Here, I've written the script so you don't have to watch it.
Steve and Michelle are having a happy conversation of smiles and plans. Steve's mobile rings. He goes 'into the back' to answer it.
When he comes back, his face is at gurn level 7. He tells Michelle his dad has got Plottus Contrivius, a genetic storyline disorder, and Michelle's perfectly perfect makeuped face drops and she looks all concerned.
--- End of Monday's 1st Episode --
At the start of ep 2, Michelle has nipped to the corner shop for a bag of crisps even though they sell them in the Rovers. She bumps into Leanne who is buying a sandwich even though she works in a bistro. Leanne asks her how she is and perfect Michelle starts to sob.
They go back to Leanne's for a brew and Michelle reveals all. Leanne looks shocked with an overtone of angry.
