Episode 6951 (21st November 2008)

Plot
An uncertain Hayley sits alone in the café before going to sit on the bench outside the salon to contemplate her life. Roy believes it's jet lag making her distant but finally gets to the bottom of his wife’s strange behaviour when she confesses to him that she wants to go back to Africa.

Becky tells Steve that her solicitor wants to see him at lunchtime but Steve is concerned about how he is going to get away without arousing suspicions with Michelle. Michelle catches him sneaking out of the pub and asks where he is going, forcing Steve to lie. But the cat is nearly let out of the bag by a careless Lloyd.

Gary and Len arrive on the Street looking for the Platts and spend the day observing the comings and goings from the house. Meanwhile, Graeme tries to figure out a way to get rid of the stolen car and then asks Ashley for a job.

Darryl discovers that Dev is buying the kebab shop from Jerry who has also decided to sell the house. Stunned, the pair watch a 'For Let' sign go up at the house and Darryl finds it hard to believe that Amber did not know what her dad was up to, reducing her to tears.

Elsewhere, Emily offers Jed a room at her house after he confesses he is dreading going to his new lodgings and Norris loses out on the Cliff Richard competition to a woman called Mary Taylor.
