Jenny Connor and Daisy Midgeley have been hiding a secret about how they got the Rovers Return back at the end of last year and next week in Coronation Street, the truth will out.
As viewers of the ITV soap know, serial killer Stephen Reid held Jenny and his own niece Sarah Barlow hostage in the beloved pub before he was mowed down and killed by Peter Barlow in shock scenes aired in October. But the landlady later had her deadly, late ex-partner to thank for getting the Rovers back after Daisy located the money he had stolen from Underworld and used it to buy the pub back
Next week, as Daisy climbs out of Tim Metcalfe’s taxi with her shopping bags, Bethany reckons she must have spent a fortune but Daisy snaps that it’s all from the charity shops in Alderley Edge. In the Rovers, an intrigued Bethany Platt overhears Jenny tearing a strip off Daisy for spending so much money on her shopping spree and points out that they need to keep a low profile money-wise.
Tim soon lets slip that he picked Daisy up from the centre of Manchester and Bethany realises she was lying. Is Bethany coming close to uncovering the truth about Daisy?
Later, determined to get on better with Daisy, Bethany tells Daniel Osbourne she’s going to call in and see if she needs help preparing for their dinner tonight. In the Rovers, Bethany persuades a reluctant Daisy to let her help with the cooking but whilst Daisy’s distracted, Bethany turns the oven up on the apple pie.
Having discovered the apple pie burnt to a crisp, Daisy heads out to buy a replacement leaving Bethany and Ryan to prepare the evening meal. When Jenny calls Ryan through to the bar, Bethany seizes the opportunity to rifle through drawers, stuffs something in her handbag and hurries out.
In the café, Jenny masks her panic as Carla Barlowmakes a dig about Bethany’s accusations. In the Rovers, a stressed Jenny tells Daisy they need to find a way to pay the money back to Carla without her finding out but Daisy reckons they should just keep quiet.
With the karaoke night in full flow, Sally Metcalfe admires Daisy’s new designer bag. However, as Jenny berates Daisy for flaunting her wealth, she fails to realise her words can be heard over the microphone. As Ryan Connor steps in to calm the situation, Carla clocks the tension.
Carla then finds a visibly upset Jenny in Victoria Garden and when Carla quizzes her about Bethany’s suspicions over Stephen’s money, Jenny crumples and admits that they took it but had every intention of paying it back. Will Carla be able to forgive Jenny?
