The best story this week has been the closure of the Weatherfield library. Yasmeen recruits Roy, Emily, Mary and Craig to stage a sit-in at the library in a protest over council plans to close it down. Yasmeen and Roy are the only ones fit enough to stay overnight as Emily has aches, Craig has his tea on the table and Mary drifts away too. It’s a meeting of minds as Yasmeen and Roy bond over books but after being locked up overnight together, cabin fever sets in. The two of them argue but make up soon enough and there’s heart-warming scenes as Roy tells Yasmeen all about Hayley. When they finally leave the library, Roy decides to set up a make-shift library in the café. Mind you, Mary’s not happy with the friendship that’s developed between Roy and Yasmeen. Oh, she’s not happy at all.
There’s no fool like an old fool and Rita’s not going to be fooled any more than she need be, not any more. She finds out that Dennis deliberately made himself homeless in a bid to get back into Rita’s bed. And when Rita finds out, she’s not best pleased. She chucks Dennis out, again, and tells him never to come back, again. Norris is beside himself with glee, so much so that Dennis punches his lights out and gives him a a bloodied nose. I did a little cheer at that.
Elsewhere this week, Leanne and Nick start divorce proceedings with a trip to the mediation service. It ends in shouting and argy-bargy, as you’d expect.
Craig has a word with Faye and tells her there are tweets about her sleeping with boys at school. Anna’s furious when she finds out and wants to go to the police but Beth and Tim stop him, saying things will die down.
Gail helps Michael clean up an old ice-cream van he’s got a job working in over the summer. "I’ve always been partial to a bit of tutti-frutti,’ says Gail as she flirts with Michael in the garden. When Nick spies his mum and Michael snogging in the garden, he loses his temper and chucks plant pots through the ice-cream van windows.
And finally this week, David and Kylie return from Barbados with little Max. Their holiday has been ruined by Max being hyperactive. But when David tells Kylie he thinks Max should get looked at, she tells him she won’t have him pestered by mind inspectors and that her son is not a nut-job.
