Good news for the factory workers - £100 bonus this Christmas. Maddie is anxious that she might not get it as she has not worked there for a year yet. Alya shows great wisdom. Maddie thinks she'll ask Sally but Alya says not to 'put that idea in her head.'
Tracy's anger is building. She hears about the bonuses at the factory and the spa day planned for Carla and Michelle and she sees red. Maddie's comment enrages Tracy further. 'Cool lady, Carla - pulling out all the stops.'
Tracy comments, Cool? More like a block of ice, if you ask me.' Liz also angers Tracy further by saying how much Carla has lost, but is working hard to make things better. Liz tells Tracy to do us all a favour and grow up.
When a character in a soap bemoans their lonely state, we know it will not be long before love comes calling. Having met Antony Cotton and posted on this blog that he will meet a vicar called Billy, we know what is just a around the corner on the Underworld night out.
Tony is very persistent in his attempts to take over Tracy's business. Once more she gives him short shrift. Maybe, in a desperate attempt to be solvent she will give in to his demands. Remember the advertisement over the summer, where Liz becomes Tracy in the mirror's reflection?
'Business booming, I see,' says Tony sarcastically as he walks into Barlow's Buys. Tracy rebuffs him again. He says to Liz, 'Six months and her company will be mine.' Liz is anxious about it - as well she might be...
Some madness going on in the gym and Kal sorts it out pretty swiftly. The look that the gym idiot gives Kal is worrying. Will he see him again? Might there be repercussions?
Tracy storms out of the bistro to which Ken has taken her to cheer her up. Carla is there and while Carla decides she is not going to let Tracy spoil her evening, Tracy cannot bear it. After a swig of 'vinegar' or what Nick would call wine, she leaves. 'Food on top of that - think I'll throw up.'
Ken tries so hard to appease her but Tracy can only see a hopeless future. She has sold Rob's stuff, and her wedding presents but still business is bad despite the time of year. Tracy's resentment anger and jealousy are all caused by Carla, the woman who Tracy feels has ruined her life. 'She destroyed Rob, she destroyed Peter and now she's destroying me.'
