Right, then. Gail finally signs the £2,000 cheque to
give to Leanne in exchange for Leanne signing the divorce papers.
However, when Leanne goes to the cashpoint machine, there's no
money in her account.. hardly surprising when Martin has withdrawn
everything to stop Leanne having any of the Platt money. In true
weekly update fashion, Leanne storms (she really does!) into the
cafe and confronts Gail about the money but Gail doesn't yet know
Martin has taken all the money out. Naturally, things are not
rosy over at the Platt household and tensions mount around the
kitchen table with Martin telling Gail she knows nowt about the
true meaning of marriage. Meanwhile, Vikram (who realises he could
lose his meal ticket if Leanne doesn't get her money) advises
Leanne to threaten Gail with calling the police to tell them she
was forced into signing the divorce papers against her will, in
the first place. Gail isn't keen to get the police involved, realising
what she did was wrong, and Martin tells Leanne she'll get her
money. This time, Leanne asks for cash. Wise move.
Bland Danny asks out Sharon (she is FAR too good for him!)
but Rita advises caution where Sally is concerned. Sally tells
Sharon she and Danny are just friends and she doesn't mind her
friend going out with the bloke she turned down, but really, she's
seething inside, specially when she sees them both snogging in
the Street. Serves you right dear, you had your chance.
Kevin manages to upset Alison this week when he buys new trainers
for the girls, and there's poor Alison trying to manage on two
and sixpence for the housekeeping too. To make amends, he invites
her out for a posh meal and when Janice tells Alison she's just
seen Kevin coming out of a jewellry shop, Alison starts putting
two and two together. Posh meal, jewellry, it can only mean one
thing. Yes, Kevin has bought his daughter a new necklace and the
look of disappointment on Alison's face when he hands her the
box at the end of their posh night out, was priceless. Let's just
hope Kevin doesn't upset the Sunderland fans so much this coming
Saturday when he plays at the Stadium of Light with other Corrie
men Ashley and Martin in the celebrity game. Yes, I'll be there.
I've had my ticket for ages. Give 'us a wave, Kev, I'm in the
East Stand!
Vera's worried sick over Jack's heart by-pass operation. However,
there's no date been given by the hospital but when Vera broaches
the subject of Jack having his operation done privately at a cost
of £12,000, he puts his foot down and says he's not going
to pay for something he should be having done free. Vera pays
Ken a visit in his role as Jack's godfather, and there's a great
scene when Ken asks Jack how much he loves Vera and asks him to
imagine what he would do in her position, if it was Vera who needed
the op.
Factory girl Linda does Mike's ironing and gets a pat on the
head from him by means of a new frock and a necklace. Ravi defends
Alma in the Rovers when Mike has a go at her: "You spend
more time in here than the bar mats, and are probably just as
soaked". Ooh. Nita tells Ravi it might be a good idea to
back off from Alma as Mike will use him in his divorce case. "But
my dear Nita, I find Mrs Baldwin utterly charming" (or words
to that effect). Nita tells her dad that Mike has a younger girlfriend
- news which Ravi passes on, reluctantly, to Alma. Alma is confused,
until Hayley tells her friend the truth - Mike is seeing someone
from the factory. Alma assumes it's Deirdre and is aghast when
Hayley tells her it's Linda hard faced bitch from hell Sykes.
Just a little point: Ravi's corner shop is still selling cans
of Vaux Lambtons. I had to put that in as my brother rang to tell
me that. The cans won't be replaced once they've been sold, seeing
as the Vaux brewery, and the very heart of Sunderland, has been
closed down. As a Sunderland lass, born and bred, the smell of
hops from the brewery was part of my childhood.... hmm... that
could explain a lot... barman! another pint, over here, now!
Steve tells Jim he's paid off his VAT bill and Jim's quite
chuffed that his son seems to be back on the straight and narrow,
not realising that Steve plans to continue smuggling cheap baccy
in from abroad with his prison buddy, Lee.
Maxine is getting stressed and making all sorts of plans and
demands for her wedding. Should she have a dress that is understated
sophistication or something more to suit her personality: pink
and fluffy? Hayley offers to make her wedding dress for her, but
Maxine talks her way out of it and asks Hayley to make the bridesmaid's
dresses instead. There's a great line in the Kabin when Sharon
and Rita talk to Maxine about wedding dress memories. "Rita's
got a whole rack!" says Sharon. Ashley decides he wants his
real mum at the wedding and wants to set about trying to find
her. Maxine isn't so sure it's a good idea.
Glenda :-)
