Episode 10375 (12th July 2021)

## Plot

**Part One:** Alya calls Daisy a tramp and tells Ryan they're finished when he tries to explain. Daisy smiles at the havoc she's caused. Jenny sees Alya fleeing into No.6 with Ryan pleading for a chance to be heard. Todd claims Mr Hendricks took the wrong urn but George doesn't want to get involved as the Hendricks are a big crime family. Ryan is unable to say whether he had sex with Daisy or not as he was too drunk. Evelyn is impressed with Chris's profile and encourages Fiz to meet him. Alya confronts Daisy in the cafe wanting to know what happened. Daisy admits they kissed when Ryan came on to her but nothing more. Curtis and Emma run their charity naked calendar past Steve and Tracy. She likes the idea, but Steve won't take part. Alya tells Ryan to move out as she can't live with him when she can't trust him.

**Part Two:** Mr Hendricks returns the urn to the undertakers. Todd checks it but sees that it's empty. In front of George, Mr Hendricks makes a comment about enjoying receiving a windfall that morning. Curtis asks Emma to persuade Steve to take part in the calendar shoot. Fiz meets up with her date in the bistro only to discover that Chris is a female reporter hoping to run a story on aggrieved women who've been dumped for a younger model. Fiz is furious but when Chris points out how good it'll feel to tell the world the truth, she's torn as she takes the reporter's card. Jenny finds Ryan in Victoria Gardens with his bag packed and offers him a bed at the Rovers. Billy summons Todd, Summer and Will to the bistro and tells them he's celebrating as he's had the go ahead to spend £7,000 on a heat pump for the halfway house. Yasmeen has no sympathy for Ryan. Daisy's thrilled to discover Ryan's come to stay. From the kitchen, Jenny overhears her talking about what happened between them. She confronts her stepdaughter over her actions. In the Rovers, Eileen advances on George and berates him for conspiring with Sean behind her back. George topples backwards in alarm, breaking his wrist and Eileen's left mortified. Daisy turns on the tears when Jenny accuses her of deliberately trying to break up Ryan and Alya. She hurriedly backs down. Will corners Todd and suggests that if he's struggling for cash, he should steal it from Billy.
