Well, the Fiona/Vicky/Steve McDonald storyline is certainly hotting
things up in the Street. As Fiona has now kicked Steve out of
the flat they shared above Jim's Cafe, Steve has been sleeping
in the print shop. When Vicky finds out that Steve is now a free
agent, she goes to see Steve late at night in the print shop when
he is just about to sleep, walks in and unbuttons her top while
he is lying in his sleeping bag - saying "Stop me if this
isn't what you want!" Well, it obviously is what he wants
as she's still there at 3.30am the next morning and sneaks back
to the Rovers as quietly as she can only to be met by a stony
faced Bet who had waited up for her. Vicky lies like mad and pretends
she was out with a friend, but Bet is guessing what is really
going on. Vicky goes back to the print shop the next night after
taking a taxi from the Rovers and makes the taxi driver go around
the block to make it seem to Bet like she is really going out.
When Vicky and Steve are tucked up in his sleeping bag again,
Steve asks Vicky to marry him!!
It's the McDonald twins 21st birthday and they both receive a
cheque for £500 each from Liz and Jim. Steve needs to get
his hands on the cash immediately so he asks Rita if she can give
him some cash against the cheque. Rita agrees to give him a small
advance of £50 after she mistakenly believes he wants the
money to take Fiona out for a meal as an apology to her. Steve
asks Fiona to the Rovers for a drink and Fiona is under the impression
that he is going to apologise to her and that they will get back
together again. However, all that Steve wanted to tell her was
that although she can keep the stereo, it is worth £200,
and if Fiona gives him £50 for it, she can keep it!
Des takes Andy out for a drunken night for his birthday and Andy
sleeps on the sofa in Des' house only to be waken when Phyllis'
vacuum cleaner keeps bumping into the sofa the next morning. Des
also buys a bottle of champagne in the Rovers to celebrate Andy's
birthday with Jim and Liz.
Raquel tells Betty that she has seen Billy Williams walking in
the street and that he looks very poorly as he's walking with
a limp. Both Bet and Racquel end up making Betty feel so guilty
that she hasn't seen Billy for some time, that Betty goes to see
Billy and it turns out that the reason he was limping is that
he has had trouble with his bunion and had been to see the chiropodist!
Alf confides in Ken about the missing money, Ken assures Alf that
the money will turn up in due course. Ken remembers that when
he ran the Recorder newspaper, council money was often going astray
due to wrongful allocation of funds, and that he often reported
this in the Recorder only to have his story proved wrong when
the money later turned up. Audrey's plans for a new conservatory
are out of the question now as Alf doesn't want her to spend any
more money on the house as he's so worried about what people will
think of him. A journalist has also been sniffing around Alf and
Audrey's house on the scent of the missing money. Even people
in the Rovers, people who know Alf are starting to wonder if her
really did steal the money.
Jack and Vera are broke. Vera owns up to not paying any bills
for a couple of months, and admits to Jack that the mortgage is
in serious arrears. Vera receives a card from Ivy in the retreat
and this gives her the idea of going to church to ask God to send
them some money! (This really is a very funny scene). Later that
week, Jack reads in a newspaper that his brother Cliff and his
wife have been killed while on holiday in Spain and now Vera is
blaming herself for Cliff's death as it happened on the same day
that she went to church to pray. Jack fishes out Cliff's last
will and testament that Cliff signed when he lived with Jack and
Vera over Christmas and wonders how much money Cliff has left
them both. Jack calls in an insurance consultant for an informal
chat but when Jack starts asking specific questions such as "how
much would a person get if a married couple died?" then the
rather young and inexperienced insurance salesman gets up and
leaves, feeling very worried about the questions Jack is asking.
Tracey has visitors in the hospital - Percy Sugden and Emily.
And Percy even makes Tracey laugh! Tracey leaves the hospital
despite Ken's wishes, and she goes to live with a brother of one
of her friends even though Ken wants her to live with him. Deidre
is due back in England next week too.
Sally is now back in the street (after taking time off to have
a baby in real life). She asks Rita to babysit but Vera Duckworth
jumps in with both feet and offers to babysit instead, saying
she could do with the money. Sally and Kevin weren't intending
to pay and feel like Vera has railroaded them.
The gnome is still missing.
