It’s the morning of Claire’s (Julia Haworth) charity fete but what starts out as a fun filled family day turns out to be more dramatic than any of the residents could ever have imagined.
Claire’s in her element as she rushes round organising all the stalls. But as she gets caught up in the excitement of her fundraising she hasn’t got time to listen to Joshua (Benjamin Beresford) when he complains his mouth hurts. Little does she know that Joshua has swallowed a bee. As he suffers a severe case of anaphylactic shock he collapses in front of Janice (Vicky Entwistle).

Meanwhile Norris (Malcolm Hebden) refuses to join Emily (Eileen Derbyshire) and Rita (Barbara Knox) as they run the cakes stall and sits alone at home. However he’s disturbed by a knock on the door from the police. They reveal that Ramsay died on the flight to Australia. As Norris sits alone in shock Emily admits to Rita how much Ramsay meant to her. It’s clear the news is going to have a big impact on them both.

Elsewhere Kevin (Michael LeVell) and Molly (Vicky Binns) take part in the charity race. Sophie’s (Brooke Vincent) there to cheer Kevin on but Molly’s left without a supporter when Tyrone (Alan Halsall) gets called out on a break-down. Will he get back in time to see her cross the finish line or will she end up in Kevin‘s arms?

Janice (Vicky Entwistle) can see Joshua’s (Benjamin Beresford) life is in danger and acting quickly she puts her first aid skills into practice placing him in the recovery position and telling Ashley (Steven Arnold) to phone for an ambulance. As he’s rushed to hospital, Ashley and Claire (Julia Haworth) pray that Janice has done enough to save Josh’s life.

Elsewhere Rita (Barbara Knox) breaks the terrible news to Emily (Eileen Derbyshire) that Ramsay is dead. Emily’s visibly shaken, especially when she discovers he had a brain tumour and knew he was dying. As it becomes clear Ramsay wanted to make up with Norris before his death Norris (Malcolm Hebden) pretends he doesn’t care but Emily loses her temper and lets rip at Norris, telling exactly what she thinks of both him and Ramsay. Battling his emotions Norris heads to his mother’s grave where he finds flowers laid by his dead brother.

Kevin (Michael Le Vell) and Molly (Vicky Binns) finish their race. Sophie (Brooke Vincent) congratulates her dad before heading off to the fete. Tyrone hasn’t made it and left alone Kevin and Molly can’t resist each other. Unable to suppress their passion they head to a hotel room where they admit this is what they both want.

Back at the fete Teresa (Karen Henthorn) and Umed (Harish Patel) embark upon a ‘curry challenge’. Graeme (Craig Gazey) wins the raffle and returns the Ricky Hatton signed boxing gloves to Ashley.

Jack (William Tarmey) meanwhile is feeling more and more in the way at number 9 as Molly and Tyrone bicker and tells the couple he intends to move out. Tyrone’s upset but Molly ruefully states that you can’t prevent someone from doing what they want.

After thanking Janice (Vicky Entwistle) for helping save Joshua’s life Ashley (Steven Arnold) decides it’s time he came clean to Claire (Julia Haworth) about the vasectomy. Plucking up the courage he tells Claire he didn’t go through with the operation. How will she react?

Friday 4 September [1]

Steve (Simon Gregson) goes chasing a drug-dealer whom Becky (Katherine Kelly) thinks may lead him to Slug. Liz (Beverley Callard) disapproves, and while Becky resolves to enjoy what freedom she has left with Steve, Liz makes it clear it’s no life being married to a prisoner.
When she then overhears Liz and Deirdre (Anne Kirkbride) talking about the effect her imprisonment would have on Steve and Amy, Becky decides to take action. Steve is stunned to find a note from Becky revealing she‘s gone.

Sally (Sally Whittaker) plans a surprise dinner party for Kevin’s (Michael Le Vell) belated birthday celebrations. An uneasy Molly (Vicky Binns) is roped in to help with the food, while Tyrone (Alan Halsall) keeps Kevin occupied. But unable to bear the awkwardness Molly warns Kevin about his surprise. Kevin’s barely able to hide his discomfort as he’s greeted by Sally, the Dobbs and the bickering Peacocks.

Emily’s (Eileen Derbyshire) upset that Ramsay’s cremation will take place in Australia as she‘s desperate to pay her respects to the man she‘d grown so fond of. Rita (Barbara Knox) tackles Norris (Malcolm Hebden), suggesting the arrangements could be changed. Will Norris back down and let go of his emotions?.

