So anyway, it's been a tough old week for Rita. First she sheds
a few tears when Alec packs his bags and leaves the Street to
head for the bright lights of Brighton with Vicky. It's true,
Alec's gone. And if Rita hadn't heard Alec shuffling about behind
his erection in the flat, she'd never have known he was leaving
at all. She goes to the Rovers to say goodbye to him and they
have a few words. He can't forgive her for telling the Duckies
what he was up to and she can't forgive him for what it was he
were up to in the first place. Then she sheds a few more tears
when another love of her life slips off this mortal coil - Alf
dies in his sleep in an armchair on New Years Eve. There he is,
one minute dancing with Audrey at Nick's 18th birthday party,
the next minute he's gone for a sit down and then he's gone. It
was sad, I have to admit. I mean, Alf, gone. The end of a Coronation
Street era. Les Battersby tells Leanne she could be in for a few
bob or two now that Nick's grandad has died, but sadly, Martin
finds out that Alf's term assurance expired the day before he
did, and Audrey has yet to be told there's no insurance money
for her, nothing.
More trouble when Greg overhears Janice in the Rovers talking
to someone about the connecting door between Alec and Rita's flat.
Off he goes and breaks into Alec's flat, brings down the erection
to get into Rita's flat where Sally is sitting watching TV. He
throws her around a bit before she runs out into the street and
Nick Tilsley comes to help her. Anyway, Rita makes Sally report
the assault to the police, which she does, but not before Greg
does a runner from the Street after helping himself to the money
kept in that tin in the Battersby household. Les won't hear a
bad word against Greg and is furious with Sally for spreading
lies about her son. He's even more incensed with Nick when Nick
talks to the police too.
In the Rovers, Natalie tells Jack and Vera they're free to
go to Blackpool to visit their grandson, but, when they return,
she wants them out of the living quarters of the Rovers as she's
moving in. She's selling Des' house to finance the Rovers so the
Duckies have to find somewhere new to live. Jack finds the bin-bags
full of clothes in the backyard of the Rovers and is disgusted
to find cobwebs all over his underpants. "That were there
before!" cries Vera.
Gary and Judy bring the twins home and decide to call them
William and Rebecca but it's only a matter of time before Jack
and Vera abbreviate the names to Billy and Becky and Judy is not
best pleased.
Sally asks Kevin to see the girls more often but after the
attack from Greg, Kevin is reluctant to let Sally take the girls
for even one night. Sally goes to see a solicitor who tells her
if she wants to fight for custody then she has to have a place
of her own to live in. Kevin gets the glad-eye in the Rovers from
one of the factory girls and they have a bit of a snog as the
clock strikes midnight on New Years Eve. Next time they see each
other in the Rovers, it's all fluttering eyelashes and coy little
smiles which is a shame as it really doesn't suit Kevin at all.
Fred hands Ashley a striped butcher's hat and tells him he
is now the new manager of the Freshco butcher counter which Fred
has taken over. Ashley is a bit reluctant as he likes running
the corner shop but Fred persuades him and tells him to get on
wi'it like.
Roy has big plans for his new cafe on Coronation Street but
Hayley tries to keep his feet on the ground. Having Steve McDonald
contractor / builder type person is a bad sign, anyone can see
that, and you'd have thought Roy would have more sense than to
use him, but he is.
