I wish Roy would just tell messy Cathy to leave. Not looking forward to her (bound to be) moronic hints to Roy that they move into the master bedroom

Oh Maria!!!! You're a lovely girl but.....

Whats the betting that Michelle will lose her baby while Leanne's will be ok

Definitely.

Very hard on Kym Marsh if they choose that route!!

I have a feeling that MissHell will lose her baby and Leanne will give birth and give it to MissHell and Steve to bring up.
She will then leave the show.

http://metro.co.uk/2016/09/05/corona...-scam-6094476/ Pat Phelan is a man used to getting his own way and is usually so calm and composed as he goes about his crooked Coronation Street schemes – but things look set to spiral out of control as Todd Grimshaw uncovers his scam.



As Phelan arrives home, he calmly tells Todd that Eileen is safe before offering to cut him in on the scam. Their conversation is interrupted by the police who arrive and lead Phelan away for questioning over Todd’s report of a scam and Eileen’s disappearance.



http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2016-...huge-bombshell Craig's dad Darryl drops a huge bombshell

"Beth has done something that goes totally against everything that Craig believes in. This could cause turmoil in the family - this could break Kirk and Beth up, it could break Beth and Sinead up - anything could happen. It could tear the whole family apart."

Ooh this is looking interesting!!
Any guesses??
Mine is that it turns out Darryl is in prison because he's taken the rap for something Beth did at the time!! Perhaps she's closer to Tracy than we realised!!

Kate Oates the couple destroyer strikes again, this time it's Kirk and Beth.

How many are left? Tyrone and Fiz, Sally and Tim will be next.

Maria reveals that Aidan has got Caz an interview for a job at a local factory. A grateful Caz instinctively kisses her on the lips, but Maria is confused by the gesture.

At the same time, Kate is pleased when Aidan reveals that he's trying to find Caz a job to get rid of her. However, when Aidan's contact Vanessa interviews Caz and reveals that the job is based in Newcastle, Caz insists that she can't leave Weatherfield and turns down the offer.

As the day continues, Maria admits to Audrey and Sophie that Caz kissed her earlier. They fall about laughing, branding her 'a magnet for the gays'. However, Maria is mortified to find Caz has walked in and heard every word. Caz is humiliated and flees.

Not long afterwards, Maria tells Sophie that Caz has packed her bags and left. Fearing what she might do, Maria enlists reluctant Sophie to help search for her.

Meanwhile, Faye confides to Anna that she's written to Craig's dad in prison on his behalf. Anna is appalled and marches round to see Craig. Craig and Beth are furious to learn of Faye's interference and a row erupts, but they're interrupted when Sinead arrives with a letter for Craig. Craig tears it open and announces that his dad wants to see him. Beth is devastated by the news.

Elsewhere, Billy assures a sulky Todd that he'd like nothing more than to live together but it's just not possible. Later, as Billy and Todd join Sean's friends in The Rovers for a birthday drink, Billy gets a phone call from his bishop with some disturbing news.

Also today, Robert tasks Steph with overseeing a booking for a party of 20, while Sean is fed up on his 40th birthday.


8:30

Sophie and Maria track Caz down at a hostel. Maria persuades Caz to come home, then berates Aidan for tricking her about the Newcastle job. Maria also makes a dig about Aidan's honesty in front of Eva, leaving him unnerved.

Alone in the flat, Caz and Maria agree to forget about the kiss. Soon afterwards, Aidan tackles Maria about her earlier jibe in front of Eva. Maria agrees to drop it, but as Aidan warns her that Caz is trouble, she's clearly denying her burgeoning feelings for him.

Meanwhile, Beth forbids Craig from visiting his father, insisting that he's a liar and a criminal. Tim counsels Craig on the pros and cons of meeting his dad. Beth is relieved when Craig decides not to go, but he later has a changed of heart and books a prison visit after all.

After drowning his sorrows in the Bistro, Craig returns to Number 4 and throws up on the carpet. It's the last straw for Sally who demands Craig and his rat move out.

Elsewhere, Billy reveals that the bishop has received a complaint about Todd staying at the vicarage. Eva comforts Billy, but can't help glancing over at Sean. Following her gaze, Billy cottons on to her suspicions.

Having heard from Eva about how Sean tried to sabotage Todd's hotel surprise, irate Billy accuses him of snitching to the bishop. Sean's protestations of innocence fall on deaf ears and he quickly blames Eva for ruining his birthday.

