It is still New Year's Eve. Sally doesn't give Danny an immediate answer to his proposal - she wants to talk about it at home, this thought troubles him. Ken is depressed and he is determined to make a fresh start. The atmosphere is still tense at Anthony's house. Isabel is confused and uncomfortable but Amanda forces her to stay. Rita tries to confront Amanda but is interrupted by Norris. On New Year's Day, Danny is hurt at Sally's lack of response. Rita tells Anthony that she is determined not to let Amanda scare her off. Maria wants to spend the night with Tyrone, but he keeps changing the subject and she is not happy about this. Toyah, Geena and Liz are fed up with Fred, Mike and Duggie interfering. Danny tells Sally that if she doesn't want to marry him then they should split up so he can find someone who does.

Ken receives a letter telling him he is through to the next stage of his magistrate's application. He is pleased but still downhearted about Peter. Rita helps Anthony pack, Anthony is sad to be leaving behind so many memories. Sarah seems reluctant to see Glen again. Alex Swinton visits Roy and Hayley, he apologises for his previous actions and hints that Wayne wanted a pair of £60 trainers but they couldn't afford them. Roy gives him the money although he and Hayley both know that Wayne will never get anything. Sally tells Kevin about Danny's proposal, Kevin is stunned and tries to hide his regret. Sally admits that she is scared as she doesn't want things to go wrong again. Peter returns and apologises for his behaviour but still hints that he wants Ken's help.

Danny tells Sally he is not prepared to wait forever - this makes her think. Deirdre can't believe that Ken has agreed to lie for Peter, especially since he is applying for a magistrate's position. Tyrone gets upset with Kevin and Dennis for laughing at problem page letters in a newspaper, one in particular which he thinks was written by Maria. Wayne finds Roy and tells him he has run away. When Roy and Hayley tell Wayne he must go back to the children's home, he runs away again, Roy is annoyed because he thinks he has betrayed Wayne. Sally tells Danny to propose again, this time her answer is yes. Maria is upset because Tyrone thinks she wrote the letter and Tyrone is upset because he thinks all she wants is sex, as a result they call off their engagement.

Ken broods about Peter and Susan. Candice tells Sarah that Glen has been spreading rumours that he and Sarah slept together. Sarah is horrified so she confronts Glen and tells him to get lost. Roy and Hayley are determined to find Wayne. They see him waiting for them outside the cafe and manage to convince him to go back to the children's home. Ken demands to know what is wrong with Susan but Peter will not say. Rosie tries to speak to David about Harry Potter books and their parents but he is not at all interested. Ken phones Susan, although when she says nothing is wrong he is not convinced. Duggie proposes staff uniforms, they are tight and low-cut. The girls are not happy and Toyah announces that they are on strike. Danny suggests moving house, much to Sally's shock.

Toyah, Geena and Betty go on strike outside the Rovers. Ken threatens to go to Scotland to see Susan. Tyrone and Maria apologise and make up. Liz finds out that Jim is being moved to Leicester. She quits her job and decides to move to Leicester too. Sarah comes home from school early, she is upset because other pupils have been teasing her. Peter informs Ken that he told Susan about his plans and as a result Susan is planning to come down.

Danny produces estate agent details and he seems very keen to get the ball rolling. Sally still seems hesitant; she later expresses her concerns about moving to Gail. Linda volunteers to run the Rovers. Rita is annoyed at the way Anthony panders to Amanda. Peter Hartnell tells Roy and Hayley that he has found a foster home for Wayne Hayes. They are upset because they had hoped to foster him. Sally and Danny argue about moving away, Danny wants to get away from Kevin and have Sally to himself, but Sally is too attached to Weatherfield. Susan tells Ken she lied about the abortion when she left and now has a son, Adam, fathered by Mike.

Susan visits Ken again and explains why she kept her pregnancy a secret; she wanted to make absolutely sure that Mike would never find out. Ken feels upset that he has been left out for so long. He pleads with Susan to be able to see Adam and she eventually agrees. Sally agrees to move away, but only if they can make some home improvements first. Danny is sceptical about her motives. Liz leaves for Leicester. Linda arranges for Duggie to move into the Rovers with Toyah, much to Toyah's annoyance. Peter tries to talk to Karen but she is still annoyed with him for ignoring her so she sits with Vik instead. Steve agrees to let Eileen move in to No.11. Maria and Tyrone have a romantic dinner and sleep with each other for the first time.

Eileen moves into No. 11, Alex stirs up trouble with Roy, and Ken meets his grandson. Susan warns Deirdre that if she tells Mike about Adam, she and Ken will never see either of them again.

Breakfast at No.11 is awkward. Dennis is embarrassed in front of Todd and Jason. Eileen announces she is having a house-warming party. Maxine seems obsessed about becoming pregnant, she wants to have tests done on Ashley's hair to make sure he isn't deficient in anything. Deirdre is concerned that Mike should have a right to know about Adam. Curly and Emma return from New York. Dennis talks to Jason about his staying over but Jason is not very welcoming and implies that there have been many more before him; Dennis feels uncomfortable. Les wanders around trying to learn the "knowledge" and tells Vik he'll be able to drive for them when he passes - much to Vik's shock and horror. Ken and Deirdre discuss and then row about the situation with Susan and Mike. Ken tells her that she has to choose who she is more loyal to - him or Mike.

Sam buys a cheap tin of Greasol from his uncle Pat and keeps the rest of Kevin's money that he was given to buy it for himself. Les passes his taxi-driving test, much to the annoyance of Vik. Vik and Steve lie and tell Les they can't afford to employ him. Maxine demands that Ashley takes time off work to come home and have sex when she demands it in the hope of conceiving. Ken asks Dev if Deirdre can have some time off work so they can both go and visit Tracy in London. Deirdre is annoyed with him for this because it makes her look bad in front of Dev. Gail and Martin go together to the school for parents' evening.

Maria tells Tyrone she has a rash. Danny volunteers to do more decorating but Sally is not keen; the sooner the house is finished, the sooner Danny will expect them to move. Maxine and Ashley take more time off work to sleep with each other. Mike and Duggie plan to encourage families into the Rovers to increase profits. Les starts work with Street Cars but disappears for hours after picking up an attractive woman passenger. Todd has difficulty with his homework. Eileen tells him to go and see Charlie for help but she slams the door in his face.

Janice firmly believes Les spent the night with his female customer. Dennis convinces Eileen to make peace with Charlie and invite her to the party. Les returns. It transpires that his customer wanted to go to Prestwick not Prestwich but Janice storms out on him before he can explain. Sam has developed a rash also. Tyrone thinks Sam and Maria must have slept together and that is where the rash has come from. Kevin confronts Sally as he feels he is being pushed out of Rosie and Sophie's lives. Sally seems torn between Danny and Kevin.

Dennis doesn't seem as keen as Eileen to move in with each other. Sally goes to Newcastle to help her sister and family while she is in hospital, but she is uneasy at the thought of leaving Danny alone with the girls. Geena and Linda discuss ways of making Geena and Dev's relationship more "official"; as a result, Linda invites them to dinner with her and Mike. Tyrone actually admits that he thinks Sam and Maria have slept together. Tyrone and Maria have a row about this but when he sees how upset she is he believes her and they make up. Sam realises the rash he and Maria have has been caused by his tin of Greasol. Anthony and Rita go out and when they return Amanda is waiting outside claiming to have lost her keys. Amanda expects Anthony to go home with her but he is firm and says no. This annoys Amanda and when Anthony is out of earshot she threatens Rita by implying that she will never let Anthony go. Dennis tells Eileen that he is not ready to move in with her.

Eileen shouts at Todd and Jason for not making Dennis welcome. They are happy that he is not moving in. Roy and Hayley receive a copy of Peter Hartnell's report, which is very encouraging, but Roy finds it hard to be happy as he thinks that the worst is yet to come. Les threatens Jason regarding Dennis but Jason doesn't seem to pay much attention. Tyrone shouts at Danny for selling the dodgy tub of Greasol. Dev and Geena go to Mike and Linda's flat for dinner. Mostly Dev and Mike talk about business, but later in the evening Dev feels sorry for Mike and tells him about his son Adam. Roy and Hayley find out that instead of having months to prepare for their panel interview, they have until the end of the week. Dennis goes to see Eileen, apologises and says he is prepared to move in if she will have him. Sam owns up about the Greasol, Tyrone is furious. In the midst of their argument Tyrone ruins Jack and Vera's new kitchen by putting a hot bowl on the work surface.

Rita lets slip to Kevin that Danny has been looking after the children while Sally has been away. He is annoyed that he was not informed. Roy and Hayley have their interview with social services and it seems to go well but they have to wait longer for a decision to be reached because one of the panel members falls ill and had to be rushed to hospital. Mike desperately tries to track down someone to help him find out about his son. He finds Blanche in the Rovers, who tells him that Susan lives in Glasgow. Kevin confronts Danny - he doesn't really want to fight but he doesn't want to back down either. Tyrone has to apologise to Danny so as he can ask him to fix the Duckworths' kitchen. Peter Hartnell goes to visit Roy and Hayley to tell them their application has been successful.

Mike leaves for Glasgow where he spends the day sitting in his car outside Susan's flat having lied to Linda telling her that he was going there on business. Kevin is still unhappy that Danny has been left in charge of the children. Hayley is over the moon at their acceptance but Roy seems more subdued. Danny goes to repair the Duckworths' kitchen, but Tyrone seems to have done it more harm than good. Danny tells him there is no way it will be repaired before Jack and Vera get back. Anthony suggests that he and Rita should go on holiday, but Rita is not so keen as she doesn't want to make matters worse with his family. Kevin finds it hard to cope when Sophie and Rosie talk about Danny as their other dad. Karen and Steve flirt and are obviously attracted to one another, despite the fact that Karen is seeing Vik.

Mike is desperate to talk to Susan. She says he can have five minutes. Sally finally agrees with Danny that they will move house. Steve lets Vik know that he fancies Karen. Mike is angry with Susan for keeping Adam from him for twelve years. As children are now allowed into the Rovers this is winding Betty up, especially when David goes up to the bar and says "Two cokes when you're ready, Betty love". Hayley warns Linda that she will need some time off work when they start fostering. Linda asks Geena if she fancies a night out as she thinks Mike is still up in Scotland on business. Geena feels guilty as she knows the truth. Susan accuses Peter of having told Mike that he has a son. Peter denies it as he knows that he hasn't told anyone. Deirdre confesses that she told Dev about Adam. Ken is furious. Deirdre confronts Dev and he admits that he told Mike that he has a

Todd and Jason get to grips with Dennis being around and he offers to make a curry to make them feel more comfortable around him. Eileen appreciates his efforts. Ken and Deirdre row about Dev telling Mike about Susan and Adam.

Rita suggests to Anthony that he moves in next door in Alec Gilroy's old flat. Danny and Kevin use Rosie and Sophie to score points off each other. Sam distributes flyers advertising his return to stripping as The Masked Python. Todd and Jason try and take the mickey out of Dennis telling him that they always had a Chinese takeaway on Fridays but he and Eileen turn the tables on the disgusted pair by getting a meal that they say is baby octopus cooked in its own ink. Linda confides to Geena about her worries about Mike but Geena reveals all about Mike and Susan's child. Linda is dismayed to find that she's the last to know. Susan arrives and summons Mike and Ken to a meeting. Mike pledges to follow Susan's wishes, but Ken accuses him of trying to disrupt Adam's life for the sake of it. Mike teases Ken about his strained relationship with his own daughter. The conversation ends in a bitter row. Mike forces Deirdre to admit that she thinks Ken is in the wrong.

Rita helps Anthony to move into No.12, hindered slightly by nosy Norris interfering. Tyrone accompanies Sam at the car auctions when Sam wants to buy an old banger. Mike continues to lie to a suspicious Linda and sends her shopping to get her off his case when he goes to have a meeting with Susan. Despite initial misgivings, they tentatively agree to get along for Adam's sake. Susan hints that she might let Mike have access to Adam. Peter Hartnell visits Roy and Hayley and asks them if they are ready to foster a teenage girl called Jackie Mosley. Hayley overrides Roy's reluctance and enthusiastically agrees. Geena convinces Dev to apologise to Deirdre for letting her walk out. Danny has made a bookcase. When he answers the door to Gail it falls on Sophie. Although not seriously hurt, Matt advises Danny to take her to the hospital for a check-up. Linda walks in on Mike and Susan, forcing Mike to admit everything.

