Expecting a meeting about the environment, Brian, Roy, Gary and Maria join the audience in the community centre. But as Griff begins his address, his true agenda becomes clear and he’s left gobsmacked when Roy picks apart his argument by pointing out numerous factual errors in his speech. As the crowd begins to applaud Roy, a furious Griff realises he’s lost their support. 

In the cafe, Maria, Gary, Roy, Toyah and Brian decide the community centre would be a perfect place to offer help and advice to refugees. Meanwhile, David reads Max the riot act for skipping school to mix with Griff and demands it stops now but Max slams out of the house. At Griff’s flat, Max preens as he shows his film of the meeting. 

Coronation Street continues on Friday at 8pm.
