|
Peggy thanks Roy for looking after the car lot while Frank has been urgently called away to Clare in Manchester. Jackie is in a terrible mood again with Gianni and he moans about her to Beppe. Beppe is wondering why Sandra hasn't called. Jackie comes in and apologises but Gianni seems fed up with her violent mood swings. They go for a drink and Jackie says she was going to take him out for a meal to apologise and she is suddenly annoyed when he says he's going out with Beppe tonight. Sonia feels ill and Martin and Asif come into the café and almost give the game away to Nicky about Martin. Phil visits Peggy and asks if she's OK. She asks what he's going to do about Lisa and he says he will try to talk to her. He goes into the café and she's reluctant to talk to him. He tells her that he's changed his mind and wants the baby. Sonia overhears their conversation. Sonia asks Ricky about Bianca when she was pregnant, and he says "not now" as he's musing about everyone being in Manchester. Mark asks Sonia if Martin is upset about Nicky, and he asks her to have a word with Martin to see if he's all right! Natalie says Sonia is looking pale, then takes her for a drink. Sonia goes into the toilet and bursts into tears and Natalie asks if she's pregnant. She says she's never late, and she was supposed to be the sensible one, but she's just like Carol and Bianca! Irene asks Rosa for a special recipe. Terry whinges to Melanie about her and she tells him not to be late for the special meal. Melanie mentions to Terry about needing a massage. Terry rushes back late and finds Irene with a bowl of vile yellow stuff, looking upset. They try to eat it but Irene tells him he doesn't have to eat it, and Terry suggests they go out for chips. Irene says she hasn't an appetite. Roy is pleased to hear from Dan that Frank will be in Manchester for quite a while. Janine is hanging around the bar and is fed up with cleaning ashtrays. Peggy tells her that she is giving her more responsibility since Frank is away. Janine phones up and replaces part of the order with vegetarian food! Dan says Melanie can go home early but Peggy is furious when she leaves, and she storms out and bumps into Terry, who tells her Peggy is probably jealous because she's young and attractive and the centre of attention! Melanie says she doesn't believe a word, but thanks, and kisses him on the cheek. Natalie finds Sonia crying in the bathroom and when Natalie comforts her and asks what's the matter Sonia tells her she might be pregnant. |
