It’s Roy and Cathy’s wedding day and in the world of soap that can only mean that things will not run smooth. At the church, Cathy runs through her vows once last time with the help of her Dictaphone. That’s when she hears Roy’s words it’s recorded from the previous night and she knows that Roy doesn’t love her, that he’s only going through with the ceremony because he promised that he would.  Meanwhile, Roy’s in the flat and he takes off his wedding ring to Hayley and leaves it beside their ornaments from Amsterdam before he heads to the church. 

As vows are about to be exchanged at the altar, Cathy announces to everyone gathered that she knows Roy doesn’t love her. With just the two of them left in the church after everyone leaves, Cathy and Roy have a heart to heart which fair broke mine.  They decide to go their separate ways and Roy heads home to the flat where he puts his wedding ring to Hayley back on.  Oh, Roy.  And as if that wasn’t enough, when Roy hears from Alex that Cathy’s heartbroken over what Roy has done, he puts the café and flat up for sale, determined to move on and away.

Gail and Andy scatter Michael’s ashes this week then Andy gets revenge on Phelan for causing Michael’s death.  When Phelan’s locking up the builders yard, Andy knocks the fella out with a brick applied hard to the head. Phelan ends up in hospital blaming Kevin Webster for the attack, but when Andy goes to visit him, Phelan tells him he knows it was him. “Do what I say or I’ll call the cops,” Phelan tells Andy, wanting to frame Kevin for the attack. What a nasty piece of glorious work Phelan is to watch.

Over at Streetcars, Peter’s working on the switch while he waits for his cabbie license to come through.  Where’s Fat Brenda when you need her?  She’d certainly be able to help Tim sort out his Christmas present for Sally. He’s bought her a globe that doesn’t have Australia on it and Steve’s bought Michelle a 55” new TV screen. 

Anna struggles with letting Kevin near her as her burns are slow to heal.  But Kevin tells Anna he loves her and wants her and Faye to move into his house to live with him and Jack. Spurred on by this, Anna tries to go back to work in Roy’s Rolls for a little while and she’s doing fine – that is, until Phelan comes in.  “Can you smell summat burning in here?” he menaces at Anna across the counter.  His words and his sneer send Anna into a panic and she goes home a nervous wreck. Phelan also finds out that it was Anna who was sending the poison pen letters to him at No. 11 too. Eileen, of course, remains oblivious to any bad that Phelan can do.

There were some lovely comic scenes with Amy this week, once more channelling nana Blanche.  Tracy thinks she’s got a thing going with Luke, but he isn’t so sure that Tracy’s the right girl for him. “I want to see other people,” he tells Tracy who replies that she’s fine with that, when she’s clearly not.  When Amy finds Tracy snogging Luke in the kitchen, she asks Tracy if Luke is her new boyfriend and Tracy is forced to say yes. Next thing we know, Luke’s invited round for tea and being quizzed by young Amy on his suitability as boyfriend material for her mum.

Another great story this week has been Mary’s quest to find her son. She confides in Erica and Dev and with their help, and Norris, the foursome go hunting for a man called Jude who lives in Newton-le-Willows.  Mary thinks they’ve found him when they knock at the door of a young, good looking man. But alas it’s not to be as he’s a twin and so Mary’s hunt goes on.

And finally this week there’s a night out in town for Sinead and Chesney, David, Todd and Billy. David sits at the bar like Davey-no-mates and a girl sits next to him. He thinks she’s trying to chat him up but instead, she steals his wallet and does a runner too.

And that’s just about that for this week.
