Cast your minds back to last week when Alison took the girls out for the afternoon without telling Kevin where she was going and Sally was all distraught after finding out Alison had been implicated in the death of her younger sister when they were kids. Well, when Alison does arrive back on the street, all innocent-like after taking the girls to have their portraits taken (and framed! crikey, that was quick), she realises why Kevin was so upset at her disappearance with his daughters and knows she can't continue to live with him as he will never be able to trust her, so she packs up and leaves Weatherfield for ever. Kevin has the troubles of the world on his shoulders. His fiancee has left him and now Natalie is onto him about the books of the garage. It's all cashflow and no profit, he must get more efficient or reduce overheads, so he gets rid of both Jim and Tyrone.
Now then, good stuff in the Rovers between new boy Vinny and
old girl Betty when she puts him in his place and calls him "sonny".
A definite meeting of minds, these two. Vinny is a wonderful addition
to the Street. Was it only me who saw the
aliens slip into the Rovers this week and abduct Natalie, replacing
her with an identical copy except for the sleeves? (she really
did, she had sleeves!!!!)
Jack retires from the Rovers this week. Tyrone
is gutted especially as he's on such a high having presented Jack
with his favourite pigeon (Fergie) stuffed and mounted in a glass
case. Jack hates it, but Vera says it must take pride of place
on the mantelpiece for fear of upsetting Tyrone. The staff at
the Rovers buy Jack a tankard (how original).
More PMT (pre-marital tension) for Maxine when her bridesmaid
storms out of the house, refusing to try on the bridesmaid dress.
Looks like bridesmaid has gone back to her ex-fiance after all
and isn't best pleased that she's already given away her wedding
time-slot at the local church to Maxine and now she wants it back!
Fickle, or what? And of course it means now that Maxine needs
a new bridesmaid. Ashley's birth mum, Kathleen calls into Freshco
and there's a beautiful scene when Ashley realises just who the
woman is that he's been trying to flog cheap rump steak to. Ashley sits down with Beryl to chat about the
wedding. Beryl has really warmed to Maxine and Ashley says 'Aye,
she's lovely'. Ashley explains that he would like Kathleen to
come to the wedding and Beryl is fine about it, just so long as
she is the groom's mother and Kathleen is just a guest. Straight
talking and honest, Kathleen explained why she 'abandoned' Ashley
after getting pregnant by her boss, Fred. She politely declines
the invitation to the wedding, saying that it is Beryl's day and
she deserves it more than her.
Bland Danny and Sally go to market trader George's funeral
together and afterwards, in the pub, he admits his true feelings
for Sally. (Now then, I just want to make it official. I like
Sally. I'm probably the only person in the world that still does,
but there, I've said it.) Anyway, so Sally knows bland Danny's
feelings towards her, but manages to keep quiet when Sharon calls
round to her house with a bottle of plonk and gets completely
Brahms after a mouthful of the stuff, telling Sally she loves
the guy to bits. Danny is missing from the
market as he's gone round to the Kabin to finish with Sharon.
Before he can do it though, Sharon asks him to move in with her,
so when he eventually manages to get a word in edgeways, the hurt
for Sharon is even more. In a touching scene with Rita in the
shop Sharon is in bits and blames herself for always throwing
herself into relationships too fast and getting carried away with
it all.
Now then, what else has happened? Maude and Emily received
their tickets for their Bangkok trip. And er, I think that's about
it for this week....
