Eccles is poisoned when Simon’s ex-mate Tyler slips the dog sausages laced with slug pellets. Toyah finds the dying dog and rescues it, and Eccles is well again. But even though she’s saved the dog’s life, Peter tells her he still wants nothing to do with her and a For Sale sign goes up at the Rovers. It’s always an exciting time when the Rovers goes up for sale, you feel there’s a change in the air.
Steve sorts through his bag of old engagement rings, trying to find the one that Tracy had the first time around. He thinks he’s found it but when he gives it to Tracy, she’s over the moon that he’s bought her a ‘new ring’. However, it’s not new at all, it’s one that belonged to Tracy’s arch-enemy Karen McDonald. Oh, I can’t wait for her to find out. Ken offers to pay for Tracy’s wedding to Steve as long as she has a double wedding with Daniel and Sinead. It’s an offer that goes down like a lead balloon with Tracy and she refuses - which is exactly what Ken had hoped for.
Bethany gives Max and Lily a makeover. David’s up in arms with Max having his face done up like David Bowie yet has nothing to say on his tiny daughter done up like a tart. He warns Max against wearing make-up and all it could signify, his homophobia at odds with the David we know. He further bangs on about it to Billy the vicar and makes crude homophobic remarks. Billy demands to know what’s going on in David’s head and David breaks down and tells him about the rape. David also proposed to Shona this week but she has the good sense to turn him down, knowing that he needs to get his head sorted before she says yes to spending the rest of her life with him.
HOSPITAL SCENE KLAXON!
Bethany panics when Ryan starts kissing her and runs from Michelle and Robert’s living room in a right state. Sarah storms into the room and pushes Ryan, he falls and knocks himself out and ends up in hospital where he tells the police he can’t remember who hit him. But when Sarah visits him he tells her he remembers everything and he wants a thousand pounds off her for keeping quiet about the ‘attack’.
HOSPITAL SCENE KLAXON!
Also in hospital this week is young Jack who’s diagnosed with Sepsis and in intensive care. Sophie blames herself for not getting him to the hospital quick enough and in her fury at the NHS, demands that Adam Barlow sue the medical profession for not diagnosing Jack’s illness earlier, even though it is extremely rare and very difficult to diagnose.
In the salon, Maria starts – gulp - changing things. Audrey, as you can imagine, isn’t best pleased. Maria is setting herself up against Audrey and I think we know there can only be one winner here my darling, hmm?
And finally this week, Flora moves into an old folks home and leaves Sinead and Daniel a cheque for thirteen thousand pounds. Sinead wants to spend the money on opening a vintage clothes shop.
And that’s just about that for this week.
