Sarah Lou returns to school to face taunts from her classmates and finds a nappy-wearing baby doll in her locker. When Candice stands up for her friend, she's rewarded with a visit from a furious Gail who hears that Candice's mum doesn't want her daughter hanging around her pregnant bezzie mate. Worse is to come, after Alison spots Gail in the maternity clinic and wrongly assumes Gail must be pregnant. She tells Kevin and before you know it, the talk in the Rovers is all about Gail and the new Platt baby: "It's not natural, having a baby at her age". Audrey walks in and hears this, shocked that everyone knows about the baby, then goes and puts her big foot in it by inadvertently putting them all straight with the news that it's Sarah Lou who's expecting, not Gail. Of course, when Gail finds out what Audrey's done, she's definitely not best pleased, and there's a good scene in the Rovers when Blanche gets vitriolic and very obnoxious - as Martin and Gail present a united front, holding hands together on the bar top, in defiance of the gossip. Meanwhile, Martin gets promoted at work and still he and Rebecca moan on at each other about how hard their relationship is, how difficult things are between them, and how much they want to be together.

Mike asks Mark to be the best man at the wedding and Linda gets all excited, planning, organising and reading 'I Do' magazine until Nita points out that Mike has just agreed to a date for the wedding to keep Linda's mind off the sales job at the factory. Linda tackles Mike about it, and he agrees he'd be happier if she was a little wifey at home, he knows how to handle that sort of woman, but Linda knows just how to handle this sort of bloke. She gets her own way and Mike sends her out chasing up a sales lead, but unfortunately she doesn't get the order. Worse still, her train has been delayed on yon side of the Pennines. Mark offers to drive out to collect her, and the pair of them end up in an hotel room, for an hour. Not long enough to empty the mini bar, nick the bath towels, order smoked salmon on room service, and use the bed for trampoline practise, but I'm sure they thought of something else to do.

I don't know if I dare admit this, but I actually (cough, splutter) warmed to bland Danny (just a little) this week. He actually seemed a bit (steady... steady) human. Sally wants them to get a shop together instead of the market stall but he's dragging his heels on the whole issue until Sally tackles him about his reluctance. He tells her that his mum has had an angina attack, but there's more to his reticence, he's frightened of his feelings for Sally and when they both finally admit what they mean to each other, hugged and said "By 'eck, what have we done?", Sally's asked him to move in with her and the girls, and he's said yes (but still looked terrified).

And elsewhere on the Street this week:- Gwen's in deep trouble and organised a loan for £2,000, telling Jim she'd had a win on the bingo. Gary seems to have pulled himself together, back on the window cleaning round, drinking in the Rovers, with the kids in a nursery. Curly sent off an application to join a dating agency. And still no sign of the lovely Spider.
