Just what are they doing to Spider? He was kind, he was gentle
and he loved his Auntie Em. Now, he's growling at Curly and causing
obstructions in the High Street. Spider presents Curly with his
speech for the W.A.R.T.S. conference, chuckling to himself because
he knows the reaction his speech will get. Sure enough, Curly
reads out the damning speech, and gets a startled reaction from
Fred Elliot and Eric Firman. The speech labels shop keepers as
"guilty of killing the earth" and it's full of eco-warrier
type stuff. Curly, realising too late what the speech was all
about, then turns the whole thing round and announces to the conference
that the speech was propaganda to which shop keepers want no part
of. Eric and Fred are best pleased with their lad. Still intent
on making as much bother as he can, Spider mounts a campaign to
save the Norweigan prawn, it all gets very silly, and ends up
with whale music being played in Firmans while Spider, Emily and
Toyah strut around with placards. (I won't even mention the Prawn
Liberation Organisation).
Fiona and her mother argue about Steve McDonald. Fiona wants
to stay friends with Steve but her mother thinks she knows best
and can't understand why Fiona wants him in her life. Steve makes
it obvious to Fi that he wants to be more than friends with her,
but she's holding back. When Fi wants a babysitter, Steve volunteers
for the job and brings his girlfriend Rachel (the estate agent,
remember?) round to Fi's flat for the evening. Fi isn't best pleased
to see Rachel there. Could there still be an old flame burning
deep within her after all? Fiona's mother goes to see Alan McKenna
but he wants nothing to do with either Fiona or the baby and hopes
he'll never see either of them again. Although Fiona probably
guessed this anyway, to hear it put so bluntly by her mother,
stung a little.
Oh Hayley! Oh Roy! Oh dearie me. Yes, she's told him. They're
both getting cosy in the cafe after Roy cooks them a meal. Roy
asks Hayley if she'd like to take coffee in his flat but Hayley
tells Roy there's something he should know about her. She explains
that she isn't a female by birth, but by choice. Poor Roy, it
hits him hard. He tells Hayley he understands things like stamps,
air-craft and trains. He likes to put things in columns (me too),
but this he just doesn't know how to deal with. He asks her to
leave, and she does. Hayley tries to talk to Roy in the Rovers
later, but he's still feeling too confused and leaves her sitting
there as he walks out saying "leave me alone!". Without
knowing what's gone on between Roy and Hayley, Gail tries to comfort
Roy, but he tells her not to be so patronising.
With Des away in Bangor, Chris calls to the house to collect
some things he left there when he moved out. Sam is at the house
and ends up giving him more than the few things he called round
to collect. She tells Chris she loves Des but she wishes their
relationship wasn't so suffocating. Later, Sam is throwing herself
all over Chris when he pops into the Rovers and they're in the
middle of making plans for Chris to er.. pop round again, when
Des walks in! Anyway, Des is off again, this time to Newcastle
and Sam is more than a little jealous and petulant when Chris
ignores her in the Rovers and then doesn't let her into his flat
when she calls round to see him.
Deirdre is back in town. She rings Mike to ask if she can stay
with him and Alma for a couple of weeks until the trial. Mike
tells Ken in the Rovers that Deirdre is staying with them and
they have a bit of a spat at the bar. Alma isn't best pleased
that Deirdre is staying there with them, and is bemused to find
Deirdre in her kitchen when she comes back from work. Not only
is Deirdre asserting herself all over Alma's territory, she's
only gone and cooked Mike's favourite - steak and kidney pie.
Now, there's a thing.
See you next week
Glenda :-)
