Kevin and Molly arrange another trip

As the post arrives, all the residents of Coronation Street receive a surprise letter from John Stape explaining that he and Fiz intend to live on the Street and asks for their support.

Roy and Hayley are sympathetic, while Norris and Dev are appalled. Sally, meanwhile, is furious to discover that John's been writing to all her neighbours and is further incensed when she and Kevin later receive the same letter.

Like a woman possessed, Sally calls a meeting in the Rovers, intent on drumming up anti-John support.

Kevin, meanwhile, has other things on his mind. Desperate to spend more time with Molly, he finds a 10k run in Glasgow and lies to Sally about entering it.

Despite her initial insistence that he support her at the anti-Stape meeting, she gives him her blessing and with Tyrone happy for Molly to go, too, the clandestine lovers look forward to a romantic break.

Meanwhile, Ashley's sexually frustrated but Claire refuses to have sex with him until he's had a vasectomy. Ashley takes his frustration on Umed when he threatens to smash his irritating new bell at the corner shop as it's driving him mad. Graeme intervenes to try and calm him down and at last Ashley promises Claire he'll have a vasectomy.

Leanne's called into work on her day off. Peter reminds her it's Simon's recorder recital at school and she's determined to attend but Peter's disappointed when she's not home from work in time.

Elsewhere, Emily and Ken decide to throw a joint birthday party in the Rovers; and Roy and Hayley today receive an invitation to Frankie Baldwin's wedding in Romania.
