Just a quick reminder then of where we left off last week with
Martin in tears in front of Gail, wailing about his affair with
Rebecca: "This wasn't some cheap little affair" (oh
yes, it was), "I didn't go looking for it to happen"
(oh yes, you did) and so on. "Don't do this to me, Martin"
whimpers Gail (bit too late for that now pet). (Have I ever used
so many brackets in an update paragraph before?) Anyway, if you're
expecting, as I was, Gail to pummel Martin's chest with her fists,
scream at her cheating husband and throw things, just a cushion
would have done, she didn't. She didn't do anything but accept
his actions and told him she wants to carry on as if nothing has
happened. While it's true that he didn't leave Gail for Rebecca,
she assumes this means Martin still loves her and is prepared
to give him time to sort himself out and see the error of his
ways and all that stuff. "Rebecca's gone," she says,
"and I'm still here. The choice is yours Would you like some
cheese and toast while you're here?". (Honestly, that's what
she said. Cries of 'choke him, choke him' were heard all around
the nation, well, in my living room anyway). Things are tense
in the Platt household, so say the least, and no one is happy
except for Sarah Lou who has decided to call the baby Bethany
Britney Asparagus Spears Platt and when she toyed with the idea
of calling her Rebecca, Martin dropped the plate he was drying
onto the kitchen floor.
Kevin's still in despair and in his confused state he makes
a clumsy pass at Sally. She knows what pain he's going through
so doesn't make anything of it, but continues to support him as
best she can, much to Danny's annoyance. On the Father's Day episode
in the UK, Rosie and Sophie present Kevin with a t-shirt with
a picture of them both and Kevin on it. When Kevin tells Sally
he's off to Germany to stay with his dad for a bit, Danny breathes
a huge sigh of relief.
Poor Jim, he's really been taken in by that Gwen one. He's
dead happy, so he is, about their upcoming nuptials and even buys
an engagement ring. Janice guesses what's really going on with
Gwen being so deep in debt and knows she's using Jim as a way
out of it. Anyway, Gwen's had enough, she withdraws thirty five
grand out of their joint bank account, stuffs it into her handbag
and buys a one way ticket to Euston. While she's waiting for her
train, she goes shopping with all that money in her bag, which
gets stolen while she's faffing about the designer labels. Anyway,
the stupid tart returns to Underworld, spinning a story that she's
been mugged and had all of Jim's money stolen from her. Meanwhile,
as she's pouring out this tale of woe to the girls at the factory,
a policeman is talking to Jim telling him that his girlfriend's
handbag has been found with the money in it. When Gwen returns
to the house, Jim almost strangles her, and who could blame him,
but instead he throws her out of the house, right into the gutter.
The debt collector calls on Jim later telling him he's responsible
for Gwen's outstanding debts and she'll call back at 6pm to pick
up any belongings of Gwen's. Jim says he'll be ready for her -
and he is. He's piled up all of the furniture Gwen had bought
and sets fire to it, right in front of the debt collector and
various nosey parkers who had left their drinks in the Rovers
to come outside and watch the show.
Pat's nephew, Sam, starts work on the building site for the
new health centre on the Street. He's a bit thick is Sam, and
I was told in advance to expect him to be a bit sexy but I have
to report he's something of a disappointment and definitely not
my cup of tea. However, I'm sure more will be revealed (geddit?)
next week.
Steve McDonald gets a court order to appear and give evidence
at Jez's trial. If he goes, Jez will exact revenge, but he can't
not go, can he? Natalie tells him he has to go, he has to give
evidence and Jez has to be convicted of the murder of her son.
That's alright for Natalie say, it's not her chestnuts in the
fire.
Maria and Tyrone get cosy on the sofa in the front room of
the B&B, much to the annoyance of Norris, who walks out after
Monica gives him a kiss; she's after his sausage. Anyway, Maria
wants to know more about Tyrone's family, but he really doesn't
want to have to admit the truth so lies that his folks are dead
rich and live abroad. Vera is a little surprised, to say the least,
when Maria tells Vera what Tyrone has told her. And that's just
about that for this week.
Glenda ;-)
