Not a very exciting week this week on the Street but there's
been a lot of depth to the events of the week, a lot of passion
(Sally asking Kev to come home) and mystery (Jon the airline pilot).
And so, on with the show...
Yes, she really did it. Sally asked Kevin to come home - no,
she didn't ask, she begged. She cried. She blamed herself for
him running off with Natalie, she threw herself into a chair in
their dining room and begged him over and over again. And what
did the little weasal do then - he said no. He said he loved Natalie
and he wasn't coming back. Oh Sally, you poor, poor girl, I cried
real tears for you (again, I'm such a softy). Gail had already
seen Kevin and Natalie kiss and make up in the cafe, so she warned
Sally to be careful when talking to Kevin, but of course Sally
still thought that Kevin had left Natalie when she asked him to
come home. Actually, our house has turned into a battleground.
We've got 'him indoors' in the Natalie camp, and I'm in the Sally
camp, two opposing factions supporting different causes. I hiss
and boo and shout "tart!" when Natalie comes on screen
and he whimpers and cries when Sally appears, it's a bit ridiculous
really but it keeps us happy.
Natalie finds out that the Rovers needs a new barmaid and applies
for the job. Alec recruits her immediately, much to Vera and Betty's
disgust. Within her first few days at the Rovers, Natalie manages
to upset most of the women on the Street when they find out she's
the new barmaid. Rita walks out without ordering a drink, (and
later refuses to serve Natalie in the Kabin), and then Sally and
her Underworld posse walk out and drink in another pub instead.
Only Audrey seems happy to have someone "with some style"
working at the Rovers. Where's Bet Gilroy when you need her? Bet
would have sorted Natalie out once and for all with a few stern
words and a raised eyebrow.
Zoe has a baby girl which Judy and Gary decide to call Katy
Joyce. Judy wants Gary to put his name down on the birth certificate
as the father of the baby, this would give him the same rights
as a birth father (I think..) but Gary is a little wary about
this. Audrey puts two and two together, stirs a few potions, eats
a bat's wing, and cackles in the Rovers that she thinks Gary really
is the father of the baby, spreading her evil venom gossip around
the Street. Judy is worried that Zoe might become attached to
Katy so she prises her off the baby at every opportunity. The
nurse comes to visit to check that all is okay with mother and
baby and the Mallets and Zoe pretend that they're all living happily
ever after. Amen.
The wool over Deirdre's eyes has been there so long there's
mice making a nest in it. (I know about mice nests, we found one
in our garage last week, had the council chap come to put poison
down.. I know, not very humane, but we tried humane traps first
and they didn't work, the mice ate the white stilton in the trap
and ran away. Then, the dogs ate the poison and had to be rushed
to the vets for expensive anti-dotes and a week's worth of injections).
Sorry, where was I? Oh yes... well, Jon hasn't been in touch with
Deirdre for some time and when he does turn up at the flat he
asks her to move in with him as soon as possible. Deidre is delighted
and starts packing immediately, and puts in her notice to the
owner of the flat. He tells Deirdre he has to call in to the chief
at the airport to confirm flights or something technical but he
really rings "Tie n Fly" and tells them the till was
down £4.99 at the end of the day. Just what is this bloke
up to?
Des and Samantha decide to continue with their relationship
but Samantha tells Des the relationship has to be more or less
platonic for now. She wants to take things very slowly and not
rush into having s.e.x. (snigger
snigger) with him until she feels right about it. Des tells her
he'll wait until she's ready. Yes, well, that's what he says now
dear, but can you trust him not to run off with a strumpet? Chris
is finding that three's a crowd at chez Barnes, he wants to move
out with Angie and they go to view Deirdre's flat. Angie isn't
keen on moving to live above a betting shop but Chris needs his
own space, away from Des, he's jealous of Angie's friendship with
Des and wants to move out.
Maude tells Fred that she's most unhappy that he'll soon become
her son in law, and starts to get all stroppy with him about being
a tub of lard and so on. Fred puffs out his chest, lets go of
the throttle and with all the force he can muster, he tells Maude,
in no uncertain terms that he loves Maureen, he isn't just after
her because of the shop and they don't plan on putting Maude into
an old folks home as soon as they're wed. Maude is, for once,
stuck for words. Later, Fred proposes a toast in the Rovers, announcing
the upcoming wedding to all.
And that's just about that for this week!
Glenda :-)
