Happy Easter! Hope you've had your fill of chocolate and are now ready for a big dose of
misery drama. The cops are on the cobbles, interviewing the residents about evil Phelan's evil deeds. Everyone is affected: the Platts, the Nazirs, the Grimshaws, the Metcalfes, the Windasses (what's left of 'em). Nicola turns up to realise that everything she thought about her dad was true and even gets some sympathy from Sarah (who seems to be wearing Bet Lynch's leopard-skin cast-offs). Eileen's still not telling about her role in her husband's demise, but the police, finding a fake passport and €56,000 on the fishing boat, arrest her on suspicion of Phelancide. The Corrie residents are on the same page as the cops, even those who have been in the same situation (Tracy, Gail). Steve says she'll be fine, which is proof that Eileen'll be the latest in a long line of falsely-accused Weatherfieldians, EXCEPT Eileen couldn't have killed Phelan because - SURPRISE - we end the episode with Phelan sewing up his injuries in an Irish B&B. Blinkin' flip!
Also at the cop shop, Craig finds out that Neil is appealing his sentence. Bethany says she won't go back to court, which causes argument in her family. David over-relates and ends up shouting at the remaining Platts. "You're going to stand there and let her experience it again and again." D.C. Lee fetches up and tells Bethany that Neil has only
lodged an appeal; it is yet to be approved, and then tells Craig that he wasn't professional and he has to take time off or be suspended. This sends young master Tinker off into a spiral of OCD symptoms and he yells at Bethany when she pops 'round.
Shona tries to talk to David, asking him why he is so angry and pointing out that they haven't slept together for a while. David claims that it's because of his family, but when Shona suggests they go to bed and just snuggle, he grabs his coat and leaves.
Meanwhile, Sophie fails to get a job. What happened to our Soph? She used to trot confidently around the mechanics with her clipboard, swinging her shiny hair and swishing her cape, and now one knock-back from Sister Self-Righteous of the Connors and she goes to pieces. Aidan gives her a pep talk and tells her that it will go right for her next time - so presumably she'll be working at the factory next week.
