Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
Out for an early morning walk, Tony and Maria appeared to be walking on air after his graveside proposal the day before. As they arrived back in Coronation Street there was only one cloud on the horizon, the reaction of Barry and Helen. With a deep breath, they opened up the front door and went inside.
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
They found Barry about to go up with two cups of tea and Maria asked: 'Helen still in bed?' He replied; 'She didn't exactly get much sleep, for obvious reasons.' Maria mumbled: 'Our engagement.' Tony told him he was the one to blame and Barry sighed: 'I'd be the first to raise a glass to you normally but you can hardly expect us to celebrate your news on the anniversary of our son's death.' They nodded understandingly and he headed for the stairs and smiled good naturedly: 'I'd better get this to Helen,. If you think she's bad enough normally you should see her before she's had her morning cup of tea!'
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
Tony's phone rang and he picked it but found that the caller had withheld their number so rejected the call without answering.
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
Emerging from the bedroom and finding Luke stuffing papers into his briefcase, Rosie asked him what he was doing. he told her it was just paperwork he needed for their new contract. She gushed: 'So nothing to do with that surprise you were telling me about last night then?' He smiled: 'Ah, that would be telling wouldn't it?' and she skipped happily into the kitchen.
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
She frowned as she found the cupboards practically bare and asked: 'You on a diet or something?' Hastily putting his passport into his bag, he told her: 'Oh, I meant to go to the shops but haven't had time. Tell you what,. let's go for breakfast on the way to work.' She took his hand and grinned: 'I've got a better idea. let's skip breakfast altogether.' and tugged him towards the bedroom. He smiled: 'You're the boss.' and she beamed: 'Not yet but I soon will be!'
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
Joe sighed as he looked at his wages from the shop and told Gail early retirement was still a way off. She smiled: 'We're doing alright though aren't we?' He told her he wanted to be doing better than alright: 'If I'm not at the shop I'm at the yard. Talking of which I better get going or Bill will be on the warpath.' She smiled: 'Bit of a tyrant is he?' and he joked: 'Yeah, it's the moustache. They all had them. Hitler, Lenin.' and laughed as she added: 'Magnum PI!' He kissed her and told her he would see her later.
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
Blanche listened as Norris complained that he was still searching for a new assistant yet Emily wanted him to take time off to go to lunch with her to celebrate her birthday. Blanche asked with great interest: 'And where are you going for this lunch exactly?' He shrugged: 'Some Italian in town that does two for one on weekdays or something equally tacky.' With a look of intent on her face, Blanch turned and headed for the door as he cried: 'Hang on. Don't you want your magazine?' She stopped and replied: 'I've had a look. No-one's died. You can keep it.' and exited the shop.
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
Barry, Tony and Maria were chatting amiably enough when Helen came downstairs, muttering: 'Don't mind me.' Maria told her: 'Look, if it's going to kick off I'd rather it wasn't at my baby's funeral. So come on, what's on your mind?' Helen sniped: 'I'm more interested in what was on your mind when he went down on one knee at my son's graveside.' Tony sighed that it wasn't like that but Maria cried: 'You want to know what I thought? Thank God! Thank God Tony loves me as much as I love him. And thank God I don't have to go through this all alone any more.' Helen hissed: 'Don't you bring God into this. This has nothing to do with him!'
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
Maria fired back: 'Liam is dead Helen. I wish he wasn't but he is! And if you want to be part of your grandson's life you are going to have to accept that I am marrying Tony!' Helen opened her mouth in shock but before she could reply there was a knock at the door. Tony opened it and Michelle walked in with Ryan and smiled cheerily: 'Hiya, I know we're a bit early but I thought it might be nice if we all...' She trailed off as she sensed the positively sub zero atmosphere and asked: 'Have I missed something?'
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
Having been mocked by the staff again, Rosie fumed that she so wanted to break the news to them who the new boss was. Luke managed to placate her as he smiled: 'I know you do but do me a favour? Just wait till Rab C Nesbitt is back in the building. I want to watch the colour drain from his face. Now, seeing as I am still your boss for just a little while longer, how about a coffee?'
