Jodie plays a dangerous game as Doug grows increasingly paranoid in Corrie

Can anyone stop her before it’s too late?

26 SEPTEMBER - 2 OCTOBER

When Shona announces that she’s going to work, Jodie offers to take over her domestic duties to lighten her load. But Shona returns home to find David washing up and Jodie minding Harper.

Making out she has a date, Jodie goes to the salon for a blow dry and as David finishes her hair, he orders her to go and enjoy herself. Pretending to read a text, Jodie feigns tears, and makes out her date has cancelled.

Pulling a bottle of fizz from her bag, Jodie persuades David to join her in a commiseratory drink. What has she got planned?

When Jodie enters carrying a huge bunch of flowers and makes out that they’re a gift from her date, Shona’s impressed, but when Shona tells David she found out from Mary that Jodie bought herself the flowers, David confirms that her date was cancelled when she was in the salon.

Later, Jodie rummages through Doug’s belongings and swaps his anti-psychotic drugs for ordinary painkillers.

Eyeing the radio with suspicion, Doug then shoves it in a cupboard as David and Shona watch with alarm, whilst Jodie’s delighted to note that his paranoia is kicking in.

When a fretful Doug remarks that he can hear static coming from the radio, Jodie turns up the volume but makes out she has no idea what he’s talking about.

Later, Lily rounds on Shona, accusing her of always putting Harper first, and Shona feels terrible when Lily remarks that Jodie always makes time for her.
