EPISODE #80 IN FANFIC
Colleen steps forwards towards Chrissie
Colleen - Come on Latham, stop this now. You need to step down from there before you fall
Chrissie - Don't come any closer Powell, I mean it!
Down below a crowd of people has formed, looking and pointing up
The Laundry
The women are at work as Helen arrives in her civvies
Helen - Well Seeya eh gals!
Bea steps off the press and hugs Helen
Bea - I know I'm wasting my breath but try not to come back this time, will you?
Helen smiles
Helen - Well gee Bea, I'll try but can't promise anything. Occupational hazard you know
Bea - Don't you get tired of it all now?
Helen - I guess I do a bit...but what else could I do with myself?
Bea - Don't take this the wrong way love, but you're not getting any younger. Time to retire from the game maybe?
Helen laughs
Helen - Gee thanks Bea, you really know how to make a gal feel good about herself!
Bea manages a weak smile
Bea - There must be something else you could do that's all I mean
Helen- I know....listen are you ok sweetie? Seems like something is on your mind
Bea - I'm fine, you just worry about yourself and try to stay out this time, ok?
Vera arrives looking irate
Vera - There you are Smart! When I tell you to wait for me at the gate I expect you to do as you are told, not sneak off down here...anyone would think I had nothing better to do with my time than run around after you lot all day!
Helen - I only wanted to say goodbye to the gals Miss Bennett
Bea - Yeah, no harm in that is there Vera?
Vera (short-tempered) - Oh just get moving Smart, I haven't got all-day
Helen looks at Bea again with a warm smile
Helen - Bye
Bea - Bye love
Helen leaves the room with Vera. Shirley runs out of the laundry after them
Shirley - Miss Bennett please can I have a word with Helen?
Vera - No you can't harris, get back to the laundry before I put you on report
Shirley - Please Miss Bennett, it's important
Vera (snappy) - Oh Alright! Hurry up will you!
Shirley - Please can you do me a favour Hel?
Helen - Depends on what it is sweetie.
Shirley - Just visit Alicia for me, make sure my mother is looking after her, please?
Helen nods her head
Helen - Ok I can do that
Shirley hugs her
Shirley - Thanks Hel, I knew I could count on you. Here is the address
Vera rolls her eyes as Shirley takes a pen and notepad out of her pocket and begins to scribble down an address
Blackmoor
The women crowd around cheering as Janice and Kelly fight
Officers run in to break it up
Police and reporters have arrived below Chrissie's flat where the crowd now is even bigger
Up on the balcony Geoff glances over the edge
Geoff - Got an audience now I see Latham, just what you wanted I expect?
Chrissie - What ya bleeding on about?
Geoff - Well this is all attention-seeking isn't it?
Chrissie - You're talking crap, I never wanted an audience
Geoff - Didn't you?
Chrissie - Of course not, all I wanted was to keep my baby
Geoff - She's not your baby
Chrissie - To me she is mine, I love her like she was my own child
Geoff - You love her so much you're prepared to kill her?
Chrissie - If it means we don't get separated then yeah
Geoff - Selfish Latham, you're selfish and you know it
Chrissie - just go away, will you?
Geoff - And leave you alone with this poor child? No way...
Colleen looks agitated
Colleen - Geoff, I think maybe I should try talking to Chrissie.
Geoff - You already tried, it hardly helped
Colleen - I hardly see how baiting her will help either
Geoff - I am telling her the truth that's all, I see no point in mollycoddling her
There is a loud urgent knock at the front door
Colleen - That will be the police
Geoff - You'd better let them in then hadn't you, I'll stay here with Latham
Colleen turns to go as Chrissie looks at her
Chrissie - No Mrs Powell, please don't let them in
Colleen - I have to, you must be able to see that now?
Geoff - Mrs Powell's right, she has to let them in now, they aren't going to go away
Colleen slips away leaving Geoff and Chrissie alone
Geoff - Why don't you hand the baby to me Latham and step down now? It will do you a lot of favours if you don't waste the polices time here
Chrissie (aggressive) - Bugger the pigs! Why should I do them any favours? When have they ever done me any?
