Hayley’s worst fears are confirmed when she’s
diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Roy takes refuge in research
ont’web and demands Hayley eat organic broccoli to beat the free radicals
while trying (and failing) to wrap her up in cotton wool. He doesn’t half
get on Hayley’s nerves. And although he’s only got her best intentions at
heart, he follows Hayley into the Bistro where she’s celebrating Audrey’s
birthday with a drink of bubbly, grabs the glass from her hand and tells
her not to drink, announcing loudly to everyone who’ll listen (and most of
them do): “You are gravely ill and you could die!” It’s too much for
Hayley and she gives Roy a stern talking to before storming off home.
News of Hayley’s cancer grows on the gossip grapevine and
when Tracy tells Roy she’s sorry to hear the news, Roy gives her short
shrift. In a wonderful speech, Roy reminds Tracy of the stress and the
anguish she’s caused the Croppers over the years. Let’s not forget she
drove Roy to consider suicide over baby Patience/Amy. Roy blames Tracy for
the stress that might have led to Hayley’s cancer, to which Tracy spits
back that it’s more likely Hayley’s hormone pills have caused it.
Protective of Roy - and speaking for the nation - Fiz stands up and
yells at Tracy to leave Roy alone. He makes his way back to the flat and
to Hayley where it doesn’t take long for the two of them to make-up over a
cuppa and a plate of cheese on toast. Roy holds Hayley and Hayley holds
Roy and there wasn’t a dry eye on our sofa when Roy tells Hayley she’s
given him the happiest time of his life and Hayley tells her husband: “I
don’t want to go. I always thought the best was yet to come for us both.”
Gulp.
Anyway, speaking of Audrey’s birthday, Rita throws a
party in the Bistro after Audrey’s family ignore her. But the
fragrant Mrs Roberts has much on her mind after suffering problems from a
damp patch in her downstairs area.
Another one
getting a man in to sort her out downstairs is Sally when Faye’s dad Tim
comes round to erect a shelf and tighten knobs - which fair puts a smile
on Sally’s face.
Carla asks Peter this week to be her partner – in
life and in business – as he gives the bookies shop to Rob in exchange for
paying his win on the horses. As Rob and Tracy plan to open a
pawnbrokers in the bookies, Carla takes Peter on at the factory where he
knows nowt about knickers. Michelle gives Carla what-for over the new
appointment while Kirk dispenses advice about scissors to Peter who’s
learning the ropes from packing up. “While you’re on about it,”
Carla tells Peter, “make an honest woman of me. You know how Deirdre likes
a good wedding.” They announce their engagement and go shopping for
a sparkler. Let’s hope Deirdre will be playing harmonica - if the two of
them ever make it up the aisle.
And that’s just about that for
this week.
