Corrie review - Monday 14 November 2011



It's the morning after for Lloyd as he cleans away broken glass from the mirror surrounded by pictures of the happier times he spent with Cheryl and Russ. Meanwhile at number 6, the scene isn't much happier as a distraught Katy waits for a text from Chesney. Anna is on hand to try and cheer her up.

The Grey's leave their flat at the same time as Lloyd leaves number 13. Cheryl worries about 'rubbing his nose in it' but Chris laughs it off. Lloyd heads off to the corner shop to buy a ready meal for one and Sunita points out to Dev that Cheryl has broken Lloyd.

Anna calls around to see Chesney and manages to persuade him to speak to Katy by warning that he could also kill his relationship with Katy.

Brian and Julie are in the Kabin showing Rita, Norris and Dennis pictures of suspected UFOs they took the previous night. Norris is skeptical and when Tommy arrives he points out the the pictures are Chinese Lanterns. Kirk arrives with a collection pot to raise money for Schmeichel's operation.

Chesney goes to see Katy but despite her best efforts she cannot persuade Chesney to put Schmeichel to sleep saying they still cannot afford a new operation. Chesney again storms off, determined to help his beloved dog.

Gary is with Chesney and offers him a lift to the vets while Kirk is still out raising money for the operation. With Sophie's help he manages to edge the fund closer to £50. Tyrone then conributes saying he understands Chesney's pain and how much he misses Monica, his own dog. When they get to the clinic the vet again tries to persuade Chesney that the kindest thing would be to put Schmeichel to sleep but Chesney still won't hear of it and gets Gary to help him bring his dog home.

Michelle is in the Rovers telling Ciaran that she doesn't want to return to the cruise ship as she has found her calling with Underworld. Despite Ciaran's best efforts to persuade her otherwise, she remains steadfast. She's staying.

At number 9, Tina is finally ready to go with Matt and after a sarcastic remark to Tommy, she once again faces Kirsty's wrath. Matt soon arrives to take her out to the Bistro with his university friends.

In the cab office Lloyd is operating the switch when Cheryl calls around to apologise for the way she broke up with him for Chris but Lloyd is't in the forgiving mood and sends her packing as Karl turns up. He tells Lloyd that he's well shot of the 'freeloading tart with a kid in tow'. Lloyd throws up against the wall and fires him on the spot but Karl refuses to leave stating clearly that his shift has started.

Kirk has managed to raise £62 for Schmeichel but he and Gary can see the pain that he's going through and both tell Chesney that it is time to put Schmeichel to sleep. Chesney again refuses to give up on his dog and left alone with Schmeichel there's a knock on the door. It's a bailiff after the rent. He tries to gain access to number 5 and it's left to Owen to stop him. He recognises the bailiff and manages to persuade him to give Chesney an extra day to pay the rent.

Steve arrives at the cab office to find Lloyd and Karl still fighting. He sends Lloyd home to cool down and reinstates Karl who heads off on a job.

At number 5 Chesney is calling around vetinerary clinics to try and save Schmeichel while in prison Fiz is informed that the governer wants to see her urgently.

Matt introduces Tina to his friends at the Bistro and one of the girls, Jenny, introduces herself as one of Matt's exes much to Tina's clear disdain.

Steve is behind the bar at the Rovers thinking about Lloyd. Tracy tries to persuade him to come out to dinner but realises that Steve is too concerned about Lloyd and tells him to go and keep him company and that the meal and the underwear she bought for the occasion can wait much to Steve's surprise.

Chesney has a found a vet willing to have a look at Schmeichel but Katy manages to finally get through to him that he needs to let Schmeichel go. Alone with his dog one last time he tells him about him about to be a dad and asks him if everything will be OK with Fiz and his baby. Telling him that he loves him, there's a knock on the door. The vet has arrived to put Schmeichel to sleep.

Tina is still out with Matt and his university friends and Jenny is still looking down her nose at her, bringing up details of her past relationship with Matt. Tina us at the end of her rag by the end of the evening and Matt tries to stop the girls bickering, to no avail. As the evening draws to a close Tina storms off back home arguing with police on the way, thinking that Kirsty has sent them

Steve arrives at Lloyd's to try and cheer him up. Lloyd tells him that he overheard Chesney and Kart discussing baby names and that they were thinking of calling their baby James if it was a boy and that they'd never heard of the singer James Brown. Soon him and Steve are discussing people with famous names, with the thoughts of Cheryl and Russ now at the back of his mind. He soon manages to get Lloyd to come out on a pub crawl.

The vet allows Chesney to cradle Schmeichel while he adminsters the injection. Within seconds the great Dane has stopped panting. Chesney looks on distraught at his beloved pet.

Tommy & Tyrone have nearly finished their model UFO and are testing it in the living room as Tina arrives home. Tina doesn't say anything to them about her bad evening but they manage to put a smile on her face.

With the body of Schmeichel now off to the vets, Chesney is at his lowest ebb but he gets a phone call from Fiz in prison. She's been granted bail and is coming home. Relief floods his face as he whispers 'thank you'.
