Vera's at her wits end, wondering if Emma will turn her in
to the police for harbouring her criminal son in the shed. It's
all a bit tense. Curly begs Emma not to tell and in the end, after
wrestling with her conscience, Emma gives in and says she'll keep
quiet - this time. Emma and Curly go round to Vera's to give her
the good news, she's over the moon as you'd expect and Emma has
twins. No, sorry, I read my notes wrong. Emma has a twinge. She
has a funny turn and has to sit down after feeling a bit dizzy
- Granada's little way of reminding us it's almost Christmas +
Emma is just about to give birth = ratings rocket for another
Chrimbo baby.
Roy asks Ken to give a talk in the cafe to the Weatherfield
Historical Society. Ken, well qualified to talk about old stuff,
agrees. The Chair of the society, Anita (yet another woman on
the street with another name ending in the letter "a")
takes a fancy to Ken. In her mini skirt, long boots and with come
hither eyes, she's got the hots for old Barlow and Blanche warns
Deirdre to keep an eye on her. Over a drink in the Rovers, she
tells Ken she'd like to interview him for her column in What's
on Weatherfield. Ken agrees and Anita looks forward to taking
down Ken's particulars.
Eileen continues to put on a brave face as Les continues his
breakdown. He's not doing well and turns the screw as much as
he can every time he bumps into Janice or Dennis. In the corner
shop, Janice tells him what to buy for his tea and when Dennis
finds them, he isn't best pleased and warns Les to stay away from
them both. Toyah's doing her best to look after Les at home and
as she and Sam go to Janice's for Sunday dinner, she tells Les
"I've left you a pie in the fridge". Words which would
keep most blokes I know feeling quite happy. Unless of course
they didn't like pies, or, er, they didn't have a fridge. At lunch
in the new place, Les turns up in tears with a Christmas card
from Leanne which he reads out to all present, bringing tears
to everyone's eyes. He's turning the tables on Dennis as much
as he can as often as possible. Meanwhile Eileen gathers her boys
around her for comfort and support, they're as hurt as she is
at the betrayal by Dennis. When she finds out that Dennis has
been working on Jason's bike, she storms round to the flat to
tell him to stay away from her boys. In fact, she suggests he
keep as far away as possible and move out of Weatherfield. And
when Jason finds out that Dennis has been working on his bike
in the garage, he clocks him one round the chops with his left
hand. There was some wonderful dialogue again this week when Eileen
talks to Gail about Dennis. "Men, eh? You get over one and
then lie under another".
And as for Gail this week, well, she rings Richard and leaves
a message on his ansaphone but he doesn't call back. Instead,
he turns up days later at her front door saying he's been working
away all week in the Lakes and hadn't got her messages from his
machine. She's overjoyed to see him but he still doesn't come
clean and when David tackles him as to why he hadn't returned
his mum's calls, he tells him his mobile phone has been out of
action. So he's still lying and leading Gail on for some reason
and as they stand in the living room, he does one of those faces
over her shoulder as he hugs her. You know, one of "those"
faces. So, he's wheedled his way back into Gail's heart and her
bed. David warns him he's got his eye on him, so he'd best not
hurt his mum again, and Richard really did look rather worried.
But then, he probably has every right to.
Over at the Rovers, Shelley wants to put up the Chrimbo decorations
but can't find them anywhere. Eventually she finds the box of
decorations in the back yard on the dustbin. Geena had thrown
them out, hoping for some stylish and new ones, not the old red
and green ones that have seen better days. There's more excitement
(more! I know!) when Duggie announces to the ladies wot work there
that he's selling up and moving out. After Dev belittles Gena
that being a barmaid is beneath her, she announces her decision
to buy the lease from Duggie. "My name's gonna be above that
door" she tells Dev. I hope she's wrong. I sincerely hope
she's wrong.
Tyrone's been clocking the mileage on cars for Karl after the
money proves irresistible to him and to Fiz. Karl pays Tyrone
50% of the money up front and he and Fiz go out clubbing, causing
Tyrone to miss work the next day with a hangover. Celebrating
their ill gotton gains later in the Rovers, Tyrone surprises Fiz
with matching red, white and black leather jackets. Poor lad.
Plans for Christmas dinner were being made this week. When
Peter finds out Shelley has nowhere to go, he invites her along
to dinner at the Barlows and although Deirdre agrees, she and
Blanche raise their eyebrows in unison, meaning only one thing.
Blanche tells her: "You'll have to make more of an effort
with the turkey. It were very dry last year."
Eve's making noises about wanting to move out of Elliot mansions.
It reminds her too much of Fred's first wife Sybil and she'd like
somewhere new to call her own. She mentions this to Duggie who
in turn tells Fred, who puts it to Eve that should she fancy a
change of decor, he's open to suggestion. But it goes further
than that, she tells Fred she wants to move. Maxine tells Eve
that she needs to decorate anyway, to get the place ready for
sale. While the decorating takes place, Ashley tells Fred and
Eve they can move in chez Peacocks. Maxine's not best pleased
but you just know this will be fun.
And finally this week, Candice says "can do" to Sarah
who offers to, like, make up and become, like, friends again,
or what?
And that's just about that for this week.
