Template:6 May

6th May 1998: Jack Duckworth had enjoyed several days of bliss following a hypnotherapy session that Vera made him undertake to try and force him to stop smoking. Instead of going into a trance, he pretended to regress into a past life as an Eighteenth Century rake named "Lusty Jack" and then proceeded to do as little work round the bar of the Rovers as possible, groping the barmaids and spending his time at the bookies. Roy Cropper exposed the deception when he asked Jack details of bygone Weatherfield and received wholly inaccurate information as a result. Vera got her revenge by presenting a tasty dish for him to eat from an ancient recipe - pigeon pie. A distraught Jack found his coop had been emptied and accused Vera of murder. In the event, it transpired she had stored them with Jamie Armstrong and Ray Thorpe while she get her revenge on her errant husband.