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
As she trotted dutifully off to make him one, he returned to his phone call: 'Sorry about that. Yes, I just wanted to check that some money has been paid into my account. Ninety thousand pounds.'
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
Pam turned up at the yard and told Bill she had been to see his customer who had been holding out on paying his bill. He asked hopefully: 'Any joy with him?' She smiled weakly and replied: 'In a manner of speaking.' He frowned and told her she had lost him and she grimaced: 'It's hard to explain.' She walked to the yard gate, put her fingers to her lips and gave a loud whistle.
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
Bill and Joe looked on in open mouthed amazement as a large four wheel drive with a trailer behind it pulled into Victoria Street. As they saw what was on the trailer they were literally lost for words.
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
With Bill still gawping at what he was seeing, Joe finally managed to pull himself together enough to ask Pam with a smile: 'This fella you went to see. He didn't have a wooden leg and a parrot did he?'
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
As he sat deleting his account details from his computer, Rosie breezed into the office and told him: 'We're going to have to start advertising soon.' He looked at her blankly and she beamed: 'Well now I am the boss, we are going to need someone to replace me!'
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
Luke smarmed: 'Who could ever replace you?' She purred: 'Hey, maybe I should get myself a really hot male PA.' He shook his head and told her: 'Never mix business with pleasure. It will always end in tears.' He looked concerned as she moved round the desk and began: 'Not always. Look at us.' Glancing nervously at his monitor, he was greatly relieved when Tony's phone rang and he hastily asked: 'Hadn't you better answer that?'
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
She picked up the receiver and trilled breezily: 'Tony Gordon's phone. Can I help you?' then frowned: 'They've hung up. Must have been a wrong number.'
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
Having been told about the engagement, Michelle confessed: 'I wasn't expecting that, not so soon after...' Helen hissed: 'What she means is so soon after her brother's death!' but Michelle scowled: 'I meant so soon after than getting together.' Tony told her that it wasn't planned: 'I didn't even know I was going to ask her myself.' Michelle smiled and told them she and Ryan were very pleased for them. She hugged Maria and told her: 'Well as it's now a double celebration why don't we crack open some of that bubbly we were saving till after the christening?' Barry cried enthusiastically: 'Now there's a plan!'
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
Helen screeched hysterically: 'Am I the only one here that gives a damn about Liam?' Michelle told her that wasn't fair but she cried: 'Fair? I'll tell you what's not fair. Going to the funeral of two of your sons! That's not fair!' and broke down in tears. Barry told her safely: 'I lost him too love. Michelle her brothers, Ryan his uncles, Maria a husband. Do I need to go on? Can't we try and be happy? For their sake? For the baby? For us?' She sniffled that she wanted to: 'It's just that I miss him so much.' Barry put a comforting arm round her as he whispered: 'We all do love, we all do.'
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
Alone with Helen a little while later, Maria told her she never intended for things to turn out as they had and that she was really sorry she had upset her. Helen replied softly: 'You've done nothing wrong. I mean that. I just get tired of looking for answers that aren't there and I lash out at whoever's nearest. Unlucky for him, it's usually Barry. The number of saucepans and lids that have come his way recently. I don't know why he stays with me.' Maria smiled: 'Because he loves you.' Their eyes met and Helen replied quietly: 'Thank God eh?'
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
Bill told Pam he had expected her to come back with cash or a cheque: 'What the hell am I going to do with that?' She grabbed him and cried: 'Use your imagination. There you are out at sea, sails billowing, waves rolling beneath you and you standing there, proud, erect, buffeted by the wind. Can't you just picture it?' He snapped: 'No! I get seasick filling the flaming bath!' She stomped off down the stairs, yelling back at him: 'Fine! Then flog it!'
