Episode 6957 (28th November 2008)

Plot
Becky can’t believe that Steve has told her he loves and gives him every opportunity to back out. But Steve convinces her he is serious and insists her he is going to tell Michelle straight away. Once back at the pub though, family life takes over and with Michelle and her family worrying about Maria’s scan he realizes that splitting up with Michelle is not going to be easy.

Michelle, Barry and Helen go with Maria to the hospital for her appointment – she is terrified and almost backs out of it but is eventually persuaded to have the scan and is relieved when everything is fine.

Deirdre returns home from France and is greeted by Peter and Simon but is surprised when they disappear as soon as Ken arrives. Ken and Blanche fill her in on what has happened whilst she has been away but Deirdre insists they are still going to be part of the boy’s life.

Joe is having trouble with a credit card company but doesn’t admit it to Gail. He is quizzed by Tina and tries to make out everything is fine but she is not convinced.

Rosie gets a visit from Carla and Tony and is confident that she has them both in the palm of her hand. Tony can see that Carla has no choice but to agree when Rosie asks for a pay rise and he asks Rosie to man the office when he takes Carla on honeymoon.

Elsewhere, there is disappointment for Hayley but good news for Graeme.
