Katy backs Martin into a corner

Katy (Lucy Jo Hudson) is feeling alone as she can’t even bring herself to tell her mum that she is pregnant. She packs her bags and prepares to leave Martin (Sean Wilson) but following an emotional heart to heart Martin admits that he reacted badly because he is scared of becoming a parent again at 36. Katy admits that she was wrong to trick Martin into becoming a dad but is adamant that she wants to keep their baby. Martin can’t hide the fact that he still loves his girlfriend. Will he be willing to keep the baby in order to keep Katy?

Charlie (Bill Ward) is pleased that business is booming and offers to take Shelley (Sally Lindsay) out for a celebratory meal. Meanwhile Dev (Jimmi Harkishin) isn’t quite so pleased about Charlie’s insurance scam and goes to the builders’ yard to confront him. Charlie is backed into a corner and pathetically reminds Dev that he risked his own life to save Dev and Sunita (Shobna Gulati). Dev isn’t impressed that Charlie thinks he’s got a hold over him and sacks him. Charlie is furious and blames innocent Shelley who is all dressed up and ready to go out. In his anger Charlie rips out Shelley’s earrings and throws them across the room.

Les (Bruce Jones) ends up in the doghouse as a mystery man arrives at his door telling him to stay away from his wife. Les is bewildered as to who the woman could be but makes the most of his new ‘stud’-like status by bragging in the cab office. Cilla (Wendi Peters) is less than impressed when she hears what he’s been up to and Les is relegated to the sofa until further notice!

Maria (Samia Ghadie) is invited to go on holiday with Jack (William Tarmey), Vera (Liz Dawn) and Tyrone (Alan Halsall), a prospect she clearly doesn’t relish. But even though she declines, Tyrone doesn’t get the hint that she isn’t happy in their relationship.

This episode of CORONATION STREET is written by Chris Parker , produced by Tony Wood and directed by Tracey Rooney . The executive producer is Carolyn Reynolds. It is a Granada Television production for ITV1.
