There's all sorts going on at
Roy's Rolls this week when Sylvia decides to take charge,
and charge she does. She charges for use of the ketchup, the salt,
the pepper and the loo. The customers are up in arms, complaining
hither and thither but it's water off a duck's back to Sylvia, she's
intent on pushing up the profits and woe betide anyone who gets in
her way. And that person is Norris, who nicks the key to the loo,
demanding his right to a free pee. Well, Sylvia spots him and locks
him in there overnight. Oh dear, what can the matter be? Norris Cole
is locked in the lavatory. He was there from Friday to Monday and
nobody knew he was there. Except Sylvia did, you see. Mary's
fretting about Norris' whereabouts, convinced he's been kidnapped by
Al Qaeda and just when she's wondering which one of the Suchet
brothers will play him in the film of his life, Sylvia unlocks the
door to the lavvy and Norris is free. Well, I tell you, Mary is Not
Best Pleased and calls a council of war with Emily and Dennis to
demand that Norris is given compensation for his night in the netty.
It's agreed that Norris, Mary, Emily and Dennis will be given a
slap-up banquet at Roy's and that Sylvia will play waitress, as an
apology for her behaviour.
And while Sylvia serves up the food, she does not and will
not say that she's sorry. She does give a wry smile to
Dennis though, she's got her eye on
him.
In prison, Fiz grasses up
the drug dealer and gets herself beaten up for being a grass. I don't understand this. Fiz
wouldn't grass up her husband who was going round murdering people
but suddenly, she's banged up with a bunch of no-hopers and she's
grassing them up left, right and centre. Mind you, she does get a
place in the mother and baby unit in exchange for the information on
the drugs runner she's given to the Guv'nor (played by Norma from
Shameless).
Julie and Brian finally get
together after Eileen and Dennis set them up to meet once again.
"You need to be proactive," Marcus says to Julie after she moans
about being single. "I'm a woman, Marcus, not a yoghurt!" she
replies, in some wonderful dialogue from writer Carmel Morgan. Julie's over the moon to be
back with Brian and he (and these are his words, not mine) tell
Julie he can't wait to get his sausage fingers around her nimble
waist.
Elsewhere this week, Audrey
asks Marc to move in with her and he says yes. Of course he says
yes, he's onto a good thing with the goddess that is the fragrant
Mrs Roberts but it seems to me that she's getting the short end of
the stick once again.
Meanwhile, Gail goes all
guns blazing after Kylie as David's away and Kylie's flirting with
some fella in the pub.
When Kylie refuses to come home and leave the bloke in the
pub, Gail locks her errant daughter in law out of the house.
And finally this week,
Frank does his best to get Carla and Leanne back on talking terms
instead of trying to rip each other to shreds on the Street. It kind of works, but when
Carla and Leanne give each other a girly hug, Carla gives Peter a
look behind Leanne's back, yes, that kind of look. Ooh, it's all
going to go so horribly wrong, I can just feel it.
Right, I'm off to celebrate my birthday, see you next
week.
This week's writers were Chris Fewtrell,
Simon Crowther and Carmel
Morgan.
