Terry somehow manages to sell his old mam a car. Fair do, you
might think, but he demands payment in cash and there's something
slightly odd with the whole thing. Vera's chuffed she's got a
new motor but Jack knows there's summat up. Tyrone's a star (as
usual) this week and his interaction with Vera and Jack is wonderful
to watch.
Toyah gets her exam results which include 2 B's and an A in
English. The lovely Spider encourages her to think about going
to college (good one, Spider) and Janice is over the moon for
her daughter. Les has a quiet word with Spider, telling him to
lower the volume on his noisy love-making, little knowing that
it's Toyah he can hear through the terraced wall, enjoying the
pleasure with Spider. Mind you, I think she should be a bit more
gentle with the eco-totty, it was enough to knock his beard off
this week. Meanwhile, over at Aunty Em's, Spider sits reading
a newspaper he really shouldn't have gone anywhere near, not with
his principles. Was it The Daily Mail? Was it The Express? It
certainly wasn't what Spider should have been reading, as the
principled, intelligent and damn good looking person he is. Anyway,
so he's sat there reading Tory Daily and Aunty Em wonders why
Toyah has been around the place so much, so he tells her and believe
you me, she isn't best pleased to hear that young Geoffrey is
stepping out with a Battersby.
Deirdre's back at the factory as Mike and Linda go off on their
far east excursion. Alma returns from her holiday abroad, looking
all tanned and lovely, and exchanges all the gossip with Audrey
and Gail as she cooks them both a meal at Audrey's place. Alma
brings news of a holiday romance with Antony from Kent and the
ladies in the kitchen drink a toast to her future.
Now hang on, I got a bit lost with this storyline but I'll
try my best to get it straight and make the rest of it up when
I come unstuck. So, Ashley wants to meet his real mum and invite
her to his wedding, but Fred tells him she's in Australia, which
she's not, she's local. Fred meets her and tells her all about
the son she never knew, tells her he's a fine lad and a mighty
fine butcher: "still has all his fingers". So then,
Kathleen (that's his real mum) pops into Freshco to see Ashley
who serves her at the meat counter but he doesn't know it's his
mum of course. Fred tells Beryl what's going on (she's not the
real birth mum but was the one who brought Ashley up). I can't
see where this storyline is going to be honest (anything that
goes on for more than 2 episodes has me totally confused) but
I'm sure Kathleen has been brought into Ashley's life for a reason,
we'll see.
Sharon wants to whisk bland Danny away for a dirty weekend.
(Heaven only knows what she sees in him, but there's no accounting
for taste). Anyway, she has to make sure there's someone to look
after Danny's market stall in his absence so offers Sally's help,
ensuring that Kevin takes the girls. She's got it all worked out
this one, has our Sharon, but Sally isn't best pleased, oh dearie
me, no.
Alison's parents call round to the flat and 'something' happens.
Sorry, but my mind completely drifted at this point and I don't
know what that 'something' was. Hang on, I'll just check my notes...
here we are, it says "Alison's parents arrive at the flat".
Ho-hum. I think there was a bit of an argument.
Oh, and Jim's worried that Steve will end up in the big house
again after Steve's mate Lee gets the lad involved in a run to
Amsterdam. However, it's not tobacco this time and something tells
me it's not tulips either. It could be antiques though (so I was
reliably informed).
Sidney's daughter and her husband come looking for Maude in
the Rovers and tell her they think it mightily unfair that Maude
was left 10 grand in the will, while they got nothing. Nothing
like money to bring family together, eh?
And that's about that for this week. Thanks to everyone who
sent emails and virtual cards for my birthday last week. But special
thanks indeed to the lovely person who bought me Tunnocks caramel
wafers after reading in the update the other week that they were
my favourite biscuit of all time.
Glenda :-)
