There's chaos in the
comping world when Norris and Mary dream up slogans to enter a cough
medicine competition.
Norris doesn't like Mary's poetic musings and she bins the
piece of paper where she's scribbled her thoughts, only for Sylvia
in the caf? to pick it up and enter it in her own name. Roy isn't
best pleased at his mother's dishonesty, neither are Mary and Norris
when they found out what Sylvia's gone and
done.
Over at Underworld,
Frank sends his mother in acting as his poxy proxy and she strips
out the fixtures and fittings taking 40% of everything she and her
hench mob can lay their nasty fingers on. This leaves Carla with
nothing to work with and she lays off her staff. There's a wonderful scene
when she sacks Sally. "But this job, it's the only thing that's,
well, mine," cries Sally with tears in her eyes.
Anyway, Sally's tears
dry soon enough when Frank's mum Anne poaches Sally and she sets to
work for Frank. It's another blow to Carla who's already been beaten
down by the cops for harassing Frank when all she did was go round
there to complain about him nicking half the factory machines.
Meanwhile, Sally gets
jiggy with Jeff and he starts staying overnight, much to Sophie and
Kevin's dismay.
Eileen gets warm and
cosy with fireman Paul and he stays the night at her place after a
night on the sofa with the red wine. What she doesn't know yet is
that Marcus has spotted Paul in Frescho with another woman, a woman
that he hugged and kissed and could well be his wife.
Elsewhere, there's
cuddles on the cobbles when Matt takes Tina to a dinner dance and
insists he takes her out to buy a posh frock. Tommy thinks Tina's
going to get sick of Matt and he hovers at her elbow's edge, just in
case she changes her mind about dating a dishy doctor and falls in
lust with a greasy, thick, grease monkey instead.
Also, Tyrone tells
Kirsty that he's falling fall her after revealing the truth about
Molly, Kev and little baby Jack. She seems like she's got her
head on the right way round, does Kirsty, but she and Tina keep
having a dig at each other, putting Tyrone in the middle, where he
never likes to be.
And that's just about
that for this week.
This week it was a
good week for the lady writing team of Debbie Oates, Julie Jones,
Jayne Hollinson with Damon Rochefort and Martin Allen.
