Up on the red rec, Toyah and the lovely Spider camp out hoping to catch a glimpse of the eclipse this week. However, something occurs under canvas between them both, more momentous and exciting than anything going on in the heavens. (The general opinion of the eclipse here was 'it was a bit crap'). Back at Aunty Em's, she asks them both how it was. "Er.. cosmic" says Toyah. Spider's not so sure and spends most of the week afterwards trying to avoid her. Leanne tells Spider if he doesn't do the decent thing with Toyah, she'll tell Les (scary) but Spider really does seem confused, poor soul. Finally though, it looks like Toyah is going to get her man after she storms round to see him at Aunty Em's and demands to know what's going on. After a couple of snogs the pair of them seem a lot happier, so there you go. True love or what?

Jack gets ready for his triple heart by-pass surgery at hospital and before he gets wheeled away to the operating theatre, manages to tell Vera "I love you, Vee". There's a bit of a shock for Jack when he comes round after the op - Terry is back in Weatherfield and Jack is not best pleased. Vera still fails to see (or rather, recognise) any of her son's failings but Jack reminds her this is the bloke who was ready to sell their own grandson. It looks like Jack is making a full recovery but he tells Vera he wants Terry out of the B&B before he leaves hospital next week. Meanwhile, Terry picks on young Tyrone at the B&B and eyes up Sharon Gaskell when he finds out she's now the owner of The Kabin and probably worth a bit of money. Now then Terry, you can do what you want with Sharon. She's big enough to take care of herself, but lay off cuddly Tyrone!

With Ken now working as a trolley pusher at Freshco (and awarded a gold star by Curly for passing his induction!), Blanche is on her high horse, trying to get Deirdre back into her old job at Underworld. She visits both Emily and Mike and pushes them to accept Deirdre back there. Only one problem, Deirdre doesn't want to go back. Blanche is wonderful, she really is, telling Deirdre "you're a very lucky young lady" that Mike was willing to accept her back at the factory. Of course, when Mike finds out that Ken has such a menial job, he feels it only his duty to drive past in the Merc with dolly-bird Linda by his side and give Ken a bit of verbal abuse; a sort of "drive-by slagging off" really. Emily tries to get to grips with the computer system at Underworld and tries to understand database and downloading over the breakfast table.

Poor Ashley. First he was told he couldn't have Gary as his best man. Now, Maxine's telling him where he's going on his honeymoon and organises Tom as the new best man. It's time for Ashley to put his foot down, and after a great scene in the Rovers when Gary and Kevin wax lyrical about the best way to handle women, he finishes his pint and storms off home, ready to tell Maxine he's in charge. Unfortunately, he doesn't get the chance, she sweet talks him as soon as he steps through the door and he just ends up sitting there with that lickle grin on his face. Again.

Glenda :-)
