Norris Cole and Mary Taylor's wedding is revealed to be a scam to win a Mr & Mrs competition
Coronation Street fans were shocked to discover that Norris Cole and Mary Taylor's wedding was a scam to win a Mr & Mrs competition. The long-time friends were never a couple, but that didn't stop Norris from entering them into the contest, with the grand prize being a trip to Cape Town.
Mary, who was already under stress due to her son Jude Appleton's plans to attend the wedding with his wife Angie and their baby, was not pleased by Norris's scheming. She prepared to phone the organisers to reveal the mistake, but their friend Rita Tanner stepped in with a crucial piece of information. It was revealed that Norris only entered the contest because he knew Mary wanted to visit Jude, who lives in Cape Town.
Despite the potential for their fake wedding to lead to real romance, Mary was nervous about the charade, especially when Angie started asking some very awkward questions about their "relationship". Angie's suspicions grew, leaving Mary visibly shaken.
With the wedding day fast approaching, Mary was faced with a difficult decision: to go through with the scam and win the trip to see her son, or to call off the marriage of convenience and risk disappointing Jude. The outcome of this dramatic turn of events would be revealed in the episodes airing on July 10 and 12, 2018.
