Episode 7018 (23rd February 2009)

Plot
Tina is becoming extremely jittery about the court case but David tries to calm her down. Gary realises that his Uncle Len has simply made things worse with his strong-arm tactics and knows that Tina intends to go ahead with her testimony, despite Len’s best attempts to persuade her otherwise. Len, however, has one more trick up his sleeve. When Joe gets a call about a developer wanting him to fit a load of new kitchens, he doesn’t smell a rat until it is too late.

It hasn’t taken Luke Strong long to get his feet under the table at Underworld and Tony is un-nerved by his apparent good relationship with the factory staff. When Luke says that he also has to have a chat with Maria, Tony’s unease grows and Luke reveals that he's also looking after Carla’s share of Lad Rags.

Becky is trying to fit into life at the Rovers but her attempts merely irritate Liz, especially when she finds Becky and Amy tucking into a big fry up for breakfast. Liz tries to explain away her anger by saying that she's worried about Amy but will Liz ever accept that Becky is now part of Steve’s life and therefore hers.

Deirdre is pleased when Blanche tells her that Pam sold Ken a bottle of up-market wine that morning. Believing he has a special night planned, Deirdre heads off to make his favourite meal, completely unaware that the wine isn't destined for her table at all.

Elsewhere, Sophie is furious when Rosie tells Ryan that her sister’s friend Sian fancies him.