Also, Steph begs Sean for his birthday cake after forgetting to arrange one for the Bistro booking, but Robert is furious when she promises him a free meal in return.

Wednesday 14th September 2016

Kirk finds Craig catching a bus to the prison and fails to convince him not to go. Soon afterwards, a nervous Craig meets his dad Darryl at the prison. They get along well, until the visit ends and Darryl quietly asks Craig to smuggle in some drugs next time.

Craig is shocked that Darryl is just using him and refuses, saying he's no rival for Beth's husband Kirk. Darryl retaliates, spitefully revealing some home truths about Beth. Back at home Craig confronts Beth, dropping a bombshell that threatens to blow the family apart...

Meanwhile, Billy orders Sean to retract his complaint to the bishop, but Sean continues to insist that he wasn't responsible. After a bitter slanging match, Sean's heartfelt words finally convince Billy that his accusation was false.

Later, the bishop informs Billy that since Todd's presence at the vicarage is causing disquiet among the congregation, he must leave. Billy is disgusted at the injustice of being unable to have a proper love life within the church.

Elsewhere, Alex spends the night on Roy's living room floor as the sofa is too lumpy. Roy agrees to review the sleeping arrangements, but Cathy is disappointed when Roy decides to purchase a sofa-bed for Alex, admitting to Anna that she'd love them to share a bed.

Also today, Andy is frustrated when Steph cancels a night out with him to impress Robert.


Friday 16th September 2016
7:30

Eileen, Phelan and Vinny are pleased when the planning committee confirms that the Calcutta Street development can proceed. Eileen is still blissfully unaware of Phelan's plot to fleece buyers. Eileen gives Todd the good news, but he remains cynical about the whole thing.

When Phelan tells Eileen that he's going home to call the architect to get the ball rolling, Todd gets suspicious and follows him. At Number 11, Phelan phones the architect and explains that his services are no longer required. He's alarmed when Todd walks in, having overheard the call. Todd accuses Phelan of running a scam, selling flats that will never be built. Can Phelan talk his way out of trouble?

Meanwhile, Kirk has spent the night on the sofa and can't believe how much Beth has lied to him. When Johnny ticks off Beth and Kirk for arriving late for work, Beth bursts into tears, leaving Johnny bemused and the factory girls speculating on the cause of Beth and Kirk's row.

Later, a miserable Kirk reveals the truth about Beth to a gobsmacked Maria. There's also another shock in store for Beth when her past catches up with her.

Elsewhere, Anna tackles Roy about sharing his bedroom with Cathy. Roy is reluctant, pointing out that it's Hayley's room too, but it's clear that Anna's words have had an effect. Cathy is puzzled when Roy offers to move into her bedroom, freeing up his for Alex.

Also, as Todd promises to move out, Billy resents having to compromise for the sake of his job. When Sarah jokes that Billy should be a social worker rather than a vicar, Billy is given food for thought. Billy shocks Todd by suggesting he might leave the church for him, but Todd is torn.

8:30

As Todd heads to The Rovers to inform Eileen of the scam, Phelan makes a panicked call to Vinny. Acting quickly, Vinny tips his pint over Eileen's mobile to render it useless then whisks her to his car, claiming Phelan has got a surprise lined up for her. Todd is alarmed to find that Eileen has disappeared.

Vinny delivers Eileen to a waiting Phelan at the Calcutta Street site. Eileen is impressed by the scale of it and is also excited by the mystery when Phelan announces he's got a further surprise planned, packing her off in Vinny's car again.

Phelan returns to Number 11 alone and Todd demands to know where Eileen is. Assuring Todd she is safe, Phelan offers to cut him in on the deal. But before Todd can react to Phelan's offer, the police arrive to investigate his allegation of fraud and Eileen's disappearance. Todd is tense as an unruffled Phelan is taken away.

Meanwhile, the factory girls discuss Beth's past. Kirk is gutted to realise that his marriage is based on lies, while Craig is adamant that she deserves to pay for all her deceit. Beth seeks comfort from Kirk but he says she's ruined everything. Kirk turns up on Maria's doorstep with his bags and breaks down in tears.

Elsewhere, when Roy reveals he's ordered a new double bed for them, Cathy is troubled to realise he doesn't want her in Hayley's old bed or her old room. Anna tries to cheer her up, but Cathy feels she'll always be second best to Hayley.

