The Gazette's headline screams Killer Cabs and the paper starts a campaign to clamp down on cowboy cabbies after Ronnie's hit and run last week. Things aren't good in the Streetcabs office with Steve and Lloyd at loggerheads (where is that? I can never find it on the A-Z) and Eileen's bored enough through lack of work to make her own range of jewellry from paperclips and staples. Steve gets a letter from Weatherfield Council which revokes his license, and that's always painful.
Diggory's got problems with the dough. Not that dough, the money kind. His rent's going up and his stock's going stale so he tries to flog it off and gets sharp words from Blanche about selling bread products past their sell by date. She should have followed in the footsteps and wise words of Ena Sharples who asked "Are those cream cakes fresh?" before purchase. Was mine the only mind that scene sprung into when Blanche took her baps back to the baker? There's also problems with stale sausage rolls and hard barms and it looks like the end is nigh for poor Diggory. I'll miss him as much as a doughnut's hole.
Amber's alcopops find their way into young Sophie Webster's hands when she finds sister Rosie's stash at the back of the wardrobe. Sophie gets drunk and throws up in Sally's backyard and when she finds out where the alcohol has come from Sally's straight round to Dev with a few choice words. Dev tries to make amends with an apology in the shape of a cheap bunch of shop flowers, which oddly (and rather sadly) Sally gratefully accepts. Amber also apologises before Dev packs her away to her mum in Finland for the summer. He's upset that she sent him a Father's Day card pretending it was from the baby twins. Any fule no that babies can't write but Dev was hoping and wishing that the card signalled a return into Sunita's affections and he takes his anger out on Amber when it turns out not to be.
Leanne tries to get Danny and Jamie to make up for Father's Day but when Danny spies Leanne and Jamie having pizza together, in that place in the precinct with the red checky tableclothes, he puts two and two together and reckons they're having a bit of how's your father. Well they are, sort of, but Danny coming in all high-handed and argumentative rather spoils the chances of a reconciliation between father and son.
Another dad and lad having problems are Sean and Brian as Sean finds out that Brian's not his dad. Brian was away at sea when Sean was conceived so he knows he's not his own son. There's a joke in their about seamen, I'm sure, but the England game is on in two hours and I have to finish this update so I can't stop for jokes, not tonight.
David plays truant and hangs around the house plugged into his Playstation hoping no one will see him or that Gail will pop back from work for her lunch. David is great. He's turning into a thoroughly dislikable teen, which most of us did, if truth be told. I know I was a right horror and I've got the photos to prove it.
Jason tells Audrey who tells Keith who tells Craig that Charlie's been refused a mortgage on their house. Much celebrating and smiling for Keith and Craig until it turns out Charlie gets a mortgage in the end, just as you know he would. Tracy plans the soft furnishings and moving in with Charlie while poor Keith wonders what to do with his life. Craig doesn't want to leave Rosie and the two of them go out to dinner in the pizza place in the precinct, the one with the red.... well, you know what, for a meaningful discussion over a hot American.
And that's just about that for this week. Come on you Eng-er-land.
