Monday's theme was hangovers - Ryan and Abi were both suffering. Here Moira has just advised Mrs Mac that solutions to the problems of the heart cannot be found at the bottom of a bottle of red wine; she looks at Liz's face and decides that a bottle should be delivered rapidly! Prediction - Liz has a hangover tomorrow!
Flora is not as batty as she would like you to think - she can twist Chanel and Daniel round her little finger and they don't even realise! She is using her persuasive powers to get a decent number to go to Harvey's funeral and tells Beth that the two youngsters love each other. You can judge for yourself what Beth thinks of that! And I rather think that Harvey's money belongs to those ripped off in the flats scheme!
I think this will be the understatement of the week as Flora observes how good Harvey / Vinny was. Tracy has just found out about £0.25m Flora has inherited and says she was very close to Harvey. Oddly I cannot recall them ever having a conversation!
Tuesday writer's fetish was packed lunches. Seb delivered one for Abi and then Sarah delivered one for Gary!
Flora has asked those at the wake how they will remember Harvey. Rita reminds them he ripped her off for £15k, but Mary remembers the orphans! Apparently Harvey kept digging when they were stuck down a mine. Not sure who is most daffy - Flora or Mary! And the subtitler has dyslexic fingers!
Back story: Steve kissed Michelle on her non-wedding day. Daniel told Tracy. Tracy dumped Steve without letting him argue the toss (he was a bit wrapped up at the time). Steve goes to Preston's Petals to apologise. Tracy is unrelenting until Mary (bless her cotton socks) tells her to behave - because Mary knows that Tracy does love Steve and he has already said the sex is good!
Having heard that Mary is willing to take Steve back off the shelf Tracy relents - but is in her best form when telling Steve he has a lot still to do! Neither of them had realised how deep their feelings were for each other.
Friday opened with Jenny and Johnny walking the original set as they brought us up to date with the focus switching to Tyler and Simon, then Robert and Michelle, followed by Craig and Kayla as they walked the set extension. There was even a customer entering the Co-op opposite the memorial garden when we rejoined Tyler and Simon. It was clever work as they effectively marked the end of the Kate Oates era with a record of her prime achievement outside the pure storylines of the Street.
Then within 10 seconds a mobile rings for Rita, Ken receives a text and Cathy and Brian are taking a selfie. So beautifully juxtaposed!
And finally "extras at work"!
At the start of Friday a sign was erected announcing that the Rovers was up for sale. So house removal needed for Toyah, Leanne, Eva and Susie. (Peter and Simon have already moved into number 1 where Tracy and Amy have moved into the flat above StreetCars and Tracy would rather like Liz to move out; also on the move are the re-united Beth and Kirk (and Peanut) into Aidan's old flat above the kebab shop courtesy of Carla (still sharing with Roy). Sean is homeless and I have a feeling there are not many empty places around the Street at the moment.
