PlotEdit

Elsie is furious when she sees the Gazette. Vera is pleased to be a finalist in the Glamorous Grannie contest. Elsie tells the girls she's sick of them interfering in her life. Ted Brownlow sees Elsie's picture in the Gazette and arranges a date with her; he realises what he's missing. They agree to put the past behind them. Ernie is given the job of organising the Street's Silver Jubilee float. Hilda runs up curtains at Baldwin's late at night. Elaine Dennett calls on Elsie and says she wants to talk about Alan Howard.
