Sally snuggles up to freaky Frank
this week and their cover's blown when Eileen and new girl Beth spot
them snogging in the factory. Sally tells Frank she believes in his
innocence: "I'm a good judge of character," she cooed. Oh, how we
laughed on our sofa.
Another couple whose cover looks set to blow is
Peter and Carla, or as I like to call them by their celebrity name,
Carpet. Stella "come through to the back" Price tells Peter she
knows there's summat going on between him and Carla when she spots
the necklace she thought Peter had bought for Leanne sitting snugly
around Carla's neck. Peter denies and lies. But Stella, desperate to
keep her profile as high as possible by meddling in every other
character's storylines so that she'll have more screen-time than a
whole flock of Jack's pigeons ever did, refuses to believe him and
keeps her beady little eyes peeled in the
bar.
Eileen's fed up, again. Tired of being taken for
granted by Jason, of eaten frozen turkey burgers for tea, of being
on her own and desperate for a bloke, tells Paul that she wants him.
When does she want him? Now! What does she want him for? Owt! Owt!
Owt! Paul's a bit shocked but sees there could be something in what
Eileen proposes, if only he could stop loving his wife Lesley so
much, but there seems little chance. He cares too much and dashes
home from a meal with Eileen in the Bistro when he gets a call to
say Lesley's been asking a neighbour where he's
gone.
The feud between Kirsty and Tina hots up. Kirsty
finds out Tina's going to be driving Rita's car and arranges for the
cops to pull her over for speeding. But it's not Tina the cops pull
over for speeding, it's Rita whose driving instead. She was doing 33
in a 30 zone and gets hauled down to the cop shop. Sorry, but hang
on till I put my anorak on. Just hang on. It's on now. Didn't the
researchers know that the Association of Chief Police Officers have
an official formula for calculating a speeding offence. It allows a
leeway of 10% plus 2mph so Rita shouldn't have been clocked at all.
But what do I know, I'm just a big lass. Tina knows Kirsty's behind
Rita's speeding fine and when she confronts her, Tyrone listens at
the door to hear Kirsty brag and confess. Poor Tyrone, just when it
looked like he'd found someone he could love after Molly popped her
clogs, Kirsty turns out to be as nasty as everyone thinks that she
is and Tyrone throws her out. But this won't be the last we see of
Kompletely Krazy Kirsty, WPC from Hell.
Down at Streetcars, Becky and Steve are at odds
and he's being really nasty, still refusing to believe her about
making Tracy lose the twins. But Becky's got plans for Streetcars
and has dinner with Danny in an attempt to get a cab contract for
his posh hotel in town. Danny, you'll remember, was the one who saw
Tracy in distress on the night of his meeting with Steve and Becky
at the hotel. The very same night that Tracy went loopy over finding
out Becky and Steve were together at the hotel. So loopy in fact,
that she had to be rushed to hospital, where she lost the twins.
It's only a short matter of time before Danny tells this to Becky
and the truth will come out about Tracy's
miscarriage.
And finally, at the corner shop, it's Amber's 21st
and Dev buys his daughter a car. Sunita is officially not best
pleased that her husband has spent so much money on the gift and
storms around the shop in a bad jumper and a
huff.
