Alf still wants to press ahead with the name change
of Coronation Street to "Alfred Roberts Place". Audrey,
who as we know, can keep a secret as well as a sieve can hold
vodka, tells Rita about Alf's plan "Tho' why he wants a dingy
little back street named after him, I'll never know". Rita
tells Jack Duckworth and before you know it, everyone on the Street
knows. Audrey then tells Rita it's top secret and she shouldn't
tell anyone about Alf's news (too late!). Audrey and Alf are organising
a drinks party at their house, where the great name change is
to be revealed to a (supposedly) surprised gathering of friends
and relatives.
Tony's father decides that Don's business proposition isn't worth
investing in. When Tony tells Don this, Don is devastated and
Tony ends up resigning from his job. Don then goes to visit his
bank, to ask for more capital to inject into the garage. He isn't
too honest with the bank at first, and doesn't tell them that
Josie has pulled out of the partnership. When the truth comes
out, the bank won't lend Don any more money. In fact, they decide
to pull in the £6,000 that Don already owes them, saying
that Don is trading illegally if he is still trading knowing that
the business isn't viable. Kevin tells Sally he has decided finally
to go into partnership with Don, but waits until Don comes back
from his meeting at the bank before giving him the good news.
However, Kevin soon changes his mind when Don tells him what's
happening, that he could go bankrupt. Upset and angry, Kevin and
Don argue and Kevin threatens to resign but Don calms down and
Kevin stays (but for how long?).
Could Kevin become a house-husband? Well, that certainly could
be the case now that Sally has got herself a proper job at Baldwin's
factory! Mike takes her on as a machinist after she asks him for
a job and she loves it, she entertains the other girls there with
tales of her children and wants to go for a drink with Ida and
Trisha after work, but Kevin puts his foot down and says she can't
go. Kevin is worried for his future, his place in society as chief
breadwinner looks like crumbling from beneath him.
Who needs enemies when you've got friends like Maxine? No sooner
than you can you say "short back and sides", Maxine
and Tony are wrapped around each other playing tonsil hockey.
A night out is arranged at the Hour Glass pub where Liz works.
Curly, Andy, Maxine, Anne and Tony all go out together and the
evening ends up with Maxine, yes MAXINE, and Tony, yes TONY, snogging
in the corner. Maxine asks Fiona if she's missing Tony and when
Fiona admits she is, Maxine goes to see Tony again to say that
there is a chance that Tony could make things up with Fiona if
he wanted to. But, it's not Fiona he wants now (as he starts eating
away at Maxine's lips again).
Fiona goes to visit Steve in prison one more time, and tells him
that she won't be going to see him again, this is the last time
she'll visit him. Steve rings Fiona in the salon and begs her
to reconsider but Fiona has made her mind up. While this phone
call is taking place there's an excellent comic scene going on
in the background between Roy Cropper and Maxine. Roy is extolling
the virtues of petroleum jelly and admits he used to make his
own "but petrol isn't cheap these days and Coconuts aren't
two a penny".
Alec is thinking of starting up another theatrical agency, and
wonders where he can showcase all this new talent he's going to
round up off the streets of Weatherfield. In the Rovers, he chats
to Anne (Andy's girlfriend) and she tells him to move with the
times, to use pubs as his entertainment venues. "What sort
of pubs?" he asks her "Pubs like this one" she
replies. Oh dear, I fear we'll be seeing "Whistling Cliff
Leadbetter and his juggling ponies" entertaining the old
folk in the Rovers' snug before long.
Kelly tells Ken she will stay on to look after Danny on a day
care basis, and also take in Sally's children during the day time.
Everyone seems fine with this arrangement until Sally's first
day at work comes around. She's 10 minutes late in picking up
her children and Kelly is throwing a wobbler as she wanted to
dash off and meet someone (probably Ashley).
Judy and Gary Mallett are having a catalogue of disasters in their
house. Judy wants to order all sorts of useless household appliances
from her mum's catalogue and Gary is very much against her reckless
spending. The only thing he knows about catalogues is "I
learned all I needed to know about women from looking at the underwear
section of me mam's catalogue". So, when a DIY conservatory
arrives in a van, he's really annoyed with Judy. However,it's
not Judy that's ordered the conservatory, it's her mother, who
actually won the conservatory in a competition and gave it to
her daughter and son in law. What *are* they going to do with
it?
Major Spoiler Alert Ahead.....
I have heard this from a friend of a friend of a man who heard
it in the pub, so it could be inaccurate! Trisha will find out
she is pregnant with Terry Duckworth's child!!
