Downstairs in the corner shop Dev can hear babies crying from the flat up above and wants to help out Sunita. Upstairs in the flat Sunita's suffering, she hasn't slept and won't let Dev anywhere near her. Steve reckons Dev should register the births and get his name on t'birth certificate. Sunita thinks much the same but by the time she's struggled to the town hall with babies, buggy and you know, all that baby stuff that only seems to come in suitcase-size bags, she's furious when she finds out that Dev's beaten her to it and registered her babies as his. Gradually she lets Dev help out with the babies and he's over the moon, sitting there on her sofa with a baby on each arm and snot and tears rolling down his face.
Tyrone's over the moon when a fish and chip van finds its way into the garage. The owners reckon it'll be too expensive to fix so tell Kev he can keep it and Tyrone offers to take it off his hands, fix it up himself and go into the chippy business to make his millions, and more importantly, impress Maria. Baker's daughter Molly sees the method behind Tyrone's madness but Maria's less convinced. She's already not best pleased with Tyrone when she finds out he's put her picture in the paper in this Surprise the Budgie competition he's entered her for.
Danny convinces Mike he's going to see the solicitor to get his will changed in Danny's favour. Just as they're about to set off, Danny finds Mike up on the Underworld roof, briefcase in hand, head in the clouds. When they finally get to the solicitor (and it's none other than Mr Lucas from Are You Being Served?) the will's changed and Danny has the good grace to feel a teensy bit guilty. That is, until he gets home to Leanne who has no such qualms and convinces him otherwise. Mike then goes off golfing in Spain and leaves the key to the flat with Danny, tells him to move in and make himself comfortable - and that's just what Leanne has every intention of doing.
Jamie goes on a date with Violet and takes her to the pizza place in the precinct, the one with the red checky tablecloths and cheap, strong red wine. My favourite kind of place. I haven't been to one in a good while. In fact a romantic night out would be lovely. Ahem. Anyway, as they walk in they spy the Platt's having dinner and Jason's there with Sarah. Jealous Jason has a word with Jamie in the gent's loo and tells him to keep away from Violet. Sarah overhears and ends up in tears. Jason tells Violet he thinks of her constantly and wants to be with her. Down on one knee on the cobbles in the ginnel, he asks her to marry him. "This is barmy!" she says "This is off its chunk! You're mad!" So that's a 'no' then? Rejected by Violet he decides to get back with Sarah and takes her cheap flowers and a wilting apology. But it's not long before he's screaming at her that she's a bunny boiler and walks out on her too with a wonderful parting shot: "Legs from heaven, personality from hell. It's no wonder our Todd turned to men after all the hassle he got from you."
Ed and Eileen continue apace with their relationship but Eileen fears that because of Ed's religion, things will go nowhere fast. As Ed fiddles with the bell-end at Emily's (there was no other way of phrasing this, I tried, believe me, but that's what he was doing) he offers to touch-up Eileen (I'm at it again!) 's paintwork and he's generally making himself useful and friendly (calm down dear, it's only an update). He confides to Emily about his past and tells her that he once slept on the streets and spent time in prison, conveniently leaving out the part where he murdered her husband.
Gail reckons that Phil and David might be starting to get along and become friends. Indeed, that's what it looks like until David slams the car boot down, hard, on Phil's hand. Oblivious to it all, Gail puts the kettle on and has another cup of tea as Phil's rushed to A&E where he Ohs&Rs.
Roy's upset when he gets his school alumni newsletter. But why for? He's alumnus of the month (I once had tablets for that) and there's an article on the cafe. The reason he's not happy is that the newsletter brings back painful school memories and the editor is a chap by the name of Clifford Ford, the one person at school who was even more geeky than Roy.
And that's just about that for this week.
