There's been shenanigans in Underworld this week with Karen lording it
over all and sundry in the pants department. First off, she wants
to sack Janice for throwing the pint at her last week but Joe says no. With
the girls against her, Karen soon finds out life's lonely at the top when
none of them offer to stay behind to do overtime on the underwear.
Karen's gutted until Joe helps stitch up gussets, leaving the girls to wonder
and ponder what's going on between supervisor and spiv. Steve gets
to hear about Karen staying late at the factory with sharp-suited Joe but
when he confronts his missus, she denies there's anything going on.
Mind you, when she's alone in the office with just Joe, there's more than
just running stitch going on in them undies, you can tell.
Across the road, another love triangle gathers pace and a curvy line (I
hate it when triangles do that, don't you?) when Peter gets back to Lucy.
Tracy goes for an interview at Lucy's florists and in one of those soap
coincidences that pass for real life, she gets the job and tells Peter she's
going to look after the florist when Lucy goes off on maternity leave.
"Ma-ma-maternity leave? Are you sure?" says Peter before he gets himself
round to see Lucy in the flat (she's in, of course, hovering by the door,
and refusing to let him in, which she does, of course, and she simpers.
Ugh). Anyway, he's all for dumping Shelley and playing happy families
but Lucy says it's not what she wants and sends him off packing back home
where he's slime bucket supreme to our sweet and lovely Shell.
Les has a hard time dealing with Janice's relationship with Mick the Plod
(who seems a decent bloke, for a copper). Over a romantic pizza in
the precinct, Mick asks Janice to move in wi'him. She's already
decided to start divorce proceedings with Les but when she tells Les to expect
something important in the post, meaning a solicitor's letter, he gets all
excited and the wrong end of the stick, by assuming the valentine's card
he's received is from Jan. It wasn't, it was a joke card from Eileen although
Les' guesses were priceless when he wonders who it was from: "Bandy Mandy
the contortionist? Suzi Quatro?". Anyway, Les is crushed and defeated
but Kirk manages to put a smile on his face and tells him the only way to
handle things is to be nice to Mick. That way, Kirk reckons, Janice
will see that Les isn't so bad.
At the Rovers Harry offers to clean up Ashley's house before he goes back
there for the first time but Ashley tells him they'll go in there together.
While Harry potters about casting his cleaning magic and putting the heating
on, Ashley turns pale and walks out, it's too soon and those blood stains
have done havoc with the shag pile. He visits Maxine's grave and tells her
about the paternity test he's had done - the results of which he'll know
next week (and most of us in the UK know already, if you want to know email
me and I'll tell you).
Ciaran got carried away by the coppers this week when the secret submarine
society special radar caught up with the errant subaqua tar. He puts
up a bit of a foight, turns and runs and troies to get away, so he does,
but the coppers bring him down, turn him in and bundle him into a taxi. That
wee girl of his from the shop is moighty upset, I can tell yer, but that
Shelley one, she's hardly surproised.
And over at the Platt's it's all going on. First off Richard gets
a dose of good news when he finds out the bail hostel isn't going to be built
next to the luxury flats that he's trying to flog. He's overwhelmed,
overjoyed and suggests to Gail that they buy a new house away from the Street.
And as all this is going on with Richard buzzing and humming and what not,
Ade rings Sarah from the young offender's institution. He wants to
speak to her about something, but whatever it is, Todd's not best pleased
about Sarah's choice of friend.
And that's just about that for this week.
