It's Derek's birthday and he can cry if he wants to, yes, cry
if he wants to. You would cry too if you were married to Mavis!
Derek hits the big 6-0 and he is so certain that Mavis has arranged
a surprise party for him that he happily goes off to work, telling
Mavis he'll be back in time to meet all his friends he's sure
she will have rallied round to drink a birthday toast to him.
Problem is, Mavis thinks Derek is only 59 and hasn't arranged
anything for his birthday so when he comes home to an empty house,
he's rather upset, as you can imagine.
Jack and Vera can no longer keep Terry's awful secret from Trisha
and tell her that he sold little Tommy not once, but twice, to
the Hortons. But, Trisha is so desperate for a man in her life
that she chooses to believe that Terry had little Tommy's interests
at heart when he sold his own son and vows to track him down and
tell him about baby duck-egg.
Nick Platt is still missing and Gail is pulling some amazing facial
expressions as she gets upset and wonders what's become of her
son. The bank tell Martin that Nick has used his card to withdraw
money from a cash machine in Leeds and both Ken and Don distribute
posters around the area hoping that someone will recognise Nick.
While Gail is at home crying and fretting, she gets Roy Cropper
to work in the cafe for her.. and he reveals to Audrey his secret
lottery syndicate theory. Which, my husband tells me, has every
chance of succeeding but I just didn't understand it (although
I didn't admit it, of course).
Alf gets a private visit from a fellow council member, who asks
Alf if he's still interested in having Coronation Street renamed
after him. When Alf says he is, the council chap confides to Alf
about the plan to build a ring road around Weatherfield - one
that will go right through the middle of Coronation Street, which
will of course, have to be crushed to the ground!. He advises
Alf that if he wants a street in the area named after him for
eternity, he'd be better off choosing one that wasn't planned
to be demolished in the future. But what does this mean for the
residents of our favourite programme? Will they too, go when the
bulldozers come roaring in? Or will they mount a campaign to save
their cobbles and stone cladding?
When a leading member of the Square Dealers passes on to the great
rectangle in the sky, a vacancy in the Masons er.. sorry... Square
Dealers opens up for prospective members. Both Derek and Jack
are hoping to be the person to fill that cubic space, and Fred
Elliot is the one who will decide which one of them becomes a
member. "You scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours"
he tells Jack. Fred isn't too keen on Derek as he doesn't eat
enough red meat, so Jack is the more likely looking candidate
so far.
Hooray! At last! Liz has decided to sell the house to Jim. Thank
goodness for that.
Josie comes back to the Street after seeing posters in town appealing
for help in tracking down Nick. She comforts Gail before popping
round to see Don, who is absolutely legless (sorry, couldn't resist
that one!). He's blind drunk and offers Josie a can of beer, spraying
it all over himself before slumping down into his chair. Josie
asks what has happened to the garage as she noticed it was closed,
but Don is too drunk to tell her.
Des and Claire set sail on their holiday, with one problem - Becky!
She was supposed to be staying with her grandparents but instead
joined them on the boat, which isn't big enough to swing a cat
never mind a teenager. Des' cosy sleeping arrangements are disrupted
when Becky wants to sleep with her mum, and Des gets relegated
to the broom cupboard with a sleeping bag.
Gary Mallett takes Samantha out for a ride on his motorbike while
Judy is at work. When Judy comes into the Rovers, Samantha almost
tells her that she'd been out with Gary on the bike but before
she can spill the beans and risk a thump round the lug hole from
Judy, Gary swiftly dances Judy out of the Rovers and they go for
a curry.
Mike has left Sally in charge of the factory and the office while
he goes on holiday for a few days, much to Ida Clough's disgust.
Sally revels in her new position, but all Kevin can do is have
a good moan to her when she comes home from work. Now you'd think
that after Sally has looked after him and pandered to Kevin's
every whim for the last few hundred episodes, that Kevin would
at least try to understand and support Sally, but, alas not. So
then, if the spoiler I've heard this week is true, then it's no
surprise to learn that Sally... read on only if you have nerves of steel for a BIG spoiler......
is set to HAVE AN AFFAIR WITH MIKE BALDWIN!!!
