Poor Ashley, the police take him in for questioning after Don told the police that Ashley torched Baldwin's factory. Despite intervention from uncle Fred Elliot and Mike Baldwin, who pays for Ashley to have an appointment with his own solicitor, Ashley gets arrested and taken away to the cop shop. (It's a fit up, guv).

This week saw another regular leave the Street. Trisha Armstrong finally did the right thing for once in her life and went off with her 2 kids to live with Ray Thorpe. It isn't until after they've left that it hits Vera, who sheds a few tears in the back room of the Rovers, wondering if she'll ever see her grandson again.

The Sunliners Chief Executive calls into Alec's travel agency to meet Joyce, the cleaner (Alec still has Joyce on his wages books). Rita calls round to give Alec a piece of her mind and tell him what a scum bag he is for taking a dead person's wages, when the Chief Exec. walks in and mistakes Rita to be Joyce. Quite a comic moment! Rita persuades Alec to give Judy Mallett the overpaid wages for Joyce so that Judy can buy a memorial plaque for her mother. Alec gets called to the Sunliners headquarters in Southampton for lunch with the Director. He's expecting to be told how well his travel agency is doing, but is completely shocked when he's told he's been given the sack (or in nautical terms - sent to the breakers yard) and that Deirdre will take over his post in Sunliners.

Mike and Angie finally agree to do business together, after both of them try playing hard to get but it's obvious that Mike needs Angie just as much as she needs him. Jim and Bill offer to carry out the building alterations in the print shop. Meanwhile, Alma is still drooling over Florida villas, thinking she and Mike are going to spend their retirement in the sunshine. However, Angie tells Jim and Bill about her business partnership with Mike and they just happen to mention it to Audrey in the Rovers, who confronts Alma with it and of course she doesn't know what's going on - Mike hasn't told her.
Fiona's boyfriend Alan gets promoted to Detective Sergeant, the power goes straight to his head and he's drinking and driving all over the place. Sean and Samantha settle down in front of the telly for a quiet night in with a bottle of wine but when Sean tries it on, he won't take 'No!' for an answer and the evening ends with Samantha throwing him out. She won't give him a chance to apologise in the Rovers, and the scene ends quite nasty with Jim McDonald intervening and Sean threatening to punch Jim. Does Sam thank Jim for his assistance? No, she tells him never to interfere in her business again, but then runs out of the pub to apologise to him.

And for the big story of the week... Natalie and Kevin! Ooooh!! Natalie plays it cool this week, and Kevin keeps leaving messages on her answering machine, it's obvious the boy's smitten and Natalie has him where she wants him. On Bank Holiday Monday, Kevin goes out for a meal with Chris and Angie and they later go night-clubbing. Natalie finds out which night-club they're going to, and turns up, much to Kevin's delight. After Chris and Angie leave, Kevin and Natalie stay on for a few extra drinks and with her hand on his leg, Natalie suggests that Kevin goes back to her place, (watch out for the goofiest look you'll ever see on Kevin's face since he had his moustache shaved off). Meanwhile, Rita is baby-sitting at Kevin's house and isn't amused when Kevin returns at 3am instead of the 12 midnight he promised her.

This week's update ends with Kevin having been unfaithful to Sally, and he's left staring at their wedding photograph while little Sophie (or is it Rosie? who knows?) wanders downstairs and asks for a drink of water. Oh, Kevin, what have you gone and done now?