Danny and Kevin continue their feud in Sally's absence, with Kevin looking after the girls and goading Danny as unfit to look after children. There's a leak in the cellar at the medical centre, with Gail, Molly and Matt all unable to work because of the terrible smell. Matt threatens to report Duggie to the council for shoddy building work so Duggie promises to sort it out. Hayley buys teenage magazines in preparation for the arrival of Jackie Mosley. An ill-tempered Kevin stops Sam from using the garage to fix up his car, so David asks Gail if Sam can use their garage at No.8. Gail agrees, and is bemused by Sam and David's friendship. As she feels guilty about her relationship with Mark, Linda confides to Geena that she will support Mike in his fight for access to Adam.

Sally returns from visiting her sick sister and is angry to hear that Danny and Kevin have been fighting in her absence. She reminds Danny of Kevin's right to see his own children, but angrily confronts Kevin about punching Danny. Roy and Hayley anxiously await the arrival of Jackie Mosley, their first foster child. Duggie accuses Steve of being a cowboy, regarding the shoddy building work in the medical centre. Steve reminds Duggie that he paid cowboy wages and shouldn't have expected anything better. When challenged by Matt,

Hayley and Roy are overenthusiastic in their treatment of Jackie Mosley and are disappointed when she wants to go about her normal business. Charlie is unhappy at having to go to No.4 for dinner, but Matt is eager to get to know the neighbours. Rita is uneasy with Anthony's decision to divorce Isabel, and refuses to talk about it. Matt has a visit from Liz Morrisey, the buildings control manager who promises to sort out the smell in the medical centre. She confronts Duggie over his shoddy work, and informs him that he'll never get another council contract. Rita confides in Emily about Anthony's divorce.

Mike phones Susan and gives her one last chance to let him see Adam, before threatening to take legal advice. Norris goes to see Matt, complaining about sore knees, but Matt has a hangover from the night before. Roy and Hayley discuss whether to tell Jackie Mosley about Hayley's sexuality. Peter and Ken worry about Susan after finding out about Mike's threat. Ken calls Susan but she ignores the phone as she is busy packing suitcases for her and Adam. She tells her baffled son that they are running away to start a new life. Amanda visits Rita again, and find they have some common ground on the subject of Anthony's divorce, but Amanda accuses Rita of having a master plan to destroy their family

Everyone is stunned at Susan's death. Rita tells Anthony that she doesn't approve of him divorcing Isabel. Ken, Mike and Peter rush to the hospital where they discover that Adam has survived the crash with only minor cuts and bruises. Ken identifies Susan's body. Geena decides that to raise some money for Emily's charity, the Friends of Weatherfield Hospital, they should have a "kiss for a pound" evening in the Rovers. Ken breaks the news to Adam about his mother's death. Adam is distraught. Sarah and Candice chat up Todd and Jason. Ken hates himself for not having been a better father to Susan, and now it's too late. Roy and Hayley are concerned about Jackie Mosley as they have seen her with Jason.

Ken is trying to come to terms with Susan's death and deciding Adam's future. David sends both Martin and Gail valentine cards; each one purporting to be from the other person. They are not taken in and Martin has a word with David about it. Roy and Hayley realise that parenting isn't as easy as it looks. Dev gets jealous when Geena goes ahead with her "pound a kiss" charity night at the Rovers. He hates watching her being kissed by all the regulars. Ken finds out from Adam that when Susan crashed the car they were actually leaving Scotland for Ireland and not driving to Weatherfield as he'd thought. He realises that Susan was running away with Adam and proceeds to blame Mike for the whole thing. He thinks that if Mike hadn't started hounding Susan to let him see Adam she would never have left and so never have died.

Susan's funeral takes place. She is buried next to her mother, Val. Mike turns up uninvited to the funeral. Adam finds it all too much and runs crying from the graveside. Mike stops him and tells him that he is his father. Adam punches him. Peter Hartnell comes to collect Jackie Mosley to take her back to her real mum. Roy and Hayley are very sad to see her go. Jackie buys them some chocolates as a thank-you. Rita is still very upset with Anthony and tells Sally that she feels like the "scarlet woman". Sam has been chucked out by his mum so Kevin tells him he can stay with him. Mike,

Ken prepares to take Adam up to Scotland to get his belongings. Peter gets drunk again so it's decided that it would be better for Adam to stay with Ken and Deirdre rather than at Peter's flat. Sam still hasn't anywhere to stay. Gail invites him in for lunch and they get on really well. Vik and Karen set up Bobbi and Steve on a date. They get on really well until Steve blows it at the end of the evening by suggesting they go back to Bobbi's flat. She storms out of the restaurant. Anthony invites Rita for dinner. They have a row before they've eaten and Rita leaves. Mike takes legal advice about getting custody of Adam. His solicitor tells him it's possible but it will take time. Peter breaks down. He blames himself for Susan's death.

Ken and Adam set off for Glasgow to collect Adam's belongings. Deirdre is concerned as it becomes clear that Ken wants Adam to move in with them rather than Peter. Sarah decides that she fancies Todd and Candice fancies his older brother Jason. They are both upset when they find out that Jason thinks that Candice is too young and Todd admits to Sarah that he fancies Candice. Anthony and Rita have a reconciliation. Rita still doesn't approve of him divorcing Isabel but she realises that she can't go on without Anthony as he means too much to her. Natalie phones Geena and tells her that she had a baby girl called Laura, 9lb 3oz. Much to Sally's annoyance, Kevin goes to visit Natalie and the baby. Karen cooks Vik a birthday meal but his car breaks down so he can't make it. Steve ends up eating Vik's share and he and Karen become quite intimate. When Karen kisses

Vik suspects that something has gone on between Karen and Steve. Karen tells him that Steve tried it on and she turned him down. Steve tries to tell him the truth but he believes Karen. Vik tells Steve that it's the end of their friendship and the Street Cars business. Sally is still concerned that Kevin is staying with Natalie. Ken and Adam are back from Glasgow. Ken suggests to Deirdre that they should all move to Glasgow and live in Susan's flat as it would be easier for Adam. Deirdre is not keen on the idea at all. Jason tells Candice that Todd really fancies her. Candice asks him out and he agrees. Sarah is most put out as it was she who fancied Todd originally. Adam bumps into Mike in the street.

Ashley and Maxine invite Emma and Curly, Charlie and Matt round for supper. Charlie and Emma get on really well and Maxine ends up feeling left out. She's been reading up on fertility and makes Ashley stand in the garden to "cool down". Vik still doesn't believe Steve and is still hell-bent on breaking up their partnership. Dev offers Steve £12,000 to sell him his half of the Street Cars business. Deirdre tells Ken that she's told Adam the truth about Mike. Ken is furious and is more determined than ever to move up to Glasgow. He goes to see a solicitor who says he has a good chance of getting custody but implies that it might be better if he and Deirdre were married. Ken shocks Deirdre by asking her to marry him. Gail asks Sam to stop for tea. The kids are delighted as Sarah fancies him and David wants to be a mechanic just like Sam.

Vik finds out the truth about Karen coming on to Steve. He apologises to Steve. Deirdre tells Ken she won't marry him just to improve his chances of custody of Adam. Ken is gutted. She further upsets Ken by saying she thinks perhaps Mike should get custody of Adam. Mike shows Adam round the factory and then takes him into the back room of the Rovers for a meal. Adam is uneasy at first but they get on okay. Martin comments to Gail that he can't understand why Sam is always hanging around the house and why he lets David help him at the garage. Sally is concerned that Kevin is thinking of visiting Natalie again. Ashley, Matt, Charlie, Curly and Emma go to a Weatherfield County football match together but Maxine refuses to go. Later she wishes she had gone as she feels very left out.

Ken and Deirdre are still at odds over Adam staying with them. Ken takes Adam to enrol at Weatherfield Comprehensive. Later Mike tells Ken about the interim custody hearing and Ken is adamant that he will keep Adam. Adam overhears their row and is very upset. Emma is worried about the inquest on Dean Sykes so Curly takes a day off work to be able to go and support her on the day. Sam tells Audrey about Gail's cooking, so Audrey turns up at No.8 at teatime to see what is going on with Gail and Sam. Ryan and Jimmy Sykes ask their sister Linda for £300 so Ryan can look for work in London.

Candice tells Sarah that she gave Todd a love bite. Sarah is disapproving. Eileen teases Todd about his love bite which he desperately tries to hide. Eileen worries about Todd - fearing Candice is too mature for him and asks Dennis to have a manly chat with him. Todd won't listen to Dennis as he's not his father and Dennis feels a failure in the task. Deirdre takes Adam to work with her. Adam is tearful about Susan, and Mike witnesses the scene and decides to take him out for the day. Mike, Adam and Linda go for pizza and Adam has a great time.

Eileen reminds Todd, Jason and Dennis about Candice coming to tea. It is the day of the inquest - Emma gets flowers of support from her work colleagues and Ken and Alma wish her luck. Peter gives Ken a photo of Susan and Adam and Ken determines to do as Susan wanted and not let Mike see Adam. Steve and Karen spent the night together and almost get caught out by Vik. It is nearly Norris's sixtieth birthday and he drops constant hints about it. Ken has a heart-to-heart with Peter, admitting that he's worried about losing Adam to wealthy Mike. Peter tells Ken that Adam is well-off as Susan left all her money to Adam. The verdict is lawful killing, but Emma still feels bad towards Linda's family and doesn't feel like celebrating. Adam wants to know why Ken and Mike hate each other and Ken tries to be diplomatic.

Candice tells Sarah that she's her alibi that night for Darren Michaels when she's at No.11 with Todd. Sarah doesn't agree with Candice having two boyfriends. Ken offers to take Adam to a local football match but Mike turns up with tickets to Manchester United v Leeds. Adam is confused but Ken tells him he can go with Mike. Curly is reluctant to leave Emma so soon after the inquest and has asked Alma to keep an eye on her. Vik tells Geena about Karen and Steve, and tells her that he isn't bothered about it. Emma agrees to have Norris's birthday party at No.7.

Emma finds that someone has ripped open a load of bin bags and thrown rubbish all over the back yard. Ken is planning to move to Scotland with Adam. Peter says he will go too. Ken then broaches the subject with Deirdre. She is very upset that he discussed it with everyone else first. Ken tells her that he's going to move with or without her. She packs her bags and leaves. Whilst standing at the bus stop in tears, Dev sees her and takes her back to his flat. Candice tells Todd that she was about to dump Darren Michaels anyway. Todd accepts this and they are back together. Emily plans a surprise party at No.7 for Norris's sixtieth birthday.

Dev gives Deirdre the day off because she's so upset. He tells her to stay in his flat for the day. Mike calls round looking for Dev and Deirdre invites him in. She lets slip to Mike that Ken is thinking of taking Adam to Scotland. Meanwhile Ken calls round to try and patch things up with Deirdre. He is furious to find Mike there and even more annoyed that she's told him about his Scotland plans. He storms off leaving Deirdre very shaken. Anthony and Norris apologise to Rita for getting so drunk and missing the party. Rita forgives them. Fred decides that as a marketing ploy he's going to arrange a "Sausage Trail".

Emma and Charlie have a night in at No.7 as Curly is still away. Deirdre goes round to No.1 to pick up some clothes. She bumps into Ken and they talk. He apologises for his behaviour and they hug and make up. However Ken then admits that he's glad she's back as it's the hearing in a couple of days and he needs her there. Deirdre is furious as she thinks this is the only reason he wants her back. She storms out and goes back to Dev's flat. Geena is getting fed up of having Deirdre staying there, feeling that she and Dev have no privacy. Emma accuses Linda of having put the brick through her window. Linda denies it and in turn accuses Ryan of having done it. Ryan denies it but Linda doesn't believe him.

Dev persuades Deirdre that she should go to the custody hearing and support Ken. Martin tells David that he wants him to go shopping with him after school. David is disappointed as he wanted to help Sam at the garage. Maxine is upset to find that she's still not pregnant. At the custody hearing, Mike and Ken are at loggerheads both making snide comments across the courtroom. To everyone's surprise, Adam turns up at the court. He isn't allowed into the hearing but the court welfare officer, Tom Bowden, has a chat with him and tells him that his preference as to who he wants to live with will be taken into consideration. Maxine is hurt when she finds out that Emma and Charlie had a girly night in the night before and she wasn't invited.

Deirdre stays the night on the settee at No.1 as she feels Ken needs her support. Dev tells Deirdre she's welcome back to his flat for as long as she likes. Geena is furious with Dev and tells him that Deirdre has to go. Dev changes his tune and tells Deirdre that he really thinks it would be a shame if she and Ken split up. Dev encourages Deirdre to talk to Ken and try and sort things out. Mike and Adam start getting to know one another. Adam tells Mike that he would like to go to a different school. Emma tells Charlie that she is not even going to tell Curly about Ryan holding her hostage as it would only worry him. Charlie tells Matt about the incident. Linda realises that there is something up with Ryan and manages to get the whole story out of him.