Elsewhere Claire’s (Julia Haworth) still angry with Ashley (Steven Arnold), believing he refused the vasectomy in case he ever wants children with another woman. Connie (Rita May) suggests Jack (William Tarmey) move in with her. Will he accept her offer?

Friday 4 September [2]

Kevin’s (Michael Le Vell) surprise dinner party is underway but it quickly turns into the night from hell as all three couples use the evening to vent their frustrations over their marriages.

Claire (Julia Haworth) gets drunk and snipes at Ashley (Steven Arnold) over his non vasectomy, while Sally (Sally Whittaker) constantly makes jokes at Kevin’s expense. Unable to bear the tension Molly (Vicky Binns) finally snaps and accuses Sally of being downright nasty. Tyrone’s (Alan Halsall) stunned by her increasingly irrational behaviour but Kevin knows what’s behind it and holding his breath he waits to see if Molly is about to reveal all about their affair. Claire meanwhile tells Ashley she’s banning sex with immediate effect.

As a frantic Steve (Simon Gregson) searches for Becky (Katherine Kelly), she phones the Croppers to say goodbye. Realising she’s about to do a runner Roy (David Neilson) correctly guesses she is at the coach station and Steve races down there. But as he arrives at the station he spots Becky boarding a bus. Steve pleads with her to come home, insisting that by leaving she will be breaking his heart. But has he got to her in time?

In the pub, Peter (Chirs Gascoyne) chats up an attractive woman, Naomi. All is going well until he overhears Janice on the phone to Leanne. Is he really ready to move on?

And Jack’s (William Tarmey) in a sombre mood as he celebrates Vera’s birthday by pouring her a sherry. Is he really prepared to say goodbye to Coronation Street?

We've got some great news for all you Carla Gordon fans.

Actress Alison King, who plays the formidable business-woman, is back on set.

It's her first day back today after giving birth to her daughter Daisy Mae.

Carla will be back on-screen initially from the 16th to the 23rd October. She then makes a full reappearence from 23rd Nov onwards.

A show insider said: "It's great to have Alison back on set. A lot has gone on since Carla's disappearance and with Tony and Maria now a couple, it looks set to be a explosive conclusion to what has been a very dramatic storyline."

We last saw Carla speeding away from the Street in her car after Tony confessed to her that he'd killed Liam.

We can't wait to see how the story will unfold.

We'll let you know when we have the first pics of Alison on set.

[BigSister]

Indeed, it'd be cool if her first reapperance was in LA (on a set lol)

We've spoken to Corrie bosses following reports that Boyzone star Keith Duffy is making a comeback to the show.

We can confirm that Keith, who played Irish hunk Ciaran McCarthy, has been in talks with producers, but no decision has yet been made about a return to the Street.

A Corrie spokesman said: "He has been in the building and met with the producer Kim Crowther about three weeks ago, but nothing has been decided as yet."

A national tabloid newspaper has reported that everything is in place for Keith to return.

We'll let you know if and when a contract is signed.

[BigSister]

Oooh, there's a shock spoiler in The Daily Star today as they reckon that Tony Gordon is going to confess all - to Roy Cropper.

The paper says that Tony reveals everything to Roy after a health scare leaves him determined to come clean about his sins. And Roy will be by Tony’s side when he collapses and is rushed to hospital. Tony says to Roy: “You’re a good man Roy Cropper. So I need to make a confession to you. I killed him Roy‚ I killed Liam, I killed Liam!”

Roy begs Tony to tell the police. But we'll have to wait and see whether Tony does the right thing or if Roy turns him in.

Actor Robert Beck has returned to filming with Coronation Street for another short stint with the ITV soap, Digital Spy can exclusively reveal.

The 39-year-old - who is married to co-star Jane Danson, Leanne Battersby in the series - reprises his role as Tony Gordon's (Gray O'Brien) henchman Jimmy Dockerson towards the end of October as part of Carla Gordon's (Alison King) return plot.

Details surrounding Jimmy's comeback are being kept under wraps, but he was spotted filming last night on location with King, who returned to work earlier this week after maternity leave.

A Corrie source told DS: "With Carla back on the scene, Tony starts to panic as she's the only one who could expose his murderous ways.

"Tony's already used Jimmy to kill Liam and subsequently enlisted his help to put the frighteners on Jed Stone, so why's Jimmy back this time?"

They added: "Carla had best watch her back as Tony will go to whatever lengths to ensure people disappear for good."

In February, Beck and Danson were celebrating the birth of their second child Sam Alfie Robert.

They have another son called Harry Alexander Jack who was born in July 2006.
