GARY IS OUT OF OPTIONS As a harassed Gary ignores Rick’s phone calls, he finishes Mary’s guttering but lies to her that further repairs are needed as a matter of urgency. Mary hires Gary leaving him riddled with guilt. When Rick drives Gary to an assisted living complex, he reveals that he expects Gary to con some gullible old biddies into taking out high-interest loans. Will a desperate Gary agree?
PETER AND KATE GO ON A GHOST HUNT Carla’s emotional as she leaves another voicemail for Rana, asking her to ring back. Peter apologises to Kate for blaming her for sending the messages and requests her help identifying the real culprit. Kate agrees, but only to discover who’s sullying Rana’s memory, and enlists the help of Alya to find out which of Rana’s friends may have had access to her account. Carla’s paranoia grows when she covers the webcam on her laptop, fearing she’s being spied on.
IMRAN HAS SOME MAKING UP TO DO After an argument, Toyah tries to restore peace between her and Imran but when he snaps at her she storms off. As a peace offering, Imran attempts to cook a veg curry.
ELSEWHERE Nick looks forward to getting Underworld up and running in the community centre. Paul reminds Gemma of the fun-filled caravan trips of their youth and offers to make some enquiries.

ALEX GETS TANGLED IN GARY’S WEB OF LIES With Rick’s eyes boring into him, Gary reluctantly knocks on the door of a sweet old lady who, hearing he’s offering loans, ushers him inside. Gary is sickened as Rick spots Alex on the street and effortlessly interests him in a loan, requesting his passport and PIN in order to simplify the repayments. In The Rovers, Gary warns Alex to think twice about taking a loan from Rick but he proceeds with the loan nevertheless. When Rick guesses Gary tries to put him off he warns Sarah and Harry will suffer if he doesn’t start paying ball. As Sarah climbs into bed, Gary sobs quietly at the kitchen table.
CARLA’S ON A DOWNWARD SPIRAL Seeing Peter’s bewilderment at her erratic behaviour, Carla panics that he’s been brainwashed. To make matters worse, Carla hears Rick’s whispered threats to Gary in the backyard of No.1, and her paranoia soars.
DANIEL AND SINEAD DARE TO LOOK TO THE FUTURE Daniel looks on with pride as an emotional Sinead rings the bell signifying the end of her treatment. When Daniel suggests they hold a naming ceremony for Bertie Sinead loves the idea but predicts her family will expect a traditional christening.
ELSEWHERE Toyah’s relieved to see Imran making progress, but when Imran collars Wayne for news of the accident report, it’s clear Rana’s death is still very much on his mind.

A small part of me wonders if Alya is one messaging Carla. They have had bad blood before over Kal's death and ownership of the factory, and Rana was Alya's best friend (though how that friendship recovered Rana cheating on Alya's own brother, I don't know). I don't think it's in Alya's nature to do such a thing, but Corrie loves a good twist, and maybe they'd want to take a different direction with her.
ReplyDeleteRe Gary, it's just a repeat of the Joe McIntyre story.
ReplyDeleteMy bet is on Lolly who’s sending the messages.