Ken is depressed. Peter tells him that he's noticed Deirdre eyeing up Dev. Ken doesn't believe him. He knows that Deirdre has left because of him and not for another man. Linda tells Ryan that she's spoken to Emma and that Emma is not going to press charges but that Ryan has to stay away from her. Ryan is relieved. Duggie is annoyed because yet again Mike and Fred fail to turn up to a business meeting regarding the Rovers. Mike and Fred both make it clear to Duggie that the Rovers is low on their list of priorities.

Adam complains that he doesn't like his school. Mike decides to do something about it and makes arrangements for him to attend Oakhill School which is a local private school. Mike is put out when Adam shows little enthusiasm as he was hoping to be sent back to the private school he went to in Glasgow but as a boarder. The cleaner at the medical centre doesn't show up for work. Matt has to do the cleaning himself as Molly refuses. They offer the cleaning job to Edna. Dev tells Deirdre that he will be late home as there is a crisis at the Swinton shop. David helps Sam clean his car ready for its MOT. Dug

Deirdre feels very silly and awkward in front of Dev. She apologises to him for her behaviour and says that she will find somewhere else to live. Jason goes to Lancaster to run in a Northwest Regional Competition which he wins. Adam is going to spend the day with Ken. Mike tells him not to mention anything about the school problem. Deirdre and Dev agree to be friends. Blanche tries to dissuade Deirdre from looking for a flat. Fred and Mike offer Duggie £12,000 for his share of the Rovers. Duggie tells them what they can do with their offer. All three originally paid £20,000 each. Sam's car passes its MOT.

Vik is in a good mood after his night out with Bobbi. Peter assures Ken he won't mention that he saw him and Alma kissing. Sarah is walking on air because Sam gives her a lift to school in his car. Candice is jealous. Fred and Mike decide to turn up at the Rovers and meet Duggie's valuer. When they get there Duggie says the valuer has already been and gone. He tells Mike and Fred that their offer of £14,000 wasn't far out as the bottom has fallen out of the market. Mike and Fred are worried. Curly arrives back. He finds out from Blanche that Charlie stayed with Emma while he was away, and wants to know why. He finds out from Danny that a window was broken which Danny mended.

Geena is fed up that Deirdre is back at Dev's flat. Mike books a holiday in Florida for him and Adam but Linda says she'll stay at home. Adam starts at Oakhill School and says it's better than Weatherfield Comprehensive. Fred tries to find out the secret sausage recipe from Boris Weaver but fails. David steals Sarah's diary. In the diary she fantasises about Sam. David confronts Sam who says that Sarah has made it up and tells David to put the diary back and not to mention it. David does as he's told. Duggie tells Fred and Mike that he thinks he's found a buyer for the Rovers - an old rugby playing friend of his.

Jason receives a letter from the UK Athletics Federation inviting him to join their youth squad at their training camp in Lanzarote because of his success in the National Under-Twenties Championship. He is delighted until he realises it costs £500 to go. Bobbi tells Geena that Dev is seeing someone else. Geena is gutted. Maxine is annoyed that Ashley is spending all his time perfecting his sausage recipe instead of trying to get her pregnant. Emma and Curly invite Matt and Charlie for Sunday lunch to say sorry for involving them in the Ryan business.

Fred, Mike and Duggie have a meeting to sew up the sale of the Rovers with Colin Fielding, representative of the purchaser Hamilton Griffiths Holdings, Brian Hudson, solicitor and Phil Everett, brief. Mike manages to push the price up to £18,000 for each of them. Just as they are about to sign, Mike smells a rat. It turns out that Duggie is the main investor of Hamilton Griffiths Holdings and therefore the new owner of the Rovers. Fred and Mike are furious. Jason is still upset that he can't go to Lanzarote. Dennis offers to lend him the money but Eileen won't hear of it. Ashley tries out his various sausage recipes on Matt, Charlie, Emma and Curly.

Duggie explains to the staff that he is now the landlord of the Rovers. Neither Sarah nor David are speaking to Martin after the way he treated Sam. Gail chats to Sally about the Sarah and Sam situation and Sally makes her realise that it's just a schoolgirl crush on Sarah's part. Gail feels guilty for ever doubting her and is very angry towards Martin. Jason decides to start a car cleaning service in his spare time to raise money for his trip to Lanzarote. Duggie tells Geena that she's in charge of the Rovers when he's not there. F

Gail tells Sarah that she believes her and they make up. Martin is still sceptical about Sam. Sarah is angry with Martin and Gail apologises to Sam. Jason only manages to raise £16 by washing cars and tells Dennis he's going to give up. Dennis tells him that he'll give him £300 towards Lanzarote so long as he doesn't mention it to Eileen. Jason is pleased. Norris is excited about being the newly appointed enumerator for the National Census. Fred decides to hold the Sausage Trail final at the cafe instead of the Rovers so as to take the business away from Duggie. Roy agrees but Fred has to donate a month's supply of sausages to the local Soup Run.

David is upset because Sam moves his car from the garage at No.8. Ryan offers Tyrone some stolen CD players to sell through the garage. Ryan tells Tyrone that they're legitimate and Tyrone believes him and agrees to try selling them thinking of the money he can make for the wedding. Sunita's brother Jayesh Parekh comes into the shop looking for Sunita. Although Dev gets rid of him, Jayesh smells a rat. Jayesh passes a photo of her round the Rovers. Peter asks Duggie for a job as a barman in the Rovers. Duggie agrees. On Peter's first night behind the bar, he helps himself to the Scotch, unnoticed and then persuades Duggie,

Maxine has been studying the internet and she's found a website that tells you when you're most fertile. It's today so she books the afternoon off work and tells Ashley she'll see him at home. Ashley hasn't got time because it's the day of the Weatherfield Sausage Trail finals. Roy sees Fred trying to push fake voting slips in his favour into the ballot box at the Sausage Trail competition. Roy stops him. Jayesh Parekh turns up at the flat and forces his way in past Dev and Geena. He finds Sunita. Jayesh tries to force her to come home but she refuses.

Sally and Danny go and view a new house on The Willows development just off Park Road and decide to put their name down for one of the plots. Ryan delivers the dodgy CD players to Tyrone. Tyrone discovers that they are all just clip-on fronts with no mechanism. He's been had. Ashley isn't speaking to Fred. Fred tries to make the peace but Ashley won't listen. Toyah sees Peter helping himself to whisky behind the bar. Duggie offers Peter a full-time job behind the bar. Peter accepts. Audrey tells Peter she's going to represent Weatherfield on a town-twinning visit on the Costa del Sol, Spain. Sunita's parents try to persuade her back home.

Ashley's sausage has been analysed and is pure meat and not vegetarian as Fred said. Tyrone and Jason try to demand their money back from Ryan for the dud CD players. Ryan just laughs at them and says "sold as seen". Audrey asks Curly to be her campaign manager for the forthcoming local election. He agrees. Sally tries to talk to Kevin about her wedding with Danny; she asks Kevin for his blessing but he walks off. Dev realises that by siding with Sunita he has probably made an enemy of the Parekh family who are wealthy and well connected. Kevin is depressed about his children being brought up by another man, Danny. He gets very drunk and is rude to Rita. Rita tells Sally and Sally tells Kevin that they must talk. David is still pestering Sam.

David confesses to Martin that he's scratched Sam's car. Martin tells him to say nothing but not to do it again. Ryan steals some cash from the factory to pay Dennis. Linda knows it was him. Dennis gets £200 off Ryan and gives £100 to Tyrone who is therefore still owed more. Maria sees Tyrone counting his money and he has to lie and say it's his wages. Eileen finds some empty CD boxes under the stairs. Dennis and Jason have to tell Eileen the truth. Eileen is angry with Dennis for giving Jason money behind her back. Dennis tries to give the other £100 he collected from Ryan back to Jason but Eileen swipes it. Curly wants to discuss Audrey's manifesto with her but she is preoccupied with her forthcoming business trip to Spain regarding possible twinning with Weatherfield. Sunita's parents turn up to hear her final decision.

Eileen is still annoyed with Dennis for giving Jason £300. Norris is worried about pains in his legs. Edna cheerfully tells him it's probably "restless legs" - the onset of arthritis. Linda gets Ryan to clean the factory on Saturday morning - five hours at £4 per hour. Ryan is keen as he needs the extra money. When he's finished Linda says he only needs to do another nine Saturdays and he will have paid back the money he stole from Underworld. Linda tells him if he rips her off again he's out on his ear. Kevin has disappeared and Sally is worried. Duggie, Steve and Peter arrange to have a game of poker in the Rovers' back room. Steve brings taxi driver Vernon Bradshaw along too. Matt joins in later.

Norris starts to take his census forms round the street. Toyah sees Phil Simmonds in The Kabin. She tries to be friendly but Phil is still upset with her for "siding" with Duggie. Sally is very worried about Kevin who is still missing. Gail tells her that she shouldn't be so hung up about her ex-husband. Sally tells Gail about Kevin making a pass at her, her rejecting him and then his disappearance. Sunita starts work in the corner shop. Deirdre is a bit peeved until Dev tells her that now Sunita is behind the counter he and Deirdre can swan about managing the other shops.

She arranges to hand over the cheque at lunchtime with a photographer present. Danny is convinced that Kevin has disappeared on purpose just to worry Sally and so ruin their wedding. Alma arranges to go and stay with Frank in Much Wenlock. Sam and Toyah arrange to go to a gig together. Audrey hands over the cheque to Jason. It's only for £35. Jason goes berserk and the photographer captures the moment. Fred takes Evelyn out for the evening and introduces her to Mike, Ashley and Maxine. Peter offers to work Toyah's shift for her. She feels uneasy because he's being nice.

Kevin turns up. He's been to his sister Debbie's trying to get his head round Sally's wedding. He walks into the Rovers where Sally is having her hen night and says he still wants her. He starts to shout about the sex they had before his wedding to Alison but Sally hits him across the face. Sally is worried that he'll tell Danny about the sex. Audrey finds out that Fred has a girlfriend called Evelyn. She feels put out. Miss Harper and a colleague from weights and measures, at the council's trading standards department carry out some tests on the whisky in the Rovers. It's been watered down.

Jason discovers Toyah lying in the alley; she has been raped. Eileen fears that Jason will be the main suspect. Sally tells Danny that she had sex with Kevin the night before his wedding to Alison.

Toyah is traumatised after her rape ordeal. She is interviewed by the police again. She is headline news in the Gazette and Toyah realises that she's never going to be allowed to forget what happened. Danny's brother Kieran calls at No.13 to collect the rest of Danny's stuff. Sally was hoping to persuade Danny to come home but it starts to dawn on her that this isn't going to happen. The police start conducting door to door interviews. They start with Duggie at the Rovers and Jason because he found Toyah. Les feels useless - he really wants to help Toyah but doesn't know what to do. Adam asks Mike if he can go back to his school in Scotland as a boarder. Alma has a wonderful time staying with Frank in Much Wenlock. They kiss passionately.

Geena calls round to see Toyah. Toyah tells her that she keeps going over the rape in her head. Duggie calls round to see Toyah and tells her that she can have her job back. Toyah is frightened of him; she thinks that perhaps it was he who raped her. Roy and Hayley start to foster a girl called Fiona but she tells them that she prefers to be called Fiz. She turns out to be quite awkward and Roy and Hayley feel a little out of their depth. Danny turns up at No.13. Sally begs him to give their relationship another chance but he refuses. Sally breaks down. Danny tells her that he's phoned the estate agent and cancelled the new house. He tells Sally that he wants £12,000 for his share of the shop. Fred and Evelyn go for dinner at Mike and Linda's flat. To everyone's shock it turns out that Evelyn is Linda's mother.

Mike concedes and tells Adam that he can go back to his old school in Glasgow. Everyone suspects Peter and there is an immediate hush when he turns up for work in the Rovers. Les sees him and goes demented, pushing Peter up against a wall and threatening him. Duggie has to split them up. Sally gives Danny his cheque for £12,000. She can't persuade him to stay. Peter realises that even Ken has doubts over his innocence. Fiz and Hayley go shopping. Fiz makes Hayley buy some trendy clothes as it's her wedding anniversary. Hayley puts them on for Roy but he laughs at her. Edna tells Toyah that everyone suspects Peter; Toyah bumps into him.

Rosie and Sophie are upset as they're missing Danny. David is horrible to Sophie, calling her a crybaby and pushing her over. Sally shouts at David. Fiz pretends to be ill so that she can skive off school. Roy doesn't believe her but Hayley does. Later Hayley finds Fiona in the corner shop and accuses her of lying to her and Roy. Fiz apologises and offers to cook tea for all of them. Roy and Hayley go to the Rovers. Meanwhile Fiz leaves a frying pan unattended and sets the cooker in the cafe on fire. Roy is furious with Fiz. Adam is excited about going back to Glasgow. He asks Ken to travel up with him, Mike and Linda.

