FRIDAY 11TH AUGUST
STEPHEN PAYS TRIBUTE AT HIS VICTIM’S MEMORIAL A guilty Stephen struggles at Rufus’ memorial, after being asked by Rufus’ son Jools how he knew his dad he hurries out. Returning with the staff from the factory in tow he explains to Carla that he thought it would make Rufus look more popular. When Jools makes an emotional speech about his Dad, Stephen hurries off to the gents, watched by Carla and Lou. He returns and is horrified when he sees his tie pin in a bag that Lou shows him containing Rufus’ things that were found by the side of the pool. When Lou mentons Rufus’ missing watch Peter is forced to confess to Carla that he found it in the back of his cab and pawned it for her rehab. Stephen is shocked when Lou reveals she is going to show the tie pin to the police as it didn’t belong to Rufus.
WILL GEMMA ACCEPT THE BREWER’S BARGAIN Gemma feels bad about the pub going up for sale when she feels she could put a stop to it all if Chesney would let her work with Henry. Bernie calls at the kebab shop and tells Chesney that he needs to get over his dislike of Henry and prove to Gemma that he trusts her to work with Henry. Gemma meets up with Henry in the precinct and tells him that if he promises to save the pub, she’ll accept his job offer. Henry’s delighted. At No.5, Gemma breaks the news to Chesney that Henry has agreed to buy the Rovers but on condition she takes the job as his PA. Burying his anxiety, Chesney hugs her.
MAX BREAKS HIS PROMISE TO LAUREN Max wishes Lauren good luck and says he will pop into the cafe to give her moral support. Lauren gets off to a rocky start in the café but Shona assures Roy she’ll get the hang of it. When Sabrina approaches Max and suggests they hang out at No.8, Max sends Lauren a text telling her he won’t have time to drop by the café. Unbeknown to him, a downcast Lauren watches him from across the street as he heads home with Sabrina. Sabrina admits to Max that she really likes him but as long as Lauren remains in his life, a relationship is out of the question. Max is torn, who will he choose? Lauren returns home and tells Max and Shona that Roy’s given her the job on a permanent basis.
ELSEWHERE Stu apologises to Eliza for the way he treated her Dad. Eliza’s unforgiving. Yasmeen and Stu return home to find Eliza facetiming her Dad. Stu loses his temper and a row ensues

Ahhhhh.....goodbye Ruby!
ReplyDeleteRuby has a new head!
ReplyDeleteSo, Lauren is glued to her phone, doesn't pass on a customer order, gets tea and coffee mixed up and shows a general lack of enthusiasm, with a miserable expression all day.
ReplyDeleteBut hey, she passes the trial at the cafe with flying colours and Roy offers her a job.
He must be doing well, as he pays himself, Nina, Alex, Bernie, Shona and now Lauren.
Unless Alex has left and Lauren is taking over his role?
I'm gobsmacked why posh Henry Newton wants Gemma as his full- time PA. She's pulled pints and looked after kids, so how does that experience enable her to undertake a top office based job?
Surely somepne like Sarah or Maria would be better placed for the role.
It's nice to have a break from Adam and Sarah, but I'm not keen on Max.
What does he do, apart from hang about and play computer games? Why didn't Shona clinch him the cafe job instead of offering it to Lauren?
Why doesn't Max help David in the barbers or help anyone at Audrey's?
I find Stu, Yasmeen, Eliza and her dad pretty dreary. I suppose it's heading to a custody battle - what a tedious, long, drawn out plotline that's going to be.
I'm glad The Rovers has been saved!
Could there be anything more preposterous than Henry Newton lusting after Gemma? As if......
