POTD: Corrie's Joe ransacks the medical centre
Published Friday, Aug 7 2009, 12:30 BST | By Kris Green
Coronation Street painkiller addict Joe McIntyre (Reece Dinsdale) reaches breaking point during tonight's episode of the Manchester soap and breaks into the medical centre in search of pills.
His withdrawal symptoms become too much to bear and with Gail's (Helen Worth) surgery keys in hand, he unlocks the doors to the medical centre. However, he hadn't bargained on the burglar alarm alarm being triggered.
When the siren begins to sound, Joe returns to his van and retrieves a sledge hammer in the hope of silencing it. Returning inside, he smashes the control panel, before heading into the medical store in the hope of finding his next fix.
How will Gail and the rest of the Street's residents react?
Coronation Street airs tonight at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV1.
