Now then, if you recall, we left Fred and Eve at the posh country
hotel after they had a falling out when they should have been
getting married. Freds at the bar, Eves upstairs packing and the
two of them wont talk to each other. But finally Fred goes upstairs
to see Eve and shes thinking that Fred wants to run off with Audrey.
Its you I want, it always will be, he tells her and when a bloke
really means that, its always the best thing to hear. And so the
wedding takes place, at last, but Linda as bridesmaid is nowhere
to be found so Maxine takes her place as Frederick Handel Elliot
doth take thee Evelyn Margaret Sykes to be his lawful wedded wife.
After partaking of cake and much whisky, the happy couple drive
off on a meander round the Med and a visit to Venice. Meanwhile,
Lindas body double gets a smack across the face from Mike before
driving off in his car, leaving her clothes and belongings behind
in the bedroom. Both Mike and Mark are glad shes gone and when
he returns to Weatherfield, Mike gives Emily Lindas clothes for
a jumble sale at the hospital, telling her Most of em are expensive
- all of em are tarty. Only Geena is worried about her friends
whereabouts while the rest of us really couldnt give a stuff.
Shell be back in a blaze of glory and a leopard skin coat just
as soon as she can be, Im sure. Its mad innit; weve had two actresses
who are pregnant pretending theyre not and one actress who isnt,
pretending she is. Thespians, eh?
As Maria and Jason go jogging each morning, Tyrones getting
tetchy about their friendship. He has nothing to worry about,
unlike Maria, whos warning Fiz off her man at every opportunity.
At first Fiz is tempting Tyrone with chip butties, bacon sarnies,
bits of cake and the like but then it gets serious with a snog
in the garage. Tyrone doesnt know whether to be flattered or frightened,
(he seems to be both) and seeks advice from Jack. Jack tells him
hes young, play the field, sow his oats, be a man. He tells him
to make the most of his animal magnetism. How do I do that? asks
Tyrone. Roar, son. Roar. Jack replies. Vera dispenses womanly
wisdom to Maria in terms they both understand: Keep your dignity
against that mongrel, be a pedigree and put Tyrone on a tight
leash.
Its Phil Simmonds court hearing and Toyah refuses to go. Janice
and Les set off without her and theres drinks all round in the
Rovers later as Simmonds gets 10 years inside. Toyah decides its
time to take control of her life again and signs up for a further
year at University. Oh come on, Spider, if youre coming back,
come back soon. Toyah needs you more than ever.
Sally and Martin are feeling all smug that Gail thinks it was
she who brought them together. So as you can imagine, Gail is
not best pleased to find out from a chance remark in the Rovers
from Rita that the relationship has been going on far longer than
she thought. Shes been lied to again and lets the dopey duo know
what she feels about them, in no uncertain terms. Martin couldnt
care less, hes lied to Gail before and has no morals about doing
it again. But this time its Sallys betrayal thats hurt Gail more
than ever as she despairs at her friend: How could you Sal? How
could you?. As if that wasnt bad enough, Kevin returns from Florida
with the girls. Sally sits him down and gives him the news and
he takes it badly, very badly, especially as the holiday had given
him time to think about Sally, to realise how much he misses her
and wants her. After ranting and raving and sinking a few beers
in the Rovers, Kevin rounds off his day by smashing up Martins
car. Sarah Lou takes it badly, screaming at Martin and at Sally,
Rosie and Sophie take it in their stride its just another of mummys
boyfriends. The only one who doesnt yet know is David, its up
to Martin to break the news to him. Once Gail has calmed down,
she and Martin are back on speaking terms, but only just, as she
tells him: I know youre a good father - just a lousy human being.
And finally this week, Emmas started nesting and gets Jason
and Kirk in to decorate the bedroom. Kirk hurts himself opening
the tin of paint and has to be rushed to the surgery for a tetanus,
bless.
Ednas got a sense of doom and death and has taken to drinking
copious amounts of brandy to quieten the spirits and calm the
voices. Every landlord shes ever worked for has died while shes
been working for him and shes certain that Duggies next.
And thats just about that for this week.
Glenda :-)
