The factory girls are revolting, especially Janice Battersby, and aren’t best pleased with Hayley for getting friendly with Becky. Undeterred, Hayley gives Becky a job in Roy’s Rolls but is she being too kind? Roy seems to think so and has a word with Becky about chewing while working although she reckons the mastication helps her concentration. She drops stuff, hits the customers, changes the wireless dial from Radio Fogey to Slapper FM and smacks Les around the chops when he badmouths Roy and then she tries to fiddle Tyrone out of a fiver. The factory girls almost boycott Becky in the café and threaten to take their sandwich order elsewhere but Hayley says everyone deserves a second chance. She’s too kind, that Hayley, too kind.
As Danny plans a Spanish wedding and peruses brochures about buying a villa, Jamie and Frankie have hanky-panky behind his back and upstairs in the bedroom. As mum and stepson snuggle under the duvet, Danny’s downstairs knocking at their front door wondering where the pair of them are. Danny was planning to cook dinner for his wife to be and his son but they’ve already dined in the kitchen of lurve. Jamie’s all for telling Danny and finally Frankie agrees but just as they’re about to give Danny the bad news, in walks tanfastic Warren, back in Blighty from Spain for footy talks with Port Vale. “Buenosh Diash” he says in that way that he does, and “Cushty”. I was hoping he’d ask where his Candy-girl was but he doesn’t seem to care that she’s naffed off with The Quo. Anyway, Danny takes his boys and his missus to the Italian in the precinct, the one with the checky red tablecloths and emotions run high. It must be something in the pizza. Danny’s kept in the dark, for now.
Michelle and Steve nickname Vernon “pervy pot-man” when Liz gives him a job collecting glasses in the pub. She wants him up and down the stairs with the mixers and the barrels, while he wants a quiet life and a place to rest his head. But he’s not that daft as he knows if he wants someone to live and keep on the right side of Liz, he’ll have to make it at least look like he’s working, even if he isn’t. Steve has a word with Vernon in the back room about his intentions towards Liz. “She rings my bell, she blows my horn.” Vernon tells him, which is probably a bit more information than Steve really wanted to hear.
Gail’s parenting classes seem to be doing some good as she calms down her warring kids as they try to knock ten bells out of each other on the sofa. David gets Gail watching Formula One racing on telly and mum and son settle down on the sofa, watching it together in the living vroom.
Bev moves in with the Peacocks, a mother hen in a cooped up pen. To escape her clutches, Claire’s only too happy to take up Tracy Barlow’s offer of friendship next door. By ‘eck, she must be desperate. Tracy makes on as if Charlie will perform unspeakable acts upon her person in a violent sort of manner if her cooking, cleaning and domestic goddess skills aren’t up to scratch. Her evil plan is working when Claire confides to Ashley and Bev that she’s starting to feel concerned (when she’s really being conned). Having decided to rechristen baby Thomas to Freddie, Claire and Ashley decide on godparents in Eileen and Roy. Hayley’s put out that she hasn’t been asked and is just a bit too enthusiastic with the slapping on Eileen’s back as she chokes on her crisps when the Peacocks ask her to accompany Roy.
Cilla starts behaving oddly doing things she’s never done before like cooking for her family and taking them out for Sunday lunch. Fiz smells a rat, she knows something’s up but Cilla denies there’s anything going on. Cilla even tidies the house which makes Chesney upset when she clears up his under-bed fungus collection. Les asks Eileen about, you know, women’s troubles and lowering his voice to a whisper in case anyone should hear him speak of ladies unmentionables, asks Eileen if Cilla might be going through the change. “The Chains?” asks Eileen before kicking Les out of the cab office after giving him a good yelling at. Well, he did suggest Eileen might have been through it too.
And that’s just about that for this week.
