Good to know K9. This thread would sorely miss you if you ceased posting!
Episode 8460: Monday 1st September at 7.30pm Peter is rushed to hospital. Can Jason deal with his guilt? Kylie tries to make a good impression. *** Episode 8461: Monday 1st September at 8.30pm Will Carla visit dying Peter? (dying for a drink? )Max’s behaviour causes concern. And Fiz isn’t impressed by Tony. *** Episode 8462: Wednesday 3rd September at 7pm Peter’s words stun Carla. Stress gets the better of Kylie. And is the game up for Jason? *** Episode 8463: Friday 5th September at 7.30pm Will Tyrone discover the truth? Carla begins to doubt Peter’s guilt. And Max’s behaviour is diagnosed. *** Episode 8464: Friday 5th September at 8.30pm Jason’s betrayal is exposed. Will Carla talk to the police? And Kylie is amazed by Max’s reaction. DS Producer Interview - Part 1: Which storylines and characters are going to be most prominent as we head into the autumn? "We've got Peter's trial coming up as well as Tracy and Rob's wedding. All of the stories surrounding Peter, Tracy, Rob, Carla, Jim, Liz, Steve and Michelle are going to be really big. "The dates for the trial and the wedding have been mentioned on screen, so we've gone public with the news that the big events are happening in October. It'll be a big soap month because that's when we'll have our big set pieces happening. "That won't be the end, though - there's more to come as there are more chapters after that. The whole thing - from Tina's death, to Peter's imprisonment and the dramatic October - is almost the prologue for chapter one of the next story…" Can we expect fitting exits for Peter and Rob? "Absolutely. They'll both be very different exits - one will be very high-octane and explosive, while the other one will be a lot sadder. I can't say which is which, though!" Peter and Carla still have a strong fanbase, so will there be any closure for their relationship? "There aren't a huge amount of scenes on the way with Peter being locked up, but there is some moving stuff coming up for them fairly soon. The viewers will see that on screen in the next month or so. Carla's reaction to recent events and how she starts to view the whole story will certainly change significantly, so there absolutely will be closure." Where do you see Carla's character going in the longer-term? "As the ramifications of the murder story are far from over, Carla will definitely be involved in all of that! In the shorter-term, Carla is a strong woman who has gone through incredible heartbreak. We'll see her really throw herself into the factory and there'll be a positive journey for her there, although whether other people are happy with that remains to be seen! "One big legacy from the Hayley story has also been Carla's friendship with Roy. We've got a big story coming up for Roy at Christmas and that lovely friendship between them will be revisited then." ![]() There are some new characters joining soon, including Kal's son Zeedan. What can we expect from him? "Zeedan is funny, he can be flirty and he's a little bit vain as he's really into his clothes! There's not a dark side to him, but his relationship with Kal is incredibly difficult. Zeedan was brought up for most of his life by his mother and his grandparents, because his dad was away in the army. "What Zeedan experienced as a young lad was absence, which he's really angry about. His mother died a couple of years back, but when she was alive, Zeedan would have seen her sitting staring at the television and sobbing terrified whenever there were reports from Afghanistan. There's a lot of anger in Zeedan as he questions why his dad wasn't with him. "Zeedan's culture and religion is also important to him. We'll see him go off for private prayers, and that's another point of difference between him and his dad. There's a lot of years for Kal to make up for, but it won't be easy as Zeedan is a stubborn young man!" When will Michael's son Gavin, played by Oliver Townsend, be arriving? "Gavin arrives further into the future as it's round about Christmas time that we'll be seeing him. There's going to be lots of twists and turns with that one. I can't say too much but it's a story that's really going to surprise everyone! "As we've said before, we're also bringing in another new male character called Howie, but we're still casting for him at the moment. We're keen to get the story right and you should hear more about him within the next few weeks." What can we expect from Tyrone's accident next week? "It's a really big storyline. That all started off with Tony making a big mistake by getting Todd involved with the company. Tony genuinely loves his son Jason, but if he told the truth, he'd admit that Jason is a bit too nice for his own good and not ruthless enough! "Todd is the opposite of that - he does have that ruthless side and he'll happily over-quote when it comes to jobs. It's Todd making shortcuts with Tyrone's loft conversation that causes the accident, so it's him rather than Tony who is to blame. "Moving forwards it's going to be like Cain and Abel, because this story is going to start a huge feud between Todd and Jason. As that progresses, it will threaten to split the Grimshaws apart…" Is Tony the next big Corrie villain, or is it more complex than that? "It's going to be a lot more complex than that. Tony has got used to taking shortcuts, so Jason knows that he will have probably been involved in selling some knock-off stuff to get the money to buy the builder's yard for him. From Tony's point of view, that criminal behaviour isn't a day-to-day thing for him - it's just when he needs it for something like setting his son up. "On a day-to-day basis, Tony is happy being with Liz and hanging out at the pub - but there is a real edge to him. He's the type of guy who will have sat in the back streets of Manchester, knowing that one of his so-called mates probably has a gun. "So there is a darker side - it's a little bit like Clint Eastwood in Unforgiven. There's a part of him that doesn't want