Copyright 1977 Granada Television. Charles turns up at The Rovers again, promising to pay his debts - now he owes Ken money. Fred gets annoyed with the situation, insults the customers and resigns. Annie lends Charles the Rover, rather than let him hire a car. Ray persuades a glum Dierdre to go into work. She had been molested under the viaduct a couple of weeks before. Left alone in the office, Colin Bailey, a friend of Ray's comes in - and Dierdre throws a fit. Ray takes her home, shaking and in tears. Betty asks for a £2 sub as Charles has just borrowed £2 off her. Annie smells a rat and checks. He isn't staying at the Midland Hotel as he claims. When challenged, he admits he wasn't a Marine Insurance Agent, but a ledger clerk whose life didn't amount to very much. Annie forces him to own up to all his debts, and then gives him a cheque to cover the amount, so he can be seen to be paying back his debts - "to keep up my very good name". |

| "My, the Coronation Street episode was a long time ago. It was my very first piece of television. Everyone was very excited about it, because "the street" was big time, and you never knew if the producers would take a liking to a character and make it a regular, and change your life. Clearly, they didn't with me. But it was such a fun and learning experience. I can remember thinking that the sets were so small." |
