It's fair to say that
Gail and daughter-in-law Kylie aren't getting on that well. "She's a
Tasmanian devil in a push-up bra!"snorts Gail when tensions grow in
the Plat household. It's Ivy all over again and great fun to
watch. David wants his mam to look after both him and his wife, and
Gail's at her wits end as neither of the young ?uns do anything in
return around the house for being cooked and cleaned for.
"We're all women, we gotta stick together," says Kylie to Audrey in
the salon at work. "I'm a feminist, me.? Audrey arches
her perfectly manicured brows and invokes Mrs Pankhurst. "Is she me
first client this morning?"asks Kylie.
Anyway women and men are
much on Audrey's mind this week as she decides to give Marc the
benefit of the doubt and turns up as his house to tell him she's
ready to be more than just friends. Trouble is, Marc's in full
Marcia mode, all made up and ready to go out on the tiles.
Reluctantly, Audrey agrees to go with him and meets one of Marc's
mates, Aaron/Anthea who's there with his wife Christine/Christine.
Audrey and Christine have a good long chat about fellas who wear
frocks and it's clear that Audrey's fallen for Marc.
In a cold prison cell,
Fiz sits and cries and as we're going to be in with this for
the next few weeks I'll probably just recycle this line in every
weekly update until she gets freed, which you know of course she
will. Meanwhile little baby Hope's being looked after with
care by the Croppers. And Chesney defends his sister against Norris'
nosiness by sticking a cream cake in nosy Norris' face. Wonderful
stuff.
Kev's unwilling to loan
the Roof and Refuge charity any cash so Sophie logs into his bank
account online and moves twenty grand of his lottery cash to the
couple who are running the place. Only trouble is, they go and do a
runner, taking Kevin's money with them. It's fair to say Sophie is
beside herself with guilt and Kev's not best pleased either. Well,
you wouldn't be, would you? The cops are called but Kev can't bring
himself to dob Sophie in so he tells the fuzz that he transferred
the funds as he argues with Sally over Sophie.
Over at the Barlow's,
James is embroiled in the missing money misery and it's becoming
clear he's not as innocent as we first thought. He meets with the
fella who did the runner with Kev's cash and gets his share of it, a
measly three thousand pounds when James wanted more. Back at
the house, Ken tells his grandson that he believes in his innocent.
"What's mine is yours,"he tells him as James takes more than a
passing interest in the bricks and mortar of Number 1.
Elsewhere, the lovely
Amber returned from University for the summer, much to Dev's delight
and Sunita's chagrin. "You look better with some weight on
yer,"says Amber to Sunita, making it clear where things lie between
them both. Tommy Dickworth, sorry Duckworth, gives Amber the glad
eye but she's having none of him yet anyroad and as she's a smart
lass, let's hope she won't.
And finally, there's a
new baby Barlow on the way when Leanne tells Peter she's
pregnant.
And that's just about
that for this week.