to be doing this for the rest of his life as he knows he's getting too old for it, but every now and again, he'll be drawn back into that world. "As we move into next year, we will see Tony square up to a few people and certainly see how hard he can be when he has to be…" There's been a big reaction to seeing characters like Jim and Ken back. Does that encourage you to want to bring back more faces from the past? "I'm delighted to see both of those characters back. I love Jim's story and Charlie Lawson has played an absolute blinder on that one. Seeing Bill Roache back in the building was also fantastic for everyone. It's like he's never been away, so it's an absolute delight to have him back. "Even prior to all of that happening, we did start making plans for the return of another popular character, so there is another one on the way. I won't say who yet as it's still to be signed, sealed and delivered, but we do have plans. "Our policy on returning characters is that we'll only do it when it's important for story. Returns can be overdone and we wouldn't just do it to grab a few headlines , but we'll do it when it's right to. The character who is returning will be back on screen early next year."It's been a slow-burn with some of the new characters like Luke, Steph and the Nazir family. Do they have some bigger stories coming up? "Definitely. The slow-burn has been very deliberate on my part. It's like in real life when your neighbours of 20 years move out and new ones move in - it doesn't matter if they're nice or not, it takes time to build up the same relationship! The Carters in EastEnders have been brilliant, but it's very rare that you can bring in a new family of characters en masse and suddenly start giving them huge storylines. "Coming up, Alya does have a big storyline which is really going to threaten her relationship with her grandparents and her brother, so the Nazir family will be busy on screen with that. "Luke and Steph are also each going to find a little bit of love. It's about time for Steph as she hasn't had much romance so far. I think she's really been a breath of fresh air on screen and she's definitely earned her right for some bigger stories, so that's coming." Is the rumoured Faye pregnancy storyline definitely happening? "Yes , that is going to happen and it's going to be horrible for all of her family. The first response for parents in a situation like that would naturally be, 'Where have we gone wrong?', so that'll be the case for Anna, Owen and Tim. "They'll wonder how to deal with it and how to support a young girl who's in that position, as it's very tricky. Anna and Owen will be very close again by this stage, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they'll have the right answers. The answers that they do have also might not necessarily be the same. "What we will see is that the adults put Faye first in every situation that crops up, but it's also Faye's story. Teen pregnancies don't result in long-term welfare checks and a really easy life - it's a nightmare at that age, so it's going to affect her physically and emotionally. It'll also affect her education. Faye is already a character who always worries that she's different, so this will only add to her fears of feeling like an outsider - as well as her fears that she's let down those around her. "It's a biggie and it's one of those stories where we've got a massive responsibility to get it right. Things are better than they were 20 years ago, but it's still a reality for tens of thousands of people out there." Will Corrie's move to Media City pave the way for more set changes? "There will be more. We're going to have a change of direction with the old butchers, and that'll be thanks to the Nazir family. We're also going to get little hints of streets that we might not have seen before. "To be honest, it's a 10-year plan. We wanted to avoid having the audience tune in for the first episode from the new studio and say, 'Oh my God, that's different!' and suddenly get distracted. We're just biding our time, but we've got so many more options here." Are there any stunts coming up? "Yes, coming up in the New Year, there is a real tragedy that's going to affect a dozen or so of our characters. Last year we had David and the car crash and of course that was a stunt, but it genuinely felt like it had come from story. It wasn't us suddenly deciding that we needed to do something spectacular to get the viewers. "It's the same with what we're planning, because it'll come from a relatively long-running story. It is going to be spectacular and a little bit heartbreaking!" Are there any characters who've been quiet for a while who you think deserve bigger stories? "I've got a list of the whole cast in my office and my job is almost impossible, because what I want to happen is to give everyone a big story as everyone in that cast is capable of one. It's so hard because it takes five years to create the space for all of them. I just want to give everyone the screen time they deserve - whether it's Maddie and Sophie, Emily and Norris or the new characters." Can you give us any early hints on this year's Christmas storylines? "It's going to be massive and life-changing for the Platts as there'll be a revelation that knocks David for six and will change everything for him. That's when we'll see Kylie's ex Callum really make an impact. "A lot of the episode will be featured at The Rovers and Steve will have a bit of a mission that day after making some terrible decisions. He'll show utter determination to give his family and friends the best Christmas Day ever, but with a personal and mental challenge to him. "Roy won't have a good Christmas at all, but the episode is also going to be full of love and laughter as well. I loved last year's Christmas episode because even though what was happening to Hayley was so tragic, there was a huge sense of love and community that came out of it, so it'll be that sort of Christmas again this year." |

The Tyrone/Jason stuff sounds dire!
