Rita tells Fred he's a fool over Stacy when the burly butcher asks her to go to th'ospital with him to check on how Stacy's doing. When they get there, Stacy's gone - only to turn up later on the street begging money from Fred. He takes pity on her and asks Rita to look over Stacy for a couple of nights and against her better judgement, she does. Fred tells Stacy she's not a bad person although Rita's face puckers up in disagreement. When staying indoors and polishing the brass loses its appeal, Rita takes Stacy shopping in town but disaster strikes while they're out. Stacy's boyfriend breaks in and trashes Rita's flat, she's in bits and blames Fred. Emily does her best for her mate with a strong cuppa tea. Stacy moves in with Fred and turns on the old Orchid charm when he tells her she'll have to move on, I say, Clurr and Ashley are coming home tomorrow. Where've they been?
Sunita takes the twins and leaves Dev, the flat, the soap opera on which she's been working for the last few years. Her brother Jayesh drives her away (we rarely see a woman drive herself off the cobbles, it's ominous when a Corrie woman drives a car anywhere at the best of times). Dev begs, pleads and cries for her not to go and take his babies and he crumples on the cobbles just as daughter Amber turns the corner into Dev's life. After pricking his conscience, he offers her a job in the shop, which she accepts. If this means we get to see more of the wonderful Amber, then that's great news.
Maria tells Tyrone her period's late and he jumps to conclusions, puts two and two together and gets quadruplets and is bouncing off the garage walls at the thought of being a dad. When Maria finds out she's not pregnant after all, she doesn't bother telling Tyrone until hours later and he wonders how much their relationship means to her. He decides to end things with Maria and they break up by the sinks in the salon. A fitting end, I think. Molly seizes her chance and helps Tyrone do up the chip van where they get hot and sweaty cooking burgers and prodding baps and she helps him get his engine running, in more ways than one. Maria goes on a date with the hack from The Gazette and bears all about her cheating past while engaged to Tyrone. She thinks she's found someone to talk to while the hack's mentally composing headlines for this surprise twist in the paper's Surprise the Burglar competition.
It's Sarah's birthday and there's cards from all the family - Gail, David, Bethany, Richard Hillman. Hang on, Richard Hillman? Someone has sent her a card as if it's from Richard and Sarah ends up in tears. Gail quizzes David who swears it weren't him and Phil denies all too. Who could it be? If you know, do tell, as I haven't a clue. David bumps into a stranger on the street, a beige woman called Muttley with a blonde dog called Jo (or was it the t'other way round?). Anyway, this woman Jo is carrying boxes from her car up to one of the flats above the bookies (just how many flats are there up there now?) and says she doesn't need help when she clearly does. She's cagey about the boxes (look away now if you don't want to know what's in them - the flat is going to be the Street's first cannabis factory and young David, feckless as he is, will get seriously involved). I worry for the dog.
Never reply to an email from Friends Reunited. That's going to be my motto from now on, you just might end up reuniting yourself with someone like Clifford. He pops into the cafe to see Roy who's not best pleased to see him after the debacle of the reunion t'other week. But when Clifford tells Roy he needs help doing up his model railway system (aka toy train set), Roy's eyes light up and he choo-choo-chooses to spend time with his new old friend, much to Hayley's disdain.
Kelly legs it down to the police station to pick up her phone and her bling that she had robbed a few weeks ago after her win on the scratch card. When she's there she bumps into Becky, a girl she was in care with many years ago. She gives Becky a bit of cash and tells the girl where she works when she insists on repaying her. Oh dearie me, I don't think that's the last Kelly will see of Becky somehow.
And finally this week, Charlie-boy the builder asks psycho Tracy to move in with him. He tells her to bring her toothbrush and is somewhat surprised when she turns up at his door with boxes and bags - and Amy. Ken and Deirdre warn their wayward daughter that Charlie's dangerous and they're worried for both Tracy and Amy but Tracy pays them no heed (I love that expression). Deirdre drowns her sorrows on a night out with the girls - Frankie, Liz and Eileen and she ends up snogging some fella in the Weatherfield Arms. Oh 'eck.
And that's just about that for this week.
