OCTOBER 22 2012
There’s no fool like an
old fool, as well Audrey knows, and she invites mystery woman
Penny along to face Lewis with her as he tries to lure Audrey
far, far away. With her cases packed, and Lewis ready to run,
his face turns that peculiar shade of grey my dad’s used to
turn when he smoked his once-a-year cigar each Christmas.
Well, it was Christmas, and the cigar had been given to him by
a big-wig at work. It didn’t matter that he didn’t smoke.
Anyway, I digress.
When Penny turns up, she has a go at Lewis, as does
Gail. Oh, and David. Oh yes, and Nick. Penny complains she’s
ten thousand pounds down due to Lewis’ dodgy dealings and what
does Audrey do? She only goes and pays Penny off with a
cheque. Oh Audrey. Oh dear. She won’t listen to her family,
she won’t listen to her head. The only sound she can hear is
the cry of her heart and the sound of her oven warming up to
cook a Freshco frozen meal for one, and it’s a sound she can’t
abide.
So she pays Penny off, lets Lewis know
he’s off the hook as far as Miss Diane from Crossroads is
concerned, dusts herself down and gets on with her life. Lewis
comes up smelling of roses when he gets a job in the Rovers as
their new, and rather dapper, barman. But what’s Gloria
plotting in the back room of the pub? She’s overhead Audrey
and Lewis’ situation, as only a landlady can, while she’s
titivating the nuts and the pumps. Next thing we know, Dr
Carter’s been called in and Gloria tells Lewis she’s dying.
Methinks there’s a plot afoot for Gloria to put Lewis to the
test and I do believe Gail might be behind it. I could be
wrong, of course but I seldom am.
Mind you, Gloria’s got more on her mind
than luring Lewis into her man-trap because she thinks she’s
found the mystery drinker from Lancashire Life who’s there
judge for the pub of the year competition. The only thing is,
she’s got the wrong bloke. Dennis overhears Gloria saying
she’s got to make a good impression with mystery drinker and
so he pretends he’s the one, and gets plenty of free drinks
from Gloria, aiming to please. Not so pleased is the real
mystery drinker who spots what’s going on. Could the game be
up for Gloria and the glory taken away from Golden Glo? And by
eck, for those who like to know these things (like what I do),
the Rovers had a guest beer on this week.
Determined to out Tracy’s lies
about her relationship with Ryan, Steve breaks up with
Michelle in front of Tracy and Ryan. If only he’d told
Michelle of his man-scam-plan, but no, she thinks it’s for
real and treats it as such with tears and tantrums before
finding a warm seat next to Rob for some comfort. Oh Steve. Oh
dear. Steve thinks he’s dong great, he even convinces Ryan to
do a full frontal proposal to
Tracy in the
Rovers so everyone can hear what’s going on. Not only does
Tracy turn him
down, she tells him she’s no longer pregnant although we all
know that she never really was. So while Steve was
aiming to do the right thing and his actions might have had
the results he was after, Michelle wants nowt to do with him
now.
Over at
Roy’s Rolls, Mary
holds more theme nights but after the Moroccan night, Anna
tells Mary she’s quitting, it’s too much hard work and she’s
not sure Roy’d be
happy. Oh, he won’t, he won’t. Mary drafts in Norris
to work on the French night and even opens the Croppers’ flat
up to accommodate more diners. Oh Mary. Oh dear. When
Roy finds out he
won’t be best pleased, even if the theme nights are a
financial success, it’s not what
Roy’s about and he
won’t want to upset the workers at the Bistro, which is what
Mary’s gone and done as their takings have hit rock bottom
since Mary’s theme nights have begun.
And finally this week, Lloyd and Mandy
share some sub-duvet action and Jenna comes to her senses.
There’s a nice little family set-up settling down for Lloyd
and I like it a lot.
