It's the big day. After being on-off-on-off-on-off-on since 1997, back when they looked like this:
they're finally off. For good this time? They quibble over crockpots and teatowels but they're getting on better than they have for months. Sam is upset, but really, you can't stay together for the sake of a chess nerd. Also it makes sense for Leanne to move out as she can't keep splitting up with men and keeping their kids.
Bethany is out of hospital and not dealing well with her stoma. As Corrie writers have a tendency to forget the characters' illnesses or conditions, I will be looking out for sweetcorn on Bethany's plate during future Platt meals at the bistro. She returns to Redbank and whist Sarah pops out for potatoes, the scally, who knocked into Sarah and then stole her keys, breaks into the flat whist Damon furiously tries to phone his ex to warn her that Harvey's goons are after the loot. Sarah gets an anonymous phone call telling her she has to return the money....or else. The final scene shows us David looking through a holdall containing a lot of cash. I'm quite into the idea of David returning to his bad boy roots; it's been a minute.
Lauren beings some flowers to Deedee to thank her for letting her move in. Given that Lauren has a tendency to bite the hand that
feeds plus she probably would want Max to sleep over and babies tend to
cry - a lot - Deedee has changed her mind by the end of the ep. Plus there's the did-she-didn't-she kill Joel issue. Ms Bailey finds a note from Joel written before they split up and she breaks down, which is unfortunate as the social worker is waiting back at the flat for her.
Bobby goes around to number 8 to have it out with Lauren and Max (Mauren? Lax?) whom he feels are ignoring him and they tell him they slept together. Using contraception this time, I hope.
Chesney is instructed he will have to clean the kebab shop in his own time and before Friday. Given there's no Tuesday or Thursday in Weatherfield, poor old Ches only has 2 days to do it. Isn't it actually extra pressure on Gemma if he's at work all hours and she's the only one looking after 5 children?
Gemma is back at the coalface too but gets upset when David does a passable impression of Paul and then Debbie wants to talk about her dad dying and she rushes out. Kit, who has no crims to catch today, offers her the use of his friend's cottage but she has to take the kids with her. Is she going to be the only person in history to come back from the Lake District in October with a tan?
