Managing not only to convince herself but her daughter and
mother as well, Deirdre plays happy families at the housewarming
event of the year. She twitters round the love nest pouring drinks
for all, with Tracy back from wherever she went to and Deirdre's
mum visiting the new house too. When Jon proposes a toast and
announces their forthcoming wedding, it's hard to know who got
most of a shock - Liz, who drops and smashes her glass on the
new carpet, or Deirdre, who knew nothing about it either. Jon
and Deirdre have a chat about Liz, and Jon suggests that Deirdre
should tell Liz to wear clothing more suitable for her age, asking
why Liz dresses like a slapper! Deidre tries to broach the subject
with Liz in the Rovers but to no avail. When Liz is working behind
the bar in the Warwick Hotel, two young lads take the micky out
of her and while she thinks she's being chatted up, they're asking
why someone her age is still walking around in mini skirts. To
his credit, Fred Eliot steps in to quieten things down, calling
Liz "a lady", I say, a lady. And I say you need new
glasses Fred, I say, new glasses.
Chris and Sally go for a romantic meal for two in the local
Italian restaurant, hoping no one will spot them, but in walks
Steve McDonald with his estate agent girlfriend. Ha! The secret
is out. Go for it Sally girl, rub Kevin's nose right in it! Natalie
comes across the snogging couple in the back lane but they don't
see her, and she's keeping quiet about it for now, no doubt waiting
for an opportune moment to break the news to Kevin. She also spies
Chris closing the curtains in Sally's bedroom.. now just what
is she going to do with a piece of gossip that good? Sally confides
in Rita that she's seeing Chris but doesn't see a future in the
relationship because of the age difference between them.
Judy and Gary have baby Katie christened and everyone goes
back to the Mallets for drinks and things on sticks. Just when
everyone is cooing over the baby, in walks Zoe with her evil devil
eyes. "I wunt me babeh". Gary very gently throws her
back on the street and Leanne tells her to come and stay with
them in the Battersby house. Judy tells Gary she wants to move
away, somewhere exotic like Canada or Australia. Gary comes up
with a better idea... Newcastle! Why aye man. Judy is so overcome
with emotion she starts crooning "When the boat comes in"
as a lullaby to Katie. In a touching scene, Rita gives Judy £50
for the baby, telling Judy to put it away for the future, and
if Katie ever asks where the money came from, she is to tell her
that it came from a kindly lady who couldn't have children of
her own.
Graffiti is sprayed on the kitchen window at Des' house and
then Des gets jumped on as he's making his way back home from
the christening. Sam's husband suddenly reappears and takes the
blame for the brick attacks on the house and car last week. "But
I luv ya Sam" he says, but she tells him she wants him to
go away. Looks like Sam is set for heartbreak when she tells Des
she loves him. Look what's happened to the other girls on the
Street when they've said the same thing dear.
The liquorice baron widow returns Jack's (alias Ken) shoe to
the Rovers, demanding fulfillment and her money's worth from the
escort agency. Just when she's trying to have her way with Jack
in the back room, in walks Vera demanding to know what's going
on. "This is Ken Barlow, and I'm after me money's worth"
the woman says. "No it's not! That's Jack Duckworth and he's
my husband!".
Anyway, all is settled and Vera finds out about
the escort agency, telling Alec "You mean you arrange dates?
You're nothing but a pimple!". She then calls Alec on his
mobile phone, trying hard to disguise her voice, to arrange a
date with a tall dark Italian type, but Alec twigs on that it's
Vera on the phone and promises her he's got just the perfect man
for her date - and we all know it'll be Jack. Hasn't this storyline
been done before? I sense a bit of deja vu here. I sense a bit
of deja vu here.
And that's about that for this week. Good to see Alf back in
the show finally, even if Audrey still gives him grief. Oh yes,
forgot to mention, she's working in Fiona's hair salon while Fiona
is away somewhere having her hair re-plaited.
Glenda :-)
