After months of not being mentioned Dorin turned up tonight so that Steve could lose him playing hide and seek. The whole world thought he had gone off in the broken fridge but luckily he was hiding in the back yard outhouse from which he emerged to swear Carl to secrecy. Hope does not know her phone contains a picture compromising Carl and Abi as well as Ty's backside so when it falls out of a biscuit tin into a sink of water from which it might emerge working she is not amused. Dorin was then allowed out of the shed and everyone, except Abi, was thankful he had been found - she worked out that Carl knew where he was and cannot trust him again. However given his failure to look after Dorin Steve is homeless. Hope is pretty tech savvy and it will all be backed up in the cloud, although she says not. Hope however does not trust Carl - she thinks he did it on purpose - so at least she has something right.
Now that Ryan is living with Aunty Carla he can be told her secrets such as her intention to propose to Lisa. She sets up the ring in the glass of champagne with Glenda for later. Along the way we are reminded of Ty's proposal to Molly using the same trick where another couple in the same restaurant had a mariachi band to support the proposal! Lisa eventually arrives at the Rovers and recounts how Becky proposed with a ring in a glass of champagne at which point Carla just about stops Glenda repeating the same trick. Lisa wants to visit California so perhaps Carla could propose there? It will be Carla's sixth wedding - she married Peter twice.
Alya is finally looking for a job. However the application goes nowhere. Dee Dee misses Laila rolling over for the first time as reported by James. So Dee Dee comes over all motherly and decides she has to go part time. She tells Adam the solution is to employ Alya as a legal assistant as she needs a job and they need another pair of hands, even if Adam is sleeping with her.
The fallout from the attack on Noah continues. Danielle is convinced that Theo is responsible for the attack and bans Theo from seeing the children; plus Lisa Swain invites Theo down to the station to answer a few questions about the attack under full caution. Noah did not see his attacker. Theo claims he was at home all evening with Todd who confirms the alibi. Gary does not admit he did it - but the way he is talking it looks like that he was in fact responsible, but later both Todd and Theo wonder what sort of monster they have released in Gary.
Ronnie thinks Debbie joining a dementia choir might be a good idea. And is it likely that Debbie will consider it a good idea? An inevitable row follows which gets worse when Ronnie shows little interest in wedding rings - which he was not planning to wear after the wedding. Eventually there is compromise on both sides.
And in news which I did not want to hear Carl tells Abi he does not want "this" to end. Worse - nor does Abi as she wants it to go on forever. These two are just so wrong. Please end this story next week.
Just to note that the last gig Roy attended was the Spinners in 1978 (possibly 14 October - Manchester Free Trade Hall £1). Farewell concert in 2021.

It was a really poorly written episode. Abi coming over all caring until she wants her leg over the next time. A senior detective living on the same street that she's policing and then giving her witness details of the alibi he needs to give. The only funny thing was Theo and Todd bickering about Gary, "ooh he's a bit of a nutter isn't he?" Really really poor.
Why doesn't Theo see a solicitor about seeing his children, instead of moaning about it all the time? If they met their dad in a cafe in the city centre, who would find out?
But Carl, I DO want it to end. Very soon, please!
Totally agree. Family court would not stop Theo seeing his children unless he was a danger to them.
Apart from the ridiculous idea that Carla suddenly became a lesbian - why couldn't she and Lisa just be mutually supportive friends? - Carla would never do the naff "ring in a glass of champagne" thing.
Debbie's reaction to Ronnie's dementia choir suggestion was extremely nasty and out of character, even for her!
Um, Lisa’s response to Theo protesting his innocence - ‘We’ve only got your word for that.’ As opposed to the word of a clearly malicious anonymous tip-off? Seriously?
