Lou causes havoc in the salon during her trial shift in Corrie

When Maria fires her, will Audrey give her a second chance?

12-18 APRIL

When Lou offers to help out with the kids so that Chesney can take the job Dev has offered him working the festival  in London, Gemma’s immensely grateful.

Having spotted an advert for a stylist in the salon window, Lou and Gemma call in. Lou makes out she’s an accomplished stylist and with Gemma’s backing, persuades Audrey to give her a trial. Audrey wonders what she’s let herself in for. 

Calling at No.5, Asha tells Gemma that Lou is causing havoc in the salon and calling at the salon, Gemma finds Lou and Maria in the middle of a row.

When Lou chucks some hair dye over her, Maria tells her she’s fired. As Lou stalks out, Gemma goes after her and Lou confides in her that she has a son and is worried sick about him.

When Audrey asserts that she’s willing to give Lou a second chance as she’s brought a lot of clients with her, Maria despairs.
