Corrie Spoilers 27th - 31st January 2014

[alan45]

Over on Coronation Street, Sophie Webster pays more visits to the homeless shelter as she grows closer to newcomer Maddie Heath.

As we've previously reported, mischievous Maddie (Amy Kelly) will soon break into the Websters' home in an attempt to steal back Sally's watch after Sophie tricks her into handing it over.

Maddie's burglary attempt sees her punch Tim Metcalfe when he catches her in the act, but he later lies to everyone by claiming that the intruder was a burly man.

Sophie (Brooke Vincent) rightly suspects that Tim is lying to cover his embarrassment, so she confronts Maddie about being the real culprit.

Maddie is impressed by Sophie's detective work and their previously-tense relationship takes a surprising turn when she remarks on how pretty Sophie is.

Sophie sees another side to Maddie when she explains the reasoning behind her criminal acts, revealing that she needs the money to help her little brother, who's even worse off than she is.

A few days later, Sophie heads back to the shelter and is concerned to find that Maddie is sporting a bruised face.

Maddie is nervous about Sophie asking too many questions about her background and dashes off, but when Sophie chases after her, will she get more than she bargained for?








Coronation Street airs these scenes on Friday, January 31 at 7.30pm on ITV.

Has Sophie not learnt from the years that her stints in the shelter lead to robberies and trouble. I can't even remember the story last time. I think it was a robbery at the shelter and then Kevin helped with the lottery money. I hav'nt got a good memory. Now her house is being targeted.

Coronation Street's Roy Cropper is forced to be honest with Fiz Stape in tonight's double bill (January 27) as she demands answers over Hayley's death.

Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) already has an inkling that there was more to Hayley's final day than met the eye, and her suspicions escalate when she realises that Anna and Carla are both hiding something from her.

Paying a visit to Roy (David Neilson) at the café, Fiz urges him to talk her through Hayley's final hours, wanting to know exactly what happened.

When an emotional Roy realises that Fiz isn't going to let this go, he reluctantly reveals that Hayley ended her own life. How will Fiz feel about Roy hiding this crucial information from her?

Is the implication that people should not volunteer to help at shelters?

After all the tears Roy is left alone with a few facts: Hayley is dead, she killed herself, he didn’t stop her and he can’t tell anyone. So in emotional turmoil, the funeral is going to be tough, to put it mildly.

And things aren’t made easier when Fiz overhears him talking to Anna about the final moments and begins to suspect. She confides her fears with the already clued up Carla and realises she’s right. From that moment she’s set on a course to confront Roy.

When he cracks and admits what Hayley did, Fiz is furious at being lied to and the pair end up having a rare argument at the point where Roy needs her most.



Roy is trying to hold it together to sort out the funeral but can’t help venting his feelings, exploding about the precision of the event and how it all has to be up to Hayley’s standards. It’s clear he’s furious with Hayley. This – and Tyrone – shakes Fiz into realising that she has to stand by Roy, even as he’s deciding to boycott the funeral.

Carla talks him round and soon they’re at the service listening to Fiz giving a moving speech about Hayley. But then it’s Roy’s turn. Can he actually make it through? Or will he tell the crowd what happened and why they shouldn’t be sad?

I can't believe some of the post on here.

its a soap. its a brilliant TV show but criticising it for "not being 100% true to life" and implying that somehow its going to put people off volunterring, or make them take their own life is a little bit OTT in my opinion.