Roy feels guilty for shouting at Fiz. Hayley comforts him and tells Fiz that Roy is sorry. Alma receives a letter from the medical centre telling her she needs to go for repeat smear test. Charlie confides in Toyah that she was raped too when she was a student. Peter Hartnell calls at the cafe to collect Fiz, as she's made an allegation against Roy saying that he hit her. Roy is devastated as he knows it's not true. Phil Simmonds calls in the Rovers and tells Duggie that he'll settle for £1,000 out of court. Duggie tells him where to go. Phil asks where Toyah is and Duggie tells him that she's been raped. Audrey, still in Spain, phones to say she's delayed so Curly has to start her election campaign without her. Matt is approached by Gazette reporter Jo Simpson wanting to run a story on the "smear scare scandal". Matt gets rid of her.

Peter Hartnell calls on Roy and Hayley. He now knows Fiz was lying and apparently she's done it before. Roy is relieved. All the women turn up at the medical centre for their repeat smear tests. The Gazette has run a story entitled "Weatherfield Women in Cancer Scare". Jason asks Sally for a job in her shop but she turns him down. Peter gets the results of his DNA test and he's in the clear. He bangs on Toyah's door wanting to show her the letter. Toyah is scared and runs out of the back and bumps into Phil Simmonds. Phil calms her down and delivers her to Janice at the factory. David lends Rosie his computer game and she's chuffed to bits. Curly is furious when he finds out that Audrey has now finished her council business in Spain but has decided to stay on for a few days' holiday.

Mike and Ken take Adam back to his school in Glasgow. Ken realises that Mike does have Adam's best interests at heart and tells him he won't be challenging the custody order. Emma suggests to Curly that he would make a better councillor than Audrey. Dennis has a word with Sally about Jason and Sally changes her mind and offers him the job, Jason accepts. Norris reminds everyone that the census forms have to be completed today but only remembers to complete his own when reminded. Charlie calls to see Toyah and together they go down the ginnel at the back of the houses to try and jog Toyah's memory. She remembers that someone called her name just before the attack, she recognised the voice but can't place it. Toyah is on her own at No.5, the phone rings, she answers it, but the person on the other end doesn't say anything. Toyah is scared stiff.

Both Gail and Martin receive their decrees absolute and they are now divorced. They decide they will tell Sarah and David together. Audrey arrives back from Spain. Alma tells her that she's moving out to live in Much Wenlock with Frank. Curly is getting fed up with Audrey's lack of interest in canvassing for the election. She appears to expect Curly to do all the work. Duggie gets his DNA test back and it's negative. Duggie offers Peter his job back. Alma has an appointment at the medical centre. Matt tells her that she has a growth at the neck of her womb. He tells her that he's referring her to a specialist. Phil Simmonds calls round at No.5 to see Toyah. While Toyah is in the kitchen, Phil calls her name. Toyah is petrified - she recognises his voice as that of the rapist. She tries to escape but Phil grabs hold of her. Peter hears the screams, breaks in, rescues Toyah and catches Phil.

Peter is being treated as a hero for catching Phil Simmonds. The police tell Toyah that Phil has denied the rape charge. Toyah can't believe it, he admitted it to her. They now have to wait for the results of a DNA test. Alma tells Audrey about her visit to the medical centre. She admits to Audrey that she's scared and she thinks she's got cancer. Audrey turns up at an election campaign meeting with the opposition Desmond Worthing and members of the public. She is hopeless, she can't concentrate for thinking about Alma and the opposition makes mincemeat out of her. Audrey leaves saying she's not well and Curly takes the stand instead. Curly is brilliant and the audience love him. Emma suggests that Curly should stand for the council on his own. Curly agrees. Gail and Martin tells the kids that they are now divorced. David is very upset. Duggie calls round and offers Toyah her job back at the Rovers.

Curly tells Audrey he'll be standing against her in the elections. She doesn't seem bothered. David is still very upset about his parents' divorce. He talks to Rosie about it. Audrey goes with Alma to the hospital. They confirm that Alma has a tumour and they give her a body scan to see if there are any other tumours. Alma is frightened and upset. The police call at No.5 and give Toyah the good news that the DNA test from Phil Simmonds has come back and is a perfect match. Toyah is now scared that Phil will say she consented to sex with him simply because it's his only line of defence.

Jack and Vera tell Tyrone that he can have Maria over to stay in his bedroom as they're engaged. Tyrone is embarrassed but Maria is delighted. The hospital tells Alma that she has got cancer and it is incurable as it has spread so far. Les and Janice persuade Toyah to go out for a drink. She agrees but gets upset when she realises that everyone is looking at her. Curly starts putting his manifesto together and canvassing in the Rovers. Rosie and David play a computer game and talk about their parents and divorce. Norris is upset when David and Simon Green hide his trolley full of census forms. Audrey points out to the consultant that Alma could have been treated a lot sooner if there hadn't been the cock-up with the smear tests.

Alma is trying to come to terms with her illness - she knows she's going to die soon. Alma tells Frank that she has incurable cancer. Frank is distraught. Emily agrees to help Curly with his election campaign. Duggie agrees to let Edna have a trial period behind the bar because they are short-staffed. Tyrone and Maria are enjoying sharing a room at No.9. They can't get enough sex and only appear briefly at mealtimes. Frank tells Alma that he doesn't want her to move to Much Wenlock with him as he can't bear to watch her die. Alma admits that she doesn't really want to go as she would rather be near her friends and her doctor. They hug each other and say goodbye. Maxine tells Evelyn that she doesn't like her as she thinks she's a gold-digger.

Maxine tells Ashley that they have to buy a car as she is sick of travelling in his meat van, especially when she sits on a pork pie on the front seat. Toyah phones her college and arranges to take a year out as she doesn't feel ready to take her exams. Janice blames Phil Simmonds and the rape for setting Toyah back. Audrey takes Alma for her first lot of radiotherapy. Alma feels sick afterwards. Duggie hires Shelley Unwin, a barmaid he knows from the rugby club as a temporary replacement for Toyah. Peter fancies her. Curly and Emily start canvassing but it proves much harder work than expected. Toyah starts her job back at Roy's Rolls. Curly books the Rovers for a send-off party for Alma on Friday. He doesn't know that she's ill and won't be moving to Much Wenlock.

Alma tells Audrey that she's not having any more radiotherapy. Audrey tries to talk her round but Alma is adamant. Audrey tells her that she will support her whatever. Jason is enjoying working in the hardware shop. He does some overtime for free. Emily devises some excellent leaflets for Curly's campaign. They decide to call it the "Clean up Weatherfield" campaign, as Curly used to be a binman. Shelley manages to rub both Edna and Betty up the wrong way. Toyah goes for a drink with Charlie and she invites Sam as well. Sam is pleased as he thought Toyah didn't want to have anything to do with him. Audrey goes to see Matt about Alma.

Maxine hates Eve. She thinks that she's only after Fred for his money. Maria moves into No.9. Jack and Vera are bewildered by it as they didn't invite her but are too polite to say anything. Jason repaints the sign at the hardware shop. He paints over Danny's name. Sally is upset when she sees it. Jason comforts her and hugs her. Kirk sees them. Shelley gets Geena to do all the work while she chats to customers. Geena is fuming. Alma goes to the Rovers for a drink to find that there is a surprise party for her. She announces to everyone that she isn't moving in with Frank any more but doesn't tell them that she's ill. Curly offers David and Simon Green £10 each to deliver some campaign leaflets. Audrey leaves the Rovers early as she finds it too upsetting.

Curly is interviewed by Mick Crompton, a Gazette journalist about his election policies. Vik takes Bobbi to La Capricosa, a very upmarket restaurant. Karen is jealous as Steve doesn't treat her like that. Bobbi tells her it's because she's too easy. Gail panics when Audrey goes to see Matt in the medical centre and he picks up a leaflet on dealing with cancer. Gail is convinced that Audrey has cancer. Gail goes to see Alma thinking that Alma will know if Audrey is ill. Gail is shocked when Alma tells her that it is she who has cancer and not Audrey. Jason tells Sally that he saw Danny at the football yesterday and that he's moving away to Nottingham. Sally is disappointed. Ashley brings home the new car. Maxine is furious and tells him to take it back as it's a two-seater sports car and no use for when they have children.

Kevin fixes Molly's car. Molly says she will drop a cheque in later. Maxine makes Ashley return the sports car and get a space cruiser instead. Geena takes a call from Dev's mother, Urmila Alahan, and is concerned when she finds that Dev's mum doesn't even know who she is. She wonders how important she is to Dev. Curly finds the election leaflets that he paid David and Simon Green to deliver dumped in the street and littering the pavement.

Molly is still avoiding paying Kevin for the work on the car. Maxine and Ashley decide to go for fertility tests. Shelley tells Duggie about Peter stealing the whisky. Duggie decides to catch him out. Geena tells Dev she would like to meet his mother. Dev says he feels that she is backing him into a corner. Geena is upset and storms out. Vik takes Bobbi out for another slap-up meal but he has to borrow the money from Dev. Afterwards Bobbi still refuses to sleep with him so Vik sleeps in the car. There's a very good article about Curly in the Gazette much to Audrey's chagrin. Shelley decides to try and organise a drag night in the Rovers.

Duggie fires Peter for stealing whisky and watering it down. Karen tells Vik about Bobbi's book "Venus Mantrap" and that's why Bobbi has been playing hard to get. Vik is furious that she's been playing games with him. Jack thinks that the house is too small and that Tyrone and Maria should move out but Vera disagrees. Ashley takes Maxine for her first driving lesson. Vik finishes with Bobbi. Bobbi pleads with him to have her back saying that she agrees the book is stupid and they end up in bed. Geena asks Dev how serious he is about her. Dev is non-committal. Geena says that the relationship isn't going anywhere and she wants commitment but he's not prepared to give it so she finishes with him. Ashley says that he is not going to the clinic to provide a sperm sample.

Vik and Bobbi are getting on really well having now slept together. Ashley is still refusing to provide a sperm sample until Matt has a chat with him and tells him that he's being stupid. Ashley tells Maxine he will go ahead with it. Curly and Emily are preparing for a public election debate which will take place in the evening. Alma says she will be there too to support Audrey. Geena is feeling very down about Dev. He tries to talk to her but she cuts him dead. Shelley manages to persuade Les to put his name down for the drag night as it's in aid of charity: the Women's Centre which Toyah is attending after her ordeal. Janice bets Karen £10 she can't get Steve to take her to dinner that night. Peter tells Ken he's thinking of leaving Weatherfield. Ken is worried. When Karen successfully wins her bet with Janice they decide to double or quits if Karen can persuade Steve to take her on holiday.

Karen tells Janice and Bobbi they owe her £20 as Steve has agreed to go on holiday. Janice and Bobbi decide to up the stakes again and offer her a day's wages from each of them if she can get Steve to marry her and make the holiday her honeymoon. Geena goes to collect her things from Dev's flat. He tries to talk to her but she won't listen. Karen tells Steve about the marriage bet. He agrees to go along with it and split the money 50/50. Frank tells Curly about Alma's cancer and gives him a letter to deliver to her. Curly drops the letter round and talks to Alma and Audrey. Audrey explains that Alma is the reason why she's given up her election campaign. She says she will back Curly instead. Ashley fails to produce a sperm sample at the hospital as he's too nervous.

Audrey finds out that it is too late to pull out of the election. She decides to back Curly's campaign to try and ensure that she doesn't win herself. Desmond Worthing, the other candidate is furious. She hands out Curly's leaflets telling everyone to vote for him. Steve turns up in the Rovers, goes down on one knee and proposes to Karen in front of the Underworld girls. Gail and Martin are worried about David. They decide that Martin will take David away for the half-term holiday. Ashley produces a sperm sample at home and he and Maxine rush it to the hospital. Karen and the girls decide to double or quits - two days' pay, if she can get Steve to actually marry her within a week. The election takes place and Curly wins. The returning officer reads out "Watts, Norman Arthur, Independent - 1,915". Karen tells Steve about the new bet. Steve agrees that they will get married.

Everyone's preparing for the Rovers Drag Night. Dev and Geena decide to try to sort things out, but to no avail. Curly is coming to terms with the fact that he is now a councillor, while Janice and Bobbi can't believe that Karen is marrying for a bet.

Curly decides that as his new role as councillor he should invite people to a "mini-surgery" where people can tell him what they expect and want from him. Karen demands money from Steve for a wedding dress. Sunita realises that Dev is missing Geena and is obviously irritable without her and tells him to sort it out. Kirk teases Jason that there is something going on with him and Sally. Sunita tells Geena that Dev is miserable; Geena decides to go see him. She finds Dev making a date with another girl and storms off. The "mini-surgery" is full of pensioners and Emma is distracted so takes a walk. Dev and Sunita argue as Dev got the wrong idea about Sunita's comment. Everyone is at the Rovers for the stag and hen nights.

