Cash snatches at the factory have traditionally ended messily: just think of Ernest Bishop taking a blast from a shotgun in the wages raid of 1978, or Janice Battersby being shamed for pilfering the lottery winnings.
Now, the conniving Ryan, who’s sold everything bar the clothes he stands up in to sate his cocaine cravings, breaks into the small-change tin at Underworld and gets coshed on the head by Rob as a result. If that wasn’t bad enough, he then lies to the police and sets up Rob on a GBH charge. Honestly, that Ryan, he’s got more faces than the town-hall clock.
About this programme
Hour-long episode. Ryan announces he is thinking of leaving Weatherfield, and later packs his bags and takes the keys to the factory with the intention of stealing money for a fix. When Rob discovers him breaking in, he assumes it is a burglar and goes on the attack. Steve helps Michelle locate her son and accompanies them to hospital, which leaves Tracy in the lurch as he had promised to look after Amy so she could attend a job interview. Elsewhere, Owen employs Tina to do the books and Tommy gets a night job at a warehouse in Salford, while Sean drunkenly stumbles into a vase that holds sentimental value for Paul.
