11th June 1962: Christine Hardman has never been the same since the death of her mother May in 1960. She has been feeling trapped by the monotonicity of life in Coronation Street and decided the only way out is to kill herself by jumping off the roof of her workplace Elliston's Raincoat Factory. The sight of Christine on the roof causes a stir among the workers and residents, who are convinced she will jump. Sheila Birtles becomes hysterical at the thought. When the police are unable to talk Christine down, Ken Barlow goes up for a chat and reminds her of the time when he was unhappy with his life and tried to escape by moving to London, but Christine talked him out of it. He tells Christine that people care about her. Christine agrees to come down.
