her!” (Martin); “Ooh, Martin!” (Katy); “I’m gonna bash your bleedin’
head in, Platt!” (Tommy)
Over at the factory Mike’s interviewing for an assistant manager after Harry
turns down his offer of the post. Harry says he’s a cleaner not a manager,
at the end of the day. And probably at the start of it too. “I don’t want
to climb the greasy pole” he says “I just want to clean it”. Up
for interview are both the experienced and mature Deirdre alongside the cheap
and malleable Nick. Mike’s a businessman, he knows what makes financial
sense so Nick gets the job and Deirdre gets the hump. It remains to be seen
whether Nick can handle the factory girls, especially ex-ma-in-law Janice.
Mike gives Nick some words of advice about the knicker trade. “Lingerie
is a belt and braces operation” he says (and I do believe there’s at least
one Soho club where it is, nightly, from 11.30pm onwards with your first
drink free. Over 18s only and leave your bags with Sadie at the door).
I never thought I’d say this but I like Nick being back, he’s ruffling a few
feathers, but why haven’t Audrey and Gail asked after Steven yet?
At the Rovers Fred brings Shelley a huge bunch of roses to cheer her up
while pointing out his profits aren’t up to scratch with all these happy
hours she’s throwing. “What’s the point of anappy hour when it’s followed
by a miserable fortnight?” he asks. Lucy and Shelley continue their plan of
attack on Peter with a floral tribute spelling out BIGAMIST placed across
the front of the bookies. Lucy’s relishing this while Shelley, bless her,
appears concerned. Les later spots a money making opportunity and tries
to sell the floral letters in the pub – and for a scene with Les in it – this
was quite funny. Meanwhile, Peter gets drunk and goes to Lucy’s flower
shop taking her a bunch of flowers as a gift (original, non?). He demands
to see his son but Lucy refuses and throws him out along with his pom-pom
dahlias where he lands on his aster. Peter tells Tracy he’s going away to
stay with a Navy mate and gives her the phone number where he can be reached.
She’s the only one he’s given the number to, apart from the police who need
to know his whereabouts or thereabouts. Tracy crumples the beer mat that
the number is written on and throws it away.
Steve and Karen are now officially divorced after they sign and return their
decree absolute. To make things look more convincing Steve moves back
into the Streetcars flat and Karen pretends that Steve’s had another fling.
This gets him a slap across the face from Eileen and gossiped about in the
pub while Karen gets a cuddle from Rita in the Kabin. Only Janice knows it’s
all a rouse for another engagement and a big wedding bash so when she says
she’s setting Steve and Sonia up together, there’s not much that Karen can
do other than sit with a face like a burglar’s dog glaring at them both in
the Rovers. Steve knows what Janice has done and he has to go along
with it but it’s too convincing for Karen who by now is genuinely jealous
and angry and storms out of the pub for a screaming match with Steve while
Smoking for England. These two are fantastic and this was wonderful
stuff.
Elsewhere on the Street this week, Jack received a fine for £200 (which
Tyrone paid) and a slap on the wrist for taking the rap for the cannabis plants
that Maz had been growing in his greenhouse.
And Brenda Fearns returned to babysit Bethany. Todd says he’d already
asked his mum to babysit, “She’s bored now, you know, she’s even lost
her telly” to which Sarah replied “And Brenda’s lost her son”.
And that’s just about that for this week.
