Eileen's caught up
in cabbie chaos this week when Lloyd turns Primo Cabs into Fare
Ladies with its women-only drivers and Steve's not best pleased.
Especially when he finds out Lloyd's nicked the Streetcars contract
for the 1o'clock club along with one of their lady drivers, Gaynor.
Gaynor? Tracy comes up with a cunning plan to get herself in Steve's
good books, giving Lloyd a sob story that she's out to get Steve so
Lloyd takes her on at Fare Ladies to work on the switch. She's only
there five minutes and she's sending the cabs to the wrong addresses
and sabotaging the cars. When Lloyd finds out what's going on, he
storms out and hunts Steve down at the Bessie Street school sports
day where Steve ends up being chased around the field by Lloyd. Both
of them are hauled in to see the headmaster and ticked off for being
naughty and so they make up, agree to split the cost of fixing the
Fare Ladies cabs and Lloyd and his records move back in to the cab
flat with Steve. Eileen's happy the lads have patched up because
she's managed to negotiate herself a pay rise, three extra days
leave, the title of Office Manager and a free packet of Gypsy
Creams.
Meanwhile, Izzy tells Gary she's pregnant and he's
over the moon. I love these two, they're brilliant actors and
fabulous characters. Izzy's not right keen on telling dad Owen about
the baby news just yet because she knows what his reaction will be.
Owen's scared of course, scared that Izzy won't be able to cope with
a baby and being a blunt sort of bloke, he doesn't mince words when
he finally spits out his concerns to his daughter: "You've only been
back together five minutes and he's not long been off his
rocker!"
Anna's more understanding, as Anna always is, but
the baby news has blinded her to little Faye's distress. Faye's
being cyber-bullied, by text and online from a couple of nasty
little psycho-girls she's got the misfortune to be at school with.
On the cobbles, Sean's not doing himself any favours every
time he bumps into Marcus who's moved in across the street with
Maria and Liam. Sean tries to rise above the hurt and pain he's
feeling after Marcus left him last week but can't resist – and so
doesn't resist – having a dig at Marcus as often as he can. Oh Sean,
pull yourself together and have some self respect.
Elsewhere,
it's little Simon's birthday and while Carla means well, her
birthday tea of humus and olives doesn't go down with the lad as
well as Nick and Leanne's party in the Bistro with clowns and cake
does. There's some wonderful scenes of Peter's jealousy and torment
towards Nick, especially when Leanne tells him they're thinking of
moving and taking Simon with them. Peter gives Nick a good thumping
in the hostess trolley and Gail can't wait to express her utter and
total disgust at the thought of Nick and Leanne back together.
"Battersby's not a swear word, you know," Nick tells his
mum.
As Carla struggles to cope with Peter going off the
rails thinking he's going to lose Simon, she's got even more to
worry about when he brother Rob turns up. Now then, Rob's new, we've
not seen him before although there was a brother mentioned once but
his name wasn't Rob. Anyway, this Rob turns up as he's been freed
from prison so he's the soap bad lad and we'll see how it pans out.
He's not edgy, tall or old enough for this fan to crush on him but
there'll be Corrie fans out there who will.
Beth and Tracy
move out of No. 13 this week as Kev puts pressure on Steve to move
into his new house. He offers Steve the full asking price on
condition he can move in within 24 hours. It's too good an offer for
Steve to refuse and so the house is cleared but where will the girls
move to? Tracy finds a flat in Tile Street but when she rings up
about it, it's gone – to Beth and Craig, who're just moving in. Ken
finally gets his balls out of Deirdre's handbag and refuses to take
Tracy back into their home and so it's left to Emily to offer Tracy
and Amy the spare room at her house. Norris isn't best pleased to
have a serial killer under his roof and Tracy plays to his paranoia,
waving a very sharp knife around in the tea table, ensuring Norris'
nose is kept well and truly out of her trough.
And finally
this week, Roy and Mary cosy up in the cafe over chess as Hayley and
Norris take to the dance class again. Mary's friendship with Roy is
upsetting Hayley, you can tell, but Roy seems oblivious to the
attention Mary's giving him, for now
anyroad.
