It’s Hallowe’en week on Corrie and there’s a little horror in the shape of Faye’s friend Grace. She’s one of those kids who spots the weakness in others and winds them up summat rotten. First she causes a ruckus in Roy’s Rolls when she nicks money from the counter and has Anna blaming Sally blaming Anna for losing the money, while Grace has it all along. She puts it back with a smile and everyone’s grateful to her for spotting it. Then she gets Faye to change the date of her Hallowe’en party and it’s a conversation that Owen overhears, so he now knows how manipulative and mean Grace is and how much she’s pulling Faye’s strings.  At the Hallowe’en party, all hell’s let loose when little monster Grace picks on Simon and winds up Nick, who’s taken Simon to the do.  Nick loses control, lashes out and snaps Amy Barlow’s broomstick in half.  It’s exactly the sort of thing Grace wanted to happen and even Faye starts to wonder if her friend has taken things too far. Back home with mum Gail, Nick tells the old witch to bat out and leave him alone, but she doesn’t. She harps on and harps on in the way that Gail does, until Leanne returns and tells Nick she thinks she still loves him and wants to try again.  She hugs him on the soft furnishings while giving one of those “oh eck, what am I doing?’ over the shoulder looks to camera that Corrie does so well.

Faye’s dad Tim’s at Anna’s Hallowe’en party and was supposed to have picked up Faye’s costume but of course he forgot and it’s left to Anna to save the day for Faye, once again. Sally still can’t see through Tim though, and gives him a set of house keys for him to come and go as he please.

Over at Underworld, Peter announces an Employee of the Month competition for the most productive knicker-stitcher. Beth’s out to win it and ropes in Sinead to do some secret stitching after hours and at home. Sinead’s not best pleased to be cheating for her aunty Beth, but agrees anyway.

In Barlow’s Buys, Rob lies to Tina and tells her if she apologises to Tracy for smashing the window then he’ll pay the cost of having it repaired, but she mustn’t tell Tracy about their secret deal. She does, of course. Well, you would, wouldn’t you? Just to get back at Tracy.  Tina ends up both apologising and paying and Tracy sulks to Deirdre about Rob going behind her back. “I think I love him, mam,” she moans in the front room just as there’s a knock at the door and a bunch of cheap flowers from Dev’s shop walks in with an apology and Rob behind them.

And finally this week, Eileen’s not happy. She’s broke and fed up and so Liz drags her along to the Rovers with Deirdre for a  girls’ night out. Or in. Whichever you prefer. The three of them get tipsy and moan about missing men. Deirdre pulls Sean to her side and gives him a cuddle. “You’re barking up the wrong tree, there,” notes Liz. “It worked for Maria with Marcus!” laughs Deirdre.  “Maria didn’t bark, she howled!” replies Eileen, in a very funny scene that ended with the three of them singing “Sisters are doing it for themselves” at the Rovers bar. Cracking stuff.  And the evening ends with a smile on Eileen's face when she gets a text message from Todd saying he's coming for a visit.