I hope the Max storyline is written well as Paula Lane is a great actress. |

I wish Peter would get killed off, fed up with the character.

Producer Interview Part 2
Are you aware that Tim has become popular with the fans? Is there more coming up for him?
"Definitely - Tim's relationship with Sally is a breath of fresh air and Joe Duttine is just brilliant. Obviously Tim will be right at the heart of the Faye storyline, but beyond that we've also got more fun and frolics for him and Sally. "There's also quite a demanding surprise on the way for Tim. We'll learn something new about him which takes him out of the comedy for a little bit." Will you continue to play with the possibility of a Webster reunion when Kevin returns? "No, I don't think we will(you don't seem to know, making it up as you go along!). Kevin will always regret what he did in the past and there'll always be a 'What if?' when it comes to Sally. His love for Sally won't go away, but I think it's time for him to move on and he will do that. "Kevin has figured out now that Tim and Sally are for real. If there is going to be any type of affair, it's more likely to be Tim and Kevin heading off for a pint behind Sally's back!" Is Max's ADHD story building up towards Kylie's temporary exit? "Yes it is. It is a short-term exit and Kylie will be back, but the decisions she makes over the next few months are all going to be the wrong ones! As we head towards Christmas, it's really going to come to a head. "The arrival of Max's dad Callum will also be a real blast from the past for Kylie. He's been mentioned on screen a lot and it's time for that past to come and visit us!" Are you pleased with the reaction to Gail and Michael's story? "I'm absolutely delighted. I don't think Les will mind me saying that when his name was first put into the hat for the role by our head of casting, I was nervous. I wondered whether it would look like stunt casting and whether it'd just be Les Dennis we were seeing rather than a character, but now it feels like he's been in Corrie forever. His arrival has really enlivened and enriched the Platt household and Gail." Antony Cotton recently sparked some speculation by promising a big story for Sean. Can you give us any further hints? "That will kick off later in the year around Christmas time, and it is going to be a love story. It's a really serious love story, as Sean is absolutely going to fall for this person. The only problem is who he falls in love with and what that means for the relationship - can it ever prosper?" Fans were surprised at the news that Georgia May Foote's character Katy will be leaving the show. Why was that choice made and what can we expect from her exit? "What we're going to start playing with Katy is a story that's hopefully quite truthful. She's in a family that's gone bankrupt and lost everything, so it's a story about her and the ambitions she has for her future and Joseph's. There's a recognition that she's been ambling around the fringes of life. "We're going to give Katy some real ambition and tell a story of how difficult it is for a single mother to have that ambition and try to forge a career. She's not being insulting, but she doesn't want to be in the position that Anna and Owen are in. Katy realises that just doing a bit of part time work isn't really securing Joseph's future, but if she does go ahead on this ambition and has to rely on Sinead and Chesney to take on more of the childcare, what does that mean for her relationship with her son? "On top of that, what starts this story is the return of a character from Katy, Owen and Izzy's past - although it's a new face for us rather than a past Coronation Street character. "Georgia's exit from the show was storyline-led, as the writers came up with this story a while ago and we're just starting to play it out now. I really respect Georgia and can categorically say that she won't be killed off. Who knows what could happen in the future?" [Glad she's not being killed off. ]What can you tell us about Cilla's return? We're keen to see her have some scenes with Beth! "Cilla is Cilla - what I don't want to do is change her DNA. At times she'll be as feckless and as gobby as she always was, but things have very much changed for her. She's in a place now where she really needs the support of her family, but she also knows that she's been a complete disaster as a mother. "Cilla is scared of asking for the help she needs, because she's got enough self-awareness to know how much she's cocked up as a mum - especially with Chesney. There will be fun because it's Cilla, but it's a story with a bit of heart to it. And yes, there will be scenes with Beth!" Todd has returned to the street with a very different outlook on life. Will you delve into the reasons for that? "At some point yes, but we're not there yet. Todd's feud with Jason will rumble on into the New Year, but it's perhaps then that we'll learn how rubbish life in London was for Todd, what really happened down there and what embittered him so much. We're not yet there but we're beginning the journey to us hopefully understanding a bit more." Dennis Tanner was a character with a lot of history on the street, so why was the decision made to write him out? "Again it was storyline-led. We don't sit there with a red pen, it's just that sometimes writers come up