Also, Freddie enjoys a night out with Audrey but is shaken when his old friend Angelica rails at him for dating again so soon after Sadie's death.

~ One couple set a wedding date but are their hearts really in it?

Ooh, that's a good theory that could be interesting to see worked out.

My guess is that he's still married to Beth, hence the possibility that it could break up Beth and Kirk.

Todd messing things up with Billy and getting involved with Phelan's scheming makes me sad.

Why is Todd giving in to Phelan? Noooo!

The next weeks don't look great, I hate the way Kate Oates breaks up tonnes of couples: Beth and Kirk, it will be Steph and Andy soon, Roy and Cathy maybe? It's not entertaining to watch, we need some warmth which comes from solid relationships.

And Todd and Billy split too.

My guess is that Todd wants more info so he can bust Phelan's plans.

The only two she's leaving so far are the two I would split up!!
Ty/Fiz & Chesney/Sinead !!

http://metro.co.uk/2016/09/05/corona...mshaw-6094462/ Billy Mayhew is in for an unpleasant surprise in Coronation Street when the bishop tells him that he has received a complaint about Todd Grimshaw staying at the vicarage – and it prompts him to consider making a huge decision.

I reckon Beth's still married too.

Could the couple whose hearts aren't into getting married be Andy and Steph? We haven't seen much of them together recently.

I hope Todd's partnership with Phelan is a ruse. I'd hate to see him revert back to villainy.

Yeah I thought that too.

So not only have we got the revelation that Sharif Nazir has been seeing a woman for several years, now it will turn out Beth is secretly married. A bit much really.

Cathy

What is the matter with this revolting female?

She uses the fact that Alex isn't comfy on the couch to try and get Roy to sleep with her, (we really do need a vomit smiley), then when Roy doesn't take the hint gets rancid Anna to pile the pressure on

Not only does this despicable mess want to get her nasty nails into Roy's flesh, but she expects to do it in Hayley's room and bed, and is miffed when he doesn't want to She'll be demanding Roy digs out Hayley's red anorak for her to wear next

Monday 19th September 2016
7:30

Todd tells Billy that the police aren't taking him seriously over Phelan's scam, after he wrongly reported Eileen missing. Todd squares up to Phelan and vows to find proof of the building scam to give to the police. Phelan is unnerved by Todd's threats and phones Vinny to warn him.

Phelan calls Todd to invite him for a chat at the development site. However, when Phelan spots the contents of Vinny's holdall at the site, he is alarmed to realise the lengths to which Vinny is prepared to go to silence Todd...

Meanwhile, when Todd leaves his phone in The Rovers, Sean answers a call and is shocked when it's the bishop on the other end. What could it mean?

Elsewhere, Cathy promises to raise a £15,000 reservation fee so that Alex can move into one of the flats, despite Anna warning that it's bound be dodgy if Phelan is involved.

Also, Sonia suggests to Sharif that they should make the most of the empty house when they're left alone. Will Sharif be able to resist temptation?


Finally, Audrey rebukes Freddie for abandoning her in the middle of their date, while Beth begs Kirk to come home.



8:30

Billy is shocked to realise that Todd was the one who tipped off the bishop. Todd claims that he merely set Billy free from a religion that wouldn't accept the real him. Billy is furious and ends his relationship with Todd.

Later, Vinny and Phelan are gobsmacked when Todd turns up at the site and announces that he wants in on the deal, declaring that he's reverting to type following Billy's rejection. Back on the dark side, he'll happily fleece the neighbours - but he stipulates that Eileen and Jason mustn't lose a penny or he will scupper the project. Will Phelan and Vinny agree?

Meanwhile, Yasmeen drives Cathy to Alex's dad Nigel's house. But when Cathy knocks on the door, a hostile Nigel refuses to discuss Alex and slams it in her face.

Elsewhere, Sharif is guilt-ridden after sleeping with Sonia and it doesn't take long for Alya to notice their intimacy.

Also, Aidan is impressed by by Alya and Sinead's old sideline designs when he finds the drawings at Underworld, while Audrey tells Freddie they should just stay friends while he's still grieving.


Wednesday 21st September 2016

Cathy is preoccupied following recent events and Roy realises that she may have forgotten his birthday.

