Coronation Street / Episode 17 / 2018

After some hours have now went by and the clocks have struck 9pm in the evening, other residents raise their glasses to a unforgettable 2016 and prepare themselves for the best year yet. However, it's the waiting game at Weatherfield's Hospital for certain people. Will everybody be okay?

Nick was waiting nervously for ages, to find the outcome of his almost wife, Carla Connor. Gail bite her nails rapidly as she sat down, shaking both her legs waiting her the results of her husband, Micheal. Andy and Steph were standing next to Gail, making sure she was alright as they all patiently waited. David was talking quietly on the phone to his wife, Kylie for some regular updates.
"Okay! I'll see you later." Spoke, David as he turned his device off after speaking.
"That was Kylie. The kids are doing fine, Adam's still there and all the neighbours send their love!" Announced, David towards everybody!
"Thank god.. I'm glad." Said, Sarah.
"Shall I get us some teas?" Asked, Audrey.
"Yeah, that'll be great. I'll come with you." Insisted Steph as Andy and Sarah and followed.
"Arghh! I can't wait anymore! I need to see Carla.." Insisted, Nick as he quickly fleeced the scene.
"I'll go with him-" added on, David as he told his mum and dashed off with him.

Gail looked at the clock, then to the floor. She clutched her hands tightly together and position them in his knees. Worrying like made, Gail fears for Carla and Micheal's outcomes. Then, out of the blue... a woman approached the distressed Gail and sat next to her on the 3 seater. Gail looks up to her, in a confused manner.
"Hello Gail." She said.
But before Gail said a word, she carried on...
"I'm Susan, Robert's Mum." She smiled.
"Oh, hello." Spoke, Gail.
"I'm guessing you know." gathered, Susan.
"That Robert is Nick and Sarah's Brother.. Yes!" She sighed.
"Well-"
"What happened between you and my old husband?" Gail asked, nervously.
"Well, before you jump to any conclusions, it wasn't any sort of a affair."
Gail cracked up a small laugh.
"No, no, no. It was before Brian had even met you.. he was with me." Susan, smiled.
Gail sat their in complete silence.
"He and I were together for quite some time. Then things went down the plug hole when we started to fall apart and have our... differences you might say." Told, Susan with a firm voice.
Gail sat their in complete silence, waiting for Susan to continue.
"He left eventually.. and then, god knows where he went too. I'm guessing to you?" Asked, Susan.
"Well, when we started our relationship... he mentioned about previous ex's, but not too much. But now that I think about it, he did talk about just recently leaving somebody, once we met." Pointed out, Gail.
"And things went smoothly?" She asked .
"Incredibly. We had a whale of a time. I feel pregnant with my Nick in 1980, then Sarah Louise in 1987." Said, Gail as she smiled away.
Susan also smiled at her.
"He moved to Coronation Street after we fell in love.. he came along with his lovely parents and we then began to live together!" Remembered Gail, happily.
"I'm guessing you heard what happened to him though?" Asked, Gail as she turned her head, facing Susan.
"His death?" Asked, Susan as she looked incredibly sad towards Gail.
"Yeah. That's the one.." Pointed out, Gail as she took a deep thought and looked to the floor.
"He was stabbed.. outside a night club, defending some young girls from a group of men!" Said Susan as she pulled out the front page from a very old newspaper.
"Where... Where did you get that? How do you even have this?" Cried, Gail slightly as she was shocked by her findings.
"I kept it after a found out about the incident. After joining the police, I photocopied it and kept another one in late case files from years ago." Explained, Susan towards Gail.
"Police?" Said, Gail as she was stunned once again.
Susan reached into her left side pocket and pulled out a police badge and showed it to Gail.
                  Susan was a police woman.

David and Nick were sitting in Room 9 of The Hospital. Beside them, Carla's life was hanging in the balance after a horrific fall from Nick's Bistro Roof. All of a sudden, David's phone rang once again, he looked down at it and realised it was Kylie.
"It's Kylie!" Explained, David towards Nick, before answering the phone.
"Hiya. What's up?" Spoke, David.
"Hi, David.. I'm in Street Cars now, waiting for a cab. I'm coming to the hospital." Explained, Kylie over the phone.
"Umm.. Are you sure? What about the kids?" He Asked.
"Adam's insisted on me going, while he continues to watch them." Replied, Kylie.
"Well if that's the case.. come on up. We're still waiting on Carla and Micheal."
"I'll be as quick as I can.. love you." Shouted, Kylie down the phone, before ending the call.