Both Steve and Karen think the other one will not turn up to the register office, both though secretly want the other to turn up. Curly doesn't realise there is something wrong with Emma as he is too busy. Kirk, Todd and Candice tease Jason about Sally, Jason gets embarrassed and Candice is upset. Linda tells Steve that Karen will be upset if he doesn't turn up to the wedding. Matt tells Ashley the test results have arrived. The Underworld girls think they've won the bet when no one turns up but Steve appears. He then thinks that it was all a joke to make him look stupid but Karen then turns up. They decide to get married. Vera senses that Emma is unwell and tells Curly to look after her. Emma brushes off his concern saying that there is nothing wrong with her. Ashley tells Maxine that the test results are in and she rushes off to make an appointment.

Steve tells Karen he will sort something out about them living together. Maxine books another appointment with Matt but Ashley is worried he is abnormal. Curly gets a picture of Alice from France and tells Emma that he wished he could have known her as a baby. Kirk tells Jason to make a move on Sally. Matt tells Maxine and Ashley that she could get pregnant anyway but a worst-case scenario would be Ashley having an operation. Ken tells Peter to think about becoming a teacher but Peter doesn't seem impressed. Ashley tells Maxine that he doesn't want a baby enough to have an operation. Curly tells Matt he's made a start on the smear test campaign. Karen tells Eileen that she and Steve will be moving into No.11 so she will have to move out.

Curly and Emma go to see Matt who confirms she is pregnant; Emma wants to keep it quiet and Curly reluctantly agrees. Karen persuades Steve to take her on a honeymoon to Florida. Ashley is certain that Maxine will leave him if they can't have children. Jason keeps trying to tell Sally how he feels. Sally tells him that she likes him but he reads it wrong and tries to kiss her. She rejects him and laughs which upsets him. Jason quits his job. Peter and Charlie talk about teaching but Ken gets the wrong idea and thinks Peter is interested. Ken is disappointed when Peter says he wants to be a bookmaker. Curly tells everyone in the Rovers that Emma is pregnant, this upsets Maxine who rushes out. Bobbi agrees to let Vik stay at her flat while Geena is away.

Jason is broke and tells Eileen that it was Sally that tried it on with him. Molly still hasn't paid Kevin for the repairs to her car and Maxine is getting annoyed because Audrey has not been in the salon for weeks. It is Bethany's birthday and the Platts are having a party for her. Sarah gets a cheque from Neil Fearns's family. Audrey is concerned about the pain Alma is in. Eileen goes to confront Sally. Sally explains exactly what happened. Eileen is embarrassed but Sally tells her that Jason can have his job back.

Kevin is obviously devastated on the anniversary of Alison and Jake's deaths. Jason hasn't been home for two days. Eileen is worried and Todd blames Dennis. Todd tells Kirk he thinks it's all their fault that Jason lost his job and left home. Jason is staying with Kirk and wants Todd to pick up some clothes. Kevin is still after the money from Molly. After finding out he's got bills to pay at the garage, he decides to pay a visit to Molly at her flat. Maxine tells Emma she's upset about not having a baby. It makes Emma realise how lucky and happy she is. Eileen turns up at the cafe with all of Jason's clothes. She tries to talk to Jason but he won't listen. Sally talks to Kevin and he tells her how unhappy he is.

Ken is suspicious there is something wrong with Alma. He asks Audrey who dismisses him. Kevin wakes up at Molly's flat - he obviously stopped her from killing herself.

Peter promises to look into it. Roy and Hayley are very worried about Wayne and wish he could live with them. Anthony is fed up with working with Norris and tells him that unless he changes his attitude he will have to find a temporary replacement until Rita is back. Linda pulls off a major deal with Harvey Reuben and they flirt with each other. Mike decides that he's going to go and see Alma in the Lake District. She is staying at the Armathwaite Hall Hotel, which holds fond memories. Linda is furious and threatens to divorce him if he goes. Mike refuses to be blackmailed and leaves for the Lakes. Gail notices that Kevin and Molly seem to be getting close and tells Sally.

Mike arrives at the Armathwaite Hall Hotel and finds Alma. At first she isn't pleased to see him. Soon it becomes apparent to Mike just how ill she is and he phones Linda and tells her he won't be home that night as promised because Alma is very ill and needs him. Linda is furious and behind Mike's back invites Harvey Reuben round to the flat and seduces him. Alma starts to thaw towards Mike and is glad that he's there. Mike tells her that they should never have split up and she agrees. He tells Alma that he's not going back to Linda and that they are going to spend what little time Alma has left together.

As Mike still isn't home, Linda decides to close the factory for a couple of days and gives all the staff two days' paid leave to get back at him. Alma and Mike have a really nice time together. Alma makes Mike promise that he won't end his marriage with Linda; he agrees. Mike phones Audrey and tells her that he will look after Alma. Audrey decides that she will go to London with Gail, Sarah and Bethany as she needs a break. Two social workers, Gillian Davies and Graham Larkin, pay Roy and Hayley a visit. They have interviewed Alex Swinton, Sheila Hayes and Wayne and all three are denying that there has been any physical abuse. The social workers infer that Roy and Hayley have made it all up just to try and get Wayne for themselves. Roy and Hayley are cross and upset. Mike phones Linda and tells her that he will be coming home tomorrow. Linda has Harvey Reuben round for the night again. Linda tells Harvey that both she and the factory will soon be on the market.

Audrey, Gail, Sarah and Bethany set off for London. Duggie receives his application form for Pub Landlord of the Year. Molly and Kevin are getting on well having been to the cinema the night before. Karen lets slip to Janice that Mike has been away with Alma and that Linda is furious. Mike and Alma arrive back from the Lake District. He drops Alma off at Audrey's house and goes to the factory to find it shut. He goes to the flat and catches Linda with Harvey coming out of the bathroom. Mike and Linda have a blazing row. Linda says she's divorcing him. Mike tells her that Alma is worth a hundred of her. Roy and Hayley pay a visit to Sheila Hayes to try and persuade her to tell the truth about Wayne and the abuse he suffers at the hands of Alex Swinton.

Rita arrives back from her break to find Norris and Anthony getting on like old friends. Betty tells Hayley that Alma has cancer. Linda calls round to Audrey's house to see if Mike is there. Alma lets her in and they exchange some harsh words. Alma tells Linda how stupid she is for cheating on Mike a second time. During the row Alma collapses and Linda calls an ambulance. Mike, Ken and Curly go to the hospital. Alma's kidneys have failed and she is dying. She tells Mike that she wants to die at home. Mike tells the doctor that he's taking her home. Roy and Hayley lure Alex Swinton round to the cafe flat by promising him some money. They get him to confess that he hits Wayne and try to record the conversation but Alex spots the tape recorder and smashes it. Alex then shocks them both by telling them that they can buy Wayne for £10,000.

Alma is back home in bed. Mike and Molly are nursing her round the clock. Linda calls in at Audrey's and pleads with Mike to let her help as he looks so tired. Mike tells her he doesn't want her there but she ignores him. Ken calls to see Alma and both he and Mike hold Alma's hands while she drifts in and out of consciousness. Alex Swinton calls on Roy and Hayley to see if they've made a decision about Wayne. He lowers his price to £5,000. Roy tells him that they accept the offer. Alma is asking for Audrey but Audrey isn't back from London yet. Audrey arrives back to be told that Alma hasn't got long to live and to see her as soon as possible. Audrey arrives in Alma's bedroom and talks to Alma but as she does Matt takes Alma's pulse and tells the company around the bed that she has died.

Alma's friends are grieving over her death. Audrey seems to be taking the loss particularly badly. She feels guilty for not being there for Alma at the end. Mike is also mourning his ex-wife. He has resorted to sleeping in the spare room, due to Linda's infidelity. She tries in vain to console him. Maxine continues to pester Ashley about a holiday abroad. She suggests Ireland, as they can take a ferry and avoid his fear of flying. Curly confronts Emma about a story in the papers concerning an incident with the armed police. Emma denies being involved. She has put off telling her colleagues about her pregnancy, as she doesn't want to be stuck behind a desk. She now agrees to tell them. Roy is still worried about Wayne, and Hayley is shocked when he suggests they give in to Alex Swinton's demands and pay him the money.

It is the day of Alma's funeral. Roy is battling with his own conscience over Wayne, but withdraws the money from his account and meets Alex during Alma's funeral. Mike is none too happy that Linda is accompanying him to the funeral. He cannot bear to be in the same room as her. At the crematorium, Alma's friends pay their last respects and Audrey reads a poem:

Todd gives Jason a letter, inviting him to train in Budapest with UK Athletics, but the offer has expired. Todd tries to persuade his brother to come home, but Jason blames Eileen for blowing his chance to train abroad. Roy catches Hayley in the process of phoning Peter Hartnell about Wayne. He confesses to paying Alex Swinton £5,000. Hayley accuses him of ruining their chances of fostering. Mike and Audrey visit the Lake District to scatter Alma's ashes and say their final goodbyes.

Hayley is still annoyed with Roy. She knows what it is like to live a lie and is not prepared to go through all that again. Mike and Linda have called everyone into the factory over the weekend to finish a very urgent order for Harvey Reuben. Despite being at loggerheads they work together. Jason returns home. Despite an argument with Dennis, he decides to stay for good. Eileen allows him to have a party for his eighteenth birthday. Curly tells Emma he is willing to give up work to look after their baby, if she wants to return to work. It will give him more time to concentrate on council work. Sheila Hayes visits Roy and Hayley to return their money and take back Wayne. She is angry and upset. Hayley suggests she take both her son and the money, so that they can make a fresh start away from Alex Swinton,

Anthony feels guilty he was not with Isabel when she died. Rita consoles him. Wayne is still upset that his mother left him. Roy and Hayley are concerned he might regret coming to live with them. They discover he has wet the bed and has been afraid to tell them, in case they were angry. Todd invites Candice and Sarah to Jason's eighteenth birthday party. Mike celebrates finishing the Reubens order, but is angry when Harvey Reuben cancels their contract. He blames Linda, explaining that without the contract the business is ruined. He tells the women there will be some redundancies. Duggie agrees to let Les be the compere on the Rovers' bingo night. Anthony returns from Amanda's. He tells Rita that she virtually accused him of Isabel's death and didn't want him to be involved in the funeral arrangements.

Jason is upset as his dad has forgotten his eighteenth birthday. Anthony attends Isabel's funeral. He feels terrible, only his sister Joan speaks to him. Jason is ecstatic when he gets a call from the UK Athletics Federation saying they still want him to go to Budapest and that it's all paid for. Mike makes three redundancies; Jean, Bobbi and Karen as they were the last to join. Karen is furious that Linda didn't make sure her job was safe. She threatens to tell everyone what Linda has been up to if she doesn't get her job back. Dennis gives Jason a motorbike for his birthday. Jason is delighted but Eileen isn't. Karen tells Bobbi about Linda's sleeping with Harvey Reuben. Jason has a birthday party at No.11. He rides his new motorbike in the house and Sarah is sick on the carpet because she's drunk.

Les apologises to Mike and Linda, in an attempt to get Janice her job back, but Mike is not interested. Sarah and Todd are recovering after the party the night before. Anthony is getting ready for his trip to New Zealand. Peter Hartnell unexpectedly visits the cafe and is ushered upstairs by Roy to avoid him seeing Wayne. He tells Peter that he and Hayley have decided not to participate further in the fostering programme. Peter is puzzled and disappointed, and narrowly misses seeing Wayne a second time when leaving the cafe. Anthony tries to convince Rita to come to New Zealand with him. He suggests she follow him out after she has put her affairs in order. Les hosts the bingo "Bonanza" at the Rovers.

Sarah emails TJ asking if they could meet up. She is frustrated when he doesn't reply. Alma's cousin Richard calls round to see Audrey. Rita tells Anthony that she won't be coming to New Zealand with him as she thinks it's too soon after Isabel's death and he needs time on his own.

Sarah arranges to meet up with her internet boyfriend TJ. He tells her that he can't supply her with a photo as he's camera-shy. Candice is sceptical. Adam arrives back from Glasgow. He doesn't seem very happy to be back as he wanted to spend some more time at his friend Duncan's house. Mike and Linda are still at loggerheads but putting on an act in front of Adam. Karen is panicking because her passport hasn't turned up. Toyah invites Sam round for supper. Les warns Sam to treat her properly. Vera thinks that Jack is ignoring her but Maria suggests that he might be deaf. Kevin and Martin decide to take all their kids on a camping trip. Rita is upset now that Anthony has gone to New Zealand and she is wondering whether she should have accepted his proposal.

