Episode 5687 (8th February 2004)

Plot
Sarah's intrigued to hear that Karl is going to the concert in place of Martin. Gail is delighted to be asked to babysit Bethany. Steve desperately tries to find another wedding venue at such sort notice. Fiz tricks Les into admitting that there's nothing wrong with Chesney. Fiz threatens to tell everyone how Cilla tried the same trick to get money out of a shopkeeper when Fiz was nine. Steve manages to book Walcot Manor, Karen's original choice of venue. He'd refused as it was too expensive, but now tells a delighted Karen that he's changed their plans as she deserves nothing but the best. Todd is reluctant to discuss Karl when Sarah quizzes him. Maria hijacks Claire for a drink and tells her that Ashley's been missing her. Norris is frustrated when Rita refuses to change her mind about selling the Kabin via the Estate Agents. Rita is amazed when Cilla tells her she's dropping the compensation claim. Tracy admits to Steve that she was the one who'd cancelled the wedding. He warns her to stay out of his life when she suddenly starts having intense labour pains.
