Christmas Day brings its own problems for Deirdre and Jon.
Leaving his wife to attend to "an alarm call" at work,
he rushes to Deirdre and eats a Christmas lunch there with Deirdre
and Liz, what fun. He tells Deirdre he's due back at work, and
rushes back to his wife only to find she's kept his Christmas
lunch (and pudding!) warm for him, and he has to stuff himself
all over again. He tells Deirdre that he has to work on New Years
Eve and she's really huffed with him for rushing off all the time,
leaving her on her own. Liz wonders aloud whether or not it's
Jon's work that takes him away from Deirdre.. perhaps it's actually
another woman? Deirdre laughs off the suggestion, saying she trusts
Jon (bad move Deidre!) but she does confront him about Liz's suggestion
and although there's a slight worried look across his unshakeable
features, he denies all. (However, all is set to be revealed tomorrow
night - New Years Eve - when Deirdre finds out the truth).
Sally and Kevin are back together after Kevin joins her and
Rita and his daughters for Christmas lunch. While Sally is happy
to have her hubby back under the matrimonial roof, she still doesn't
trust Kevin or Natalie, and tells Kevin he wants him to stop working
with Natalie in the garage and asks him to sell his share of the
garage. Kevin doesn't want to do this, for financial reasons,
but also because he probably still feels a lot for Natalie even
though he hasn't yet admitted it. Natalie is taken under the wing
of Jack, Vera, Alec and Betty for Christmas lunch in the back
room of the Rovers where they're all quite protective of her.
Kevin tells Natalie he's gone back to Sally and that it's over
between them both, she tells Kevin she's going to reinstate Chris
but Chris isn't very keen on going back to work with Kevin after
all that has happened.
Zoe continues to live with Ashley, and Maxine is still not
speaking to him, being very jealous of his friendship with Zoe.
When Uncle Fred comes into the house and meets baby Katie he leans
over the little bundle and bellows "Hallo little baby!".
Zoe tries to show her er.. appreciation to Ashley for all his
help but he tells her he isn't interested in her and he still
wants Maxine. Zoe is offered a room in a hostel for herself and
the baby and she's all set to move in, but Ashley tells her not
to leave, and says she can stay in the house, and that Maxine
will have to handle her jealousy. Zoe is refusing to let Gary
and Judy see the baby under any circumstances.
Judy and Gary want to give the £2,000 back to Judy's
boss after agreeing that Zoe should keep the baby. Gary wants
to come with Judy when she returns the money but she insists on
going alone. She hands in her notice at the arcade, and it's obvious
that she and her boss did the business before he handed over the
money and it doesn't look like he wants to forget about it. It'll
be quite ironic if she becomes pregnant now... Gary tells Martin
the truth about paying Zoe the money for the baby, and Martin
of course tells Gail, and Nick overhears the story. He tells Leanne,
who had known the truth all along but Judy had denied the truth,
so Leanne goes to see Judy in the Rovers, giving her a hard time
for calling Leanne a liar in the first place.
I had a few chuckles at Spider this week. He's taken to smoking
"herbal cigarettes" in Emily's house. Ken goes there
for tea and is appalled that Spider should be rolling joints in
Emily's living room. "It's okay" he says "Aunty
Em is cool with it". Ken has a quiet word with Emily in the
Rovers but Emily says she knows what Spider is doing but she prefers
him to smoke in the house rather than elsewhere as he already
has history with the police and she doesn't want him in any more
trouble.
Alf Roberts tells Audrey, in confidence, that the council have
decided to bulldoze the red rec and remove some trees to build
a concert bowl for the millenium celebrations. As usual, Audrey
spreads the news like wildfire and when Toyah finds out, she's
straight round to see Spider to give him the news. Spider is up
in arms, he can't and won't let this happen. Roy joins Spider
in his campaign to save the red rec, telling him in the Rovers
that there's a lot of "horny groundwort" on the red
rec. And there's some of it behind the bar in the Rovers, she's
called Natalie.
Well, that's just about all for this week. Next week will be
a new year, full of new starts and new opportunities. Make the
most of it all, every single day. Have a very happy New Year,
and a great '98. See you next year.
Glenda :-)
