Rita and Dennis break up this week when Dennis falls for glad-eye Gloria. In an attempt to compete against rock-star Ritchie for Gloria’s affection and attention, Dennis slaps on the hair gel, slicks his hair back, throws on a black leather jacket and thinks he looks like the bees knees.  When Rita takes him to task about the way he’s acting over Gloria, he tells Rita (and I did a sharp intake of breath at this point), “She’s 10 years younger than you!”   Rita rightly chucks him out. Dennis spends the night on Gloria’s soft furnishings before Rita takes him back and the Tanners look like they might get back on track.  That is, until Gloria tells Rita where Dennis had spent the night and Rita knows that she can never trust Dennis so she chucks him again. She tells him she’ll pack up his stuff and leave it outside Gloria’s knocking shop.  “I can accept getting older, “ Rita tells Tina. “But not getting wiser? That’s depressing.”

Tracy’s having better luck with her love life when she and Rob get back together this week and he goes round for tea at Deirdre’s.  “Gran says you should be neutered,” Amy tells Rob over Deirdre’s tuna bake.

Carla heads off to Paris on a business trip this week, leaving Peter home alone in the flat just long enough for him to get Tina in for some sub-duvet shenanigans.  He then hops onto a plane to fly to Paris to be with his wife, telling Tina they’ll get together on his return and see how things go.  And she believes every word.

Elsewhere this week, Anna’s unnerved by the attention from Pat Phelan, especially when a Valentine’s card turns up and she knows it’s from him.  She hasn’t told Owen the extent that Phelan’s creeping her out with his touching and pheeling and flirting, although she does try, and fail.  Anna doesn’t want to say too much in case she jeopardises the building work at The Mill that Owen is doing for Phelan, so stays quiet, for now.

Emily told a fib this week, a big fib too. She told Marcus and Maria she couldn't babysit little Liam because she was looking after someone from church, called Walter White, who has a bad hip.  Instead, she told Rita, she was settling in for the night with a DVD Box Set of Breaking Bad which Geoffrey (Spider) had sent to her. Oh, Emily, you big fibber, you.

And finally this week, Roy’s still missing and I’m still worried.  A search party’s put together made up of Anna, Fiz, Kirk, Beth, Sinead and Chesney, who do their best looking for Roy in libraries and bookshops, but no Roy do they find. Not yet.

And that’s just about that for this week.

This week's writers were Martin Allen, Mark Burt, Susan Oudot, Jonathan Harvey, Carmel Morgan.
