Hayley and Roy plan their wedding, asking Alma to be matron of honour, and she accepts. Roy is less sure who to ask to be his best man and Hayley has to deter him from asking Gail, so he asks Martin instead. They plan their honeymoon in York and Hayley starts making her wedding dress using the sewing machines in the factory.

Gary's now taken up window cleaning and Emily gives him a bottle of 'Percy's preparation', a formula Mr Sugden discovered during the war and guaranteed to clean the smeariest of windows. (What do you mean, there's no such word as smeariest?)

When Alma finds out she has to go on a training course in Birmingham, Mike arranges to go to the rag trade ball alone, so he can spend the night with juicy Julia in her hotel room. Just when things are looking up for Mike, in walks Alma after her course was cancelled and Mike and Julia's night of passion will have to wait a while longer.

Tyrone turns up on the Street, sleeping rough in the bins at the back of Freshco until Curly takes pity on him and offers him a job collecting trolleys in the store. Kevin arrives back on the Street, and he and Curly have a heart to heart about how they both ran away from their problems and came back to face them. Crikey. Since when have Kevin and Curly turned into 'new men'? I can't handle it, and preferred them as the neanderthals we all knew and loved.

Leanne has her abortion but tells everyone it was a miscarriage. However, when Gail rattles on about her sensitive son, Nick, Leanne tells Gail the truth, that Nick paid for her to have the abortion done, quick sharp in a private hospital.

Ken and Deirdre's relationship attracts a few comments on the Street with Audrey telling them they're both like 'Summat out of a Catherine Cookson'. When Audrey comments to Rita that Ken and Deirdre have a lot of mileage between them, Rita sagely replies, in a moment of pure poetry: "Mileage doesn't count, it's destination that matters".

With Kevin back on the Street, Alison isn't best pleased to find out he's been back all weekend without contacting her, yet he's already been to see Sally and the girls. Coronation Street's own Hinge & Bracket, (Alison and Linda) mope in the Rovers about men, life and the universe while Sally and Sharon gossip about Nat "She's had more men than the grand old duke of York!"

That's all for this week.
