Les has a smile on his face when Cilla returned this week. "Step inside
love, and stay" he should have said but didn't. She's being cagey about where
she's been, Fiz reckons she's got another fella but Les won't hear of it.
Fiz winds Cilla up when she tells her about Les helping Janice wi'shopping
and such like since she was in the fire at Baldwin's and broke her ankle.
Cilla's straight round to see Janice and broken ankle or not, there's a fight
between the two of them - over Les. Wake up ladies and smell the Old
Spice aftershave.
There's much turmoil in the Rovers when Shelley and Fred fall out.
He's not happy with her management style - shoddy book-keeping and illegal
(but always fun) lock-ins after hours. And she's not happy with the
way he's treating her so she storms out, he sacks her, she says she was leaving
anyway and Bev is appointed in her place. There's much frostiness in
the back room that not even Betty's hot pot can thaw. Charlie - and is it
just me or has he become really irritating? - smarms his way into a date with
Shelley and when she moans about her mother, he tells her the truth about
Bev's fling with Ciaran. Shelley doesn't know whether she's coming or
going, annoyed or upset and makes snide comments at her mother and Ciaran
while refusing to do any work. And Betty's not best pleased either,
all this malarkey means she has to work nights with her bunions playing up.
Todd gets entangled in a love triangle when he goes for a drink after work
with Karl. Karl's boyfriend spies them together and gets all angsty
about it but Karl cools him off and he and Todd enjoy their pint. Back
at the flat, Sarah's upset at being left on her tod while her Todd's out enjoying
himself with someone else. Next time Todd sees Karl he's got a black
eye (Karl not Todd), he's been thumped by his boyfriend and is now out on
the street with nowhere to live. Sarah offers him their sofa and Karl
offers himself up on a plate to Todd. Is it a dish Todd can resist
or one he wants to make a meal of?
From triangles to squares as Fred gets called to a special meeting of the
Square Dealers, a Rectagonal, if you will. He's been trying to spend
some time with Penny King who has yet to give him a reply to his proposal
so when the rectagonal arises, he has to call off their date again.
However, he forgets to tell Ashley not to bother to pick him up from Penny's
as originally planned. When Ashley arrives late at night at Penny's house,
he spies Penny in her dressing gown snogging Mike Baldwin by the privets.
He tells Claire and together they wonder what this could mean. The clues
are all there and they work it out after three episodes when Ashley has a
brief chat with Mike about the ravishing Mrs King. Mike tells him nothing
- and in doing so reveals everything. Against Ashley's wishes, Claire
tells Fred what's going on and Fred has a word and a brandy with Michael
in the Rovers. Mike lies through his teeth and so does Penny when Fred confronts
her later over dinner. And still she hasn't given him a yay or a nay,
just spun him a yarn of lies. Ashley's not happy that Claire has defied
his wishes not to tell Fred and the two of them have a falling out.
In the corner shop Maya decides she needs to be at the cutting edge of Dev's
empire so sits behind the till with Sunita. She reckons it's fun at
first and the two of them crack open champagne from the top shelf but when
reality hits her, she moans about the customers, the work, the drudgery, the
oh, everything.
At the Platts, David begs Nick to come home and make up with Gail.
After much persuasion, Nick tumbles home for a quick visit and a hug from
his mum.
And that's just about that for this week.
