Anita's still coming on strong to Ken and he's not altogether
too happy with things. Neither is Deirdre (but she's going through
the change so isn't much happy with anything these days). Anita's
a woman possesed, on a mission to nab her man and Ken's nutter
alarm has obviously lost its batteries. Just because she doesn't
smell of moth balls, sing to herself and sit next to him on the
bus it doesn't mean she's not raving bonkers. Run, Ken, run. Finally
it's too much for Ken when Anita starts rubbing herself against
his leg, much like a randy Yorkshire Terrier my grandma once had.
Ken tells her to back off, he'll help her with writing her autobiography
"My life as a strumpet" but no more. She's aghast! Her?
Coming on to him? How could he possibly think that? Of her? There's
a big scene and she asserts herself in Ken's living room, making
Ken feel as if he's done something wrong and has unsettled her,
instead of it being t'other way round. Deirdre realises she needs
to do something to bring back the excitement to her relationship
with Ken but when she suggests a night out at the pictures with
dinner, he tells her he's too busy surfing the web. Uh-oh.
As Dev and Geena set off for their wedding in Tobago, Sunita
throws a hen and stag night in the Rovers before the two most
beautiful (and annoying) people on the street set off for the
airport in a taxi. At the airport Geena's mum Gill turns up, plays
Geena like a fiddle and plucks her heartstrings to make her realise
that what she really wants is a big frilly white wedding back
home in Weatherfield, wearing a dress that looks good from the
back. Geena tells Dev she can't go abroad and he sulks for a while
before telling all in the Rovers that what Geena wants, Geena
gets and if it's a white frilly frock with her friends and family
around her, then that's what it's going to be. Gill's not best
pleased and warns Dev that she's intent on splitting him and Geena
up soon, and when she starts chatting, in confidence, to Karen
in the Rovers, you know Mrs Geena is intent on causing big trouble.
Janice copes with the aftermath of Dennis' funeral and packs
his clothes away in bin bags. She gets an unlikely visitor at
the flat in the shape of Mike Baldwin who consoles her on her
loss and tells her to take as much time off work as she needs.
She reckons she'll visit her sister. Bring her on! Janice's sister?
Got to be worth bringing into the show, eh? God, what a miserable
pair they'd make.
Over at the Rovers Fred arranges for his signwriter pal, Melvyn
Lush, to paint Eve's name over the door. Trouble is, Melvyn doesn't
know the name of Fred's wife and when he turns up at the pub and
spies Betty in charge, he assumes Betty's the landlady. Needless
to say, Eve's furious, Fred's done for and Betty stifles a giggle
when they spy her name above the door, not Eve's. Fred goes further
to upset Eve this week, I say he doesn't make her happy when he
gives out free pies in the Rovers. With free pies on the go, sales
of hot pot go down and people stop drinking. It's time for Eve
to lay down the lay, and she gives Fred a right roasting in the
back room of the pub (which is looking rather stately now the
Elliot's have moved in). A truly wonderful scene.
Audrey's concerned that her financial portfolio is down by
£6,000. She mentions it to Rita, overheard by Norris who
tells her it's all Richard's doing, he's a bad 'un. Audrey's not
convinced but Norris won't be swayed and starts putting doubts
into Audrey's mind. Gail and Richard return from their holiday
to Canada with presents for the kids and photos of snow. As soon
as they hit the street, there's a knock at Gail's door and it's
that bloke again, the one pestering Richard about his mother's
house that he felt should have been his. Richard gets, well not
exactly nasty, but certainly not pleasant, and tells the bloke
if he takes it further he'll sue him, and he'll win. And he probably
would, as I've said before there probably isn't anything illegal
in what Richard does, it just doesn't seem right, somehow.
Elsewhere on the Street this week:
Terry turned up at the Duckies, a free man at last, all charges
have been dropped against him. And so he's free to go and I hope
he does. Soon. And Sam moved in with Vik and managed to walk in
on Bobbi, taking a shower. Why is it never the women who get an
eye-ful?
And that's just about that for this week. Right, I've got to
go and pack up the kitchen. John Dean will be here next week and
I'll see you in a fortnight (that's two weeks in old money).
