THE CAST WEATHERFIELD EXTRA

TV TIMES 23

W

eatherfield’s a small

place, and Robert is

given a scary reminder

of that this week as he

juggles the two women in his life.

He’s pleased as punch when

pregnant ex Vicky tells him her

son Tyler has been invited to a

youth awards ceremony. But he’s

a nervous wreck when he learns

Michelle is doing the catering, and

he’s further panicked when Tracy

delivers food to the event and sees

him giving Vicky a hug.

Robert has already had

a close call before his

nightmare predicament.

Earlier, Tyler rings to tell

him that his mum is ill.

The chef says he’ll try to

visit, only for fiery Vicky

to burst into the Bistro,

complaining she’s sick of

playing second fiddle.

Fortunately for Robert,

Michelle and Ryan are

out with Alya on a job.

But unfortunately Vicky is then

struck down with stomach pains,

and he’s forced to abandon ship

to take her to hospital.

‘When Michelle and co return,

they find pans bubbling away in

the kitchen, and Robert AWOL,’

reveals our Corrie insider.

‘Michelle rings Robert, who lies

that he’s at the wholesalers.’

At Weathy General, Vicky tells

Robert about Tyler’s achievement,

and there’s more good news when

the doctor

reveals that the baby is fine –

Vicky actually has gallstones.

But back on the cobbles,

Robert finds out about Chelle’s

involvement in the awards do.

He urges Vicky not to attend,

but as he helps his fiancée serve

canapés, he spots the mum

and son across the room. He

ushers Vicky out, but then Tracy

arrives and demands answers.

Can Robert put her off the scent?

When Vicky later admits

she’s lonely, Robert

agrees to stay over at her

place, occasionally. He

lies to Michelle that he

has been asked to mentor at

a young offenders’ unit, which

will mean nights away. But Carla

questions how he got the job,

given his criminal record. When

his phone then pings with a

message, suspicious Carla grabs it.

Robert wheedles his way out

of the situation, but when he

heads round to Vicky’s, he’s thrown

to see her ex, Jed. Are Robert’s

troubles about to get even bigger?

Caught out?

Robert panics when

Tracy spots him cosying up to Vicky

Lies: How will
Robert explain

things to Tracy?

Expect David Platt to come out of

prison sporting a suntan. Jack P

Shepherd, who has been playing the

hairdresser since 2000, has taken

advantage of his character being

banged up off-screen by going on

holiday with girlfriend Hanni Treweek.

‘We did loads,’ Jack tells us. ‘We

went to the Dominican Republic, and

then went to New York on the way

back home. In the past, they’ve put

make-up on me to cover up the tan,

but it just makes me look grey, so

we’re leaving it this time round.’
