she opened the envelope and found a letter and a copy of a will, it read, to the family of Audrey Roberts, to her children I leave the contents of my home the address is over leaf, to their children I leave £500
wow Gail was gobsmacked, she ran or rather hobbled over to her mums",who is this person "she said

oh er.... said Audrey..it must me your father. Gail was shocked, she never knew she had a Dad. She had lots of uncles when she was growing up but never a Dad!

Gail turned over the letter the address was 2 Rosamand Street, oh my god, just around the corner. Her real father had been there all this time and she never knew. He must have been watching her and her brood getting up to all sorts over the years.

Gail turned to her mother, 'Mother you are a good for nothing old tart, with a very odd accent and an equally odd hairstyle. Why dd you never tell me about him?

Audrey looked witsfully into the past......

Gail's father had a wife, and Jack Duckworth had been playing away with her on his windowcleaning round.......Vera had followed him and discovered his liaison, and told her husband......

.....two can play at that game he thought, and caught sight of Audrey with her beehive hairdo and false eyelashed.......hmmmm.....

"Oh no!" screamed Gail, 'I don't believe it-I won't believe it". Then she remembered she rather liked pigeon pie..........

......but then, JD didn't live in Rosamund Street, what a relief. 'Gail, I know you're upset lovey, but if you sit down for a minute, I'll make us a nice pot of tea and talk it over, you fetch the Digestives..........

so there we have it - Jack Duckworth's love child - in that case Terry is her brother - how lovely - perhaps that's where David's genes come into play she thought. Now Gail had always fancied herself a cut above the rest of the street, as did her mother in spite of the fact that she had such a peculiar accent - what would people thunk when they discovered she was in fact Gail Duckworth - didn't bear thinking about. She decided to keep quiet about it for a while in order to come up with a stratgegy. She also wondered if Jack was aware he was David's grandfather - the shock could kill him stone dead. Meanwhile David was languishing in his cell unware of recent revelations and he began to plan

his strategy with his mother during her visits and hence to his finally coming home - Nicky is in Canada, dear sister and her child in Italy - the road is clear for a devious backstabbing demon so

he decided to find all he could about various ways to make Gails life miserable,(other than having him for a son) he made friends with a guy who was well known as the Fixer....meanwhile back at the kebab shop, Seans mate was trying to warn him offf going away with

any body he new,as he was at a very vounarble stage of his life,and so much had happened already in the last six months he didnt need any more confusions in his life write now,nor did any of his friends or family want to have to try and pick him up from the bottom of another huge heap of what every he would get into this time,whether it be to do with another relationship triangle or

, indeed, he may turn over a new leaf. But, that's enough of this dream.

Reality of everyday life on the street sets in. Streetcars are seen on the move for once. Sally looks younger than her daughters these days - botox perhaps or maybe not!

Meanwhile, the smoking 'lounge' at the Rovers caught fire on it's opening day & screams were heard coming from the cellar. Does anyone remember where the celler entrance is? Next to the gents, perhaps!

Well, you wouldn't believe it if I told you that ....

no-one else had remembered either since the renovations. The screams coming from the cellar indicated this. Someone had .......

mistakenly assumed that the cellar was a good place to have a drag among the creates of beer but, strangely enough, illicit goings-on are usually limited to that other unmentionable 'soap'.

Talking about soap, when was the last time anyone was seen washing their ....

smalls or even their bedding,you never hear about anyone doing h*******k (ugh that word..).there is also the riddle of why do they all live in one room when we know they have front rooms , we never see inside that room, all sorts of things could be in them, mmm
very interesting..........

well Gail is the only one to be seen at a washing line - but then that is the only chance she has of getting fresh air or will she get plenty now that her demon child is going to get locked up - will she or won't she go to Italy for a holiday - what will Sarah-Louise say to her mother now that David has shown his true colours - will Gail admit to her that David pushed her downstairs or

are we really that bothered if he did?

Never mind - she looks fine now & will be looking for some disability living allowance shortly. Furthermore, Audrey will be seeking a replacement for young dave - someone has to sweep the floor every time Rita has a hair 'do'.

Nobody wears hair nets like Mini Caldwell used to do - but, things that go around sometimes .....

do come round again and to this end Rita started stocking hair nets in The Kabin again. First person asking for them surprisingly was Carla - now who'd have thought she would want to wear a hair net, but hang on a minute, she wasn't going to wear it, she was intending to

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Oh no, surely not!, Ena Sharples would be devastated!

Go pond dipping with her new nephew Alex. (or is it her nephew, now that Paul is no longer here) Anyway, Carla decided to have a bonding session with this strange child. She cold see some devious ways in him that she needed to use.

Down at the duck pond she turned to Alex and said, 'I need you to keep an eye on Tony and report back to me and I'll give you £20 a week.' Carla knew Tony had been lying about his whereabouts lately, and this was the onlyway she could find out.

So Alex started his stalking of Tony but was in for a nasty shock when he saw him meet.....

Ashley behind some trees on the Red Rec!!! Who would know that Ashley was gay or Tony for that matter - come to think of it, Ashley did have a strange high pitched voice. Alex hot footed it back to Carla but then decided not to let on yet as £20 a week was too good to pass up on. Also, a bit of blackmail might get him some more cash so to this end he
