Plot
Phelan finishes off at the factory. Gail asks Roy for a part-time job at the cafe but he's fully staffed. The Rovers residents await a visit from the brewery, who are photographing their families behind the bar as part of a promo for parents. Martin visits the Street and meets Shona. He quickly susses that David is in the doghouse. Audrey realises that Gail is looking for money to pay Rosemary Piper. She and Roy team up to expose Rosemary as a fraud. Leanne palms Oliver off on Steve while she gets the pub ready for the brewery. Tracy is miffed when she says Amy isn't allowed in the photo. Seb gets a building job at Legacy Reach. Audrey asks Rosemary over to the salon for a session with Roy. Brian goes along to see a clairvoyant at work. Rosemary realises that Roy is a sceptic and refuses to go ahead with the session but Roy takes her inability to name his late wife with whom she is supposedly in contact as confirmation that she's a charlatan. Sarah introduces Martin and Gary. Audrey is mugged by a gang outside the Rovers. Brian tackles her assailant while another one grabs Roy's bag, which he manages to wrest from his grip. In the struggle, Audrey is pushed to the ground. All but one of the gang get away. Phelan gets onto Mona Beattie when she doesn't pay him for the mill job. Oliver draws on his face with semi-permanent marker. Audrey is taken to hospital while Brian gives the police a statement. The lad he apprehended refuses to name his accomplices. Audrey fears she's broken her ankle. Gail is annoyed to hear that Audrey has been putting Rosemary off and points out that the mugging supports the curse theory. Josh hears Martin talking about David's plans to emigrate and expresses his concerns for David's welfare. Roy tells Leanne that Simon was one of Audrey's attackers. Mona confronts Phelan and tells him that due to his shoddy work the concrete will have to be dug up and re-laid. She lets him know that he's being sued.
