Our Gemma has a heart of gold, doesn’t she? The start of last week was a bad one for Gemma when her boyfriend, Henry, supposedly had a broken arm after a fall in the Rovers. Sadly, things went from bad to worse when Hazza turned out to be faking his injury. Classy.
Poor Gemma was torn. Here was the love of her life begging her to lie to Jenny and Johnny and help him sue them for a big ol’ sum of £17K. Once upon a time, Gemma would’ve jumped at the chance to make some easy money, but she’s a reformed character now. Deep down, she knew the choice was simple. Jenny made the decision slightly easier for her by informing her that they’d already found out posh Henry’s somewhat flawed plan. Alas I’ll miss George Banks as Henry; up until now I’ve really enjoyed the character.
After Gemma told him to do one, it didn’t take her long to bounce back to her usual, upbeat self. Bless her heart, she was sure that Liz was missing Mike and was dead-set on getting them back together. Which, while she may not have listened to what Liz was saying, was actually really quite sweet.
And can we just appreciate how amazing Dolly-Rose Campbell was last week? She’s always incredible but I was blown away by Monday’s episode.
Who’s your star of the week this week?
