Wicked Witch (Part 1 of 4)
Albert Square. It’s morning time, the market is up and running and the minute mart has just been opened. Pat walks through the square laughing with Denise.
The Slaters house: Stacey is the only one in the house, she is laying in bed with Max, Max runs his fingers through her hair.
Max: I should be gettin’ back
Stacey: Im sure Tanya can wait another hour or so for ya?
Max: Stace I’d love to but it was bad enough lying to her about being away on business
Stacey: But the havin’ an affair don’t matter?
Max: Stacey we’ve got summin’ special you know that don’t yer?
Stacey: Well I wouldn’t call it special, the longest ive had ya to meselfs been one bleedin’ night! Were hardly Romeo and Juliet now are we?
Max: We are… in a way
Stacey: Explain….
Max: Well two passionate lovers… forbidden to be together, but constantly shacked away loving one another
Stacey: And look what happened they ended up killin’ ‘emselves!
Max: Well that aint gonna happen with us is it? Unless your plannin’ on bumpin’ me off
Stacey: No but im sure your wife would if she found out, ‘n’ she’d be after me!
Max: Well Tanya aint gonna know is she?
Stacey: … So there's no plan of you ‘n’ ‘er endin’
Max: … I should be off
Max gets up and gets changed. Stacey shakes her head and ignores him as he kisses her goodbye. She gets changed herself and looks out the window. Bradley is talking to Preeti and Phil has just opened the vic.
The Queen Vic. Peggy is sat in the living room with Ben, she hands him a gold watch
Peggy: Now that I tell yer was yer Grandfathers, carried it bleedin’ everywhere he did. It was given to ‘im by ‘is father on ‘is 16th Birthday. ‘is father was given it in the army
Ben: And you want me to ‘ave it?
Peggy: Yeah course I do. I could never trust ya father or Uncle Grant with it as they were always in ‘n’ out o’ bleedin’ trouble! Ya Grandad always said he wanted it passed down through the men of the family, ‘n’ seeing as your so grown-up and responsible I thought you deserved it
Ben: (in awe) Its great Gran… Thank you (he hugs Peggy tightly) I’ll look after it forever and when im grown up I can give it to my kids
Peggy: Too right darlin’… Just keep ‘old of it and don’t loose it eh?
Ben: I won’t Gran… I promise
Phil and Stella enter
Ben: Dad look…(he shows Phil the watch)
Phil: Ey Dad’s watch
Peggy: Yeah I though it was time it got handed down to the next Mitchell
Ben: Gran said you or Uncle Grant couldn’t be trusted
Stella: That doesn’t surprise me (the adults laugh). That’s a very special present Ben, are you pleased
Ben nods and goes into his room and puts the watch into his special drawer
Peggy: Wedding plans still in tact?
Phil: Course
Peggy: Good, what I like to hear… Now you two, ‘ow about us three go out for a nice slap up meal… My treat
Phil: Yeah, sounds good
Stella: Ohhh I’d love to but I’ve got a tonne of paper work to do
Peggy: Oh no!
Stella: I know… sorry
Phil: Well me ‘n’ you can still go out Mum?
Peggy: Yeah why not (Stella looks displeased)
Stella: … Well why don’t I look after Ben?
Phil: Do you mind?
Stella: Course I don’t
Peggy: We’ll that’s settled then!
Max and Tanya’s house; Stacey is sat at the table in the Kitchen holding the key she took from Max’s pocket. Max and Tanya arrive home giggling; they go into the living room. Tanya looks lovingly at Max
Tanya: Max…
Max: You alright Tan?
Tanya: Listen, I've been thinkin’
Max: That could be dangerous (laughing)
Tanya: No seriously, I've mentioned it to the girls and they’re ‘appy to go ahead with it. Why don’t we sell up, move to Spain like we always said, live our dream
Max:… What just pack up and leave?
Tanya: Why not? What else is there ‘ere?
Max: Dot and Jim?
Tanya: We’d keep in touch
Max: Spose there's nothin’ else important worth stayin’ for
Tanya: Exactly
The pair begin kissing when the living room door is flung open by Stacey. The pair pull apart
Tanya: Stacey!? What… What are you doin’ ‘ere
Stacey: Well I came round to drop this off (hands Max a key) Must’ve dropped it on ya way home
Max: Ta
Tanya: I tell ya ‘e’d forget his ‘ead if it weren’t screwed on
Stacey: And this (puts down a packet of condoms) Left ‘em… In my bedroom
Tanya looks between Max and Stacey, her eyes fill with tears as she looks at solidly at Max
Tanya: …what…
Evening. Ben goes into his room and looks for his watch, he cannot find it. He looks frantically around. The door closes firmly. Stella is stood there with arms folded
Stella: You OK Ben? You look a bit…worried
Ben: I’ve lost it…
Stella: Lost what?
Ben: Grandad’s watch!
Stella: Well you Gran’s not going to be very happy about that is she?... In fact she’s going to be fuming. She probably wont want to know you after she finds out that you lost your Grandad’s watch on purpose… So vindictively!
Ben: (confused) what…
Stella: Well I mean she’ll be heartbroken at what you’ve done! Deliberately loosing that watch after she trusted you! She’ll probably want you out of the Vic, in fact she definitely will! She’ll disown you AND your Dad! You ‘n’ your Dad will be living on the streets, no family. It’ll tear your Dad apart; he’ll probably disown you himself then, put you up for adoption… if you’re lucky! I mean I’d help stop her but I can’t
Ben:… What do you mean?
Stella: Well the only way I’d be able to help you was if I lived here officially
Ben: You do… you live with Dad
Stella: Only hypothetically. I keep hinting at your Gran to give me some form of ownership but… No luck… Oh well never mind eh… I guess you’ll be out of here soon anyway when your Gran finds out what an awful retched little grandson you are!
Ben cries as Stella smirks
Stella: I tell you what Ben… I’ll help you cover up your nasty little trick if you persuade your Gran that you think I should get some ownership… But don’t make it too obvious… Otherwise she’ll know what your up to and STILL hate you
Ben: (crying; he nods)
Stella: Deal?
Ben: (quivering) Deal
Stella puts her hand out for Ben to shake, he does the same. When she shakes it she forcefully squeezes his hand hurting him.
Stella: Now go and get into bed and I’ll make you a nice milky drink
Ben exits crying and rushes to his room. Stella smiles as she takes the watch out of her pocket, she laughs and places it back in her pocket
