There's gratuitous shot's of delicious Dev's hairy chest bursting
forth from his loosely buttoned shirt this week after he goes
to complain to Jim about having a bonfire in the middle of the
road. Gary also complains - he's got kids next door and PC Emma
calls round to see what's going on. Jim apologises to everyone,
but he also says it's done him the power of good, so it has, exorcising
the ghost of Gwen.
Karen, a mate of Linda from Wheeler's, starts work at Underworld
to replace Gwen. Karen wants to know what's going on between Linda
and the boss and isn't surprised to hear that the rest of the
Sykes family don't know about the relationship - but that's just
how Linda wants to keep it. It's Linda's birthday this week and
Mike surprises her with a convertible sports car, lucky cow, while
Mark gives her a silver watch, feeling bad that he's unable to
compete with his dad's money. Linda's giving Mark the cold shoulder
after he gets heavy, telling her he loves her and what not (it's
always the what not's of life that are the most exciting, don't
you find?). Anyway, Craig turns up, he's a mate of Mark's and
tells Mark there's only way out of the situation; he has to leave
Linda, leave Weatherfield and leave the whole sorry mess behind
him.
Sam the builder is supposed to put a bet on in the bookies
for the lads on the building site, but instead he spends it on
a steak and pudding dinner in the cafe. Of course, the horse wins
(now there's a surprise) so he has to think of a way to repay
the £240 prize money. Geena remembers where she's seen Sam
before after recognising a tattoo on his arm - he's 'The Masked
Python', the stripper she's seen in clubs. Anyway, she offers
him a night working in the Rovers: "You need the cash, we
need the flesh" and manages to talk Natalie round to holding
a ladies night where Sam can strut his stuff. While Blanche thinks
the idea's disgusting (but I bet she'll turn up for a look), Betty
can't be bothered and says she'll turn up only if there' s nothing
good on the telly. "Anyway, he won't show me 'owt I haven't
seen before", she muses. The ladies in the Rovers wonder
who The Masked Python actually is and when Janice tells Blanche
she reckons it's Fred Elliot, Blanche walks out of the Rovers
muttering something to Fred about keeping his hands off her sausages.
Tyrone takes Maria out for the day in a car someone's brought
into the garage to get fixed. "We can take the dogs to Greenfield
Park and they can romp around," says Maria, "And so
can we". In the park, Tyrone comes clean about his family,
but Maria had already guessed he was lying. On the drive home,
Tyrone gets pulled by the police but is let off after Maria steps
in to explain who the owner of the car is.
Audrey offers to pay for a picture perfect Platt portrait and
you can see Martin and Gail cringe as the photographer urges them
to move closer when he tries to get Martin to put his arm around
his wife. Martin's had enough and when the photographer tells
him to give his wife a kiss, he storms out. Things are getting
worse in the Platt household, it's obviously not working out,
and Gail confides in Audrey what's going on. Audrey collars Martin
and gives him a piece of her mind, but that's nothing compared
to the grilling and guilt trip Sarah Lou gives him after Gail
tells her what Martin's been up to with Rebecca.
And that's just about that for this week.
