R

obert may have wanted

to cut ties with Vicky when

he reunited with Michelle,

but news of her pregnancy changed

everything – now he wants her in

his life, so that he can be a proper

father to their unborn baby.

So when he arrives at Vicky’s

place this week, he’s panicked to see

her ex-partner Jed sniffing around,

and further rocked to spot that

Vicky has packed her bags, having

seemingly accepted Jed’s offer

of a new life together in Ireland.

Horrified to realise he may be about

to lose his chance to play daddy, he

squares up to his ‘rival’.

Vicky’s torn as she sees the two

men in her life locking horns, and

asks to be left alone so she can

decide what she really wants.

Which man will get his way?

Battle of the exes!

All is

probably

not as it

seems...

J

ust a few months ago,

Gary barely had enough

cash to buy a pint. Now

he’s a moneylender and

owns a furniture shop, and this

week he adds Underworld hero

to his CV as he saves the factory

from financial ruin.

The builder’s ‘windfall’ has come

courtesy of Rick Neelan, who he

recently bumped off. The late loan

shark’s office is Gary’s personal cash

machine – there seem to be wads

of notes everywhere. At the start

of the week, one such wad goes

walkabout when Gary hides it in

the drawer of a desk, which his

assistant Ryan then sells to Mary.

When Gary confronts the florist,

Mary insists the desk was empty

when she bought it. The mystery of

his missing moola is finally solved

when Alya lets slip that Ryan has

come into some money. A livid

Gary squares up to the lad and

demands he pay back every penny

he stole... plus interest.

At the community

centre, meanwhile,

Sarah learns that the

insurance company

will only pay £20k

for the factory roof

collapse; way short of

what is needed for a

rebuild. But Gary has

an idea and introduces his investor

friend, Derek, explaining Derek will

buy the land, rebuild the factory

and rent it out to Underworld on

the proviso that he is put in charge

of the building work.

Mikey North, who

plays builder Gary,

teases: ‘Without

giving too much away,

all is probably not as

it seems...’

Sarah refuses the

offer, not wanting

any connection to her ex, but the

machinists overrule her. Could it

be a decision they live to regret?

He finds an investor for the factory when

the insurance payment comes up short

CORRIE THIS WEEK