Sarah says she doesn't want to go camping as she has too much course work to do. She has arranged to meet TJ at 4.00pm in the precinct. David invites Wayne on the camping trip. Roy and Hayley decide to let him go even though they are worried in case social services want to see him while he's away. Wayne says he doesn't want to go because he's worried about his bed-wetting. Jack is nearly knocked down on the zebra crossing as he didn't hear the car coming. Janice gets a job at the cafe. Sarah and Candice go to meet TJ and Candice is furious when it turns out to be Todd James Grimshaw, Candice's boyfriend. Rita is considering going to New Zealand to find Anthony. Mike keeps blanking Linda. He won't speak to her or even be alone with her.

Audrey goes to a public meeting at the hospital about the smear fiasco with Alma's cousin Richard. Afterwards they go to Le Cassoulet for a meal.

Sam tries to kiss her but Toyah doesn't feel ready. Sarah meets another boy on the internet, this time called Gary. Geena suggests to Dev that she moves in with him. He avoids the question.

Sarah and Candice make friends again. Sam tells Dennis he's worried that he came on too strong with Toyah. Dennis tells him to send her flowers. Steve intercepts Karen's passport in the post and tells her it hasn't arrived. Geena drops hints to Dev about moving into his flat, but Dev isn't keen. Roy and Hayley take Wayne back home for the meeting with social services. Roy and Hayley are nervous but Wayne reassures them that he wants to do it so they can be a family. Matt reassures Emma that all is well with her pregnancy. Gail tells Matt that people have been suspended over the smear test scandal.

Unbeknown to Karen, her passport has turned up and Steve is hiding it as a joke. Steve lets Eileen in on the joke who in turn tells Karen the truth. Karen calls Steve's bluff and pretends to cancel the holiday. Eventually they both come clean and leave for America. Kevin lands a big job at the garage through a recommendation of Molly's. However if he takes the job on he will have to move the holiday and disappoint the girls. Toyah is still keeping Sam at arm's length. Charlie tells her that Sam won't wait forever and that she needs to start leading a normal life again. Audrey thinks Richard has a crush on her and is hurt and embarrassed when she finds out he hasn't.

Vera overhears Jack telling David and Wayne that there's nothing wrong with his hearing. She realises that he's been lying to her. Kevin tells the girls that he won't be able to take them camping - they are very disappointed. Sally is furious. Gail finds out that Sarah is getting behind with her school work. Gail tells Sarah that she is spending too much time in chat rooms on the computer. It becomes apparent that Richard fancies Gail; she welcomes the attention. Roy and Hayley decide to ignore Alex Swinton's demands for more money. Matt suggests to Charlie it would be nice to start a family. Charlie doesn't want to. Sunita tells Geena that Dev has bought her a ring and is obviously going to propose to her.

Candice continues to tease Sarah about her 'internet boyfriend', Gary. Sarah thinks she is just jealous. Adam confides in Peter that he is sick of Mike and Linda always arguing - he is upset because he likes Linda. Gail tells Sally that she should go on the camping trip seeing as Kevin can't make it. She agrees. There is tension between Matt and Charlie; they aren't speaking due to the conversation they had the night before about children. Toyah asks Sam if he wants to get a video with her that evening - he says yes. Geena makes up with Dev and accepts the key to his flat so she can come and go as she pleases. Richard asks Gail out for a drink which she accepts. At the open evening Roy is impressed with Wayne's work but uncomfortable that Gail, Martin and Charlie are talking about them. Gail receives news that Sarah never does her homework.

There is still tension between Charlie and Matt and he slept on the sofa during the night. Toyah worries she has upset Sam. Sally puts Janice in charge of the shop while she's away, Jason is fed up. Roy and Hayley are concerned that Wayne wants to go on the camping trip. Sarah goes to Gary's house. A man in his early thirties opens the door and says that he is Gary's dad. He invites Sarah in and tells her she can wait for Gary. Toyah tells Sam that she does fancy him but he's not sure if he can handle her emotional problems. Matt and Charlie talk - she still blames him for an affair he had with her best mate years ago.

Sarah starts to feel worried, realising that Gary is rather creepy. She rings Candice to come and get her. Meanwhile Gary carries her upstairs and locks her in his bedroom. Sarah is really frightened. Candice and Todd go round to Gary's house. Candice spots Sarah in an upstairs window but Gary tells her that Sarah has gone home. Candice is worried and phones Gail. Dennis gives Gail a lift to the house. Todd breaks into the house but trips and hits his head on the coffee table. There is a scuffle. Gail and Dennis arrive at Gary's house. Dennis beats Gary senseless and the police arrive.

Sarah is interviewed at the police station. Dennis and Eileen tell everyone in the Rovers what's happened. The customers hail Dennis as a hero for thumping Gary Adams. Candice tells Todd that she's really proud of him and apologises for messing him about. Everyone is shocked when Dennis is arrested and taken to the police station as Gary is pressing charges against him for assault. Martin drives back from the camping trip to see Sarah and check she's alright.

Martin suggests that Sarah should come camping with him and David. Sarah agrees and she invites Candice and Todd. Charlie tells Matt that she loves him but doesn't want children. Ken's article about teenagers, their computers and the dangers they face is printed in the Gazette. Audrey reads it and is furious thinking that Ken is getting at Gail. Martin and Sarah go to fetch a takeaway. Gail stops at home to boil some rice to go with it. When Martin and Sarah get back they can smell burning rice. They can't find Gail. They go upstairs to find Gail sitting in front of Sarah's computer in floods of tears. She's been reading Sarah's emails and realises that her daughter is a complete stranger to her. Sarah emails people all over the world but can't talk to her own mother. Gail breaks down.

Toyah goes for her HIV test. To her relief she is given the all-clear. Sarah, Todd and Candice are all ready to join the others on their camping trip. They are busy putting their stuff in Martin's car when Mrs Stowe arrives and forbids Candice from going. She says she doesn't want her daughter turning out like Sarah. Candice is dragged off in tears and Todd decides that he may as well still go. Jack receives a solicitor's letter telling him that his old pigeon racing mate Jimmy Kelly has left him something in his will. Jack thinks it should be quite a bit of money. Charlie admits to Matt that she doesn't want a family. Matt is devastated. He packs his things and leaves saying he will call her tomorrow. Charlie breaks down. Gail and Sarah patch things up. Gail apologises for going through her personal things. Toyah hears that they have now set a date for the trial of Phil Simmonds. Gail agrees to see Richard Hillman again.

It's Audrey's birthday but it seems everyone has forgotten. Jack goes to the solicitors to find out exactly what he's inherited from Jimmy Kelly and is given a key. He and Vera are excited thinking it might be a house. Toyah has Sam round for a meal. She tries to kiss him but finds she can't; she's too scared. Sam tells her that he will wait for her and she mustn't rush things. Richard Hillman takes Gail out for lunch. She has a lovely time, but it isn't until the evening she remembers Audrey's birthday. Kevin offers to help Molly with her gas bill but she refuses. Charlie and Matt continue to row. Matt says he's moving into a hotel. Charlie tells him if he does that then to never bother coming back. Nonplussed, Matt leaves anyway.

Martin, Sally, Roy and Hayley are at the campsite for a short holiday with Sarah, Todd, David, Sophie, Rosie and Wayne. David is growing bored and scares Sarah when they go for a walk, saying that he has seen a man lurking in the woods. Martin and Sarah are both concerned it is Gary Adams. Wayne, David and Rosie go for a walk and break into an old hut. David larks around and locks Wayne in. They see a man and run off leaving Wayne. When they go back, Wayne is gone so they alert the adults. They are about to go and look for him when he is returned by the man. He is only the campsite warden and everybody is relieved but the children get told off. Hayley is very nervous about the situation with Wayne and all the lying but Roy reassures her, even though he is worried too. Todd and Sarah are getting closer and he invites her to a disco but she says no. There is some subtle chemistry between Martin and Sally.

Jack and Vera are excited about going to see the house that Jack inherited from Jimmy Kelly.

Hayley wants to ring Wayne's mum. Roy doesn't think they should.

Toyah has received a letter from Phil Simmonds asking her to go and visit him in prison, as he wants to apologise to her. Les and Janice are appalled by the idea and they desperately try to get Toyah to see sense. Toyah wants some unbiased advice and goes round to see Charlie. Charlie has got problems of her own because Matt has moved out. She breaks down in front of Toyah and she doesn't know where he is staying. Maxine accidentally spills the beans that he is staying with them. The girls have a row. Maxine offers to babysit Bethany as Gail has invited Richard for dinner at No.8. After dinner they kiss and she leads him upstairs. Kevin explains the situation with Alan Rush to Molly but he still agrees to do business with him. Vera doesn't want Jack to keep the allotment he inherited from Jimmy Kelly, but he is adamant. He explains to Tyrone why every man needs an allotment; to get peace from their wives!

Hayley tells Wayne that she is a transsexual and he takes it well. Alex Swinton shows up at the campsite and corners Wayne. Wayne screams for help and Roy and Hayley come to the rescue. Roy won't let Alex take Wayne so he threatens to ring the police and social services. Roy decides they should run away and Hayley reluctantly agrees. They steal Martin's car.

The Croppers are still on the run and they find a hotel to stop in overnight. Roy begins to panic and he rings Vera who tells him that the police are there. They realise the seriousness of what they have done. The police come and Vera has to give them the keys to the cafe flat. The residents are all in shock about Roy and Hayley, especially when they find out that Wayne is not their foster child. Matt's still having problems with Charlie and he asks Ashley for advice. Todd and Sarah decide to say no more about what happened on holiday. Gail tells Sally about her relationship with Richard Hillman.

The residents are all talking about Roy and Hayley and the police are still sniffing round. Roy buys a paper and he and Hayley are in it saying they have kidnapped a boy. The situation is getting worse so they go and stay with Hayley's friend Ruth Audsley at her farm cottage in Warwickshire. Janice has been invited on holiday to Tenerife by her sister and wants Toyah to go but she says she can't leave Vera in the lurch at the cafe.

David is upset now he realises Gail has a boyfriend. Sarah manages to calm him down much to Gail and Martin's relief. David asks if he can spend the rest of the holidays at Martin's flat and they agree to let him. Matt and Charlie are reconciled. Matt decides that he doesn't want to lose Charlie. Ruth Audsley asks Hayley if she can talk to her alone. Ruth was a friend of Hayley's before her operation when she was Harold. Ruth tells Hayley that she is very uncomfortable with the situation as she cannot possibly condone the abduction of a child and also she admits that she used to have very strong feelings for Hayley when she was a man. Ruth had always hoped they would become boyfriend and girlfriend. Hayley is upset as she never realised.

The Gazette prints a damaging article about Roy and Hayley completely twisting what Emily said to the reporter who interviewed her. Emily is mortified. Vera is startled to find Roy sneaking round the cafe. He explains that he's come to collect a few belongings and makes her promise to keep quiet that she's seen him.

Ruth tells him that he's mad to try and leave the country as they will almost certainly be caught. Roy says that their only option is to catch a ferry to Ireland.

Hayley initially says that she won't go to Ireland with Roy and Wayne, but after some persuasion she agrees that they must remain a family and stick together. Dennis asks Kevin if they've achieved their monthly target of £1500 and therefore can they have their bonuses. Kevin says they fell short. Dennis is disbelieving especially when he hears that Kevin has booked a holiday in Florida. Betty receives a Lifetime Achievement Award from Newton & Ridley whereas Duggie isn't even shortlisted for the Pub Landlord of the Year. Fiz spots Tyrone working at the garage and takes an instant shine to him. Martin takes David and the girls swimming.

Hayley refuses to go to Ireland so she and Roy come to a decision to hand themselves in to the police. Before they can hand themselves in however, Ruth Audsley shops them and turns up at the cottage with a couple of policemen and a social worker. Hayley is appalled with Ruth. Roy and Hayley are arrested and as the police cars drive away, Roy can see Alex Swinton standing with his arm around Wayne. Roy is incensed. Dennis, Sam and Tyrone decide to confront Kevin about the money as they are sure they deserve a bonus. Kevin explains to them that he has had to give Weatherfield Windows a discounted rate in return for all the work

Wayne tells his mum and Alex that he's going to tell the police everything; that Roy and Hayley didn't kidnap him as he was living with them with his parents' permission. Alex says that if he does that he will make his mum look like a liar and then she will be locked up instead. Wayne feels his plan has been foiled. Roy is interviewed by the police.

Sally calls at No.8 with the intention of telling Gail about her and Martin. To Sally's surprise, before she can say anything, Gail tells Sally that she thinks Martin fancies her.

Audrey arrives at the hotel with the intention of trying to stop the wedding but then regrets that she ever came and tries to slope off without being seen but Fred spots her.

