|
Nellie bothers Arthur, as she continues to talk relentlessly about her missing pension money. Ricky is released following questioning and heads straight to the Vic. Carol is angry with Pauline for slagging her off. Ricky wakes the next morning feeling more positive. Pauline arrives for her morning shift at the launderette, and plans to give Carol a piece of her mind. David asks Sharon if Pat can have a pay rise for all the hours she puts in. Grant suppresses the idea immediately. Alan overhears Nellie complaining to Arthur about her missing money and gives her £20, confessing it was him and Carol who took the money, and he promises to pay the rest back when he can. Nellie expresses sympathy for Alan for using the money on his family. Mark suggests a family party to Arthur to celebrate Michelle finishing her exams. Michelle learns of the party and invites Geoff along. Sanjay and Gita work through the accounts books together. The phone rings, and Gita answers - it is Meena, and she begs Gita to acknowledge her existence but Gita hangs up. Della's patience with Steve wears thin when he asks her to return to the hairdressers after her shift to cut another customer's hair. She tells him that she has a date and leaves. Ricky collects the repayments of all Ian's customers, except Pat. Grant confronts Pat over David's request and advises that she has a quiet word with him to put him right. The Fowlers get together at Number 55 for Michelle's party; Geoff arrives, and Michelle introduces him to everyone as her boyfriend, leaving Pauline and Arthur speechless. |
