Episode 6881 (13th August 2008)

Plot
Steve is worried about Michelle's night out with Becky, Sean and Marcus and tries to encourage the guys to take them to a gay bar. He's horrified when Michelle comes into the bar clearly dressed to impress. The night is a success for Michelle when she bumps into an old musician friend in a karaoke bar and invites him back for a nightcap.

Gail comes clean to David about Joe's plan to get him and Tina back together via a 'surprise' meeting at the bowling alley. Tina's not fooled by the ruse but she agrees to hear David out.

Teresa is still playing the dutiful wife and rustles up dinner for Jerry and Finlay - curry for Jerry and a sandwich for Finlay. Finlay's not impressed with the sandwich and Teresa is horrified when Jerry tries to give him some of his curry - unaware that she has put one of his tablets in it. Meanwhile Jerry tries to convince her that she should move into his mate's flat.

Elsewhere Ken is feeling guilty about the way he has treated Deirdre but she is in no mood to forgive him and he realises he has got a lot of work to do.