Gail and Sarah are furious with Martin over his relationship with Sally. Gail feels very let down by her best friend. Emily has a word with Geena about the bags of clothes belonging to Linda. Geena says she'll look after them until Linda returns. Sarah tells Martin exactly what she thinks of him, she feels very protective towards Gail. Maria warns Fiz to stay away from Tyrone but Fiz ignores her. Fiz corners Tyrone in the garage and snogs him. Ashley suggests to Maxine that she gets a sperm donor rather than going through all the IVF treatment but Maxine won't hear of it. Peter mentions to Ken that he's hoping to be made manager of the bookies. Sarah tells Sally what she thinks of her and Rita has to calm her down. Geena tells Dev that she's really worried about Linda as she is convinced something has happened to her; she has no money and no clothes with her.

Fiz, still making a play for Tyrone, goes to the medical centre and gets herself put on the Pill. Maria decides she's going to try and fix Fiz up with someone to get her away from Tyrone. Emma redecorates the bedroom with the help of Kirk and Jason. Edna reckons she can sense death and as all the four landlords she's worked for have died she wonders whether it's now Duggie's turn. Martin and Sally tell Kevin about their relationship. Kevin is very upset and angry, particularly as he was about to suggest that he and Sally give it another go. Kevin goes round to Martin's flat, hammers on the door with a spanner and smashes Martin's car window in a fit of jealousy. Karen wants she and Steve to get their own place to live. Steve keeps ignoring her so in the end she walks out.

Martin discovers his smashed car windscreen and realises that it must be Kevin. Kevin admits it and although he's still angry with Martin he agrees to fix it. Rosie tells David that Martin and Sally are now going out with each other. David pretends that he already knew. Steve and Karen start renting the flat above The Kabin now that Anthony has moved out. Sean Skinner is selling the bookies and Shelley tells Peter that he should buy the business. Karen gets some money off Steve on the pretext of it being the deposit for the flat but then blows it on clothes.

Tyrone admits to Jack that he's confused about Fiz's feelings towards him. Jack tells him to go for it. Peter asks Shelley out on a date and she accepts. Later Duggie asks her out the same evening and she has to turn him down.

Shelley had a lovely time with Peter and they are now an item. Peter asks Ken if he will lend him the £43,000 needed to buy the bookies. Ken says he'll think about it. Edna says she can sense death and thinks it will be Duggie who dies. Steve and Karen move into No.12. Karen is still not satisfied as she wants a swanky flat in town. Karen invites Norris and Rita for drinks and tells Steve that she's going to keep inviting them until he buys her the flat she wants. Duggie tries to warn Shelley off Peter but she tells him that he's just jealous. Mike speaks to his solicitor who tells him he could be divorced in six months if they can prove that they have tried hard to find Linda but failed. Kevin apologises to Molly for his behaviour the previous night. Kevin then apologises to Sally but ends up having a fight with Martin.

Ashley goes into hospital for a scan and discovers that he's got a varicocele and is booked in for an operation the following day. Edna phones in sick but Duggie sees her up and about later in the day. Peter is angry with Ken and Deirdre when they tell him that they can't lend him the money to buy the bookies as they would have to remortgage the house and they don't want to take the risk. Karen and Steve have a flat-warming party. Fiz turns up at the party with Kirk which makes Tyrone jealous. Rita asks them to turn the music down and Karen is rude to her. Emma asks Charlie about her parents. Charlie tells Emma that she's adopted and never knew them. Emma realises that she's hit a raw nerve. Candice tells Sarah that she's got a job in a factory working evenings and weekends. Sally tells Kevin to keep away from Martin or she will have his access rights to the kids terminated on the grounds of his violence.

Ashley's operation is successful. Sally calls in to see Martin at the hospital, and they share a passionate kiss while he's on duty. Peter tries to find a way to raise the money to buy the betting shop, and Karen has a slanging match with Rita.

Matt and Maxine are consumed with guilt after their night together. Ashley arrives back from hospital and Charlie arrives back from her adoptive mother's house. Both are unaware of what has gone on. Charlie has decided to search for her real mother. Rita gets her own back on Karen by playing the radio very loudly at 5.00am when she gets up to do the papers. After another slanging match they decide to call a truce. All the girls are feeling hung-over and Edna is nowhere to be seen. Peter only has twenty-four hours to raise the money to buy the bookies but he has an idea. Sally is worried that people think she has one man after another after a confrontation with Blanche in the Rovers and tells Martin she would like to cool things just for a while.

Everyone is shocked at Edna's death. The bookies has been burgled during the night and the £5,000 deposit that Rob Lucas had left in the safe has gone missing. Peter pretends to look shocked. Martin is upset that Sally wants to cool their relationship. Peter needs an alibi and asks Shelley if she will cover for him. Shelley refuses. Karen offers to cover for him instead. She tells the police that Peter spent the night with her and in return Peter gives her £700. She tells Steve about the deal but he is unhappy.

Tyrone is devastated.

Ashley invites Emma, Curly, Matt and Charlie round for a drink. Maxine and Matt feel very uncomfortable in each other's company. Richard calls to see Gail but she is busy doing family things. Richard feels very left out and says so then leaves. Later he calls round and apologises. Tyrone feels very down and angry towards Fiz who did all the chasing. Rob Lucas tells Vik and Bobbi about Karen sleeping with Peter. Soon everybody knows. Steve tells Vik the truth but asks him to keep it to himself. Vik works out that it must have been Peter who broke into the bookies. The girls start to question Karen about sleeping with Peter but she can't answer them. Rob tells Shelley that Peter has slept with Karen. Shelley is very angry.

Charlie goes to visit her real mother for the first time. Her mother - Pam Hargreaves - doesn't seem at all pleased to see her and says she has her own family now. Karen and Steve make up. Steve comes to an arrangement with Peter - he won't go to the police but instead Peter has to agree to let Steve punch him in the Rovers in front of lots of people. Peter then explains to Shelley that the punch was all for show and that Karen agreed to provide him with an alibi for cash. Shelley then realises that it was Peter who stole the money from the bookies and tells him she doesn't want to go out with a thief. Toyah decides to finish with Sam but Sam persuades her to give him one more week.

Todd thinks that Candice is seeing someone else as she's always too busy to see him. He confronts Candice and she explains that she is working illegally in a factory. Tyrone calls to see Maria to try and patch things up to find that she's gone on holiday to Spain. Charlie pretends that she's not bothered about her real mother's rejection. She is actually deeply affected and gets very drunk. She is seen falling over in the street by Candice and Todd. Dev breaks Deirdre's specs and she has to wear her old pair from the 1970s.

Sam asks Ken which film he should take Toyah to see and Ken recommends "Being John Malkovich". Dev surprises Geena by moving all her stuff into his flat. Geena is delighted. Duggie cooks Shelley a meal and then tries to kiss her. She is shocked and pushes him away telling him that as far as she is concerned they're just mates.

Rob Lucas tells Peter that he's managed to get the money together again to buy the bookies. Peter is gutted. Steve tells Peter that he and Karen will help him place the money he nicked backing horses in order to win enough to buy the bookies himself instead of Rob. Duggie asks Sunita out and tells her that he's dumped Shelley. Sunita tells him where to go as she already knows that it was Shelley who dumped him, not the other way around. A lad in Todd's class daubs "Ramsden's a wino" on the wall at school. Charlie blames Todd again and he has to go and see the headmistress. Matt has a go at Todd in the street. Ashley confides in Audrey that Maxine has been a bit distant recently and he's worried. Audrey manages to cover up for Maxine and says she's fine.

Eileen, Todd and Charlie have a meeting with the headmistress, Miss Johnson, about the graffiti. Todd is still being blamed and both he and Eileen lose their tempers and both end up being excluded from the school, in Todd's case for five days. Miss Johnson then tells Charlie off and suggests she might have a drink problem. Duggie sends Sunita a big bunch of flowers and they make up. After a very tense day of betting, Peter manages to turn his £5,000 into £50,000 - enough to buy the bookies.

Maxine feels so guilty about Matt that she's tempted to tell Ashley, but Audrey stops her. Maxine and Ashley go to bed and Maxine feels a whole lot better. Charlie discovers there's graffiti across her front door: "Rammy's a Drunk". She immediately blames Todd again who denies it.

Dennis wants to organise something for Eileen's fortieth birthday but Eileen just wants to forget about it. Rob Lucas hears that someone has put in a higher offer for the bookies. He fires Peter. Peter leaves without a fuss knowing that soon the bookies will be his. Sarah and Candice tell Luke Ashton to own up as it's not fair that Todd is taking the brunt of Luke's actions. Candice skives off school again to go and work in the factory. Peter decides that he's got to pay Rob back the £5,000 so that Shelley will go out with him again. He waits until Rob is working late and then tries to break into his car with the intention of leaving the money on the seat.

Duggie and Sunita arrange to go out on another date. Candice has arranged to go out with the girls from the factory where she works and asks Sarah to cover for her. Shelley says that she will return the £5,000 to Rob Lucas. Peter has to distract him while Shelley pushes the envelope into his jacket pocket. Shelley gets the wrong jacket. She puts the money in Ken's jacket instead. Peter has to explain himself to Ken. He is appalled with Peter and threatens to go to the police unless Peter returns the money immediately.

Dennis is busy planning a birthday surprise for Eileen but she thinks that he's forgotten. Peter takes over the bookies and calls it Barlow's Bookies. He gives Rob Lucas his £5,000 back pretending that it's one-off "signing-on fee". Rob realises that it was Peter who stole the money but can't do anything about it. Fred and Eve return from their honeymoon. Eve finds out from Geena that nobody has heard anything of Linda since the wedding and is very concerned.

Dev disappears off for the day leaving Geena very upset about the issue with her parents. Sunita has dinner with Duggie in the Rovers and kisses him.

Although she loves him she doesn't want to come between him and his family. Dev stops her and produces a ring from his pocket. He asks her to marry him and they get engaged.

Dev and Geena announce their engagement and invite everyone to an engagement party at the weekend. They decide to invite their parents round together on Wednesday to tell them. Dev suggests they marry on Geena's birthday in July. Dennis is worried about how much Paris is going to cost him. Peter confides in Ken that he's worried he might have bitten off more than he can chew with the bookies as he's never run a business before. Richard asks Gail to come away with him but she says she can't leave the children. Dennis reminds Ryan that he still owes him £200 and he wants it by the end of the week. Eve finds out, and she's the last to know, that Mike is divorcing Linda. She demands that Fred tells her the whole story. Fred tells her about Mark, Harvey and finally the row at the wedding.

Eve is cross with Fred as she feels that he's being unsupportive over Linda. Gail and Richard look at holiday brochures and pick somewhere. Toyah tells Janice she's proud of the way that she's stepped in and is running the factory. Geena confides in Toyah that her mother is racist and then wishes she hadn't - she knows that it's only because her mum cares about her. Janice sees Les taking delivery of something and assumes it's an anniversary present for her.

Fred and Eve go to watch the raising of the car from the river. The police say that it looks as though the car was rolled into the river deliberately. They get the car out and find one of Linda's shoes inside. Eve is distraught. Gail and Richard set off on their holiday.

Eve is beside herself with worry about Linda and convinced that Mike is to blame. Mike arrives back with Adam. The police call on him and question him about Linda's disappearance. Mike is adamant that he doesn't know where she is. Geena has no idea that her mum has been trying to warn Dev off and is under the misapprehension that her mum now accepts Dev. Maria arrives back from Spain. She is very down as she is missing Tyrone and her dog Brodie died while she was away. Jason comforts her. Tyrone sees this and gets the wrong end of the stick.

Looking after David, Sarah and Bethany is starting to take its toll on Audrey and she is worn out. Maria starts in the salon. Fiz is one of her first clients and Maria uses freezing water in which to wash her hair. Maxine offers to give Maria a makeover and some of her old clothes. Maria accepts.

Ryan reports Mike to the police for suspected murder, telling them about Linda's affair with Harvey Reuben.

The pressure is getting to Mike as he's convinced that the police think he did it. Dennis has a row with Eileen and threatens to leave but they make up later. Jason asks Maria out on a date.

Matt threatens to tell Charlie about the baby. Maxine is worried sick. It's the evening and Ashley is watching a film. Matt tells Maxine to meet him in the medical centre for five minutes as they need to talk. Matt confesses to Maxine that Charlie doesn't want children and that this will make it even harder for him to live next door to a child that he knows is his own. He tries to persuade Maxine that maybe they should leave Charlie and Ashley and try to bring the child up together. Maxine tells him that she loves Ashley and that she wants to bring the baby up as Ashley's. Eventually Matt has to agree.