with stories that we want to run with. In this case, we wanted to see the Dennis Tanner of old again. He was always a bit of a liar, a bit of a rogue and a bit of a cheat, so we wanted to see the naughty Dennis. (Blames the writers again )"Just because you're in your 60s or 70s doesn't mean you have to be sedate or dull. I think we got into a position where we'd lost a little bit of Dennis Tanner, and once we began to bring the rogue back, it had to have consequences. It didn't feel right to tell a story where he was so badly behaved and then everything carried on as normal. "What I will say is that Dennis's name is chiselled into the windowsill of one of the houses on the street, so he is absolutely part and parcel of Coronation Street's history and we're lucky to have him. The minute someone suggests Dennis returning and a great story which would come from it, who knows what could happen?" We've seen in the past couple of years that Corrie can keep certain things under wraps, such as trial verdicts and the full details of Tina's murder. Would you like to give the viewers more surprises? "Absolutely. We try not to give as much away to make people excited about the stories, but then I always think about my mother as she hates it if she knows what happens! If she'd known what happened to Tina she would have been really upset! "We're grateful to the press when they do help us to keep things under wraps, and I hope that we can carry on doing it. There's no point in storytelling if everybody knows exactly what's going to happen." Last year's car stunt had a big impact on Nick. What's next for him? "Once we made the decision that Nick would suffer brain damage, to 'fix' him possibly even in a decade would be such an insult to people who have gone through that. The reality for most people who have suffered brain damage is that it affects them for the rest of their lives. For as long as I'm here, that will continue to be a part of Nick's life but it won't necessarily be negative. "Nick won't bang on about it and carry on stamping his feet - in fact he's going to find some new lust which takes him out of that for a while! He will be forgetful at times and perhaps be rubbish with numbers, but he'll learn to live with it with grace, dignity and good humour." We've seen more of Maddie's softer side recently - has that been a conscious decision? "It has been, but it's a difficult one because I don't want to lose what made her Maddie! She's still capable of being incredibly rash and impulsive. If she were ever in a position where she was defending Sophie, she would definitely go completely over the top. "However, Maddie is also not a stupid girl and she's got a lot to be grateful for. Now she's got something that she never thought she'd have - a home, a family, and someone who loves her. Of course there will be stories in the future where she messes up, but she never was an evil person. She was just overly gobby and she prefers to attack first because of that defensiveness within her character." Will Steve's depression be explored more? "That's going to be a massive story. It's going to run through the autumn and build up from there. On Christmas Day and beyond, we'll see a real challenge to Steve and Michelle's relationship. I absolutely know that Simon Gregson and Kym Marsh are very good actors. "I hope that the great comedy that Steve brings will absolutely be on screen for the next decade and onwards, but I also wanted to explore a story where Steve looked in the mirror on his 40th birthday and started to wonder whether he was really good enough for Michelle. He also blamed himself for Lloyd's heart attack and he feels guilty for his role in what happened to Tina. "Steve is taking a long, hard look at himself and he's not liking what he sees. It's going to run from there, and there will still be comedy in the lead-up as Steve tries to hide away from the demons in his head. Fundamentally what I wanted to do is tell what will hopefully be a really positive, uplifting love story between Michelle and Steve." http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s3...oNBmTNVEAfHVCE |

Thanks K9. ![]() Georgia May Foote films final scenes in February Quote:
Coronation Street star Georgia May Foote has discussed her impending exit from the show, adding that she will be filming her final scenes next February. Why do they announce exits so far in advance? More criticism of the writers who seem to be making it up as they go along. Rob's leaving in October so I don't why she made that comment.It was announced earlier this year that the actress will be leaving the soap, having played Katy Armstrong since 2010. Speaking to Inside Soap, Foote said: "I have just found out that I am filming my final scenes in February. "I'm not sure how I will be written out yet, but I have been told Katy won't be killed off. Mind you, the writers keep changing their mind, so who knows? I could end up being Rob's next victim. "I think there is going to be a lot of family drama in the lead-up to my departure, so I am preparing myself for a busy few months." http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s3...oO3uPzCUyf7VtO With Paula and Catherine both having their first babies, her exit looks a bit short sighted and premature. Monday 1st September: 7:30 Carla's taken aback when she hears that Peter is