With her trusty Archie by her side, Audrey tells her tale to the police
and PC Bloke believes her. Richard's called in for questioning but
easily punches holes in Audrey's story when he reveals that Audrey has
an appointment with the specialist at the hospital to test for senile
dementia. So it's back to square one with everyone but Archie thinking
that Audrey's gone doodle-alley. (Note to self: must go there sometime,
sounds v. interesting and I hear the weather's good). Knowing her
family isn't safe under the same roof as Richard, Audrey tries to kidnap
the kids which deteriorates her relationship with Gail still further.
But then Archie has a plan and advises Audrey to see his solicitor to
change her will, which she does. She tells Gail and Dicky there's no
point in bumping her off now as they're not gettenh ay penneh. It's
too much for Gail to take, she thinks her mother's gone bonkers and
tells her never to darken her doorstep again. Archie thinks Audrey
needs a break for a few days and offers to whisk her off to his sister
Stella Shuttleworth who runs a guest house in the Lakes. Even Martin
thinks this is a good idea for he too, sadly, thinks Audrey is off the
rails although he's promised her he'll keep an eye on Dicky in her
absence.
Maxine's curious about her new neighbours, the Nelson's, but aren't we
all? Tommy gets a job at Kev's garage after he proves he's a dab hand
with a spanner. Now, my brother manages a garage and I was chatting to
him the other week to see how realistic the Street garage was. These
are his words, not mine: "The spanners are too big and they don't drink
enough tea". So there you have it. So just what is the Nelson's big
secret, I wonder. Are they on the Witness Protection Programme or just
ashamed that casting have got the mother and daughter in completely the
wrong roles? I don't know, but they seem perfectly normal to me; I'd
hide behind the sofa too if Maxine and her mother came knocking at my
door.
Alex the painter starts work at the Websters. Sally palpitates over
paint charts, while Alex wallpapers over the cracks in her relationship
with Kevin. Kev tries on his old wedding suit complete with drawn-on
tash. "Why did I ever get rid of it?" he wonders. "Because Steph
Barnes shaved it off" we shouted at the telly.
Mind you, as if Sally hasn't got enough on her mind, she's now figured
out that Peter's having an affair. After listening in on one hushed
phone call too many at work, Sally tells Kev what Peter's up to and he
tells her to mind her own business. Spending the afternoon with Lucy
in a casino seems a good idea to Peter until Vik comes in and discovers
Peter's secret. He now intends to blackmail Peter and get out of paying
his £1,000 debt. (Has this Lucy got no life of her own? Why is she
always in, waiting, ready, doing nothing? Why does she never slob
around her flat in Garfield slippers with curlers in her hair and
chocolate bon-bons in her ears? I do it all the time and it comes highly
recommended).
More marital discord for the Watts on Emma's day off. There she is one
minute strolling along with Curly and baby and the next she's having a
drink in the Rovers with one of the lads from work who's moaning on
about how his partner doesn't understand him and how he's only going to
date policewomen from now on. There may be trouble ahead. But while
there's Curly and baby and house, Emma should face the music and dance.
Finally, it's been a good week for the Street's scholars as Ken helps
Todd with essay writing and Emily offers Toyah her front room for quiet
reading after Emily finds her studying in the cafŽ when she should be at
work.
And that's just about that for this week.