Vera goes to see Jo Doyle who says she will take on Terry's case. Vera says that money is not a problem. Mike and Helen walk into the Rovers laughing just as Jimmy and Eve are discussing the fact that Mike was not picked out at the identity parade. Eve shouts at Mike saying he won't get away with it. Helen is not impressed and gets up and leaves. The party is a washout as the fireworks Les bought are damp. Matt and Charlie save the day by offering to share theirs and have a joint party.

It's Jack's sixty-fifth birthday. Everyone is too busy wondering who's got it in for Mike to wonder why Dennis and Janice were in the factory together. Jack goes to work on the crossing and finds Brenda Kelly is already there in uniform. She says she'd heard that he was retiring. Jack goes to see Curly as his local councillor to try and sort it out.

At the party, Stan Wagstaff sees Betty for the first time in ages but she doesn't remember him.

Emily tells Norris and Rita that she's thinking of investing her money in Spider's organic juice bar that he wants to open in London.

Emily signs the papers for the home reversion plan. She gives Spider a cheque for £15,000. Toyah decides that she doesn't want to go to London with Spider; he's upset but they part as friends. Sam is delighted that she's staying with him. Janice decides that she can't go on pretending to Les that everything is okay. She talks to Dennis and they decide that after the holiday they will leave Les and Eileen and go off together. Kevin and Molly are enjoying their new relationship - nobody knows they're an item yet. Norris is suspicious of Richard and the deal that Emily has done on the house. He tells Rita that he's going to do some ferreting about to see if Richard is all that he claims to be. Vera is distraught wondering where Terry is. The police call at No.9 again and search the house. Soon after the police leave, Vera goes out and Terry turns up. Jack threatens to call the police and turn him in.

Terry has got Jack over a barrel. Jack can't call the police because then Vera will find out that he's turned his own son over to the cops and would never forgive him. He strikes a bargain with Terry and tells him that he will sort out somewhere for him to hide for a couple of nights if he leaves before Vera gets home. He puts Terry up in the shed on the allotment. Vera knows nothing about Terry's visit. Emma persuades Charlie to attend an antenatal class with her. Charlie agrees under sufferance so long as Matt doesn't find out. Vera overhears Brenda Kelly, the lollipop lady who's taken over Jack's job singing Jack's praises and Vera tells her to keep her hands off her husband. Dennis and Janice discuss how they are going to break the news to Eileen and Les. Sam is all over Toyah now that she's decided to stay. Toyah is still unsure about Sam.

Jack offers Terry £5,000 to leave but Terry refuses saying that he isn't going to run away because he's innocent. Jack doesn't know what to believe. Norris is really irritating Emily by harping on about the financial deal she has just made. He wants to know if she read all the small print, etc. Molly lets slip in the Rovers that she and Kevin are now an item. Everyone is really pleased for them including Sally and Martin. Dennis slips round to No.5 to speak to Janice about flats they could rent. Unbeknown to them Toyah is in the kitchen; she overhears their conversation and then sees them in a clinch. Charlie attends the antenatal class with Emma. They giggle like a pair of schoolgirls and pretend to be a couple. Norris is busy questioning Emily's sanity to Geena when Emily approaches and overhears him. Toyah has it out first with Janice and later with Dennis. She is appalled by their behaviour. She warns them that they are going to wreck lives and to pack it in.

Toyah is still angry with Janice and Dennis but when she finds Janice crying at home, she softens and hugs her. Jack makes excuses to Vera so that he can nip off and see Terry at the allotment. Vera is suspicious and thinks he's seeing another woman. Fiz and Tyrone go back to No.9 at lunchtime for sex on the sofa in the front room. Vera walks in and catches them. She bars Fiz from the house. Janice and Dennis try to find the right moment to tell Eileen and Les what's going on. Norris is still going on to Emily about her signing the house over to raise capital. Jack goes to see Terry. Terry is distraught and tells Jack that although he knows that he's done some very bad things in his life, on this occasion he's innocent. Eventually Jack believes him and they reach an understanding.

Dennis and Eileen, Les and Janice are preparing for their holiday. Dennis and Janice are dreading it. Emily is getting fed up with Norris going on about the deal she's done on the house. She tells him that if he doesn't like it he can move out. Alan Rush from Weatherfield Windows turns up at the garage. He tells Kevin that he wants his monthly cut increasing by another £100 to £600. He brings along a friend called Karl Harper who apparently buys the cars from Weatherfield Windows and sells them on. He asks Kevin to start putting the clocks back on the cars in exchange for a cut of the profits. Kevin refuses but he's really worried that he's already involved to an extent. Vera is still suspicious of Jack who keeps sloping off. Tyrone and Fiz decide to make Jack's shed their love nest. They let themselves in at lunchtime and Terry has to hide while they have sex on the floor. Dennis,

Les tries to talk Janice out of leaving but she's adamant that she's going. Les finds out that Toyah knew about the affair before he did and says that Toyah will have to leave too. Eileen gets Todd and Jason to go through the house with a couple of bin liners and get rid of all Dennis's belongings. Eventually Janice and Dennis leave together. They are glad to be together at last but tearful about how it turned out and the people they've hurt.

Toyah is trying to help Les now Janice has left him. Janice and Dennis have the spent the night in a B&B but are now looking for a flat. They find one to rent on Chapman Street. Eileen is terribly upset about Dennis. Todd tries to be supportive. Jason feels very hurt. Jack nips off to his allotment again. Vera is sure that he's seeing Brenda Kelly and thinks he must be meeting her in his shed. Vera follows Jack to the shed where she finds Terry. She is amazed to find that Jack has been helping his son. Karl Harper calls on Kevin again to see if he's interested in illegally clocking cars. Kevin tells him to leave. Karl then approaches Tyrone to see if he's interested. Les is in a bad way. He's drinking too much. He puts "I'm Not in Love" by 10cc on the record player and sobs uncontrollably.

Jack and Vera are discussing Terry and the fact that he can't stay in the allotment shed forever. Tyrone overhears them and thinks they're talking about him and that they want him to move out. Dennis and Janice return to the street to let Street Cars and Underworld know that they will be back at work the following day. Les sees them together and goes berserk. He throws all of Janice's belongings out of the window. Norris decides to do some homework regarding the company which has bought Emily's house. Ken tells him he can obtain information from Companies House in Manchester. Fiz persuades Tyrone to take up Karl Harper's offer of making some illegal money clocking cars. Sally calls round to see Eileen and they have a heart-to-heart about men. Toyah calls round to see Janice. She tells both Janice and Dennis what she thinks of them but she then admits that she feels that Janice has left her too. Janice assures Toyah she hasn't left her and they hug.

Les is sinking into depression. Toyah tries to jolly him out of it. Karl Harper confirms the car-clocking arrangement with Tyrone - £200 per car. Tyrone tells Vera that he'll move out by the end of the week. Vera tells him that they don't want him to move out and she then has to tell him about Terry hiding in the allotment shed. Norris discovers the company that Emily dealt with has Richard Hillman listed as one of the directors and Patricia Hillman as the other. He raises his suspicions with Emily. Dennis calls to see Eileen. He offers her money but she throws it back in his face. Les calls to Eileen hoping for mutual sympathy but he's shocked when Eileen tells him that had he been a better husband then Janice would never have left him for Dennis.

In the morning Tyrone takes Terry back to the allotment but on the way Curly sees Terry. Toyah is concerned about Les who is drinking heavily and very depressed. Norris finds out that Richard's dead wife was called Marion Hillman and not Patricia. Tyrone meets Karl Harper and clocks a car for him. He receives £200 for his work. Karl tells him that if he continues to clock cars for him he can get Tyrone on to the guest lists of various clubs in town. Fiz is impressed. Eileen goes to see Janice in the factory. She tells Janice a few home truths and then punches Janice on the nose, knocking her over. Curly tells Jack and Vera that he's seen Terry. He explains to them that they have got twenty-four hours for Terry to hand himself in or he's going to tell Emma everything.

Les tells Vik that he's ready to go back to work, but when Dev points out that he's drunk, Vik tells him to forget work for a few more days. Les tries to argue and Vik ends up sacking him. Toyah and Sam are supposed to be having lunch at Janice and Dennis's flat. However, they can't go as Les is so drunk that Toyah is seriously worried about him. In desperation she sends Sam to go and fetch Janice. Vera tells Terry that Curly is going to tell Emma about him so Terry does a runner leaving a note saying that he's gone to stay with a mate. Norris tells Richard he knows that Kellet Holdings is his company and his co-director is Patricia. Richard is clearly rattled by this. Richard tells Gail that after his first wife Marion died he then had a two-year marriage to Patricia.

Dennis and Janice talk about the state Les was in the night before. Les skives off work. Toyah tells Les that he has to get on with life without Janice. He scrounges a free breakfast out of her at the cafe. Geena is disappointed when Dev refuses to spend Christmas with their families. Vera has a go at Curly in the Rovers. Emma is stunned and angry when Curly tells her that he knew Jack and Vera were hiding Terry. Dev tries to talk to Curly about planning permission and upsets him by saying he will make it worth his while. Dennis buys Janice chocolates and they are very happy together. Terry phones Vera as Emma calls round to see her. Emma is suspicious and tells Vera and Tyrone that they could all go to prison for harbouring a criminal. Emma then tells them they have no choice but to go to the police. Gail tells Molly about Richard keeping his second marriage secret. Molly tries to reassure Gail.

Curly tries hard to talk Emma out of reporting Jack and Vera to the police for hiding Terry, but Emma is unwavering. Molly tries to encourage Gail to call Richard and give him a second chance. Les tells Toyah and Sam that he is determined to make a fresh start. Roy asks Ken if he will do a talk for the members of the Weatherfield Historical Society, and tells Ken that the new chairwoman, Anita Scott, requested him as she is a fan of Ken's work. Emma eventually backs down and tells a worried Vera she will turn a blind eye for once. Les finds out the council have to let him go and this sends him back into a depression. Geena and Shelley are at loggerheads over the Christmas decorations for the Rovers. Eileen is putting on a brave face, but she is angry when she finds out Dennis is fixing Jason's bike. Jason was unaware that Dennis was mending his bike and confronts him at the garage.

Tyrone is rough after his night out with Fiz. Eileen sees Vik in the cafe and pesters him to give Les his job back. Vik says he will think about it. Vik sees Les later that day and tell him to start work straight away. Geena is full of Christmas spirit. Eve tells Shelley she has reservations about living in Fred's house, because it is where he lived with his first wife. Duggie overhears this and tells Fred. Janice and Dennis go to the Rovers at lunchtime. Eileen and Les are also there and they all argue. Eileen throws Les's pint over Janice. Peter invites Shelley to Ken and Deirdre's for Christmas. She's not thrilled, but accepts. Fred tells Eve she can decorate the entire house to suit her taste. Eve is pleased but suggests it would be better if they moved to a smaller house. This idea stuns Fred. Gail has a heart-to-heart with Eileen and gets upset because she's sure she's lost Richard for good.

Fred tells Eve that she is right and that he will move to a smaller house. Toyah tells Les that she and Sam are going to Janice and Dennis's flat for lunch. Les takes it well. Then Les turns up all tearful at the flat with a Christmas card from Leanne saying she's feeling homesick. The bar staff are wondering what Duggie is up to, particularly Shelley, then Geena overhears him talking to his accountant on the telephone. Richard turns up at No.8. He tells Gail that he didn't get her messages because his mobile didn't pick up a signal in the Lake District. Ken's talk at the cafe goes down really well and Anita Scott tells Ken she is a fan. Blanche warns Deirdre to keep her eye on Anita. Betty, Shelley and Geena finally have it out with Duggie, and he tells them that he is selling the Rovers.

Richard and Gail make up and Richard stays the night at No.8. David is upset about this. David talks to Matt about the situation and feels a bit better. David decides he likes Matt. Todd tells Candice he can't go out with her that evening as he's promised Eileen that he'll stay in and have a takeaway with her and Jason. Candice is angry and insists that he cancels his evening with his mum. Duggie explains to the staff that he's selling the Rovers so that he can buy the lease on the rugby club's bar. They are worried about the future of their jobs. Anita tracks down Ken and flatters him by telling him she would like to do an article about him for "What's on in Weatherfield".

Eileen kisses Les on the cheek in a friendly way but he reads too much into it and leaves her house in a hurry. Luke Ashton continues to avoid Charlie, to her annoyance. Fiz moves into No.9 while Jack and Vera are away in Blackpool. Tyrone is worried that they'll find out.

Peter gets drunk and starts a row with Deirdre, blaming her for Susan's death and telling her exactly what he thinks of her. Deirdre slaps him across the face, storms off and leaves her family to sort their own dinner out. Karen apologises for being rude to Eileen and she and Steve make up.

Terry is back in Brentworth Prison. Jack's "heart attack" was a false alarm - it was indigestion. Vera is proud of Terry putting his dad's health before his own freedom.
