Corrie Spoilers 20 - 24th October

20th October

Rosie's captor is revealed

A ravenous Rosie devours the food that he captor has brought her and demands to know when she is going to be released. A clearly troubled and guilt-ridden John Stape tells her that he can’t release her – he snatched her off the Street in a moment of anger and madness and now he doesn’t know what to do. He tells her about Sophie sending the postcard and Rosie is furious that her sister is hampering attempts to find her.

Back at the Websters', Sophie overhears her mum and dad talking and realises how much worse she has made things. She confesses to them about the postcard and they call the police so she can explain what she did – they are relieved that she is not in danger but angry that she added to their concern over Rosie.

Helen and Barry Connor arrive from Ireland and go straight to see Maria. They all start to make plans for the funeral but it's clear that everyone is still struggling to come to terms with Liam’s death.

Meanwhile, Carla talks to Leanne about Liam. Leanne thinks she should tell Tony the truth so she can grieve properly but Carla tells Leanne she loves Tony, just not in the same way that she loved Liam. Carla asks Leanne to go with her to the spot where Liam dies and Carla breaks down unaware that they have been followed and are being watched by an increasingly jealous and angry Tony.


22nd October

Tony offers his help with Liam's funeral


Rosie has convinced herself that John will release her today and she is furious when he arrives in the attic with food and magazines, clearly not intending to set her free any time soon. She hurls abuse and books at him as she tries to explain that he hasn’t had time to talk to Fiz because she is caught up with looking after Maria. Rosie takes in the shocking news of Liam’s death – her own predicament momentarily forgotten.

Maria’s parents have arrived from Cyprus but she can’t stop herself from having a go at them for not even coming to her wedding. The Connors discover that Liam’s body is being released on Friday so the funeral can be arranged.

Meanwhile, Tony is getting increasingly irritated by Carla’s grief and is finding it hard not to show his anger. He manages to cover up his true feelings however and is the picture of compassion as he offers Maria his help with the funeral arrangements.

Dev arranges a date with Tara but when Nina finds out about it she storms round to the shop and demands he cancel. Faced with no option, he reluctantly calls Tara and tells her the evening is off. Amber, meanwhile, is making progress with her relationship with Darryl.

Pam shares out the pot from the sale of the latest dodgy batch of merchandise and Tyrone is delighted to discover he has enough to put a deposit down on a wedding dress for Molly.

Elsewhere, Blanche persuades Deirdre to accompany her on the free holiday to France and Fiz books a surprise holiday for herself and John.


24th October

Rosie makes a break for freedom


John is subdued as Fiz talks excitedly about the holiday she has booked for them. She is getting irritated by his lack of interest and comments that his gran’s cat gets more attention than she does.

John heads off to his gran’s to 'feed the cat' again and Rosie tries once more to persuade him to let her go. He tells Rosie that he is going away on holiday so won’t be round for a few days. Terrified at being left completely alone, Rosie makes a mad dash for freedom – will she escape?

Carla still doesn’t want to go to work. Tony broaches the subject of the wedding and Carla tells him to just make the arrangements himself. He is irritated at having to run both businesses but Carla is oblivious to his anger. Liam’s parents arrange to go and see his body but Maria can’t bring herself to go with them. Carla asks if she can join then but Helen Connor is having none of it.

Blanche takes Deirdre along to the committee meeting to talk about the holiday to France. Deirdre is surprised to discover that the committee consists of just one person and she’s even more surprised to discover that she seems to have been signed up to be a carer on the trip. Has Blanche managed to get one over on Deirdre yet again?

Elsewhere, Molly is surprised to get a call asking her to go for a wedding dress fitting.


A frantic John is searching the house trying to find Rosie, who has hidden herself behind a door. She knows she has to try and escape and makes a run for the front door but John is too quick and catches her, dragging her back upstairs to the attic room. He takes her purse and leaves her sobbing locked in the room.

Before heading back home to Fiz, he goes to a dingy pub and hides her purse down the side of a seat for someone to find.

An emotional Carla leaves the Rovers after her dressing down from Helen Connor. She can’t face answering Tony’s calls and he is furious when she turns up late for the appointment with the vicar. But Carla has finally had enough and tells a shocked Tony that the wedding is off.

Molly confronts Tyrone about the wedding dress that she didn’t order. He confesses that he ordered it so she says she is going to take it back. Molly is concerned that Tyrone is letting Pam boss him around but he insists that he isn’t and asks her not to cancel the dress.

Dev tells Tara he has booked to take them out for a meal but she suggests they get a takeaway instead. Meanwhile, Amber has invited Darryl round thinking her dad will be out for the evening. How will Dev react when he finds out what is going on?

Elsewhere, Deirdre is furious with Blanche as her duties for the trip to France are explained and Ken gets a call from Peter to say that Lucy has died.
