Sun 13 Aug, 2006 : Season 47 Episode 156

It is only a day to go until the wedding and over in the Platts’, Hayley is doing some last minute alterations to Sarah’s wedding dress. Sarah tries to persuade her mother again to come to the wedding but Gail is defiant and tells her daughter that she doesn’t like Jason, and thinks that they are too young to get wed. Over at Eileen’s, she shares the same sentiment as her arch rival and tells Jason what a mistake he is making. Todd phones and the brothers share an emotional conversation where Todd wishes him well with the wedding. Later on, the two lovebirds take Bethany out and Jason tells Sarah he wants to make a commitment to Bethany during the ceremony. Sarah is touched by this gesture, but back in the Rovers the mood takes a turn for the worse when Sarah begs her mother again to come to the wedding. Stubborn Gail won’t budge and leaves her daughter in floods of tears. Charlie goes to collect some mail from his old flat, and whilst he is there he can’t resist looking through Maria’s belongings. Then he opens a cupboard, removes two fuses from the fusebox and pockets them. Later, when Maria comes home she is puzzled because her electricity isn’t working. She innocently phones Charlie to come and fix it and he hot foots it over to her flat. What is cunning Charlie up to? And in the Rovers, Michelle arrives for her interview as a barmaid. Liz is thrown when she sees Michelle walk behind the bar but Fred tells Liz she is on trial. Liz is less than impressed by this but Michelle is a hit with the regulars.
