It all started with Karen, the tarty one from the factory on the
morning after the night before when she made a play for Steve.
Vik knows something went on, he's just not sure what. He questions
Steve about his night with Karen and questions Karen about her
night with Steve. Choosing to believe Karen, he tells his uncle
Dev about Steve making a play for his girl and Dev decides (quite
masterfully, I thought) to buy Steve out of Streetcars and out
of Vikram's life. But, as is her wont by now, top woman Eileen
comes to the rescue. She's in the taxi office when Karen and Steve
come in growling at each other. As Eileen leaves the office, she
makes sure the mic is switched on so Vik can hear their conversation
- and the truth. Vik's not best pleased with Karen: "Get
out, you slag", and he makes up with Steve who tells Dev
the business deal is off. Dev can't believe what he's hearing
and asks Steve to repeat what he's just said. "I'm sorry,
are you deaf?" Steve shouts at him. At which point, I so
wanted Dev's reply to be: "I'm not deaf, I'm Dev", but
it wasn't, alas.
So, yes, it's back to sex as Candice and the young Grimshaw
lad swap spit on the cobbles as Candice two-times him with Darren
Michaels. Sarah Lou's a little jealous of her friend having a
new bloke but she's too busy batting her eyelids at Sam to notice.
Audrey, however, notices a thing or two when she finds out from
Rita that Sam's been getting his pork-chop grilled at Gail's.
Martin's also a little jealous of a new man at Gail's table, even
if he is only there for sausage and chips.
There's a great scene this week with Rita in the Kabin, holding
court for all and sundry as the locals come to see her. Sally
strolls in for sage advice on Kevin; Mike wants her opinion on
a coupla 'family' matters, Maxine confides she needs help with
fertility and then Jack comes in to talk about horse's heads.
It's just like The Godfather.
Anyway, Mike and Ken continue fighting over Adam this week
and both have been to see their solicitor. Both solicitors tell
their clients what they want to hear, and then charge them for
it. When Ken's solicitor stresses the importance of a stable background
for Adam, Ken gets foot in mouth disease and asks Deirdre to marry
him. Where was the ring? Where were the roses? Where was the romance?
Where were the two weeks in Tenerife? It's no wonder that Deirdre
turns him down. Under different circumstances, she tells Ken,
her answer may well have been different (Three weeks in Tenerife
would have swung it, I bet, along with a proposal that didn't
go "The ball's in your court to make my case strong"),
but she's not marrying Ken for the sake of the courts, or Adam.
In fact, Deirdre shows her true colours this week when she takes
Mike's side over Ken's in the battle for the boy. Mike's determined
to have Adam live with him and Linda so he takes the lad on a
tour of the factory and the back room of the Rovers. As confused,
hurt Adam cries for both men to stop fighting over him, their
solicitors fight it out with an Interim Residency Hearing arranged
for next week.
So anyway, where were we? Oh yes, sex. A naked Ashley stands
in his back garden airing his meat and two veg when a very shocked
Charlie next door asks him what he's up to. It's Maxine's idea
to cool down his tackle, advising him to stand at the back door
and "waggle them about a bit". Honestly. I didn't even
make that up. The Peacock's have Charlie and the Doc and Emma
and Curly round for dinner later and the topic crops up, to much
hilarity, but a sober Maxine doesn't see the funny side.
Elsewhere on the Street, Linda gave her brother a packing job
in the factory this week, much to Mike's displeasure.
And that is just about that for this week.
