t's not been a good week for Charli. She finds "Ramsden
is an alky" written on the class blackboard and enters the
room just in time to find Todd Grimshaw trying to rub it all off.
Unfortunately for Todd, Charli assumes he's the one who wrote
it and manages to get him excluded from school for a week. It's
a few days later before the real culprit comes clean and admits
he wrote not only that message but also the one spray painted
on the Ramsden's front door. But why has this pupil got such a
grudge against Charli? Tune in next week for the most improbable
answer and ridiculous coincidence that can only ever happen in
the strange world of soap.
Sam's been trying to impress Toyah this week and his face has
been doing that strange look that it does when he's trying to
think. Ken suggests a night at the cinema to see 'Being John Malkovich'
(wonderful film) and Toyah's impressed but Sam's confused. He's
trying too hard to please and she's humouring him for now although
Janice tells her to be careful and make sure she doesn't hurt
Sam. Meanwhile, Les is already calling the lad "son".
Bless him, that Sam, he's harmless, just gormless.
Maxine comes clean to Audrey and confesses about her night
of passion with Matt. Audrey,
experienced in such matters, tells
Maxine to keep schtum, nothing good will come of it if she decides
to tell Ashley. But Maxine's struggling with keeping such a big
thing from Ashley (there'll be an even bigger thing coming along
soon methinks) and admits to Audrey she's having trouble lying,
because, as she says: "I'm a rotten actor." (Ahem).
Anyway, she and Matt are doing their best to avoid each other
(not easy when they live next door) but come face to face eventually
at the surgery when Maxine goes with Ashley who has his stitches
taken out. So it's all systems go now for Ashley and Maxine to
produce little Peacocks, but Maxine has gone strangely off the
idea, feeling too guilty to do doings under de duvet.
Dev takes Deirdre to SexySpex for new glasses and with a little
persuasion from Dev and the optician (who insists on calling Dev
"Mr Rashid") she trades in her big frames for some cute
little things that make her, incredibly, look pretty nice. To
celebrate her new look, Dev splashes out on a spot of lunch for
them both too.
What a star that Dev is. While Geena's at work, he arranges
to have all her stuff moved out of her flat and into his. She's
stunned when she founds out, but is over the moon and insists
on marking the occasion by inviting her parents around for dinner
with them both. Now then. I don't know everything there is to
know about my parents, and that's probably a good thing. But I
do know the basics; how many sugars they take in their tea (none),
how they like their steak cooked (mam - medium, dad - well done),
if they're fascists or homophobes (no and no). So you'd think,
wouldn't you, that Geena would have had an inkling that an Asian
boyfriend wouldn't have gone down well with her mum. But no, it
comes as a complete surprise and leads to a major falling out
between mother and daughter. In her best Elsie Tanner voice, she
chides Geena over the difference in age and culture, she simply
doesn't approve or understand and nor does she want to.
Mr Hartnell popped into the cafe this week to remind us all
that the Croppers are registered foster carers and with his say
so, could be fostering again any time they choose. But will they
want to after their experience with Wayne?
After Peter stole the five thousand pounds last week, he bets
the lot on a horse and sends Steve to put the bet on, in case
he's recognised by a bookie. The horse comes in at a million to
one and wins by a short nose and a long beard or whatever it is
that horses do in races and Peter's got a packet. He starts getting
nervous when Steve doesn't return with the money and is livid
when Karen tells him Steve's put the winnings on another bet,
the County vs City football game later that day. Steve bets on
County to win and Peter, without telling the others, bets on City
to win, just in case. Anyway, City win which is a turn up for
the book(ie)s. This storyline's all a bit daft really but it means
that Peter can now put in an offer to buy the bookies, which he
does. He then tries to give Rob his five thousand pounds back
but obviously can't admit it was him that stole it to start with.
Steve suggets Peter should smash Rob's car window, throw the money
into the car and scarper. (I'm sure I saw this work when Abbott
and Costello did it). However, the car alarm starts up and Peter
does a runner, still with Rob's cash in his hands.
After flirting for days over the bar at the Rovers, Sunita
and Duggie finally get together on a date. Neither of them are
bothered about the age difference although Betty finds it funny.
"What's this then?" she asks him when he comes out all
dolled up for the date. "Love's middle age dream?".
