Episode 6430 (20th November 2006)

Plot
Frankie and Jamie nervously enter Danny’s flat, knowing what they are about to do won’t be easy but holding resolute that it has to be done. The confused lovers awkwardly begin to speak when Danny takes them by surprise by announcing he’s got a secret of his own and gleefully beckons footballer son Warren in from the bedroom.

Jamie and Frankie are wrong footed by Warren’s unannounced appearance and are forced to listen as Danny and Warren excitedly inform them of the talented youngster’s impending transfer back to an English club. Frankie and Jamie squirm as Danny proposes a celebratory meal out. It’s a ghastly charade for Frankie as Danny relishes having his family by his side.

Still determined to come clean, Jamie wants to use the opportunity to tell Warren as well but Frankie can’t do it and as the harsh reality of their situation sets in, her resolve to make a go of it with Jamie begins to crumble.

Elsewhere, still feeling marginalized at the café and having no friends in the street, Becky once again helps herself to another fiver from Roy’s Rolls’ till. A suspicious Vera has an idea that Becky is pilfering and voices her concerns to a disappointed Hayley. Ever the optimist, the café owner is prepared to give her new employee the benefit of the doubt but after witnessing another aggressive outburst from Becky in the Rovers.

Meanwhile, after Danny’s refusal to stump up the cash for the Underworld Christmas party, Liam finds a novel way of settling the argument. He suggests a darts match, machinists versus management. If the girls win then Danny and Liam will foot the bill for a Christmas bash.

Also, Chesney confides in Les that he believes Cilla is having an affair and Tracy arranges a girls’ night out with Claire as she continues to play for sympathy.
