The lovely Spider enlists Hayley to help out redecorating Aunty
Em's front room after last week's fire. While she gets cracking
making new curtains, Spider and Toyah do the wallpapering and
the place looks ok again. Hayley happens to mention that now Linda's
moved in with Mike, her old bedsit is free - at last, Spider and
Toyah have a home to call their own. Only one slight problem,
they can't afford it, so Spider, bless him, decides it's time
he got himself out and got a job (about bloody time, too !). Off
he goes to the jobcentre and tries to get a job as park keeper
but the job has already gone. However, Earnest in the jobcentre
tries to find something suitable for him. He tries slaughterhouse
work (no - he's vegetarian), pest control (no - he can't kill
creepy crawlies), car park attendant (no - we all know the damage
they do to the environment), baker (no - too many animal fats
and GM foods) and canal dredger (no - he can't work with Toyah's
dad).
Mike gives Linda a list of contacts to.. er, contact to see
if she can get herself an interview for a new job. However, she
takes it upon herself to get in touch with ex-employer Paul Wheeler
- well, he does have a bigger factory than Mike does and it b
ecomes obvious the two of them have a bit of history between them.
Super slimy Wheeler gives Linda the job straight away, having
checked her credentials and gone over one or two points previously,
and Mike isn't best pleased (in fact, he's more than a little
jealous) that Linda is working for Wheeler. (Anyone else think
that Linda has a look of Judy Garland about her? Or maybe it's
just the way the light shines on my telly).
Ken hands over the £10,000 to Mike as demanded last week.
When he explains to Deirdre that he did it to get rid of Mike
once and for all, and that he wished he could have paid for the
lawyer at the time herself - she goes all mushy.
Roy and Hayley attend a first aid class in a village hall.
"Once Lester unravelled that crepe bandage I could focus
on nothing else". There weren't many people there but it
doesn't deter these two, thinking it might get a better turn out
if they hold it in the café instead and Roy sticks up posters
advertising the class. Tyrone says he'll come along as long as
there'll be loads of girls there.
Maxine returns home alone after poor Ashley can't face the
flight and is coming home on a cargo boat later. Fred and Doreen
meet Maxine, distraught, at the airport and drive her home, where
she refuses to walk through the front door because Ashley had
promised to carry her over the threshold - awww. After telling
Maxine about Judy's death, Doreen tells Maxine she'll hang about
a bit at their place until Maxine gets settled in, but the truth
emerges that Doreen has left Maxine's dad and needs a place to
stay. All this bad news is too much for poor Maxine to take and
she goes round to see Tom in his flat - only to be met by Mel
in Tom's dressing gown, the pair of them up to rumpeh pumpeh despite
Mel's impending matrimonials. Tom however, has problems of his
own when his dad turns up in the Rovers and causes a bit of a
scene. Turns out his dad is none other than Crusher Ferguson,
ex-rugby player, who isn't best pleased his son turned out to
be a hairdresser. Tom however, has gone into shock at the thought
of having his first storyline.
A great few scenes when Ian takes Sharon away to Nottingham
for the weekend, and of course Sharon is too scared to tell Rita,
well aware of her feelings about Ian. However, Natalie spies Ian
and Sharon leaving in his car and tells Rita - a great scene in
which Rita's feathers are obviously ruffled at not being told
the truth from Sharon herself - but she isn't going to let Natalie
know that she doesn't know, you know? So, when Sharon comes back
and Rita says she knows the truth, Sharon storms into the Rovers
to give Natalie a piece of her mind, but it doesn't do anything
other than make Sharon look a bit more stupid than she is already
for even considering taking Ian back in the first place. Sharon
tells Sally she's fallen head over heels for Ian (again) but instead
of the expected support, Sally berates her friend. After that
argument in the Rovers, Sharon decides she's going to rub Natalie's
nose in it and takes Ian into the Rovers with her. Natalie remains
aloof but there's a definite atmosphere and Ian wants to leave.
Sharon persuades him to go to the bar and while he's there, Vinny
fills him in on the happenings of the night before and he storms
out. Sharon runs after him but Ian tells her he's angry at being
used. He drives off into the night as Sharon cries again.
And that's about that for this week.
Glenda ;-)
