Nathan’s arrested and taken away after Bethany seeks help in a service station when Nathan stops there on his way driving her out of the country. The cops are called, Nathan’s nicked and that’s the end of that, right? Not quite. There’s a long way to go just yet. Back in Weatherfield, the Platt clan gather round Bethany as David agrees to Sarah’s demand that Gail’s allowed to move back in. Down at the cop shop, Bethany’s interviewed about Nathan, but she’s already been warned by Nathan’s mate, policeman Neil, to watch what she says. She doesn’t name Neil, she breaks down in tears and lies to the detective interviewing her.  Later, she gets drunk on vodka on Maxine’s bench. She says a teary thank you to Mary for her help and support and then calls to see Craig, drunkenly veering between flirting with him and plucking up the courage to tell him about Neil. But… “He’s not all that he seems,” is all she gets to say – for now, at least.

Billy’s ex-fella Drew died this week and Drew’s mum arrives. She’s a nasty piece of work is Drew’s mum , Geraldine. A homophobic, right nasty piece of work, who tells Billy that he’s not invited to Drew’s funeral and he’s not to contact Summer again.  Todd comes out fighting for what he knows is right and for Billy and Summer too. It was great to see a charged-up Todd doing something good.

Fiz’s old mate Kim returns to the Street and Tyrone’s jealous when he spies the two of them chatting. It’s too much for Tyrone to bear and he loses his temper with them both, until Kim admits that he’s gay.  Tyrone is suitably chastised after a dressing down from Fiz.

Kev’s had enough of Anna this week and ends up snogging Erica on the sofa at Dev’s.  Kev tells Anna he can’t deal with being pushed away by her all and wonders how long they can stay together.  Anna’s got more on her mind than Kev’s wandering mind when she finds out that Faye and Seb have been sleeping together. Tim’s also not best pleased and grabs Seb on the Street. “She’s only 15!” Tim tells Seb and warns him to stay away from his daughter or he’ll go to the cops. Does this stop Seb and Faye from meeting up again in the ginnel for a hug and a kiss? No, it flaming well does not.

Over at Yasmeen’s house, she’s at her wits end with Cathy and Brian canoodling in the corner and Brian cooking in her kitchen in just his pants and socks. Zeedan’s fed up too and tells Roy that Brian wants to see him in the flat, knowing full well that Brian’s got Cathy there. Roy heads to the flat to find out why Brian needs to see him, only to find Brian on one side of the bathroom door with Cathy on the other. Brian lies that he’s got a woman in there that he met on the internet, and her name’s Gwen Hoarder. It doesn’t take long for Roy to realise it’s Cathy and after a wonderfully comic scene, Roy tells them he gives their relationship his blessing.

And finally this week, Aidan’s ready to break things off with Eva but she gets a phone call from Stella in France where her fella’s dumped her in the Dordogne. Eva leaves on a plane and Maria’s straight round to see Aidan in the empty flat. When Eva returns she’ll be looking to breaking a certain thing off Aidan, when she finds out what’s been going on.

And that’s just about that for this week.
