Yee haa. Mice playing time, Glenda's away and the lunatics have taken over the asylum. Sadly this update is running late due to a combination of leaves on the line, a holiday in France and the wrong kind of snow - please take your pick.
And what strange events in the Street. Violet is distraught and unhappy. Her live in lover (Jamie of the strange hair cut) appears to prefer spending time drinking and consorting with Sean the gay barman - indeed she even spots them hugging in public in the Rovers. Now which conclusion would you adopt - has he gone off me and gone gay? Of course - and Violet you could not be much more wrong. Sean keeps trying to re-assure Violet that Jamie is straight and later he tries to keep his distance from Jamie and then send him home where Violet is cooking a special dinner.
Danny starts the week with a new partner he does not want in the factory. But after a couple of days barrow boy and Street trader Liam points out to Danny that: a) he owns 40% and b) he will work for next to nothing and c) he is probably very good, so Danny relents and makes him number two boss. Both Danny and Liam ask Hayley to spy on the other one for them! Poor Hayley she can hardly know which way to turn (but then perhaps she never did). All seems to be going better between Danny and Liam - until the latter decides to come clean about the girl he is now seeing. Danny tells him to lay off the ones in the workforce who are spoken for (are there any single ones we know of?) but Liam cannot leave it alone and tells Danny that it is actually Frankie. Danny really must feel that life is kicking him when he is down. Especially when he sees Frankie and Liam setting up a date across the road from the factory. Later Danny buys Liam and Frankie a drink in the Rovers - Frankie spots that they are like two kids scrapping over a sweet. Later Frankie tells Violet that she is thinking of dumping Liam. Before long Liam works out
that he is about to be dumped and accepts the inevitable. Then Liam goes to see Danny and implies that he dumped Frankie!
Audrey suffers the arrival of a hoodie - apparently in the house when she returns from the Rovers. The deaf kid ignores the door closing until Audrey shouts at him - then he runs right past her and out the front door. Audrey summons Fred rather than Gail - which seems odd to me. The following day Bev sends Fred off to Audrey with some flowers to cheer her up. Fred confides in Audrey that he is not sure about moving away and retiring. He is worried about Ashley, Claire and the kids if he is not nearby. Fred also realises that Audrey will no longer be on hand.
Steve and Liz have "bought" the Rovers - they are going to take over the pub with Liz in charge. Steve was hoping to get the flat to himself and stop living with his mother - but the money did not work out and he is going to have to live at the Rovers - well at least Michelle will not need a cab home very often in future. Liz makes the mistake of ringing the bell for last orders one evening - Bev is extremely put out and Liz promises not to repeat it until she is actually the boss.
Do you want to know about Norris, Rita, the pen, the steak knives and the trip to Budapest? No nor do I. Anyway Ken is in charge of the Kabin and Rita will not be sharing a bedroom with Norris (do you want to know anymore than that - I assume it was intended to be a comedy piece but it was rather laboured).
Charlie cons Tracy into giving him a pass to a mate's stag night in Leeds. Odd that Maria is away for two nights on a training course in Birmingham. My geography was never very good but I reckon that Charlie has a far better chance of getting a bed in Brum than of ever finding a mate in Leeds. Before he goes he gets a warning from Tracy that if he misbehaves on the stag night she will not be there when he returns.
Fiz celebrates a birthday - Kirk fails to deliver a present first thing in the morning - although Chesney gives her a pair of pink furry dice. She thinks that Kirk will be buying her a car. When she finishes work Kirk is waiting outside with a bright red car - he has borrowed it for her driving lessons. She starts hitting him with her new handbag as a gift from the factory girls and breaks the handle!
The wedding of the year is coming - Bev has Shelley visiting to help with the preparations - Fred is sent packing. Shelley, looking a little larger than we remember and with a new hairdo, arrives in a black cab to a mouthful of abuse from Tracy who sees her across the Street. Shelley claims she has been eating a lot and living the high life in front of Betty. Bev notes that Shelley is not drinking. Bev keeps pushing the point and then asks her if she is pregnant. Shelley does not deny it. Fred gives her a huge hug - Bev asks the big question - who is the father? Shelley tries to say nothing. Bev works it out - it is Charlie Stubbs. Shelley nods. (Can we start a campaign for Shelley to come back please?). Shelley tries to explain events to Bev, they row. Bev tries to convince Shelley that she should have an abortion - but Shelley is adamant she is keeping it. Shelley sees the baby as a positive for the future - a new start and a baby to go with it. Shelley runs out and Bev follows her - but runs into Deirdre in the ginnel. Bev is crying. Bev lets Deirdre in on the big secret - the baby and the father! Bev almost immediately realises the mistake she has made. Deirdre insists on wanting to tell Tracy about the baby. Bev wants to keep it from Tracy. Tracy collects Amy and for the moment the secret is kept.
Violet and Jamie's meal is joined by both the single again Frankie and Shelley who claiming she in on anti-biotics does not drink.
Claire's absence is exciting some comment but by and large her illness have not been disclosed along the Street.
And the next week's update will be along in a little while.
