28th January 2009: In Coronation Street's 7000th episode, Maria Connor was surprised to see Jed Stone drinking in the Rovers, as she had been convinced that Tony Gordon had murdered him. In December, Jed had supported Maria in her campaign against Tony, who she believed had killed her husband Liam, but upon his return Jed told Maria that they were wrong about Tony. Maria was shocked by the turn of events and began to doubt her suspicions about Tony, unaware that Tony had in fact arranged Liam's death, and following his attempt on Jed's life on Christmas Eve, he had forced Jed to move to Wigan to get him out of the way.
