Template:6 March

6th March 1989: Alan Bradley's world began to unravel at last. In the month since opening Weatherfield Security Systems, Alan had been drawn to his assistant Dawn Prescott however she'd thwarted his attempts to make their relationship personal. Eventually, Alan had enough and made a grab for Dawn. Although she escaped, Dawn interpreted this as attempted rape and threatened to sue Alan. Realising Dawn could cause trouble, Alan sacked her and told Rita Fairclough of his problems with Dawn, twisting things against her. Dawn did indeed turn to Rita with her rape accusation, but while Rita backed Alan at first, she was stunned when Dawn suggested that she ask Alan why he got letters and phone calls for Len Fairclough. The incident led Rita to investigate and discover that Alan had remortgaged 7 Coronation Street by stealing her late husband's name.
