-Kevin- Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Monday, 19 October 2009, 7:30PM - 8:00PM Tonight's episode kicks off a dramatic and compelling week's viewing for Coronation Street fans as Carla returns to Weatherfield and time starts to run out for Tony Gordon... It is the day of baby Liam's christening and after a difficult start to the day an uneasy truce is called between the Connors and Maria (Samia Smith) and Tony (Gray O'Brien). Helen (Dearblah Molloy) is touched and grateful when Maria relents and dresses Liam in the family christening gown. As the family settle down for lunch Tony poposes a toast but is interrupted by a phone call. Clearly unsettled by the call Tony tells Maria and the Connors that he has to go to an emergency meeting but assures them he'll be back in time to leave for the christening. Leaving the house Tony heads straight for the cemetery and Liam's grave where Carla (Alison King) is waiting for him!! Elsewhere on the street Luke (Craig Kelly) is also keeping secrets as he furtively packs a bag. An unsupecting Rosie (Helen Flanagan) heads off to Underworld with him full of ideas about the changes she will make now that she is the majority shareholder - Luke strings her along whilst secretly deleting his computer files and planning his escape, but what exactly is he up to? Pam (Kate Anthony) has been debt collecting for Bill (Peter Armitage) but he's less than impressed when she returns with a boat from one customer in lieu of payment. Joe (Reece Dinsdale) however is quite taken with it. This episode is written by John Kerr and produced by Kim Crowther, the director is Duncan Foster. *** PI for the rest of the week Monday 19 October [2] A stunned Tony (Gray O'Brien) takes in Carla's threatening demeanor at the graveside. It is clear she is here for a reason. She calmly tells Tony that he has overstepped the mark setting up home with Maria and the baby and that he has to end it now, sell her his shares in Underworld and leave Weatherfield for good - or she will tell the police everything. Tony's pleas that he loves Maria cut no ice with Carla (Alison King) and she makes it clear she means every word she has said. Meanwhile back on the street Maria (Samia Smith) and the Connors are enjoying their pre christening lunch oblivious to the drama unfolding at the cemetery. Carla's return has also had a knock on effect at Underworld as it starts to become clear to Rosie (Helen Flanagan) that Luke has been less than honest with her. Realising he has sold her shares that he no longer owns she tries desperately to cancel the cheque - but too late, Luke has cleaned her out and disappeared without a trace! Elsewhere Gail (Helen Worth)is furious when Joe (Reece Dinsdale) returns home with a boat and Emily (Eileen Derbyshire) finds out Freda (Alil Briggs) has lost her job and her home. This episode is written by Jonathan Harvey and produced by Kim Crowther, the director is Duncan Foster. *** Thursday 22 October Rosie's (Helen Flanagan) crisis over Luke's fraud proves the perfect cover for Tony (Gray O'Brien) as he struggles to come to terms with Carla's ultimatum. Telling Maria (Samia Smith) he has been caught up with Rosie's problems he arrives at the house in the nick of time just as the christening party are preparing to leave. As they arrive at the church Tony gets a text and notices Carla (Alison King) sitting in a car nearby. Unnerved he approaches and she tells him that if he goes through with being godfather she will march into the church and spill the beans to the congregation. Tony begs her to wait until after the service for Maria's sake and promises he will meet her afterwards to sign over his shares. But as she agrees and leaves Tony makes a phone call - what is he planning? Meanwhile Sally (Sally Whittaker) and Kevin (Michael Le Vell) console a devastated Rosie as she comes to terms with the fact that she has lost everything. Kevin tells her to go to the police but can't help but wonder if it is a blessing in disguise as Stape's money has caused nothing but problems. It's Molly's (Vicky Binns) birthday and Tyrone (Alan Halsall) has arranged for Jack (William Tarmey) and Connie (Rita May) to join them at the Rovers - Molly is thrilled to see them and delighted with her presents - until Tyrone surprises her with his gift! This episode is written by Martin Allen and produced by Kim Crowther, the director is Duncan Foster. *** Friday 23 October [1] Having held up the christening Tony (Gray O'Brien) finally arrives but no sooner have proceedings started than his phone goes and he hot foots it out of the church once more. This time however it isn't Carla waiting for him, but Jimmy (Robert Beck), and Tony has the upper hand. Just as Carla had threatened him with the police Tony tells an agitated Jimmy that the time has come for him to get rid of Carla once and for all otherwise he'll have no choice but to tell the police everything. Realising Tony is not making idle threats Jimmy agrees. Back in the Church Tony takes his place beside Maria and prepares to renounce evil - knowing all the while that he has just signed Carla's death warrant! Elsewhere Molly (Vicky Binns) explains to Kevin (Michael Le Vell) that Tyrone's gift of a home gym is going to make it very difficult for her to sneak off to the motel. Norris (Malcolm Hebdon) is less than pleased with the noise Joe (Reece Dinsdale) is making working on his boat but Gail (Helen Worth) sticks up for Joe despite not being best impressed with the boat herself. This episode is written by Chris Fewtrell and produced by Kim Crowther, the director is Duncan Foster. *** Friday 23 October [2] As Carla (Alison King) waits at the factory for Tony (Gray O'Brien) she hears a noise and, unnerved, leaves and heads back to her flat. Taking a call from her Tony realises his plans are unravelling and tells Jimmy (Robert Beck) to make his way to her flat. But as the clock ticks Tony starts to have second thoughts about having Carla killed and tries desperately to get hold of Jimmy and call off the hit. Tension builds in this final episode of the week as Tony realises he has to try and get to Carla's flat before Jimmy but as Carla gets ready for bed she is confronted by the menacing figure of Jimmy and a struggle ensues. Meanwhile Tony has told Maria (Samia Smith) that he needs a breath of fresh air and he races to the flat - will he make it in time or will he have the blood of another murder victim on his hands? This episode is written by Simon Crowther and produced by Kim Crowther, the director is Duncan Foster. Ooh finally Corries getting some excitement again I only ever watched Corre for this storyline and haven't seen it since Carla left. These episodes will be brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
