Jack knew that Terry was up to no good all along and now he's
been proved right. Terry packs his bags and tells Vera he's taking
little Tommy back to Sheffield for a visit. Jack wonders why Terry's
taking all of his belongings with him rather than just an overnight
bag but doesn't say anything to Vera. Of course, Terry doesn't
go to Sheffield, he goes to Blackpool where he sells little Tommy
back to the Ortons for the grand sum of £10,000. A one-off
deal is negotiated which means that little Tommy will probably
be big, old and grey Tommy by the time Jack and Vera see him again,
if they ever do. Mrs Orton just happens to be passing by the Rovers
and calls in to see Vera, to make sure she's not too upset about
losing little Tommy once more, this time forever. Vera knows nothing
about it, she's angry and distraught when she realises what Terry
has done, the scumbag! She's furious with Terry and tells Betty
to take down Terry's photograph from her mantelpiece and throw
it in the bin. She's straight on the solicitor to get Terry taken
out of her will and Jack now refuses to believe he ever really
had a son. (Actually, this is quite a touching storyline and I
have to admit I shed a tear for Vera when she was sobbing into
her sherry!).
Steven finally approves the Kbec order at Mike's factory, which
is just as well as Alma walks in with a bottle of celebratory
champagne which she bought in anticipation of the order being
accepted. Mike's problem now is that he has a load of sub-standard
clothing he needs to shift so he flogs the lot from a market stall
which Tricia helps him to run. He enjoys himself so much on the
market stall that he helps Claire (Des' girlfriend) to sell her
china plates from the stall next to his.
Josie has cycled off into the sunset. Mind you, I wouldn't put
up with Don's miserable face either. Don receives a letter from
Josie's solicitor asking for her share of the money which she
invested in to the garage - £20,000. When Friday comes around
and it's pay-day, Don tells Kevin he can't issue any cheques without
Josie's signature, he's stalling as he hasn't got any money and
Kevin's beginning to realise something is wrong. Don is telling
everyone that Josie has had to go and visit her mother who's taken
ill.
The old folks are up in arms at Mayfield Court. The new character,
Lily Dempsy, and Percy look set to stage a protest to stop the
renaming of Mayfield Court old folks home to "The Alfred
Roberts Court". Roy takes Percy a history book of the area
showing why Mayfield Court was so called, all adding fuel to Percy's
fire to stop the renaming of the place. Reference was made to
Phyllis Pearce being ill (which she is in real life - suffering
from angina and out of the show for a while) and that's why it
seems Lily Dempsy has been introduced into the show.
Raquel wants more out of life than to make Curly's tea and look
beautiful. Now that she's been sacked from the Rovers, she places
an advert in the local paper and opens her aromatherapy massage
parlour in her living room, her first client being Judy Mallett.
When Curly comes home to find a note on the living room door reading
"Do not enter - client within" he's not best pleased
and argues with Raquel, who defends her right to do something
with her life other than wait on Curly hand and foot. When Raquel
spots another aromatherapy course advertised in the newspaper
she wants to apply for it and at first Curly isn't happy, but
he then encourages her to go for it, even though it's hundreds
of miles away.
The McDonald clan are looking as glum as ever when they go to
visit Steve in prison. Liz wants to start dividing up hers and
Jim's possessions for their divorce but Jim tells her he doesn't
want anything - what use is a houseful of furniture to him?, he
asks. More bad news for Jim comes when Liz gets a phone call from
Belfast to say that Jim's mother has died. As if that wasn't bad
enough for the bloke, she then tells Jim she won't be going to
the funeral with him, as she's not part of the family any more.
Andy offers to go to the funeral with Jim instead.
Alec and Rita have tea together and he tells Rita of his plans
to start a new theatrical agency.
