JINXED Corrie bride Becky Granger spends her wedding night sobbing alone in a police cell when she is arrested for drug dealing.
The Rovers barmaid has been desperate to marry serial divorcee Steve McDonald since their first wedding was called off in April after she passed out drunk.
It’s almost second-time lucky for Becky when she makes it through the ceremony and finally gets Steve’s ring on her finger.
But the reception ends in disaster for the ex-bad girl as she is fitted up for a crime she hasn’t committed.
Bent copper Hooch is out for revenge after their paths crossed years ago when he arrested her for shoplifting. Becky later reported him to his superiors for asking her to perform a sex act on him.
Hooch has since been convinced she ruined his career. His resentment deepened when Steve got her off trumped-up charges last year by giving her a false alibi. Now, as wedding guests toast the happy couple back at the Rovers, the police burst in and raid the joint for drugs.
Hooch blackmails Becky’s old pal Slug to plant cocaine and cash in her bag. Cops find it and nick her.
Before locking her up for on her wedding night, Hooch tells her: “This is payback time, you slut. You and your big mouth have been a blot on my career all my working life.
“Today’s a big day for both of us but only I’m celebrating. You’re going down this time and I’ll make sure they throw away the key.”
The August episode ends with Becky crying alone in a cell wearing a stained wedding dress.
