It was Valentine's day on the Street this week and Gail received two cards - one from Phil the foot fella and one from killer Richard Deadman Hillman. I reckon Gail should be as scared to receive one as t'other but she throws the one signed Richard in the bin and swoons over Phil's. Audrey reckons it's Phil sending the cards, pretending to be Richard and advises her daughter to dump the foot fondler. Phil denies it's him as does young David but he's got other stuff on his mind this week. He helps out Jo the air stewardess by walking dog Muttley while she flies through the air joining the Mile High (As A Kite) Club. Jo's left her cannabis farm in the flat and David's been watering the plants while she's away. When a leak springs upstairs, Jack, Eric and Charlie break in and find the plants, the dope gets busted by the cops (see, I know all the terminology), David denies all and signs a statement full of lies while Gail looks on, aghast, with a face on her that Ivy Tilsley would have been proud of.
Emily's friends rush to her side for endless cups of tea and handbags full of sympathy. Emily's feeling vengeful and says she'll never forgive Ed for killing her Ernest. When Eileen finds out the truth about her fella she grips her handbag to her very ample bosom and has a few tears. Eileen finally meets up with Ed to hear his side of the story and realises she loves the fella. When Eileen tells Emily she's decided to face the future with the killer of her husband, Emily spits out at her and asks is she really that desperate for a fella that she'll spread open her duvet for a cold blooded killer? The answer, dear reader, is yes.
Clifford gets his feet well under the table of life that is Roy and Hayley's marriage. Roy's in his element, chosing bits and pieces for the rail set while Hayley can't ignore the fact that Roy's neglecting his duties in the caff to play at toy trains. More importantly, she feels - and rightly so - that he's neglecting her too. Clifford knows exactly what he's doing to them both. He wants Roy as his friend, he wants his trains to play with and he doesn't want Hayley to spoil anything for him.
Charlie tells Tracy she can move back into his flat. She's free to bring her bits and her bots but not her baby, so Tracy dumps Amy on Ken, Deirdre and Blanche and takes her frillies to Charlie. "Throw her out if you don't want her here!" Tracy tells her parents. (I watched this scene with my mother who did a sharp intake of breath at this scene. I thought I'd have to revive her with a large brandy but in the end she was ok so I drank it myself). Anyway, an incensed Deirdre warns her wayward daughter that when Amy's old enough to understand, she's going to tell her what's happened so the poor little kid can find out just what kind of evil Tracy was capable of.
Fred picks up the phone at the Rovers and it's Bev, she's been dumped by her fella and at the side of a road. She's cold, lost and alone so Fred jumps into the van and roars off to find her. If Bev had been hoping for a knight in shining armour, what she got was a fat man in a meat van but it's good enough for Bev who's very grateful to Fred for rescuing her. The van breaks down and the two of them have plenty of time to chat. Grateful for a captive female audience, Fred asks Bev the question you just knew he would and asks Bev to be his bride, I say, would she do the great honour of marrying him? In good Fred style, he asked her twice. She replied only once. Her answer, dear reader, was yes
And finally this week, Rita goes off to view a retirement home but after a look around she decides she isn't yet ready to be put out to pasture. Emily offers Rita to move in with her and at first Norris isn't best pleased, that is, until Rita says he can move into her flat above the shop. Fancying the life of a dandy batchelor once more, Norris' eyes light up and he accepts Rita's offer.
And that's just about that for this week.
