Notes[]
- Extended football coverage in Scotland resulted this episode being postponed to Friday 16th May, and broadcast at 7.30pm in the usual Coronation Street slot, immediately followed by a double bill of that day's two regular episodes. In all other areas this episode was transmitted at 7.00pm with the football following on in the 7.30pm slot.
- In this one-off appearance of Ann McIntyre, the character was named "Anna". When she returned on 11th June 2014 she was renamed "Ann" to avoid confusion with the regular character of Anna Windass.
- TV Times synopsis: Chesney becomes caught up in Fiz and Julie's feuding; Liam feels guilty after his night with Carla; Gail has an argument with Tina's mother; and Leanne faces a difficult first shift at the Rovers Return.
- Viewing Figures: First UK broadcast - 6,440,000 viewers (18th place).
