Summary[]

Phil is left holding the babies, with a little help from Grant. Ricky is unsettled by Frank's belongings being moved out and Pat is thrown off balance by an unexpected letter. Meanwhile it's drinks all round as Ted and Roy celebrate their move into the Square.


Ted, Tony and Sarah were invited by Kathy to move into her house, although Phil first heard about it in the Vic when Ted thanked him, and wasn't too keen on the idea. Anyway, it was a fait accompli, so he couldn't refuse. Across the Square, Roy is moving in to Pat's. David is putting furniture from Pat's into the street for the tip, and Ricky is very upset by it, especially when Frank's favourite chair is thrown out. However, Pat goes to talk to him and he calms down a bit and wishes her the best of luck with Roy. Diane phones from France and Pat asks how little Jacques is. Pat suggests that Ricky phone Diane so he does and she invites him over there. He is dubious, but Pat says to ask Phil for time off, and Phil is feeling generous and gives Ricky an "early Christmas bonus" so he can afford to go. Ricky tells Bianca who says that Paris is supposed to be the most romantic city in the world. Ricky says crossly that he isn't going for that. Bianca is obviously disappointed at not being invited.

Kathy and Phil are all set to go shopping, when Ian phones his mother up and whines that the twins are ill and the nursery won't let them in, so asks if she can look after them as he's interviewing for the shop. Kathy is very reluctant, but Ian practically insists, and brings them round. Then he tells her that it's not just for the morning but all day. She's not pleased, but Phil says he will look after them. Kathy is amazed but Phil insists that it'll be a piece of cake.

Ian interviews Lydia, the girl who Della had helping her in the hairdressers. Lydia chats away to Ian throughout the interview, saying that she's ideal for the job. Ian barely manages to get a word in, but finally says thank you very much, he has lots of other people to see so he will let her know. Lydia insists that he tells her if she has the job there and then, so he says no. Lydia is annoyed.

Ted has had a haircut from Felix and pops in to ask if he's going over the Vic, saying he should get his name known for some trade. Felix refuses. Sarah sees Robbie again and he has a can of dog food. Robbie then decides that Wellard will have to be vegetarian too, to please Sarah. He tells Mark in the Vic and Mark laughs at him and asks if Wellard knows about this.

Arthur is being asked about the Flowering Wilderness money all the time and he keeps evading the issue. He goes to see Willy, whose mother is totally senile and he has to look after her. They chat a bit worrying about the money.

Gita is very busy on the stall and Steve walks by and says she needs an assistant. Steve then sees Lydia sulking after her interview and asks how she is. She says she just failed to get a job in the chippy. Steve says he may be able to help her, and asks her to come to the Vic later. He gets Gita to come and give her an interview, and Gita offers her a one month trial period.

Roy invites Pat to the Vic, but she says she wants to finish tidying up the house as she wants a housewarming on Thursday, and he has to invite people. She and Janine polish things after the move. Roy buys David and Barry a drink, and they and Ted and Kathy and everyone drink to the various new residents. Roy invites everyone to their house on Thursday. Pat puts Janine to bed and sits down to look at the mail, and gets a letter from Bristol which shocks her.
