There are no signs of a bank holiday on the street as everyone seems to be working. To be honest, I'd be happy never to hear the word "Nippersnapper" again, and it seems Stephen feels the same as he starts negotiations with Owen and Angelique to buy the brand off of Underworld, which should lead to £70K each for him, Carla, Michael and Sarah. It should be enough to pay back Audrey for releasing the equity on Grasmere Drive. Sarah's found out about this after Audrey got a letter from equity release company but agrees not to dob Stevie-boy into his mum and Gail. I suppose Sarah has good reason to be loyal to him given that he gave her a job which led her to leave the street and go to Waterloo Road in the first place but I can't help but feel that everyone's working in silos re: Stephen. There are many people who are suspicious of him - Tim, Lou, Carla, Owen, Sarah, Glenda, even David doesn't like him; they need to come together to bring him down.
Over at number 6, Boring Stu is still getting all het up over Eliza and Poundshop John Simm, Dom. Would it really be a terrible thing if Eliza were to go and live with her pops? I can't say I'd miss her particularly. I'd miss Jake more and we haven't seen him since 2021.
Meanwhile Yasmeen is invited over to Pakistan by Zeedan. Run, Yas, run! Get away from Boring Stu!
Paul meets up with Shelley who tells him to get over himself and wishes that she had a loving and supportive family. I've read in the spoilers that Shelley's going to have her own storyline soon, rather than just being tough love support for Paul, which'll be good as I very much hate the trope of disabled people turning up to give wisdom to the main character and then disappearing. Billy and Paul make up and go on a day trip to a big lake somewhere and Jonathan Harvey writes a lovely romantic scene in which Bully talks about his mum - loud blouses and flirting with then next door neighbour (I hope she turns up for the wedding) - and they then recreate the skinny dipping scene from Room With A View. I hope this was filmed in that hot week in June rather than the rainy bit in July.
Ed has found a plot of land for sale which already ha planning permission to build 6 houses. He wants to put in a bid but of course Edron Incorporated can't do that because Ronnie has spent the cash from their previous development on the Newton and Ridley shares. We never did find out what Ronnie's business was apart from sitting around in Chariot Square supping free drinks.
Oh, and Daisy gives Ryan a ring-light (not a euphemism) for his vids.

How did Paul manage manage to get down to sit on the edge of the jetty and why were Billy and Paul so far away from the lake edge considering he could have had difficulty moving in the water?
I agree, it wasn't thought through properly.
My hubby's disabled and uses a mobility scooter and he's unable to visit our local nature reserve with lakes, a canal, a river, ponds and woodland, as it has no disabled access.
It's a pity but that's the reality, which isn't shown on Corrie.
