Coronation Street has had many weddings over the years but this week we witnessed one of the most weird. Bride Maria and groom Gary were married in holy wedlock in the Bistro, standing two metres apart. After they’re wed they head off to the Lake District on honeymoon leaving Adam and Sarah at odds on the street. Adam wants to forgive Sarah but only if she’ll come clean about what she feels for Gary Windass and Sarah can’t reveal the truth.
Meanwhile, lonely Daniel calls call-girl Nicky and invites her to his flat where he cooks dinner for her and asks her to wear Sinead’s cardigan. She’s taken aback by Daniel inviting her into his home and she reminds him that he’s paying for her time.
Over in the flower shop, with Eileen away in Thailand, Mary’s been given permission to open Eileen’s post. She opens a handwritten letter that claims to be from Eileen’s wayward and missing son, Todd, demanding cash be left in a bag in the park on the street. Billy, Sean and Mary get their heads together and put a bundle of paper in the park for Todd to collect. However, it isn’t Todd who turns up, it’s a young girl who admits she found Todd’s phone and his bag by the canal and thought she could rip off Eileen.
Elsewhere this week, Abi has one final chance to say farewell to her twins before their foster family take them to live in Australia. But when she’s working in the garage, an car engine falls on her and pins her to the floor. Peter Barlow hears her screams and calls for an ambulance to take her to hospital. She’s in physical pain from her injuries and mental torture over missing the twins before they were taken away for good. So when a nurse leaves a trolley full of drugs by her bedside, she nicks some morphine – just as Peter Barlow comes to visit and sees what she’s done.
Finally, Gemma and Paul celebrate their 30th birthday next week and Gemma’s arranging a birthday party for them both, but it’s to be kept a secret from Paul as a surprise. Paul can tell Gemma’s being furtive and he’s worried that she’s suffering from depression again.
And that’s just about that for this week.
