Pick of the Plots: Friday 1st September

Debbie tells Ronnie that Newton & Ridley shares have nose-dived and he had better hope Waterfords make an offer soon. Thrown into panic, Ronnie tells Ed that he’s having second thoughts about the new project and thinks they should pull out, but Ed won’t hear of it.

When Ronnie then hears Henry telling The Rovers staff that his dad intends to sell the brewery but he’s doing everything he can to stop it, he catches him outside and urges him to accept Waterfords’ offer. Henry points out that he never mentioned Waterfords and demands to know where Ronnie got his information. How will Ronnie talk his way out of this one?

When Ed reveals he’s put in a bid for the plot of land, Ronnie’s forced to explain there’s no money because he blew it all on Newton & Ridley shares which are now worthless. How will Ed react?

Meanwhile, as a loved-up Stephen and Jenny head down the street, Jenny suggests they book a holiday and offers to pay. Tim spots them and warns Jenny that Stephen is not to be trusted. As he reveals Elaine’s selling her flat and wants him out, Stephen’s furious.

Elsewhere, Tyrone hands Cassie £20 and asks her to buy something for tea. When Cassie is late home, Evelyn warns him to expect the worst.

Also, Stu and Eliza meet Dom in the precinct. Dom suggests ice cream but makes out he’s forgotten his wallet. When Eliza assures him Stu will pay because he’s loaded, Dom’s ears prick up.
