"Gary confides in Anna that he's determined to try and make a go of it with Izzy for Jake's sake". Wow how romantic :/

"Gary confides in Anna that he's determined to try and make a go of it with Izzy for Jake's sake". Wow how romantic :/

Yes, very romantic -- NOT .... wrong reason on his part and will leave Izzy even more devastated again when it all goes wrong, which it will

[olivia1896]

i cant figure out if my "how romantic" sarcasm was understood

[livden]

So.. not much Todd and Billy (I mean as in a couple) scenes the week of August 1st. I love Todd and Sarah though, so those scenes will probably be very good. It's just.. I expected more Todd & Billy? Seems like the romantic stage of their relationship is already over? Like.. are we not gonna get any more romantic scenes of the two of them? I know there will be some "Tilly" considering Sean finds out about them, but well.. it still doesn't seem very romantic? Btw, I know we will get a few romantic scenes next week, but so far it looks bad for the week after? I also can't believe they are using Jason as a cheap plot point JUST so Callum's murderer can finally be revealed. I s2g if Jason dies. I'd like Jason to survive, so that either the original Jason can come back if he wants, or even a new actor playing Jason.. when the time is right, of course.

Monday (1)

As the Platts ready themselves for Kylie's funeral, Audrey worries that they shouldn't have let Max dictate the music and food. When Sarah calls in the flower shop and announces that she'll be attending the funeral, Todd is deeply concerned and points out how he has covered up for her for months by letting Tony take the rap.

Sarah is shocked to realise Todd thinks she murdered Callum and swears she didn't. Realising she is telling the truth, Todd wrongly assumes David to be the murderer.

Later, Billy conducts Kylie's funeral and Max delivers a heartfelt eulogy. As David heads to the graveside, he is incensed to see a wreath from Kylie's mates at the Dog & Gun. He kicks out at it angrily and Todd pulls him back. Todd turns on David, convinced that he killed Callum and warning him to watch his back.

Meanwhile, having taken a call from one of Jason's mates, Eileen is beside herself as she tells Todd that Jason's had an accident in Thailand and she needs to fly out as soon as possible.

Elsewhere, Billy promises Todd that once the funeral is out of the way, they'll break the news of their relationship to Sean. As Sean helps prepare The Rovers for Kylie's wake, Phelan calls in to tell him about Jason's accident and how Todd has gone to the funeral, leaving Eileen climbing the walls trying to find a flight. Sean promises to fetch Todd back.

Also, Norris explains to Rita and Tim his plans to have a clear out at home and sell his clutter online.


Monday (2)

Todd confronts David at the graveside, telling him that he lied about Tony and made out he was Callum's murderer to protect Sarah - but now he knows the truth. As the pair go nose-to-nose, Billy breaks it up and drags Todd away, pointing out that it's neither the time nor the place. As Billy consoles a distressed Todd, there's a moment of real tenderness between them, which is witnessed by a shocked Sean.

While the wake takes place in The Rovers, Todd and Sarah follow David to Number 8. Furious Todd lays into David, telling him how Jason is now in a hospital bed because he believed his dad to be a murderer when all along it was David.

Unable to stand it any longer, Sarah finally cracks and reveals that Callum's killer was Kylie. Todd is stunned. David begs Todd not to go the police about Kylie for the sake of Max and Lily, but Todd refuses to make any promises.

Meanwhile, Sean hurries away, devastated to realise that Billy and Todd are now together. In the vestry, Billy tells Sean how sorry he is for the hurt he's caused, but he and Todd are very much in love. Sean heads home, heartbroken.

Later, having booked her flight to Thailand, Eileen confides in Phelan how worried she is about Jason. They're interrupted by Sean, who is clearly upset and explains how he has found out that Billy and Todd are having an affair. Eileen feigns shock and hugs him while Phelan can barely disguise his contempt.

When Phelan suggests that Todd is to blame for the affair and describes him as poisonous, Eileen leaps to his defence and orders Phelan to leave.

Elsewhere, Macca grabs Gemma and drags her into the ginnel, where he threatens to beat her up if she doesn't retract her statement about Clayton. Suddenly Craig comes to her rescue and pulls Macca off her. Macca does a runner and Craig phones the police. Gemma thanks Craig for stepping in when he did and calls him a hero.


Wednesday

Worried that David will do something stupid, Sarah begs him not to go after Todd and promises that she'll talk him round. Sarah then finds Todd about to set off in Phelan's van. Todd tells her that he's going to the police station and she can't stop him.

Outside the police station, Sarah begs Todd to hear her side of the story. Reliving that fateful night, she explains how Callum was going to kill her but Kylie stepped in and saved her life. Sarah implores Todd to bury the truth for the sake of Max and Lily. Will Todd agree?

