- Lloyd "Eileen's a big girl" Steve "Don't say that to her face"
- Eileen "I'm not the scarlett woman type"
- Eileen again, to Pat "Ey, get yer nuts out!"
- Lloyd to Eileen "Did you say you dumped him or you jumped him?"
- Gail to Sarah and Jason about their wedding "You've talked about it before. It's doing it you struggle with"
Everyone's coming and going this week it seems. Sarah and Jason are back from Greece and engaged and not pregnant. Liz is back (but where did she go?, i missed that while i was away), Liam is back but Michelle is still gone somewhere. Joanne is back and Steve is gone to Spain to see Andy.
Most of the lines of the week were between Eileen and Lloyd but they just had the best ones! It all came out of Eileen's fling with that awful Pat. Steve and Lloyd play private detective like two little kids and determine that Pat is married but Eileen already knows. 
The local neighbourhood watch reports them for smoking in their place of work and threatens to call their bosses. Hah. Pat's married but he had to ring the doorbell of one woman which probably means he's got a string of them. Eileen didn't mind looking the other way when nobody else knew about the wife but once it was out in the open, she started to sour. Mind you, that was the nicest dumping of a bloke i've ever seen. I don't know if they'll keep on but probably she'll push him away shortly. A married man is a no-win situation as a rule.
Violet and Sean are also like two little kids with a secret. But you know, th is baby making project between them is all just a bit TMI don't you think? It's only been a few days and Sean is already being pushy in his over excitement. On top of that, when he voiced doubts about their friendship suffering, Violet uttered the classic SOPOD saying they'll always be good friends or words to that effect. That all doesn't bode well for the future.
Carla is as tough a boss as Mike Baldwin used to be, maybe tougher. She sure can find ways of getting what she wants as Hayley the new Line Manager found out. Sally's nose is right out of joint too and Rosie getting the Personal Assistant job that Sally wanted is really going to add to her angst. She's seeing her life going nowhere (yeah, Sal, change the record) and wonders why she ended up where she is. She keeps saying stuff like that to Kevin. If i were him i'd be well sick of it by now. Anyway back to Carla, it seems like she's all that upset that Steve's staff like him but hers don't like her one bit. I don't think she likes her staff so it's all good i guess. Once Liam came back, there were sparks and the two of them aren't going to work easy together. I am of course trying to ignore how Carla was able to suddenly just up and walk into a factory and have all the legal signing abilities on the bank accounts and be able to place orders and pay the staff when she's only inherited the factory a couple of weeks ago and had no intentions of running the place so the legalese wouldn't even have been attempted let alone finished. It was a bit irresponsible of Carla to buy them all a round of drinks (which would have been at least their second drink) and then tell them to be back at the factory and their machines after dinner to finish the Sunday shift. I think Liam and Carla are going to be at each other's throats but then again, hate is a short hop from lust. I don't think they ever really liked each other much so if there *is* lust around the corner, it is bound to be purely physical rebounding stuff.
Rosie's voice was suffering a cold it seemed. How do you think Leanne will do with the restaurant? The neighbours certainly don't think she's up to the task but they might think Leanne's a slag and they might think the restaurant is going to fail, but they're all going to go for free food, aren't they! Tyrone and Molly are finding it difficult looking for a flat and finding it even harder looking after Number 9 with both Jack and Vera laid up. She only twisted her ankle and that was at least a month ago. Longest healing bones i've ever seen. About time one or two of the usually do-gooders in the neighbourhood pop in to help out. Cilla seems to be at a loose end with no Les to bounce off. I still want to see Cilla and Janice in a knock down drag out on the cobbles. All they've every really done was have shouting matches and light scuffling for the most part. This campaign to win customers away from Jerry's really isn't worthy of her.
I am remembering how much i really dislike Dreary Derek, Liz's very passive aggressive jerk of a lover. Side tracking her at the bus station and tempting her to the flat and an afternoon of delight when Vernon is waiting for her? Then she's stuck out on the balcony in a towel with her clothes in her hand and then she gets home and he's got her suitcase in his car. Meanwhile Vernon is buying flowers and watching them wilt. She did say she wanted a bit of excitement. Liz even had to make up lies about where here suitcase was. She's very good at it, isn't she? So she's finished with dreary Derek. About time. Now... will it stick? And if it does, will Derek tell Vernon to get revenge or will his wife spill the beans?
