FOR WEEK COMMENCING 29TH APRIL
When Roy calls the cafe hoping to speak to Nina, Shona passes the phone to Carla who hangs up, making out it was a dodgy line and hurries out.
In his prison cell, Roy has another flashback of Lauren approaching the cafe counter with Max, but can’t work out what’s significant about their conversation and when a prison officer bangs on the door, a frustrated Roy loses his chain of thought.
In the factory, Bobby tells Carla that he reckons Roy must have kept quiet about the false statement or the police would have come knocking by now.
In the visiting room, Nina explains to the prison officer that she’s waiting for Roy Cropper and as the officer lets himself into Roy’s cell, he finds him collapsed on the floor.
When Mary visits a desolate Roy in hospital, he reveals how he keeps trying to remember the details of a conversation he overheard between Max and Lauren as he feels sure it’s of significance. And Mary urges him not to give up as it’ll come to him eventually.
When Nina reveals that the police are going to film a reconstruction in the café of Lauren’s last known movements, Amy offers to mention it on her radio show to raise awareness.
Calling Dee-Dee from prison, Roy tells her about Lauren’s necklace and how if they can trace where it’s from, they might be able to trace her mystery boyfriend.
