Rita feels ill after a night out with a man named Rex from London but is due to go out again and invites Bet to go with him instead of a blind date at a posh do at a new motel. The Kabin paper deliveries are wrong and Hilda complains she has been sent a physical culture magazine. Tricia basks in her success after the panto and is happy that she can keep her costume. Rita tries to bring her down to earth with stories about the rough times of her own show business career. Through Alf, a small lad asks Tricia for her autograph. Annie lends Bet a mink stole. Annie is pleased to get a phone call from Concepta Regan saying she's at Manchester Airport and is invited to stay, nevertheless she wonders why she's coming. Bet also worries that the visit means trouble about Sean Regan. The Weatherfield Gazette hails Tricia as a rising star in its review which Ken reads out in the Rovers though it also mentions Bet's miming.
