Not long afterwards, Maria tells Sophie that Caz has packed her bags and left. Fearing what she might do, Maria enlists reluctant Sophie to help search for her.

Eileen, Phelan and Vinny are pleased when the planning committee confirms that the Calcutta Street development can proceed. Eileen is still blissfully unaware of Phelan's plot to fleece buyers. Eileen gives Todd the good news, but he remains cynical about the whole thing.
When Phelan tells Eileen that he's going home to call the architect to get the ball rolling, Todd gets suspicious and follows him. At Number 11, Phelan phones the architect and explains that his services are no longer required. He's alarmed when Todd walks in, having overheard the call. Todd accuses Phelan of running a scam, selling flats that will never be built. Can Phelan talk his way out of trouble?

Friday (2)
As Todd heads to The Rovers to inform Eileen of the scam, Phelan makes a panicked call to Vinny.

Todd is alarmed to find that Eileen has disappeared.
Vinny delivers Eileen to a waiting Phelan at the Calcutta Street site. Eileen is impressed by the scale of it and is also excited by the mystery when Phelan announces he's got a further surprise planned, packing her off in Vinny's car again.
Phelan returns to Number 11 alone and Todd demands to know where Eileen is. Assuring Todd she is safe, Phelan offers to cut him in on the deal. But before Todd can react to Phelan's offer, the police arrive to investigate his allegation of fraud and Eileen's disappearance. Todd is tense as an unruffled Phelan is taken away.

Digital Spy
Ok, now we have a problem!! Look's like Todd's going back to his bad ways again. I haven't brought the magazine but someone has put it up on their website and it looks like Inside Soap. The main headline is 'Cut Me In On Your Dirty Deal!' and the caption bit underneath it says 'When Billy dumps him, Todd goes back to his dark side and starts to work with Phelan, not against him'.
This could be Todd's way for finally getting Phelan, working with him, friends close enemies closerQuote:

I also hope that Todd really doesn't team up with Phelan and Vinny and is just playing them to show everyone their true colours as well as redeem himself in Billys eyes for being so stupid. I really don't think it is the end for them as they have so much potential and already a loyal fan base so Corrie would be stupid to pass on them! But Phelan, Vinny and Todd better watch out as they are all playing a dangerous cat and mouse game and like the TV mag stated there are a lot more dangerous and meaner people involved who want there money from Vinny...
No, Cathy will never be Hailey to Roy. And she should understand it. Surely she loved her husband as well. I think Roy wants to buy a new bed only because he wants to start a new chapter in his life. Also, I wouldn't like to sleep in the same bed /room where someone's wife died...?!
I wish billy and Todd would be history. Todd showed his true colours now..
Worst spoilers in the world. Breaking up the best couple this soap has ever had. GREAT JOB!
