When some people go on holiday overseas they bring back a stuffed donkey. Kylie’s no exception and returns with Dmitri in tow from Ayia Napa. He doesn’t speak any English but irons like a demon and wears a shower-cap well. Kylie spends her time back on home turf getting her stuff together to return to Cyprus for good, taking little Max with her. Becky collapses on the cobbles and begs her sister to let little Max stay but Kylie’s a hard faced cow and demands twenty grand cash in exchange for her son. Becky went into meltdown, smashed a few things in the back room of the pub and went manic when she thought she’d never have a child of her own. Give her a kid though, and with Becky, it’d be summat else she’d decide she can’t live without. Steve decides to raise the cash against the pub and Streetcars so that Becky can play happy families with her nephew. But if they really wanted the best for little Max and to prove that Kylie really is an unfit mother, all they had to do was pick up the phone and call social services. Would’ve cost a lot less than twenty grand, even for a peak-time call. Eventually and predictably Kylie gets her money and Becky gets the kid.
Over at the Peacock’s, Claire’s gone all ooh-la-la in an attempt to get Ashley to get in the mood for moving to France. She sits him down to dinner but he’s not impressed. “French food, French wine, I’m surpised we haven’t got Edna Piaf playing on the stereo.” I love that Edna Piaf, me. Je ne regret nowt chuck. Anyway, the stress of Claire harping on at him to move away to France brings on chest pains in Ashley and he’s rushed to t’hospital where the doctor tells him he’s not having a heart attack, he’s got indigestion. Must be all the French food, French wine. But that’s not what Ashley tells Claire, he just doesn’t say much when Claire assumes Ashley’s got angina. Ashley puts his indigestion pills into a tablet box in the cupboard and Josh feeds little Freddie some of the pills while they’re playing. Of course, this sets Claire off again and a sheepish Ashley has to confess that’s nowt wrong with his chest, but he still doesn’t want to move to la France.
At the factory, another wreath is left on the Underworld steps. This time it’s a wreath in the shape of the letter C. The girls assume it’s for Carla from Tony Gordon, beyond the grave. But when John finds out about the flowers, he’s shaking in his boots because he knows what the C’s for - and he’s been a stupid one too. When he receives a letter in the post with letters cut out of a newspaper spelling out the sentence: I Know What You Did, he Knows Who Sent It and tracks down loopy Charlotte. She denies she’s the ones sending the flowers or the cut-out and paste letters and even says she’s received one of the letters herself, trying to pin the blame on Fiz who’s just had her 20 week baby scan.
Meanwhile at the Rovers, Ciaran leaves his job behind the bar to work for Nick in the new place. He’s planning Lancashire tapas with mini hot-pots on the menu and searches through Betty’s recipe book for inspiration. Ooh, she’ll not be happy when she finds out. And Liz wasn’t best pleased when Ciaran handed his notice in at the pub either. In fact she was so put out, she barred him from the bar resulting in Michelle walking out in solidarity after calling Liz a tart. Kettle? Pot? Michelle plans to take up a new job working as Carla’s PA in the knicker factory.
And finally this week, Molly says NA to a DNA test that Kev wants to prove whether he’s the father of baby Jack Dobbs.
And that's just about that for this week.
Coronation Street writers this week were John Kerr, Debbie Oates, David Lane and Peter Whalley.
