Episode 7002 (30th January 2009)

Plot
David is in a bad way lying on the pavement as Tina, Eddie and Anna try to pull Gary off him before he does any more damage. David is taken to hospital in an ambulance and asks Tina to lie for him and say that Gary threw the first punch.

Meanwhile, Anna and Eddie berate Gary for the assault and warn him that he could go down. But when Gail tells Anna that Gary is a mindless brute, she sticks up for her son and insists that David is a liar.

Carla decides it is time she had some answers of her own, so she pays Jed a visit in Wigan and takes him out for lunch. As she plies him with alcohol, she quizzes him about Tony and when he takes off his scarf, she notices the marks on his neck. She asks him if they have anything to do with Tony and his silence speaks volumes.

Janice is surprised when she hears from Emily that Mike’s wife Laura is grateful for Janice being such a good friend to Mike and being there when he died. Janice is moved by her words and tells Leanne that Mike’s death has made her think seriously about her own future.

Elsewhere, Norris and Mary decide to try and make some money by renting out their motor home.
