Ashley receives
his passport in preparation for the honeymoon but still has a
few personal things to sort out when Fred tells him the truth
about his real mother. So, now that Ashley knows Kathleen lives
locally, he's keen to see her but bottles out at the last moment,
and runs away from the house and after Fred's car instead of getting
to meet his birth mother. Maxine does her best to support lickle
Ashley and finally he tells Fred he's changed his mind, he doesn't
want to meet her after all, he has all he wants and needs in Maxine,
Fred and Beryl. Ahhhh.
Spider and Toyah go public with their relationship this week,
well, public to everyone that is, apart from Les. Janice forces
a smile when Toyah tells her the news but Aunty Em is definitely
not amused and suggests to the lovely Spider he actually gets
himself a job. Aw, come on, Aunty Em, he is helping out at the
homeless person's shelter, bless him. Mind you, then Toyah starts
on at him about getting his own place and getting a job - which
has got to give a bit more privacy than a hot night in, babysitting
the Platt kids.
Steve's mate, Lee and Jim have a bit of a fight in the Rovers
when Lee comes looking for Steve and ends up calling Jim 'Mick'.
Vinny comes to the rescue and throws the pair of them out, but
Natalie isn't best pleased that he's taken it upon himself to
be the local heavy and puts him in his place. Anyway, Vinny tells
Natalie that the brewery he works for has found out he's helping
out in the Rovers and has forced him to make a choice of who he
is going to work for. When Natalie offers him a job behind the
bar of the Rovers, he jumps at the chance and you won't hear this
update writer complaining about having Vinny around a bit more,
indeedly do, no. This means of course that Jack is now relieved
of his duties behind the bar and Vera is not best pleased.
Anyway, so Steve returns from his trip to Amsterdam and he's
got this big white van. Jim's suspicion about drugs is heightened
when a geezer in a flash car turns up waving a wodge of money
around in front of Steve's face. "How much did he give yer?"
asks Jim. "A thousand pounds" replies Steve - to which
Jim explodes. "A thoisand poinds!". This scene is so
funny, as much for the build-up as anything. What Steve has in
the van is... close your eyes now if you don't want to know -
a dog. Polly the pooch - smuggled in from abroad for the tune
of a thoisand poinds for the missus of aforementioned geezer.
Blanche and Deirdre have a wonderful chat in the cafe. Or rather,
Blanche is talking at Deirdre as only a mother can talk at her
middle aged, spec-wearing daugther who is living with a trolley-pushing,
cardi-wearing, retired teacher. Well, during the course of the
conversation, Blanche notices a legal notice in the local paper,
stating that Maude's husband, Sidney, died leaving an estate worth
60 thoisand poinds. What? But didn't Sid's kids tell Maude he'd
left them nowt and the 10 grand he'd left Maude was rightfully
theirs? Not one for mincing her words, Maude tells them straight
and to the point - she's keeping the money and spending it to
carry out Sid's wishes - scattering his ashes on the River Kwai
- and she's taking Emily with her, as companion.
Alison's mam turns up at the flat and the pair of them argue
over the death of Alison's sister when her mum tries to blame
Alison for it all. Anyway, Alison ends up throwing her mum out
of the flat and tells her she doesn't need her any more - her
life is with Kevin and the girls now. But what's going on? She
takes Rosie and Sophie out for the afternoon after telling Kevin
they were off swimming and to ballet class. When the three of
them aren't back when Kevin returns home from work, he gets a
little concerned and calls Alison's mum to be told Alison isn't
there and oh by the way, did he know that Alison attacked her
very own mother the other day when she threw her out of the flat.
On a completely different note, why on earth is there a Kandinsky
print in that flat when everything else is pretty tasteless?
Bland Danny and Sharon return from Blackpool and while Sharon
is all gurns and Danny-this and Danny-that, he's less than impressed
with complaints of trams and candyfloss not being his idea of
fun. I'm sure he would have had a much nicer time walking along
the prom eating fish and chips and ice cream, but what am I to
know? Anyway, he thanks Sally for looking after his market stall
for him and gives her a CD (it's dangerous stuff, exchanging music,
you just never know what it can lead to). Market trader George
has died and Danny is upset and wants to go to the funeral. Sharon
is also upset, especially when he tells her he's taking Sally
to the funeral with him, not her. Oh, purlease, ladies! If you
two are dim enough to fight over bland Danny, I'll throw something
at the telly screen, I swear.
Right, that's all for this week then.
Glenda :-)
