Bethany is worried about Hope Dobbs’s (Isabella Flanagan) actions; meanwhile, Carla Connor (Alison King) informs Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) that she has sold the Rovers to a man named Ben Driscoll (Aaron McCusker).
Although it seems Carla doesn’t know about Ben’s ties, we are aware that he is engaged to Eva Price (Catherine Tyldesley). Eva will be managing the pub along with her fiancé and his mother, Maggie Price (Pauline McLynn), later this month.
In the meantime, Carla expresses her anxiety about traveling to Ireland because she doesn’t want to leave Lisa alone with Becky Swain (Amy Cudden), prompting Lisa to ask if Carla trusts her. Lisa reassures Carla of her love and her lack of interest in Becky.
Becky Plays Model For Betsy
While Carla is away, Betsy convinces Becky to model some of her designs for a college project, and as Becky walks around confidently, Lisa can’t help but smile and join in. When Betsy records them and shares it on her social media, Becky gets anxious that people might recognize her.
Later, Betsy stays out all night, and Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) informs Lisa that her daughter has been arrested. While Betsy sits alone in a cell, feeling exhausted and bewildered, Lisa holds Becky responsible for her daughter’s struggles due to her sudden return.
Becky feels hurt, and as Betsy is questioned, she learns from DI Costello (Daon Broni) that she has damaged a police car, resisted arrest, and attempted to assault him.

Christina Boyd (Amy Robbins) urges George to be there for Todd, and Todd appreciates having him as he goes to see the doctor.
At the Bistro, Theo and Gary Windass (Mikey North) meet with Pete (Andrew Hayden-Smith) to talk about a possible contract. When Theo sees Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank), he expresses concern that Todd isn’t being honest with him, making Billy uncomfortable.
Did Theo Cheat On Todd In His Hour Of Greatest Need?
Later, Billy rushes outside to take a call from Todd, while Theo hides his anger and orders shots.
The following day, Todd deals with a hangover and returns home to confront Theo’s anger, apologizing for staying at Billy’s while claiming nothing happened. However, when Pete comes out of the bathroom, Todd is shaken; did Theo cheat?

Bethany Tasked With Supervising Hope
Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls) offers Bethany some shifts at the salon to do nails. When Shona Platt (Julia Goulding) receives a call from David Platt (Jack P Shepherd) saying he’s stuck in a lift and won’t make it to the baby scan, Bethany comes up with an idea – will it succeed?
As the week goes on, Bethany is tasked with overseeing Hope, who is on work experience. A client shows them some ‘miracle pills’ that claim to promote strong hair, nails, and weight loss, which impresses Hope.
Bethany’s Catastrophe
However, Bethany cautions that these companies are only interested in making money and disregard people’s health, citing her own weight loss surgery as an example.
As the client departs, she realizes her pills are gone, and Bethany accuses Hope, demanding that she empty her bag. When Hope refuses, Bethany attempts to snatch her bag, causing Bethany’s stoma bag to burst!
Last year, Bethany had to have a permanent stoma fitted due to complications from the surgery mentioned earlier. One year later, how will she handle what unfolds in the salon?

Meanwhile, Fiz Dobbs (Jennie McAlpine) goes into town instead of returning home, and Cassie comes back to find Tyrone in pain after falling out of his wheelchair.
After this, Cassie feels hurt when Fiz ignores her, but then she finds out that Fiz lied about working and has the week off to care for Ty.
