Manic Don sneaks up on Baldwin in "Underworld" and
bashes him over the head with someone large and heavy (Gail's
chin, I think it was). So Mike is lying on the floor, wounded,
and Don ties him to a table so he's unable to move. Threatening
to kill him, Don tells Mike he's going to torch the factory with
him in it, but before he can carry out his evil deed, in comes
Angie, hero of the hour who coshes Don on the head with something
even bigger and heavier (Deirdre's glasses, this time) and off
she runs to phone the police. However, Don escapes with Mike's
car keys and revving the car up, he smashes it straight into a
pile of cardboard boxes placed along a wall, the car bursts into
flames, Don is written out at last. Not very exciting really,
but there you go.
Mavis leaves after a little soiree in Rita's flat. The two
of them bicker to the end but make up in time for Rita to give
old Mave a fond and tearful farewell. The neighbours in the Street
present Mavis with an old photo of her with Rita working in the
Kabin many years ago. And off she went to the lakes, with Rita
asking for a double vodka in the Rovers and tears in her eyes
wondering if she'd made a mistake staying put in Weatherfield.
Now of course, Rita needs a new assistant and asks Judy Mallett
if she would like a few hours work each day, bringing Katie along
with her to snooze away in the back room (much like Mavis did
really).
Does the Street have a ghost? No! As I said last week, it's
Les Battersby causing havoc - but why? Emily is becoming more
concerned with Percy's absent mindedness, and Percy is sure that
Emily has taken to drinking after finding an empty vodka bottle
down the side of the chair. Ken also thinks Emily might have a
drink problem after finding her with an empty brandy bottle in
his house, but Emily says the bottle was empty when Ken gave it
to her. Then, Emily finds a girlie magazine in Ken's house and
is too embarassed to say anything to him, but when Ken finds the
magazine later, he rushes to the Rovers, explains to Emily that
it isn't his (that's what they all say, Ken) and they wonder just
what is going on. Well, in terraced houses in this part of the
world, some of the older ones have attics that are linked together.
To get from one house to another, all you do is climb up into
your own attic space, walk along to your neighbour's and let yourself
into your neighbour's house through their loft hatch. And this
is exactly what Les Battersby is doing... but why? He even tells
Janice that he's noticed strange goings on in their house too
and breaks a mirror in their living room while no one else is
around to make it look as if strange things are going on in their
house too. Janice is terrified, after hearing tales of Ivy's ghost
and is convinced that Ivy is back to haunt them all. Even Toyah
and Leanne wonder if it's a mischeveious spirit so they get the
ouija board out but when it spells out "Toyah is fat"
they know they shouldn't be taking it seriously.
And it finally happened.. Ken told Deirdre the truth about
John. Oh, she cried, she shouted, she wanted to disbelieve him
but in her heart she knew she had to find out the truth for herself,
so off she went to Manchester airport and saw it with her own
eyes. After confronting John, he came round to see her at the
flat, and told her that yes, he had been a pilot but was discharged
because he had an ear imbalance (no fun, I know - I have one too.
Oh well, there goes my chances of flying Concorde - darn!) Anyway,
instead of being made redundant he took a managerial retail position
which he felt he didn't want to tell Deirdre about because he
didn't know he was going to be so serious about her. Deirdre's
neck muscles don't know whether they're coming or going, she really
is in a waffle about what to do. At first she tells him she wants
nothing to do with him, but with a wobble in her voice, she eventually
tells him that she wants to put this all behind her and get on
with their future together. 'Atta girl!
Fred, desperate for news from Maureen, stays indoors in case
the phone should ring, but it never does. Maude receives a letter
from Maureen telling her to sell the shop and to offer it to Fred
first, but Fred wants nowt to do wi' it. He decides to move back
into his old bachelor pad and Ashley helps him move out of the
Street, looking rather fetching with a pink lamp shade on his
head.
