Episode 2287 (2nd March 1983)

Plot
Hilda is upset to discover Stan was frightened of her and borrowed money to give her housekeeping. She is touched when he tells her how he can't climb ladders in the bad weather. Annie makes Bet help Alf out at the shop and takes Suzie back on at the Rovers. Bet is furious. Eddie realises something is troubling the Ogdens. Stan tells Syd Kippax he can't repay him at the moment and asks for more time. Eddie finds Kippax at No.13 and throws him out, telling Stan he's stupid to have borrowed money from someone like him. Hilda wants to ask Trevor for the money but Stan refuses to borrow from him or Eddie. Bet gets revenge on Annie for letting her walk in on Alf whilst he's in the nude as he changes his pyjamas in the back room of the shop. Hilda asks Mike to re-employ her at the factory. He refuses as the girls would object. Eddie buys Stan's window round for £185 and tells him he's now employed. The Ogdens are thrilled.
