Vicky’s huge and captivating
[Roy] “She's pretty big now. Huge. She sort of suits it, though ... and Phoebe's really captivated by it all.”
Wheelie Bins are Council responsibility
So Brenda tells a “stupid” tenant.
Steady on Brenda.
As a marketer, you should know how important it is to build good customer relations.
Brenda’s back to making coffee
With Matt away, Lilian’s determined to get back into running her business. She reckons she’s left Brenda to cope alone long enough.
With Lilian back at the helm, Brenda’s immediately despatched to make coffee. Which Brenda will likely moan about just as much as when she was in charge.
Who knocked a post down?
Somebody did, at The Bull.
Though no-one seems concerned about it, so would seem it doesn’t matter.
Odd.
It doesn’t take much to excite Sabrina Thwaite
Seems she and her friends are very excited indeed about the forthcoming fashion show at the Bull.
[Lilian] “The yummy mummies, yes I can imagine.”
Arthur died, Matt didn’t tell Lilian
It fell to Brenda to mention it in passing.
Seems it happened a couple of weeks ago. Brenda was only talking about it as Joyce can’t stand to live in her and Arthur’s house anymore, so is moving into the flat Matt had been harassing them about.
So, Matt gets exactly what he wants.
[Brenda] “I would have thought he’d have mentioned it.”
[Lilian] “So would I!”
So, rather than go to The Bull’s fashion show, Lilian lies in wait for Matt.
When he gets in, he doesn’t start well:
[Matt] “Dinner ready?”
Then, when confronted by Lilian about Arthur, Matt claims he’s positive he told her. In fact, Matt blames Lilian for forgetting due to the “stress” of having James and Leonie around.
[Matt] “You shouldn’t beat yourself up about it.”
Oh Matt, you’re playing a dangerous game there …
Lilian’s adamant Matt didn’t tell her about Arthur. Because he didn’t. Matt would have been too focused on getting Joyce out of the bigger house, into the flat.
Lilian’s obviously upset. She’d spent a lot of time with Arthur when Joyce was in hospital. She would have wanted to go to Arthur’s funeral.
And, of course, she thinks Matt’s treatment of Arthur and Joyce led both to Joyce being hospitalised, and now Arthur dying.
Matt blames social services, and Arthur himself (!) for being stubborn.
[Matt] “The silver lining, at least Joyce can make a fresh start.”
[Lilian] “Oh you smug bastard. This is exactly what you wanted … that poor man’s death should be on your conscience. I don’t know how you can sleep at night,. And if you want some dinner, get it yourself!”
Oh Paul … it’s an open goal at the moment!
Lilian slips up
During their argument, Lilian tries to back her side up by saying that even Darrell didn’t know about Arthur dying.
[Matt] “How do you know he doesn’t know?”
Oops.
Better get better at lying, Lilian.
The Bull’s Fashion Show
The Bull is very busy for its inaugural fashion show.
But. The woman (someone called Leanne) who was supposed to compare has got ‘food poisoning’:
[Kenton] “That’s what she’s calling it.”
Quite right Kenton. ‘Food poisoning’ is always a rubbish excuse.
Anyhoo, Kenton steps up (again), to MC (again) and take the limelight (again).
[Kenton] “What I know about fashion, you could write on the back of a sequin.”
Kenton has the script for the show, so (technically) the audience didn’t have to suffer his quips all night.
But since when has Kenton ever stuck to the script?
[Kenton] “Ladies and … is that Jazzer at the back?”
Yes it was.
Since when has Jazzer passed up a chance to be in a room full of ladies?
Anyhoo, Kenton was very witty, and everyone had a fab night.
[Brenda] “Even Hilary Noakes is smiling!”
Blimey!
