Mel Hutchwright enthuses about the humble north, the cobbles, the litter and the pigeons. Norris asks him to cast his professional eye over a book which he's writing about his life as a salesman. Ian winds Sally up telling her he's decided to give his marriage another go. She pretends not to care but Ian's pleased to see she's jealous. Craig visits Angela in prison. He's devastated when she tells him she can still expect to serve a minimum of four years. Mel tells the Book Club how he's been suffering from writer's block. Roy and Hayley are delighted when Chesney calls in the café and asks them if it's okay if he still visits them sometimes. Keith tries to support inconsolable Craig. He promises Angela he'll look after him. Janice has a go at Cilla for the way she treated Roy and Hayley, not to mention Chesney. Janice and Cilla end up fighting the Rovers.
