I know I promised I would be here for the Friday episodes – but due to football one episode of Corrie appeared this evening and was a pretty easy introduction for me.
David wakes up on the sofa in Martin’s house having taken Max and Lily for a visit and to distance himself from his problems in Weatherfield. Martin knows that David is suffering from something stressful – or is ill – but David is not talking and David will not let the children out of his sight. Shona is again getting no answer to her phone calls. Martin tells David that New Zealand is going to be good for him and he has a good house and it is very safe. David does not even give Martin the chance of a catch up before he is heading back to Weatherfield. Once back home David announces to Shona that they should move to New Zealand as well - no discussion! Shona, Gail and Audrey try to convince him otherwise. And then David drops the bombshell – he will move even if Shona does not come – her choice.
Tyrone and Ruby are staying with Kev – but since he gently smacked Ruby the latter is saying she hates Tyrone and will not even come downstairs and she refuses to hold hands when they go outside. Fiz meanwhile is using the sleepover excuse again. Gina tells Fiz she saw Ty with Gemma earlier and Fiz is upset every is gossiping about her. Ty is just grateful for the help Gemma has given him and he and Chesney have words as Chesney knew about Hope whom Fiz is taking to the doctor. Ruby wants her tea with Hope when they see each other in the Street.
Ali has spent the night with Carla – so it looks like she has achieved a full recovery. He departs through the café and both he and Carla make it seem that he responded to a very early call out (do you know any doctors who actually do home visits these days? No me neither!). Robert gives Carla a message from Michelle about their meeting at Mayor Metcalfe’s later and invites Ali to train with him. After the training Ali spots Carla and Michelle together and Robert confirms they are very close friends.
Rosemary Piper (Sophie Thompson) has asked for another meeting with Gail as she has had more messages from Richard. Apparently Richard has laid a curse on the family and to deal with it Rosemary is going to need to charge and there will be quite a few sessions. Brian overhears the conversation as he was in the Bistro chatting to the newly butch and assertive Chesney.
Carla and Michelle rock up at the Metcalfes' for a brew and once they have apologised for the way they behaved last time Sally feels it is only right that they should be the first to see the impressive Italian designer Freshco makeover applied to her living room. Carla calls it “Very cutting edge.” Sally adds she has always been keen on the avant-garde - Banksy, Tracey Ermine, it is so sophisticated! Michelle thinks she has seen the design before. Behind Sally’s back both Connors dissolve with laughter. As they sup a brew Tim (with flowers) and Gina arrive and the latter identifies the wallpaper as being Weatherfield Freschco – as they have in their caff! Michelle confirms she has also seen it! Tim blames Kirk. Sally throws the flowers back at Tim.
