Some people just don't like being happy, and Des Barnes is
one of them. Now he's realised that Claire is willing to give
up her £16,000 in pension so that she can live with him,
he tells her he wants her to move out. That's right, he's throwing
her and Becky out onto the street because he doesn't want to commit
himself to Claire the way she is prepared to commit herself to
him. (Des even seeks advice from slimebag Sean Skinner). Poor
Becky is suffering, she doesn't know what's going on and blames
herself for her mother and Des splitting up.
Raquel and Curly's marriage is starting to show some strain.
Curly still wants to have a family and Raquel tells him that true
commitment is needed for starting a family. "Commitment?"
he says "I am committed! Every night I've been committed,
sometimes twice a night!". Raquel starts her new job as a
masseuse in a beauty parlour. The girls she works with are all
blonde, pretty and in their pink and white uniforms, I fear Raquel
will get sucked into their Stepford Wives lifestyle in no time.
Curly is rather annoyed when he arrives to collect Raquel from
work, only to be told that she is going for a few drinks first
with her colleagues.
Ashleigh moves in with Don Brennan as his lodger and already
Don is leading the boy into bad habits. On the first night, Kelly
and Ashleigh hang around hoping that Don will go out so they can
have the house to themselves but Don shows no signs of moving
so they both end up going out themselves. Then, Don's friend comes
over for a drunken poker evening, and before you know it, Ashleigh's
playing poker like a demon (and winning), all thoughts of Kelly
gone from his mind.
Ken has a heart to heart with his headmistress and confesses
that he thinks she fancies him. At first, she denies it but later
admits that it was in the back of her mind. Off they go to the
multi media conference together, in separate rooms and Ken intends
to keep it that way.
Jamie is still a little upset about his father in prison but
Jack cheers him up when he tells him he can have one of the baby
pigeons as his very own.
Maureen and Bill ALMOST got together this week. Maude went
out to her bingo night, and Maureen invited Bill around for dinner.
The two of them admit they have strong feelings for each other,
run upstairs to the bedroom and just when Maureen is closing the
curtains, she spies Martin Platt's car outside in the street with
her mother getting out of the car. In a panic, they both get dressed
and dash downstairs. However, Maude recognised Bill's van, realised
what was going on and asked Martin to take her back to the Rovers,
leaving Bill and Maureen to wonder what's happened outside. "I
hope there'll be other times... " grunts a disappointed Bill.
"Oh yes, there will, I'll make sure of it" sighs a rather
confused Maureen.
Liz and Jim agree to disagree about their divorce, on the advice
of Deidre (who is dressed to look an awful lot like Joe90 in one
of this week's episodes). Deidre tells them to seek arbitration
which they decide to do (I'm not sure what this is as I wasn't
paying much attention at this point, my dog has a sore foot and
I was looking at that instead). Alf had to send his driving licence
to the DVLA for renewal when he hit his 70th birthday so he can't
drive his car at the moment and is walking everywhere. I wouldn't
have mentioned this but it was brought up a few times this week
so I thought I'd better slip it in, just in case.
