An unlikely alliance is starting to form in the shape of Samantha
and Jim McDonald. After Jim intervened in last week's argument
between Samantha and Sean, Samantha invites Jim to her house for
dinner to say thank you and to apologise for shouting at him.
It's all nudge-nudge wink-wink when Bill gets to hear about Samantha
cooking dinner but Samantha won't take any nonsense and sends
Jim back to the Rovers once dinner is over. Then, they both go
bowling together and seem to get on well together. Who knows what
could happen next?
Ashley gets released from prison after spending 2 nights in
a prison cell. Proof that Ashley was in a night-club at the time
of the fire is found when the surveillance video of the night-club
is found at the police station and he's let off with all charges.
He wants answers from Don though and visits him in prison, only
to have Don ramble on about Ivy, he wonders when Ivy will visit
him.. oh dear... The bloke is seriously off his trolley, and gets
moved to a mental health hospital, which means he can't be charged
with arson and attempted murder, much to Mike Baldwin's disgust.
Gail asks Alma if she wants to work part time in the cafe,
and Alma jumps at the chance to spend less time twiddling her
thumbs in front of daytime TV. Unfortunately, Roy isn't best pleased
that Alma could be working in the cafe again, he feels his position
as head chef and bottle washer under threat and tells Gail that
he doesn't want to work with Alma. Gail and Roy fall out for a
while but soon end up speaking again and Gail gives Alma the bad
news. Not one for giving up, Alma goes for an interview in a dress
shop but doesn't get the job, then she's wandering around Firman's
Freezers and notices that they need staff so she asks Curly about
the vacancies and before you can say 'It's not what you know,
it's who you know' she gets a new job as a checkout operator.
Mike is horrified when he finds out, especially as he's just booked
a 2 week holiday in Cyprus for the two of them and now finds out
that Alma can't go.
Deirdre is willing to take over as the new manager of Sunliners
but Alec is up to his old tricks again. He's managed to fiddle
a 10 day holiday in Las Vegas for himself out of Sunliners promotions,
Deirdre tells him to get rid of the holiday before she takes over
in charge. Alec has a plan, he tells Jack they should raffle the
holiday in the Rovers, and that he will ensure Jack and Vera are
the winners of the holiday. All the regulars are buying raffle
tickets and Jack gets a bit worried about the dodgy deal when
Alan McKenna buys a couple of tickets and asks questions about
the deal. Profits of the raffle are going to Weatherfield Hospital,
when Alec's taken his cut, of course. I can't help thinking that
something is going to go terribly wrong.
Natalie and Kevin are wondering what to do with themselves
after last week's encounter. Natalie is all for having another
full overhaul and service from our favourite mechanic, but Kev
is feeling guilty and visits Sally in Scarborough. Mind you, this
still doesn't stop him and Natalie from having a long snog on
the sofa, and with little Sophie upstairs too.
Maureen (remember her? she hasn't been around for ages, neither
has Curly who makes a reappearance this week) is feeling a bit
depressed about her love life with Bill, the spark's gone and
she wants to brighten things up. Bill's idea of a night out is
playing dominoes in the Rovers with Percy Sugden and Maude so
Maureen drags him out to a 60's night at Cherelle's night-club.
And finally, what's happening to our own Street Spice Girls
Maxine and Fiona this week? Fiona has a moan to Alan that she
never sees enough of him, and he offers to move in to the flat
above the hair salon with her. Maxine is head over heels in love
with Ashley, the fact he's spent a couple of nights in prison
seems to have added more mystique to the butcher's nephew and
they stay overnight at Don's house, as Ashley still has the house
keys. And that's it for this week.