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
He yelled after her that it was a pile of junk but Joe called up: 'Actually it's not in that bad condition.' Bill asked him how he knew and he replied: 'I did a bit of sailing with me dad when I was a kid It could be a nice little boat, this. It just needs some TLC.' Emerging from the yard, Pam yelled up at Bill: 'See, lick of paint and a bit of polish, you'll sell it no problem.' Joe looked rather thoughtful as Bill yelled back at her: 'Who in their right might would get lumbered with a thing like this?'
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
Rosie wittered at Luke: 'What do you think of the name Underworld? I hate it, it sounds like something to do with gangsters. I'm going to ask Tony if we can change it.' Luke asked to what and she shrugged: 'I don't know. Something classier.' He pulled on his jacket and told her he was off to a meeting. She frowned that there was nothing in the diary and he blustered: 'Yeah, it's all a bit last minute.' She asked if she could come with him rather than being stuck in the factory but he smiled: 'Hey, someone's got to run this place and seeing as you are going to be the boss.'
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
Helen was thrilled as Maria came down with baby Liam and gasped: 'But that's the christening gown that we brought over.' Maria smiled: 'I'm going to change him in a minute because I don't want him to mess it up but I wanted to make sure it fitted him.' Helen was over the moon and Barry cried: 'If anything calls fort a toast, this does.' Maria told him she couldn't do something like back and Michelle laughed: 'Well one of you had better cos if you don't me dad will and then we'll never get out of here!'
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
Champagne poured, Tony look a bit uncomfortable as he was prevailed on to propose a toast. As Helen handed him a glass he winced: 'Well as I'm the least qualified here to make this toast I'll make it quick. To friends, family and loved ones, past, present and future. Especially the future. His phone rang and Maria laughed that it had better not happen during the service and he smiled: 'I'll get rif of them, whoever it is.' and went into the kitchen to answer it.
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
He answered with a brisk: 'Hello?' but then froze as he heard the voice on the other end of the line. He looked anxiously into the living room where everyone was smiling and sipping their champagne then quickly let himself out into the back yard.
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
Outside he snapped: 'What do you want? Today? No, I can't!' The caller said something to him and he growled resignedly: 'Right. Where?'
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
Back at the flat, Luke quickly went through drawers and cupboards, pulling out paperwork and shoving it into rubbish bags. Whatever he was up to, it looked like he didn't want to leave any traces of himself behind.
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
Tony told them he had to go to an urgent meeting and Helen cried: 'I can't believe you have to go into work today of all days. Dinner will be on the table at half past two.' He smiled: 'And I want to be sat next to you at it.' Maria asked if Luke couldn't deal with it and he sighed: 'It's fine. I'll be an hour or so at most. This client is very important. If I don't resolve this thing today it could be very bad.' She asked if he thought he could talk them round and he smiled: 'I convinced you to marry me didn't I?' and she smiled: 'Well don't be long. Whatever they ask of you just say yes.'
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
Meanwhile, the soon to be new owner of Underworld was busy with a felt tip pen and a piece of headed notepaper. Scribbling done, she sighed contentedly and sat back her handiwork.
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
There, laid before her, was the new name and design for the rebranding of the company that would soon be hers. Clearly, the flair she showed when designing underwear had not deserted her.
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
As Rosie sat back in her executive chair and dreamed of English Rosie's, staffed by drones in blue uniforms and butcher's hairnets, Luke Strong pulled up at the corner of Coronation Street, took one last look down it and smiled to himself before driving off down Viaduct street.
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
Gail was surprised as Joe rushed into the surgery and asked if she could get away for a while later. She smiled: 'Actually I'm only doing half a shift today. Why?' he smiled mysteriously as he replied: 'Actually it's a bit of a surprise. I'll see you at home later then, say about two o'clock?'
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
Tony arrived to meet his caller at the graveyard and, looking tense and anxious, walked slowly through it towards Liam's grave. As he reached it, a voice called coldly: 'You're late!' He looked round and growled: 'Rather apt considering the location. You couldn't just meet in a quiet wine bar could you? It always has to be the grand gesture with you doesn't it?'
Mon 19 Oct 7-30pm
Carla eyes with cold, emotionless eyes and told him: 'Oh this is more than just a gesture Tony. Believe me.'
