After allergic altercations with Monica and worries over Mr Wu when he killed him with kindness by stuffing him with chocolate, it's surprising that Norris should be allowed another pet.  But when Monty the moggy crawls into Emily's backyard, Norris feeds him up with Emily's fish supper.  Monty (reminiscent of Rommel, Hilda's old cat) is dressed with a pink collar from Norris who tells Emily he's offering the cat "a little bit of shelter in a cruel world".  With their big hair and pastel cardis, Emily and Rita discuss Norris in the Rovers but then when Monty goes missing, Norris is worried to bits. 

There's much shouting and petulance this week when Gail loses her cool with Sarah who tells her she's moving into Todd's flat. Gail agrees that Sarah and Beth could stay there overnight,  but Sarah's got no intention of ever moving back home. Martin's more laid back about the whole situation which makes Gail even more red in the face and bulging in the eyes.  But then Martin's got other things on his mind…

… like spending the night with Katy Nelson.  Well, Katy's getting ready to go to Martin's flat after telling Tommy she's going to stay in and watch telly while her parents are at the pub.  So when Kev tells Tommy he needs a babysitter for Sophie, Tommy tells him to bring her round to their house for Katy to look after.  When Tommy and Kev have disappeared, Katy takes Sophie to Todd and Sarah's flat and dumps her there while she goes to Martin's place for some creepy kind of lovin'.  Anyway, when Kev finds out that Katy dumped Sophie he complains to Martin, who defends Katy. And later, when Kev spies Martin and Katy having a cosy conversation later on the street, he tells Sally that he thinks there's something strange going on.

Now that Rosie Webster is a star of the stage school, Sally drags Kevin along to the first public performance.  Thankfully, we don't get to see it.  It was embarrassing enough watching Rozi (new stage name) being put through her paces by ambitious mum Sally as Rita and Rozi shimmied in the kitchen for the camcorder that Fred has given them on loan.

Les loses his cool, shouts a bit more and drinks a bit more than he did last week and threatens Mick with a crow bar.  What a waste of space this character is, always has been and always will be.  Still desperately trying to sell his house, Curly asks Janice to dob Les in with the council by writing a letter to say he's in breach of his tenancy agreement as he's living in a house meant for a family and sub-letting to Kirk.  

There are opposing views of Eileen in our house: one is that she's wonderful and one is that she's wasted. I'm of the latter opinion. Sue Cleaver has so much potential and started off great when she joined the cast but we're not seeing her talents as best as we could.  Anyway, Eileen continues to hold house and home together without help from her good for nothing son and lazy, crippled ex who lie around on the sofa all day begging money and chips.  And now she's started getting hassle from a loan shark for the £225 that she owes for Jason's car.

And that's just about that for this week.
