Welcome. Carl is giving Ryan a hard time over making improvements and generally seeking to enhance customer satisfaction. In total disrespect to Ryan's position Carl chews gum in front of the public and while talking to Ryan. Ronnie spots the two of them exchanging words and tells Ryan that he is in charge and knows what he has to do. The next time Carl fails to follow instructions Ryan sacks him. Sadly Ryan did not follow the procedure in the handbook of checking Carl's relationship to the proprietor and we can expect a) The decision will be rescinded and b) the Employment Tribunal will reverse the decision. You need to write a letter, have a formal investigation, a formal hearing with trade union representatives present and the process must be followed to the letter. Carl has a drink in the Rovers and then looks at an insurance policy on his phone. It turns out that he stands to benefit if anything happens to Chariot Square.
Todd is out running and almost stumbles over. He is hearing Theo's voice in his head as he runs and then collapses outside Roys Rolls from where George and Christina emerge to pick him up. They patch him in the undertaker's office. When Christina pulls his trainers off we can see that Todd's feet have been bleeding. George says he needs a break from the running. However Todd says he will - but cannot because of the pressure on him.
Daniel is off to the big house today so that the guy who assaulted him can say sorry. Colin limps into the room and effectively admits two things - one - he cannot run for toffee and two - that he was pally to plead guilty as now he is in the dry, getting fed three times a day and receiving medical attention for his very gammy leg. Daniel turns on his brain and suspects that he knows someone else who can run and decides to ask Will about it. Will is having a bad day all round. Earlier he asked for a pay rise or an advance (because we know he has a baby on the way he need to support) and gets turned down by his parents. Then he knocks Susie's tablet flying shattering the screen and is told that he needs to pay for the replacement out of his earnings as Susie needs it for school work. Then Will gets told off by Megan for being slow on his run. Maggie then also chides him for losing his temper earlier on. So when Daniel wants to talk to him about his last essay Will is quick to apologise, although Daniel thinks Will might be overdoing the athletics and needs to concentrate on his work until his exams are over. Daniel says he will give an extra chance. Daniel tells Will that he and Megan are going away over Easter. Daniel tells Will that he has to stop having this crush on Megan. Daniel recalls Christmas Day and accuses Will of attacking him. Later in the Bistro he tells Megan of his suspicions. She tries to counter his beliefs and at least gets him to sleep on it so she thinks.
Jodie keeps making herself useful and is now organising a present for Harry's birthday next month for David and Shona. Harper's surgery is booked for 4 March.
Ollie and Lauren went to a party but Ollie has decided they want to be friends. Lauren is invited round to Betsy's for a girlie night where Carla gets to look after Frankie as the girls snack. Betsy has texted Ollie who told her that Lauren had friend-zoned him. Betsy has the romance of the year back on track. Carla has received some good news from Ryan as they are working on a surprise for Lisa.
Daniel talks to the police, Kit turns up at the Rovers and Will gets arrested. Susie gets to witness her first arrest as does Megan, Maggie who is sending for a solicitor and advises Will to say nothing until the solicitor is there, Ben who is going with his son and Eva who is trying to keep Susie out of the way.
I don't know if it is a conscious change or not but tonight they certainly seemed to be running a couple of main stories whilst still keeping a couple of the lesser ones ticking over. Jodie looks po faced every time David talks about family but she is not included in the definition of family. No sign of Bernie and Mal tonight and we heard Theo's voice but did not see the man who was ever more unbearable on Thursday night.
