MARRY ME, Fiz!
Tyrone pops the question, then plans a big surprise…
It’s been a long time coming… This week, 10 years after they got together, Tyrone gets down on one knee and asks Fiz to be his wife.
The mechanic is inspired to make things official after he and Fiz face some awkward questions about their family background during a meeting with the school counsellor about Hope.
He’s a simple fella (in more ways than one sometimes), and Fiz could probably do without any more drama in her life right now, so it feels somewhat fitting that it’s a no-frills, heartfelt proposal at Roy’s Rolls.
‘Tyrone and Fiz have an unbelievable history,’ says actor Alan Halsall. ‘They’ve got years together, they’ve been through so many things, and he recognises that she is his soulmate.’
The couple are celebrating when they’re interrupted by the arrival of the journalist behind the John Stape book. Apologising for all the agg he has caused, he hands Fiz his research material, and explains he wants her to have it so it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands. Grateful Fiz takes it off him, and asks Chesney to hide it at his place. Why doesn’t she just burn it? Hope must have a few matches going spare. Well, that would get in the way of a good story.
Over at No.5, Gemma shoves the documents in a kitchen cupboard, and it’s fairly obvious what’s going to happen when
Hope, Sam and Joseph later conduct a seance. As they’re ‘contacting’ John Stape, Joseph reaches into the cupboard to get some biccies. Everything tumbles out, and the youngsters are petrified as John’s photo stares up at them.
It’s Hope’s birthday the next day, but the youngster is preoccupied with getting hold of a cassette recorder to play a tape she has found among the papers.
She should ask Tracy Barlow – she spent most of her childhood playing tapes in her room.
Fiz, meanwhile, starts to stress about all the wedding planning, prompting Ty to have an idea. Confiding in Ches, he reveals he’s booked the nuptials for Christmas Day as a surprise.
But will everything go off without a hitch?
‘THEY’VE BEEN THROUGH SO MANY THINGS, AND HE RECOGNISES SHE IS HIS SOULMATE’
Cain hoped he was giving son Kyle the gift of a bright future when he took the rap for Al’s murder. But five weeks on, his family is a toxic mess of secrets and lies, and at the centre of it all is a little lad who is struggling to cope with the fact he killed a man.
This week, as Amy and Moira bring Kyle back to the village from their exile in Belfast, they hope that the youngster can keep quiet about his deadly crime. But are the pair asking for the impossible?
Tensions are high from the off, given that Matty now knows who really put a bullet in
Al. He’s angry that his mum and girlfriend kept him in the dark, and has a broken heart to deal with, too, when Amy says their relationship is over.
Moira, meanwhile, has the added hassle of Chloe wrongly believing she was Al’s lover. Thankfully, Amy persuades her sister to drop the matter. In the process, she’s shocked to learn of Chloe’s pregnancy.
Faced with
Matty’s puppy-dog eyes, it’s not long before Amy takes him back. Matty’s delighted, but the following day, as Moira heads to the prison to see Cain, he makes an unsettling discovery in the barn.
‘He finds Kyle making a memorial for Al from rocks,’ reveals Ash Palmisciano, who plays Matty. ‘Kyle’s in his own little world, and Matty thinks this is behaviour that needs to be looked at.
‘He talks to the family about what he saw, but they don’t want him to go any further with it because if Kyle opens up about his feelings, everything is going to come out.’
Moira and Amy are so keen to move on from the trauma that they decide to send
Kyle back to school. They think it’ll do him some good, but Matty’s unconvinced.
‘He thinks that if people start noticing Kyle’s strange behaviour, they’ll call them out on it,’ adds Ash. ‘But Moira and Amy have gone too far down this rabbit hole and can’t turn back now.’
As the trio later get Kyle ready to rejoin his classmates, is it just a matter of time before the truth about Al’s death comes to light?
‘KYLE’S IN HIS OWN LITTLE WORLD’
DOCTORS
DS Cassidy excitedly announces that, following the CPS’ decision not to charge Nicholas Thorne with raping Melissa Grant, he has found a witness, Amy Newton, who says Thorne bragged to her about drugging and assaulting a woman, and she filmed it on her phone. But when Emma discovers that Thorne is ill and was likely spiked with drugs, she smells a rat and shares her concerns with Rob.
Tailing his colleague, Rob reports back to Emma that he saw Cassidy meeting Amy, and the penny drops that Cassidy has resorted to dubious methods to try to bring Thorne to justice.
Emma’s unimpressed and, as she and Jimmi discuss morality and ethics, she talks about the time her son, Chris, helped her husband, Sam, to die. But to her horror, she is confronted by Cassidy, who warns her he knows the truth about Sam’s death, and orders her to back off.
Also this week, Valerie sweats when a pharmacist questions ‘Al’s’ expensive prescription for Grace, and Scarlett is arrested on a drunken night out for her 21st.
Guest stars include James Quinn, best known for playing DS Willets in Coronation Street.
