IDRIS COMES CLEAN AS ALFIE DETERIORATES After waking up Alfie to find him struggling to breathe a panicked Abi phones Kevin who says he will drive them to A&E. Idris is concerned when he sees them carrying Alfie out of the flat. On hearing the news Carl races to the hospital and the consultant tells them he is going to run some tests but they want to keep Alfie ICU overnight . Meanwhile at the flat Idris and Brody are shocked when they discover the mould on the flat walls. Hearing that Alfie is in a bad way, Idris races to the hospital, what reception will he receive?

IDRIS BRINGS BRODY BACK TO THE DARK SIDE At the hospital, the doctor confirms that Alfie’s breathing difficulties are a direct result of the mould in his bedroom and that Abi should find somewhere new to live. Meanwhile Leanne and Alya point out to Idris that whoever he bought the flat from must have known about the damp and should be held to account. How will Idris deal with the problem? Abi is concerned to see Idris and Brody behaving strangely. Abi takes Sally to one side and warns her that she saw Brody forcing a bloke into the back of Idris’s car and they were obviously up to no good. When Brody gives her money towards the housekeeping Sally confides in Tim that Idris isn’t all that he seems and he’s leading Brody into bad ways.

WILL STRUGGLES WITH HIS GUILT In the café, Hope assures Will that although he’s the focus of school gossip, it’s only in a good way and everyone’s saying nice things about him. Aware that they were both victims of Megan, Daniel and Will agree to bury the hatchet.

WILL STRUGGLES WITH SAM Hope calls at the Rovers and tells Will she’s going to visit Sam after school and he’d be welcome to come too. Can Will summon the courage to go?

CASSIE’S DETERMINED TO PROVE HOW COMMITTED SHE IS In the Rovers, Tyrone and Fiz share a bottle of prosecco, but their romantic mood is ruined when Steve, Cassie and Tracy plonk themselves down uninvited.

Cassie tells Steve that she is fed up with Tracy trying to drive a wedge between them. Tyrone tells Cassie if she really loves Steve she will have to live with. Deciding the time has come to claim her man Casse makes a bold move and drops onto one knee in the cab office and proposes - how will Steve react?

WHAT SECRET IS CHRISTINA KEEPING? At No.11, George apologises profusely to Summer for ever suspecting her capable of murder and swears that he’ll make it up to her. As Christina goes to put the kettle on, her phone vibrates. Her face drops when she sees who it is and quickly kills the call.

When George suggests a romantic dinner at the bistro later, Christina turns him down, making out that she’s taken on another cleaning job. George is disappointed. But what is Christina really up to?

WILL MEGAN PAY FOR HER CRIMES? Ben takes a call informing him that the verdict is in. Eva gives him a supportive squeeze. In the court, the jury delivers their verdict. Has justice been served?

ALFIE HAS A MONSTER UNDER HIS BED In the café, Abi leaves a message for her landlord complaining about the damp in her flat telling Leanne that he never returns her calls and she doesn’t even know his name. In Speed Daal a huge bouquet arrives from Idris, when he arrives to apologise will she forgive him? Abi arrives at Speed Daal with her phone to her ear and when she hears Idris' phone ringing she realises she has finally tracked down her landlord. Later as Abi tucks a coughing Alfie up for the night we see the black mould behind his bed.

SAM REALISES HE’S IN THE BEST PLACE Sam apologises to Nick for overreacting and accepts that he only wanted the best for him and he knows he is in the best place.

ELSEWHERE At No.9, Cassie clocks Hope and Ruby engrossed in an email on Hope’s phone but when she tries to quiz them, they refuse to be drawn, and explain that it’s a surprise for Tyrone.

Episode Review - Friday 3 July 2026

Hello again. A Friday episode so I am back on duty. We tie up one long running story tonight in that Will told the truth in the last episode. The jury are taking time over their deliberations but before long we are all back in court for the verdict. Ollie keeps an eye on Will and his mental 'elf whilst waiting for the outcome. Inevitably having found her guilty on the lesser charge she is also found guilty of the more serious charge relating to being in a position of authority. Megan instantly loses it, proclaims her innocence and has to be removed from the court as she screams at all of the Driscoll family and then she has a go at her solicitor advocate, Adam, who obviously does not like his client very much. She will serve two thirds of her five year sentence which unlike a real court was handed down the same day.

Speed Dahl's suppliers are delivering poor veg but more importantly Leanne is not answering calls from Idris following his interference with her phone to prevent Sam getting hold of her. Last time round Alya warned Leanne off and now Alya is suggesting he needs a second chance, then she realises that Idris does not say sorry. Later Mary delivers flowers for Leanne and reckons she has the second best job in the world to which Alya asks what is the best job - Mary answers "Ben Shepherd's PA". The card merely says Idris. Leanne might text him in the next three hours. So apology accepted.

In Roy's Rolls, Abi lives at Flat Four, The Precinct, Peel Street, Weatherfield and it seems her landlord is giving her the runaround. She is on the phone for ninth time in two weeks and the flat is damp and has a weird smell. Leanne sympathises about poor landlords (she has probably had a few) and suggests withholding rent - but Abi {whom we have not seen for weeks} cannot afford to be homeless with Alfeh. There is a leak in the gully and it has been botched before but now needs repairing properly. She does not even know the landlord's name. Abi goes and passes Nick and Toyah as they come in. Leanne confirms she is going to see Sam and Nick asks if she will put in a good word for him. When she gets to Sam she does put in a word for Nick and calls Sam "mad" as in angry which he points out is not exactly the best word to use in a mental health unit. Sam forgives Nick and the lad accepts he is not better yet and needs to be properly better before he comes home. Leanne is accepting Idris's apology , then tells him about her three children. Idris's phone rings as Abi descends the stairs into Street Dahl. Idris does manage to apologise to Leanne and answers his phone to his very angry tenant who now knows who her scumbag landlord is.

Ty is having a difficult day so he and Fiz arrange Cassie to childsit and will have an evening in the pub. Ruby and Hope are up to no good - they are doing something on their phone intended to cheer up Ty so Cassie leaves them to it and joins Ty and Fiz in the Rovers. She will be back in time for Dorin at 7. No doubt the "good" thing they are doing will be capable of more than one interpretation. Maggie accuses Lauren of having a resting miserable face as I assume the normal term was not permitted. To be honest Lauren rarely seems to like working and I have no idea where she is living as I thought Abi took her flat.

We close in a very wet, mould infested flat where Alfie is coughing like a trooper smoking 500 a day and Abi is only just holding it together - this is more like a typical Manchester back street story and we already know the guilty party. I hope it shames all landlords into ensuring they do the right thing.

The schedules for next Friday are telling me that there will be an hour long episode so if right I will be back then. I think we are also near the end of the Sam story for now - the news that Megan was a proven liar has helped and he knows was is real now and when he is not in control so I am not sure there is much more of that story either.