When Cathy returns to Nigel's house, she refuses to be fobbed off and forces her way inside. She rants at Nigel for deserting Alex as a child and scoffs at the measly allowance he sends. Nigel snaps and darkly suggests she looks into the source of the payments. Refusing to elaborate, Nigel throws Cathy out.

At the same time, realising Cathy really has forgotten, Anna, Alex and Ken arrange a party for Roy at the café, intending to let Cathy take the credit. However, when Cathy turns up, she's the one who's clearly surprised by the party taking place. Roy hides his hurt that she forgot his birthday.

Rattled by Nigel's words, Cathy rifles through Alex's bank statements. Cathy informs Yasmeen that Alex's allowance payments carry a strange reference, which have made her wonder whether Nigel is Alex's dad or not...

Meanwhile, Phelan coaches Todd in selling the vision of the new flats, supplying him with a glossy brochure to impress the punters. Todd is uncomfortable when Phelan gets him to target Alex. When he sees Billy watching with disapproval, a guilty Todd abandons his sales pitch. However, Phelan warns Todd that if their venture fails, it's Jason and Eileen who will lose out.

Elsewhere, Alya admits to Zeedan and Rana that she's worried about Sonia and Sharif flirting.

Also today, Alya is thrilled when Aidan expresses interest in reviving her sideline project, Kevin encourages Freddie to follow his heart when it comes to Audrey, while Mary offers to replace Todd in the flower shop.


Friday 23rd September 2016
7:30

When Nigel ignores her messages, a furious Cathy leaves Alex in charge of the café and storms out. Roy finds the café in chaos with Alex yelping in agony, having scalded his arm, and takes him to A&E.

Later at Nigel's house, Cathy bangs on the window, demanding the truth about Alex. As Cathy sits outside his house refusing to budge, Nigel caves and invites her inside. Cathy asks Nigel outright if Alex is his son. Will she get the answer she fears?

Meanwhile, Alya tells Sonia that she's outstayed her welcome at Number 6, but Sonia is shocked by her bluntness. When Sonia reveals that Alya seems to be onto them, Sharif decides it's time she moved out. Sensing his panic, a devious Sonia suggests he buys one of Phelan's flats for her.

Later, Sharif confronts Alya about her outburst. Alya is unrepentant, telling her granddad that Sonia clearly fancies him. Sharif's unnerved by how near she is to the truth and agrees to convince Yasmeen that buying a flat is a sound investment for them - and Sonia can rent somewhere else while it's being built.

Elsewhere, Aidan is impressed when Alya and Sinead excitedly outline their bespoke design ideas, but Johnny will take more convincing.

Also, Erica takes charge of Aadi and Asha for the day as Mary is busy at the florist's, but they vow to get Mary back when Erica is too strict.

Finally, Freddie is disappointed when Audrey turns down his invitation to lunch.


8:30

With the truth about Alex's paternity now out in the open, Cathy is in shock as Nigel explains how he found out he isn't Alex's father. He apologises to Cathy for keeping her in the dark.

Back at the cafe, Roy returns with Alex. Baffled by Cathy's foul mood, he demands to know why she walked out. As Cathy explains all to Roy, his calm approach doesn't help and she blasts Roy for his lack of understanding. As she storms upstairs, Roy feels like a stranger in his own home and glances sadly at a photo of Hayley.

Meanwhile, Yasmeen and Sharif inform Alya of their plan to invest in a flat and rent it to Sonia. Alya sneers at Sonia's manipulation and Yasmeen is confused by her rudeness.

When Alya refuses to drop her suspicions, Sharif lies and claims that he slept with Sonia once, years ago. A stunned Alya works out that Sharif is buying Sonia's silence by setting her up in a flat. Sharif admits it, but insists he loves Yasmeen and begs Alya not to betray his secret. Will she agree to keep quiet?

Elsewhere, when Alya's vintage designs impress a client, Aidan offers Alya and Sinead a £60 bonus each. Sinead is pleased but Alya furiously accuses Aidan of ripping her off.

Also, Freddie calls at the salon on his motorbike and asks Audrey to join him for a romantic country pub lunch.

Finally, Dev tells Mary that she's breaking the terms of her contract by letting Erica cover her duties.

Looks like Phelan and Vinnie won't have far to look to sell their non-existent flats - everyone on the cobbles seems to want one.

Could be an interesting week, but so much Cathy...
