Vera's over the moon when she gets a phone call to tell her Jack's won
them a dream house in one of his competitions. She witters on about
moving up and out of the slums until Jack's prize home arrives on the back
of the lorry; it's a green house, not a dream house. Mind you, Jack soon
sets plan to grow orgasmic vegetables in it and sell them from his allotment.
Emily's still worried that she'll lose her house after her dodgy dealings
with that Richard Hillman bloke so Norris obliges by telling her he'll get
a mortgage to buy the house and she can stay on as lodger. He tells
her there'll have to be some changes which include a book of rules and regulations
and redecorating involving a recurring fleur-de-lys motif but it all
comes to nowt after Gail tells Emily her investment is safe and Norris is
told he's too old to take out a mortgage.
Fred has a date with Petula Peach the abatoir heiress but isn't that keen
on her, I say he's not that impressed to find she's got a rather nasty habit
of repeating everything she says. I think she should have stuck
around a bit longer, she had that look of Stella Rigby about her and you
just knew that her car was a Rover. "I thought strees like this only
existed in Catherine Cookson's" she tells Fred when she collects him for
their date.
After Audrey told Gail last week that she'd bail her out by paying off
her debts, she finds out this week that her investments have plummeted (Coronation
Street episodes can go down as well as up). Unable to face turning
her family out of their home, Audrey takes out a loan to give Gail the money
and then worries incessantly about it.
Joe and Karen get cosy this week as he gives her a gold chain (Karen: "Is
it real?", Janice: "It makes you look like Jimmy Saville") and she takes
off her wedding ring in the Rovers in front of Steve. In the
factory, Karen wants to prove her worth and tries her best to understand
Underworld's expenses but Joe's not best pleased she's fishing in the finances.
Karen says she wants to understand computers and has signed up for a Wollie
(Weatherfield Online Learning Initiative) so she can be an online hooker.
"Hacker, Karen" Joe tells her "The word's hacker". Mind you, she was
probably right the first time and will soon be entering data in those financial
spread-yer-legs-sheets. Joe's increasingly concerned that Karen's questioning
invoices from one certain company and eventually has to come clean with her.
He's siphoning off money from Underworld to feather his own nest and wants
her to join him in his plan. Karen takes some persuading but after
he takes her to a show flat and lures her with a roof terrace and designer
kitchen, she tells him she's in on the scam.
Sarah wants to spend more time with Todd but Gail's concerned that she's
not spending enough time revising for her exams. Eileen's cool about
the fact that Sarah and Todd want to spend the night together there but
Gail makes a big fuss then dumps Bethany on the Grimshaws. Then Sarah tells
Gail she's going to move to Oxford with Todd and Gail creates another scene
when all she needs do is let it all pass, calm down and be forgotten.
Overhearing Todd, Jason and Sarah talking about Eileen's favouritism for
one of her sons, Eileen's shocked into taking the comments to heart.
After splashing out to buy Todd a computer last week this week she buys
Jason a car, and this from the woman who can't afford herself a decent perm.
Young Adam up in Scotland returned to the Street this week after being
kicked out of school for drinking. No one knew he was coming so no
one's prepared, especially Mike, and Adam goes to stay in the Rovers with
uncle Peter, where he's given a warm welcome and pie and chips from Bev.
And that's just about that for this week and for the next 3 weeks from
me. Many thanks to Richard and John for their upcoming updates.
