Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances-Brown) may have fooled () with her perfect sister routine, but there is one resident who isn’t buying it for a second.
Newcomer Jodie has spent most of her time on the cobbles stirring things up among the locals, causing all manner of mischief from spreading baseless gossip to refusing to pick up after David the Dog.
Somehow, her meddling has gone unnoticed by Shona, who has no idea that sister .
In tonight’s episode, Shona was still devastated about her lost wedding ring, and Jodie was determined to play the hero.
Easy enough, given that she stole the ring!
Shona realised it was missing after taking it off in the salon to have her nails done during their pamper session, but when she and () turned the place upside down and had no luck finding it, Shona was gutted.
Tonight, by some miracle, Jodie managed to ‘find’ the ring down the back of a chair in the Platt’s living room, and enlisted ’s () help in retrieving it.
When they arrived in the Rovers, where Shona was having a drink with Bethany and (), David gave Jodie the glory of finding the ring, and Shona was clearly over the moon.
However, Bethany clearly wasn’t convinced.
Jodie had already given her bad vibes the day before when she told her she hadn’t cooked enough for three and asked her to leave, and the return of the ring left a sour taste in Bethany’s mouth.
When Maria made a passing comment about Jodie’s skill at making friends and influencing people, she could tell that Bethany had reservations about her.
Bethany confided in Maria that she hadn’t made up her mind about Jodie, but that Shona had been sure she’d lost her ring in the salon.
Maria was quick to point out that Shona has had a lot on her plate recently, before joking that Bethany was just being paranoid.
Will Bethany accept Maria’s theory, or could she be for who she really is?
We know that Jodie is on the list of possible victims for the flashforward murder, so could Bethany be set to uncover her secret past and set the stage for her death, or even be the one to kill her herself?
Or, with Jodie having in mischievous schemes, will Bethany be her next victim?
