Template:1 November

1st November 1982: Len and Rita Fairclough's teenage foster daughter had her first real crush when she fell for older - and married - man Brian Tilsley. Rita guessed that she was in love but had no idea who the lad was. She was as shocked as anyone when Gail Tilsley came to tell Rita that she had caught the two in the garage fighting over a photograph of Brian that Sharon had stolen when she was babysitting and demanded that she do something about it. Rita confronted Sharon who told her that there was nothing she could do to stop her and accused her of being a hypocrite for living over the brush herself with Harry Bates for many years. This earned her a hard slap across the face but she stayed resolute, yelling at Rita that she was determined to stick with him.