critically ill in hospital and admits to Rob she can't help feeling concerned for Peter despite everything he's done. Rob attempts to convince Carla that she'd be best to forget him. Ken calls in the factory and begs Carla to visit Peter, explaining it could be Peter's last wish. Meanwhile, Rob is left at Peter's bedside when Tracy heads off to a wedding fayre. But just as Rob talks to unconscious Peter, telling him that they're both bound for hell, Peter suddenly convulses and the medical team rush in. It's the day of Max's psychiatric assessment and Kylie is stressed, desperate to make a good impression. She flaps around tidying the house, but Max empties his toy box all over the floor and Kylie realises with horror that Michael's ankle tag is showing. Jason restarts Tyrone's loft conversion. Fiz confronts Tony, Jason and Todd and asks them to increase their offer as 1000 pounds compensation isn't enough to tide them over. Tony promises to look into it. Gail and Michael are loved up, having spent the night together. Steph is brittle towards Katy and admits she finds the idea of her brother and her best friend together too weird. 8:30 Peter is rushed to intensive care. Rob secretly hopes it's the end for Peter. While the Barlows nervously wait for news, Carla sets off on holiday but, shocked by this latest turn of events, will she do a u-turn and head for the hospital to visit Peter? Kylie's embarrassed when Max behaves badly in front of the psychiatrist, clearly unable to concentrate. The psychiatrist suggests she observes Max in school before making an assessment. Meanwhile, David confides in Gail that he's worried Kylie will want to contact Max's dad because of his condition. Under pressure from Fiz, Tony ups his offer of compensation to 2000 pounds. Tyrone reckons they should accept it but Fiz is less convinced. Luke and Katy continue to wind up Steph and insist she joins them for a romantic meal. Steph is clearly uncomfortable as they paw over each other. Will the pair admit it's all a wind up and they've decided to remain as friends and will Steph see the funny side? Steve frets over his lack of a cricket team, while Liz is intrigued to learn it was Jim who saved Peter's life by alerting the prison staff when he found Peter in a coma. Wednesday 3rd September: Carla visits Peter in hospital and is shocked at the state of him. But when Peter assures Carla that he knows she killed Tina, and will take her secret to the grave and accept the blame himself, Carla's stunned. Confiding in Michelle, Carla realises that if Peter didn't kill Tina then her murderer is still at large. It's the day of Max's classroom assessment but Kylie's mortified when the head teacher summons Kylie and David to school, explaining that Max vandalised school property and was totally out of control. Will her feelings of guilt then be compounded when she realises that in all the stress she's forgotten it's Max's birthday tomorrow! Having considered Tony's latest offer, Fiz tells Tyrone it isn't enough and they should push Tony for more. Meanwhile Tyrone's bemused when he sees Jason putting all the new flooring from the loft in a skip. Accusing Tracy of insensitivity, Ken says that while Peter's life is hanging by a thread she should cancel the wedding. Steve decides to visit Jim in prison and hear what he's got to say. Friday 5th September: 7:30 ony offers Fiz and Tyrone three grand by way of compensations and they accept, much to Jason's relief. But when Owen spots the old chipboard in a skip outside the house he tells the couple it was far too thin to be used for flooring and well below building regulations. The doctor tells Peter he's over the worst and should be ok but can never drink again. Rob attempts to mask his disappointment. When Carla then confides in him how Peter told her he assumed she killed Tina and therefore Peter couldn't possibly be the murderer, Rob's horrified. Kylie's subdued when Max is diagnosed with ADHD and prescribed pills. The Rovers cricket team head out for their first practice session. Steve's relieved when Kal's son Zeedan arrives and proves to be a brilliant cricketer. **reminds me of the memorable Rovers footie team** ![]() 8:30 Tyrone and Fiz burst into the builders' yard accusing Jason of using illegal flooring which meant Tyrone could have died. Jason feels terrible and weighed down with guilt he tries to explain to Tyrone how the sub-standard boarding was Todd's idea and he knew nothing about it. But Tyrone is incensed and tells Jason he'll be reporting him to the building inspector and he can kiss goodbye to his business. When Carla suggests telling the police what Peter said, Rob desperately tries to convince her she'd be wasting her time as Peter's mind was fuddled with drugs. Max plays with his birthday presents boisterously. David and Kylie give him his first batch of medication with trepidation. But when the drug kicks in and he becomes visibly calmer, Kylie's amazed. Beth and Kirk enlist Michelle's services as their wedding planner. Alya is appointed cricket captain. (Michelle the wedding planner WTF)http://www.corrie.net/kabin/gazette.html |

what a pile of nonsense. Max's dad didn't bother for all the time that he was small, that Kylie was fighting for custody or that Becky was trying to buy him, so he's not going to turn up for a small matter of ADHD.

