Corrie weekly updates from 1995 Coronation Street Books by Glenda Young August 4 2018 It’s Johnny Connor’s 65th birthday but the OAP has more on his mind than his free bus pass. He’s got Aidan’s inquest to attend, an upsetting experience for the whole Connor clan. Eva walks into the inquest and gives a tearful testimony before finally leaving the Street in a cab with baby Susie in her arms and tears in her eyes. Adam stays behind, only too aware that Eva’s heart still lies with Aidan. I’ll miss Eva, I liked her a lot and can only hope that one day she’ll return. Meanwhile in the Rovers, Gemma and Henry are allowed to run the place again as a test to see if they can manage if they buy the pub. But Gemma orders too many bottles of Dubonnet and it comes in by the box load. Cue the cut-price cocktails called Uber-Duber resulting in a clash on the karaoke, and a fight in the pub. The till might have been ringing but as Leanne rightly pointed out: Half-price drinks equal half-price profits. Gemma also moots the idea of a vegetarian hot-pot – a not pot. David follows Josh to a pub and stalks him. He knows that Josh is meeting with a young man and David is scared that Josh might try to rape him in the same way as he drugged and raped David. But Billy follows David and finds out what’s going on. He warns the lad away from Josh but later word reaches Weatherfield that Josh has been beaten up and is in intensive care. David gets into the private room where Josh is lying connected to tubes and machines and air and there’s a bit of a moment where you wonder if David really would pull out the plug on a life support machine, but he doesn’t in the end. Over at Underworld, Daniel brings in a bag of second hand clothes he’s bought to stock Sinead’s vintage clothes shop. But there are moths in the bag and they start laying their eggs on Underworld material. Alya’s not best pleased, as you can imagine, and has to bring in the pest control man. If only he could have rid the place of nasty Mr Hanlon, the biggest pest of all, while he was there. Anyway, the vintage clothes shop idea has gone now that Sinead’s pregnant. Daniel tells Brian that he and Cathy can have the shop if they want it but Brian declines the offer and sets to earning a living as a childminder, staring with young Joseph, Chesney’s son. And that’s just about that for this week.
