It's been a bit of a heavy going week on the Street with very
little light hearted relief. Trying to make up for the absence
of Alf, Audrey Roberts has been in just about every camera shot
of the 4 episodes this week and I've had just about enough of
her.
Fiona is pregnant! But just WHO is the father? PC Alan McKenna
or me old mucker Jim McDonald? Alan assumes he's the father of
course and Fiona hasn't given Jim a thought, but as soon as Jim
found out the wee girl Fi was up the duff, his eyes popped out
and he went all wobbly like I do when I've had too much guinness
on a Friday night. Fiona's parents have offered to pay for a larger
wedding than the one they had planned, and it looks as though
the wedding bandwagon will just roll on now no matter what Fiona
wants. (That's why we escaped 10,000 miles away for our wedding,
dearie!!).
More heavy storyline this week when Samantha's ex husband,
Ritchie, turned up on the doorstep, just as Sam and Des were going
to take their friendship one step further. Ritchie thinks he can
woo Samantha to get her to come back to him, and she has a bit
of a waffle about who to choose, but in the end she chooses Des.
With the red wine going down smoothly, she tells him she's ready
to.. er.. you know, and the credits rolled.
The inevitable happened this week (didn't we know it would?)
when Ken went to the airport to pick up a client for Sunliners,
and bumped into Jon, working in Tie n Fly. Jon bluffed his way
out of the awkward situation, telling Ken he was on his pilot's
coffee break or something and was looking for a tie in the bottom
drawer of the sales cabinet, but Ken guesses there's something
up in the way that Jon is behaving, very suspiciously! Jon tells
Deirdre that his ex-wife wants to sell "their" house
and wonders how much Mavis is selling her house for on the Street,
perhaps they'll end up moving in there?
The Battersbys take a look around Mavis' house when they hear
she's moving out. Les thinks he might be able to get his hands
on some antiques he can sell on, and the whole family barge into
Mavis' little nest, upsetting her and the budgie. When Fred Eliot
comes to the door to take a look around the house too, Mavis is
overjoyed to see him, and uses him as an excuse to get rid of
the Battersbys. Rita and Mavis view a property in the lake district
and agree that they'll put in an offer, which is accepted. Alec
warns Rita about putting in too high an offer "Have you heard
about gazumping?" he asks her. "Have you heard about
a thump in the mouth?" she replies. Rita also comes out with
another corker - Alec warns her about spending too much money
on property - "Just look what happend to the Duckworths"
he says, and Rita comes out with "Alec, YOU happened to the
Duckworths!".
Vera and Mavis start their cookery class together, with Vera
egging Mavis on to sit beside her at the back of the class "It's
more fun at the back" chortles Vera, reminiscing about her
school days and wondering why she never did very well in class.
Chris and Sally are becoming closer now, as Angie and Chris
cool off towards one another. While Kev and Eva Braun are away
in the Canurries, Chris tells Angie he doesn't want to go out
with her, telling her he's tired, but he tells Sally he would
rather stay in with her and the girls instead. They haven't got
stuck into the red wine yet, but it's just a matter of time. Sally
will be breaking out the rose and they'll be taking little sips
of it. Oh, they won't want to but they won't be able to control
themselves. It won't be long before Sally nips down to the corner
shop for a bottle of red. Just wait and see.
The midwife comes to visit baby Katie and is surprised that
Zoe isn't around. Judy and Gary tell the midwife, and everyone
else, that Zoe has ran away and left the baby with Gary, who as
the father, is happy to look after her. With Zoe gone, Judy and
Gary can start to relax with the baby. "Eeh, our Katie"
coos Judy. "Aye, our Katie" mews Gary.
There's now a jukebox in the Rovers! Vera says she misses the
piano, but the last time I saw the piano there was when Betty's
husband Billy played it, which must have been last year sometime.
I can't recall it being around since then. Anyway, the jukebox
is on the wall and looks like it's here to stay.
Which is more than can be said for Andy McDonald. He returned
this week looking all bronzed and relaxed after working in Spain,
and as always happens when you've lived away from home for any
length of time, you come back and you get bored. Andy will get
itchy feet and trot off back to Spain soon when he's written out.
Steve McDonald's girlfriend is getting a bit bored too, with her
relationship with Steve. When Steve finds out that Fiona's pregnant,
his girlfriend guesses that the news has upset him. She tells
him he either has to forget about Fiona, or forget about her.