"Fiz puts Tony under pressure for more compensation."
Fiz's attempts to steal from a dead old woman failed, and she was probably gutted she didn't get any of 'ayley's dosh, now it seems she is looking elsewhere. I don't feel anything for the character's plight. Wish she had fallen through the roof, and not awoken.

Yet again Simon should have run to his "Mum" Leanne when missing someone; and he really would not have got so close to Tina were it not for the plotline. sigh. The writers really have been unfair to Jane Danson.

Corrie stars talk to Inside Soap Quote:
In the glam photoshoots with some of the cast members are some storyline snippets and spoilers. So here we go! Soaplife Spoilers:Alison King (Carla Connor) says that she will miss both Marc Baylis (Rob) and Chris Gascoyne (Peter) when they leave later this year. She says she loves her scenes with David Neilson (Roy) and that Marc Baylis looks after everyone on set. "He looks after all of us on set, me, Kate Ford (Tracy) and Annie Kirkbride (Deirdre). He just keeps things really upbeat. I think he'll go on to do great things." She reveals that Carla is going to be gutted when she finds out that Rob killed Tina. Marc Baylis (Rob Donovan) says this about Rob and Tracy's upcoming wedding: "In true soap style there's a lot of stuff that happens in the week of the wedding. Ken's definitely suspicious of Rob so there's so much more material coming up between the two of them. Rob knows that if anyone is going to be his downfall, it'll be Ken. But that just makes him act even more suspicious around Ken!" Tisha Merry (Steph) says that she'd love for Steph's mum and dad to arrive on the Street. "But from what I've been told," she says, "the audience will soon see Steph in a different light." Georgia May Foote (Katy Armstrong) says that Katy won't be killed off and that she's filming her final scenes in February next year. Bruno Langley (Todd Grimshaw) says: "There's a big family feud coming up for the Grimshaws. I think it will be on screen in October and we're all working very hard on those scenes at the moment. There are also going to be some big changes for Todd. I think it'll be surprising, too." And Dean Fagan (Luke) says that Luke is going to be Maria's new man. http://coronationstreetupdates.blogs...medium=twitter Kylie: Viewers will watch in trepidation as Callum lures Kylie back into the life she left behind. And, while she might have escaped once before but she's on a downward spiral, facing major guilt, drugs and drug addiction issues, a return to a very dodgy past and a bad-lad former lover back on the scene. Expect nothing less than 'fireworks' on the cobbles! Sunday 7th September: hour-long from 7 Killer Rob panics when he fears the weapon from Tina's murder and other stolen goods are about to be discovered when he overhears Owen and Gary discussing a building job they're about to start at the very place he disposed of them. He panics and goes to the site to retrieve them. Rob is desperate to keep Carla and Ken apart and offers to drive Ken to the hospital to visit a recovering Peter but he's suddenly pulled over by the police with the murder weapon and stolen goods in his boot. Can he keep a lid on his fears? Jason tries to convince Tyrone not to get a solicitor involved. Exhausted Kylie's day disintegrates. It's the day of the cricket match and Zeedan makes it clear he doesn't like his dad's relationship with Leanne. Wednesday 10th September: Kylie's shattered and is riddled with guilt when she fears Max's condition is down to her. Even worse, she feels like an even bigger failure when Audrey praises Fiz's well-behaved children. Cross words between Tony and Fiz see Tyrone and Jason's conflict escalate. Andrea tells Neil to stop harassing her. There's a shock in store for Ken. Friday 12th September: An under-pressure Kylie is tempted down a slippery slope, will she succumb? There's more trouble for the Grimshaw family but what this time? Lloyd and Andrea's romantic meal out is spoilt by a surprise guest. Mary's jealous of Dev's new date. Michael opens up more to Gail. Amy continues her bratty behaviour. COMING UP: - There's more love stress for Lloyd. - Will Tyrone back down over his planned legal action against Jason? - Is Peter out of the woods? Is the booze and blackmail game up for Jim with Peter just a few doors away? |

