Well, Fiona and baby Morgan left this week. A tearful Maxine
comes to the salon to say goodbye to her friend, but Fiona's not
having any of it and tells her to leave. Fi goes into the Rovers
to say goodbye to everyone, but as Steve is at the bar, she's
in and out of there as quick as you like and away in a taxi with
her mother and the baby. And that's it, the wee girl has gone,
so she has. So, the salon looks set to become Audrey's unisex
health and beauty emporium. Fred Elliot offers to raise the cash
and become her business partner - "Pies or perms, they're
all the same to me" he says. However, Audrey is wary of Fred's
'hands on' approach to business, when he tells her "in this
partnership, there'll be ups and downs, mind!". Audrey tells
Alf, who goes to the bank and says he'll put the money into the
salon instead and help out by doing the books. Fred's peeved,
of course, he tells Audrey she's a ruthless business woman and
storms out of the salon.
Sally and Kev argue throughout this week, with a stand up slanging
match in the street between Greg, Sally and Kevin. When Kev tells
Sally he's going to get a child minder to look after the girls,
she takes them from the minder earlier than Kevin, and holds them
hostage in her flat while Greg force-feeds baked beans to Kevin.
No, of course this didn't happen, but by God, it would be a heck
of a lot more exciting if it did. Rita tries to have a word with
Sally, tries to warn her about Greg but Sally turns the tables
saying "Did I tell you what to do about Alan Bradley?"
Ouch. Let this be a warning to all those going to Blackpool this
weekend - watch out for those trams.
Jack takes £1,200 from Vera and his joint building society
account, and loses it all on the dog races in the betting shop.
When she finds out, she plays merry hell, but by this time, he's
won it all back again. She whips the winnings out of his hand,
and tells him she's withdrawn all the money from the account and
deposited it in another account in her sole name so Jack can't
get his hands on it. Oh, and she wants a holiday in Tenerife.
Des tells Natalie they've been invited, as a couple, to his
brother's wedding in Hartlepool. (Let's just hope he doesn't make
a monkey out of himself). Also, another quick shot of a couple
we haven't seen in a while - Judy is nesting in her front room
while all Gary wants to do is bash around on his drum kit. More
red wine shenanigans this week between Liz and physio Michael.
Who knows where that will lead? (Well, I do, I heard it on the
radio that she runs off with Michael and leaves Jim later this
year, the tart).
Oh, some lovely scenes this week between Roy and Hayley. With
a bit of encouragement from Gail, Roy finally picks up the courage
to ask Hayley to move into his flat with him, "...you'll
be no inconvenience" he tells her. So, with her bags packed,
she arrives in the cafe and off they go upstairs together. Hayley,
resplendent in new frilly nightie and dressing gown, is expecting
she and Roy to share the only bed in the flat. Roy, however, has
other plans and sleeps on the fold-out bed in the living room.
Roy tells Hayley he believes they should marry first before taking
the relationship any further, and on bended knee, proposes to
Hayley. However, she has to turn him down. It's against the law
for transsexuals to marry. The next night, Roy turns down the
lights and cooks a meal in the flat, accompanied by a bottle of
red wine - a lovely touch - it had a screw top. Anyway, with 'The
Lady in Red' then 'Natural Woman' playing in the background, Roy
admits he doesn't have much experience in the ways of, you know,
in fact he doesn't have any experience and had been to the library
earlier that day to look for a book on the subject. Hayley, relieved,
tells Roy that she also doesn't have any experience of, you know.
Roy pipes up "Well, if niether of us know what we're doing,
then we won't know if we're doing it wrong, will we?" And
with that, he leads Hayley by the hand, to the bedroom.
And that is just about that for this week.
Glenda :-)
