Still reeling from making a fool of herself, Alma is embarrassed
when Steven pays her a visit. She apologises profusely for her
actions and Steven tells Alma that it's okay (but it's obvious
he isn't interested in her). Audrey is confused at first, she
wonders what's been going on between her friend and her son but
then she realises that Alma must have made a pass at Steven, because
"she's all big eyes and come on". Audrey goes to see
Steven in his hotel to find out what happened but Steven defends
Alma's honour and he tells Audrey that Alma ran out of his room
distressed when HE made a pass at HER Alma tells Gail what has
happened, and wonders if she should tell Mike but Gail advises
Alma to keep quiet. Audrey confronts Alma and tells her that she
knows what happened but is dumbfounded when Alma tells her the
truth.
Andy isn't doing very well in his relationship with Ann. They
go to the Rovers together but when Curly comes in, Ann is more
interested in talking to Curly about work than in talking to Andy.
When Des stays out all night, Andy assumes that Ann will want
to stay overnight with him but Ann goes home, complaining that
Andy is taking her for granted.
Mike Baldwin pays a visit to the print shop. Vicky and Steve are
prepared for Mike to tell them that he's throwing them out when
he opens his new clothing factory but he tells them they can stay.
He wants them to think he's being nice to them, when really, he
already has plans for opening a new factory because of the grants
and incentives that are available from the local council. Mike
finds an old file which has details of his past employees in it,
he plans to contact the ones he would like working again for him
in his new factory.
Mavis complains about Kelly's attitude to child-rearing after
Kelly jokes that she gives Danny chocolate and crisps at mealtimes.
In the Rovers, Betty tells Jack a story about a haunted pub she
visited that drew guests in to see the ghost. Jack thinks he might
cash in on the fact that Ivy's ghost is floating around the place
by selling his story to a local paper in the hope that it will
bring more customers into the pub. Jack contacts the local paper
and 2 reporters come around to write a feature on the haunted
Rovers. Not one to miss an opportunity, Jack then has Vicky and
Steve print some t-shirts which say "Rovers Return - try
our spirits" on the front, complete with pictures of 2 ghosts,
and on the back it reads "And our beers are out of this world
too!" Don thinks things have gone too far and tells Jack
that the exorcism wasn't real. Jack says he knows it wasn't real
of course, but Vera still believes that Ivy is floating around
the pub and so Don and Josie have to break the news to Vera aswell,
who takes it badly.
Judy Mallet's mother makes an appearance on the street this week.
She's from Gable Street - the gasworks end. She finds out there
is a cleaning job going in the Rovers and is interviewed by Vera
(who uses her poshest voice ever!) and then given the job. Trisha
is also after the cleaning job and is furious with Jack when she
hears that someone else has the job after she promised "she'd
make it worth his while" to give her a job. When she said
this, she placed her hand firmly over Jack's own, and you know
exactly what she meant!
Denise pays one last visit to the salon as Fiona takes over her
business. On her way out, Denise sees Kelly with baby Danny and
there is a tearful farewell to her baby before she finally leaves.
More problems in the McDonald household. Jim is working with Bill
on an old people's home but leaves Bill on his own as he goes
home early to check up on Liz - he doesn't trust her enough and
still thinks that she has something going on with Des. When he
arrives home unexpectedly, Deidre is in the house but Liz is nowhere
to be seen, she is out shopping, but Jim won't believe this. He
sits and waits for Liz to return, his thoughts tormenting him,
so by the time she does come back home, he is uncontrollable.
He starts ranting and raving, accusing Liz of adultery implies
that she has been to see Des instead of going shopping. Liz tries
to calm Jim but he won't have it. Finally, Liz tells Jim exactly
where she has been, to a travel agent to book a break for them
both to visit Jim's mother in Belfast and she gives Jim the tickets
as proof of where she has been. Jim realises what a fool he has
been and breaks down sobbing into Liz's arms, telling her how
sorry he is..
