Episode 10051 (20th April 2020)

## Plot

Aadi reads the group chat messages and flies into a rage, blaming Asha for letting herself be recorded. Asha cries off from volunteer work as she can't bear to face her peers. Still avoiding Scott, Johnny arranges for Peter and Carla to move into the Rovers so that he and Jenny can both go to France. Sally takes a fancy to an expensive wedding dress. Tim promises to buy it for her, even though it means finding £2,000. Tracy tells Dev that Aadi bragged about swiping a bottle of vodka from the shop. Kirk prepares to join Beth and Daniel in Scotland. Ken finds out from a contact at the bank that his fine was paid into a personal current account - Charles's. Dev grounds the twins when they deny taking the vodka but forces them to join the volunteers cleaning up Victoria Gardens. Arriving there, Mary puts the twins to work with Amy, Summer and Kelly. The laughter of the other children upsets a paranoid Asha. Ahead of the vote, Ken makes Charles squirm by inviting him to match his promise to publish details of the Residents' Association finances. He then denounces Charles as a fraud, announcing to the crowd that their money has been lining his pockets. Lost for words for once, Charles walks out of the room. Amy tries to assure Asha that her video is just a five-minute wonder. Aadi pummels one of the other lads to the ground when he makes suggestive remarks about Asha. Asha is hurt when Aadi calls her a slag. Abi suggests that Tim sell Tiny to raise the money for Sally's dress. Ken is elected chairperson with 36 votes to Charles's 18. Charles is nowhere to be seen when the result is declared. Ken finds the victory hollow and stands down during his opening speech, appointing Norris as acting chair. The Connors worry about leaving Carla to look after Scott when she can't cook. Nevertheless, Johnny books the flights for France. He's caught off guard when Scott enters the Rovers and they come face-to-face. Norris starts to like Stillwaters as everyone hangs on his every word. Ken admits to Claudia that he's homesick for Coronation Street. Amy urges Asha to tell Dev everything. Asha is horrified when someone sends her a link to her video on a porn site.