At the same time, a vulnerable David sits by Kylie's grave and admits that he's struggling to keep his anger in check.

Meanwhile, Michael finds Eileen in the cab office clearly upset. She explains that she's worried about Jason and she has fallen out with Phelan. Eileen reveals to Michael how Phelan said some hateful things about Todd. Michael explains that Phelan feels threatened by Todd as Todd can see through him.

Later, Eileen is thrilled when Jason phones from a Thai hospital and explains that he was drunk and fell off a wall but he's on the mend. Handing her some flowers by way of an apology, Phelan tells Eileen he loves her. Will Eileen forget his harsh words?

Elsewhere, Nick takes Max to the Bistro for the takeaway of his choice and is taken aback to find the place in complete chaos. Steph explains that they're short staffed. At the end of her tether, Steph announces that she's taking a break whether Robert likes it or not. Knocking back the wine, stressed-out Robert promises Steph he'll sort it and hire some more staff.

Also today, determined to give Kylie a fitting send off, Freddie and Gemma put some upbeat tunes on the jukebox and enjoy a dance. Audrey watches Freddie admiringly. Later, Ken is left out in the cold when Audrey and Freddie share a tentative kiss.

Finally, Beth is overcome with pride when Craig describes his ordeal with Macca but worries when he tells her that it's made him realise he'd like to join the police.


Friday (1)

When Sean makes bitchy remarks at Todd over the breakfast table, Phelan orders him to stop wallowing in self pity, pointing out that Eileen has got enough on her plate. Phelan goads Sean and makes out Billy spent the night with Todd at Number 11 but did a runner before breakfast to avoid him. Sean seethes, while Phelan is quietly pleased with himself.

Later, Sean returns home and is incensed to find Todd and Billy enjoying a brew on the sofa. He rails at them, accusing them of carrying on under his roof. Turning to Eileen, Sean tells her that she'll have to choose who she wants to live with. Phelan is secretly delighted to see his plan coming together.

Meanwhile, Gary suggests to Anna that perhaps he and Izzy could try again for Jake's sake. Anna tells him he's fooling himself and he needs to be honest with her.

Elsewhere, Zeedan arrives for work to find Robert hungover and dishevelled, clearly having spent the night in the Bistro. Hoping to get her on board, Nick tells Leanne his plans for them to set up in direct competition with the Bistro and poach Robert's staff. Realising Nick simply wants to wage a hate campaign against Robert, Leanne tells him to forget it. Later, Leanne admits to Eva that if she weren't pregnant then she'd consider getting back with Nick.

Also, when Phelan's dodgy mate Vinny wonders if he'd like to invest in his latest scam involving a church conversion, Phelan is only too keen. Thinking of Jason's money, he offers him £80,000. Scheming Phelan tells Eileen that he's found the perfect investment for Jason's cash. However, when Eileen reveals she has already invested £15,000 in an ISA and she's not interested in investing the rest at the moment as her main concern is Jason's health, Phelan is quietly furious.

Finally Luke invites David for a game of darts following pressure from Maria, while Aidan suggests to Eva they get a takeaway and have a romantic night in.


Friday (2)

As an emotional Sean pushes Eileen to choose between them, Phelan stokes the fire by pointing out that blood is thicker than water. Eileen assures Sean that she loves him like a son and persuades him to come home.

Having returned to Number 11, Eileen suggests to Sean and Todd they put the past behind them and try to move on. However, when Phelan lets slip that Eileen knew about Todd and Billy's relationship and chose to keep quiet, Sean is upset and leaves Number 11. Eileen feels terrible, while Todd clocks Phelan's triumphant smile.

Sean arrives in The Rovers with his bags and tearfully explains to Steve how he's been betrayed. Steve offers Sean the sofa for the night. Later, Phelan and Todd see Eileen off on her trip to Thailand. Todd tells Phelan he's got the measure of him and knows he levered Sean out on purpose. But will Phelan be fazed?

Meanwhile, Gary confides in Anna that he's determined to try and make a go of it with Izzy for Jake's sake. Anna despairs, while Faye is thrilled to hear they're back together.

Elsewhere, Nick calls in the Bistro and is pleased to see that the place is a shambles with Steph, Andy and Zeedan run ragged and Robert barely able to cope. Aware of the strain they're all under, Robert promises Steph, Andy and Zeedan that he'll sort them out with a bonus, but the staff remain underwhelmed.

Also, Sarah calls in the gym looking for Bethany. Gary insists on showing her round and suggests she should join so she can spend more time with her daughter.

Finally, Aidan and Eva cosy up for a night on the sofa but their evening is cut short by the return of Kate and Sophie. Grabbing a bottle of wine, Aidan suggests to Eva they head up to his bedroom, but his plans are thwarted when tearful Sean emerges from the Rovers back room and launches himself at Eva.
