Leanne and Nick fly off on their three week holiday to Canada.
Leanne tells Nick she's the first Battersby ever to get past Torremelinos.
(That's nowt. I was the first Young to get past South Shields!).
With Leanne away, Rita needs help in the Kabin and asks Sharon
to help out, which she's happy to do.
Over at the Rovers, all is not rosy. Natalie wants to rent
out her house rather than sell it, and Jack suggests that he and
Vera move in there, which Natalie thinks is quite a good idea
until Vera sticks her oar in, the two of them argue and Natalie
changes her mind. When Natalie has a go at Vera, Jack defends
her, telling Natalie "When she's not breathing fire, underneath
it all, she's just a frightened old woman." Aw. Anyway, relationships
are strained at the Rovers between the Duckies and Natalie although
Jack is still employed there as cellarman. Jack and Vee end up
moving out and into a bed and breakfast. And who should be the
landlady at the b&b? None other than Eunice Gee - remember
her! So, Jack and Vera move in there with Eunice giving Jack the
glad-eye and he's happy to put a shelf up for her when she makes
him kippers for breakfast and as you can imagine, Vera isn't best
pleased with the attention this woman is giving Jack. Anyway,
Eunice mentions that she's thinking of selling up and moving on
and before you can say "that's either a good storyline or
an exit for the Duckies" (Jack and Vera are rumoured to be
leaving the street soon), Jack and Vera are thinking about buying
the place with the £30,000 that's sitting in their bank
account.
Natalie gets offered a load of beer that's going to be past
its best soon, so she takes it and sells the cheap beer in the
Rovers to receptive punters, especially Les Battersby and Jacqui
Dobbs - who seems to have taken a shine to Les again now he's
in funds for beer. When Janice finds Les in the Rovers with Jacqui,
drunk on cheap booze, she drags him off home.
Down in that hotbed of intrigue and malarkey known as the corner
shop Ashley takes Nita to the wholesalers where, strangely, everyone
seems to know her already. He's even more puzzled when he sees
Nita getting into a car with an older Asian man after she leaves
work, and assumes it's her boyfriend (it's not, it's her dad,
ready and waiting to buy the shop from Fred Eliott just as soon
as it's up for sale.) Also in the corner shop, Maude becomes Claire
Rayner, agony aunt, for the afternoon when the lovely Spider confides
that he's had enough of Lorraine (tart!) and wants to end the
relationship with her (I always knew it wouldn't last!). Then
Lorraine comes into the shop and tells Maude she's invited Spider
for dinner and she's going to ask him to move into Natalie's house
with her. Well, she does ask him and quite rightly, because he's
saving himself for me, he turns her down and tells her he's had
enough of her. Ha bloody ha.
Sally picks the girls up and takes them for tea at Rita's.
Kevin has already told Sally he wants to take the girls away on
holiday for a weekend but Sally doesn't yet know he's also taking
his new girlfriend, so when one of the girls tells Sally that
Alison is coming along too, at first she thinks Alison is one
of the girl's friends from school. "Oh no" they chime
"Alison's daddy's girlfriend." Before they go off on
holiday, Sally has a word with Alison in the cafe and tells her
to look after the girls while they're away and after they go,
Sally is upset but more determined to get herself a house so she
can apply for custody of her two daughters. Well, Sally is looking
for a house, Natalie has one to rent - so it only makes sense
that Sally moves in there, doesn't it? Kevin doesn't seem to think
so and the fur flies when he finds out Sally will be living across
the road from him, convinced that Sally is living there to spite
him and keep her eye on him and Alison. She stands up to Kevin
and tells him the only important thing in her life is having custody
of the girls, whoever he's with, and she's going to fight him
for the kids.
Will they? Won't they? Ken and Deirdre back together? Is it
possible these two lonely, pathetic, bored souls could find their
lives spiced up once more with each other? Blanche seems to think
so. Over a drink in the Rovers, she tells Deirdre, in complete
confidence, that Ken has told her that he still pines for Deirdre,
that he wants a reconciliation, that he still loves her. Deirdre
is a bit confused, but you can see the idea doesn't sit too badly
with her. Next, Blanche has a quiet word with Ken, and tells him,
in complete confidence that Deirdre has told her that she pines
for him, that she wants a reconciliation, that she still loves
him. Ken is also a bit confused but you can see the idea doesn't
sit too badly with him, either. Blanche advises Ken to 'woo' Deirdre.
And that's a word you don't hear every day.
That's all for this week!
Glenda ;-)
