They've been been getting along well since he arrived back into her life, and next week on Coronation Street Faye Windass and her ex Jackson Hodge arrange to meet in town for a drink after his interview. Faye lies to boyfriend Craig Tinker that she's meeting a girlfriend.
Meanwhile Craig's mum Beth Sutherland tells husband Kirk she can’t make the meal he has booked as she is meeting some old pals for a drink. Faye meets up with Jackson in a hotel bar, and when Beth arrives with Marco in tow, the women share horrified looks, each having been caught on a date with their ex.
Faye returns home with Jackson in tow, but she’s taken aback to find Craig there baking cookies with her dad Tim and daughter Miley. Then Faye is torn when Jackson asks her to move down south with him as he has managed to get a new job. Her dilemma is compounded when Beth takes her to Victoria Street gardens where a small crowd has gathered including Jackson and Miley and Craig gets down on one knee declaring his undying love for her and asks her to marry him.