Sunday 7 September
When Rob overhears Owen and Gary discussing a building job they're about to start at the very place where he disposed of the murder weapon and stolen goods, he panics. At the site, Rob attempts to retrieve the items. Back on the street, in a bid to stop Ken talking to Carla, Rob offers to drive Ken to the hospital to visit Peter. But when his car is pulled over by the police, with the murder weapon and stolen goods in the boot, Rob's heart is in his mouth. It's the day of the Rovers vs. The Flying Horse cricket match and Alya persuades Leanne to come along and support Kal. Zeedan's furious to see her there and makes his feelings clear. Leanne's hurt, while Kal's upset by his son's obvious disapproval. Kylie's exhausted. Audrey agrees to look after Max while she watches David at the cricket match but when she can't settle Lily, it's clear Kylie's on the edge. Jason tries to persuade Tyrone and Fiz not to get a solicitor involved but their minds are made up. Tracy strikes another dodgy deal with Tony. Neil ruins Lloyd and Andrea's romantic picnic. Wednesday 10 September Max's tablets seems to be working but Kylie fears it's her fault that Max has to take medication at all. At the salon, Kylie looks on jealously as Audrey commends Fiz on her well behaved girls, praising her parenting. Back at home, Kylie struggles with the salon accounts as Lily cries upstairs. Feeling the pressure, Kylie looks at Max's pills, tempted. Tyrone refuses to listen to Jason's apologies. Seeing he's upset, Eva urges Tony to speak to Tyrone and sort out the mess, as does an angry Eileen. Tony approaches Fiz but when she interprets his words as a threat, she storms off leaving Tyrone further incensed. Andrea's furious when she discovers Neil lied to her, telling her he hadn't heard from Jess and causing her to worry. Confronting Neil, Andrea tells him to stop hounding her. How will Ken react when he discovers Tracy and Rob are ploughing on with their wedding despite Peter's predicament? Friday 12 September 7:30 Having been up all night pouring over paperwork, Kylie's exhausted before she even starts her day at the salon. Struggling to concentrate, she heads out to get painkillers but, home alone, she picks up Max's pills and swallows two. When she returns to the salon looking much more together, David's pleased. In turmoil, Kylie confides in Eva that she's a terrible mother. Lloyd's put out to see Neil has placed an announcement in the Gazette celebrating his and Andrea's wedding anniversary. When Neil then arrives at the Bistro and parks himself at the table next to Lloyd and Andrea, she's at her wits end. Jason remains frosty towards Tony. Gutted, Tony pours his heart out to Eileen, explaining he only wants the best for Jason. Alya tells Julie it's obvious Dev fancies her. When Amy accidentally cuts her hand, she sees the opportunity for some attention and lies that Eccles bit her. 8:30 Eva tells Kylie she'll have to confess to David before he realises some of Max's pills are missing. Consumed with guilt, Kylie psyches herself up to confess but will she be able to bring herself to tell David the awful truth? Neil takes great delight in winding up Lloyd and Andrea over their meal. He even shows Lloyd photos of their previous wedding anniversaries. Will Lloyd be able to contain his anger? And will Andrea decide she needs to take more decisive action to get Neil out of their lives? Eileen urges Jason to make up with Tony, pointing out that, for all his faults, Tony does love him. Meanwhile, Todd seethes as both Jason and Tony make it clear they want nothing to do with him. Tracy tells Deirdre that Eccles should be put down for biting Amy. Simon's devastated. Mary's jealous as Dev and Julie enjoy a drink together. Michael opens up to Gail about his fragmented family. http://www.corrie.net/kabin/gazette.html |

, that is going to happen and it's going to be horrible for all of her family. The first response for parents in a situation like that would naturally be, 'Where have we gone wrong?', so that'll be the case for Anna, Owen and Tim.
WTF)
