Episode 8015 (12th December 2012)

Plot
Peter asks Carla to wait until after Christmas before making a decision about whether to stay in Weatherfield. David and Kylie blame each other for their fall out. Carla reduces Rob to head of distribution at the factory. Steve complains about Dennis to Brian and claims he's threatened to hit children with his stick. Eva agrees to be Leanne's bridesmaid. Carla hides a bottle of whiskey under her desk at the factory and keeps drinking from it. She's embarrassed when she has to ask Rob for help when dealing with a client. Stella goes on a double date with Eileen, Paul and Vince Lonsdale. Vince turns out to be an oaf who tells bad jokes. Karl watches their date. Stella is relieved when Eileen "reminds" her that she has to work and leaves. Peter arranges to collect Simon but is stuck in traffic so Carla goes instead. Simon refuses to get in a car with Carla as he can smell drink on her so he steals her car keys and runs off. Gail tells David to move out of No.8 as Max (and by extension Kylie) needs a stable home more than he does. Nick puts him up. Lewis also leaves No.8 with his things. Gail is sad to see him go. Leanne is furious when Simon reports what happened at school. Brian tells Dennis he's received a complaint about him and must pass it on to the council. Dennis decides to resign. Leanne confronts Carla. They exchange insults and brawl in the Street in front of the factory staff. Steve and Rob try to restrain them but Leanne ends up pushing Carla onto the cobbles and tells her she'll kill her if she goes near Simon again. Karl tells Stella he misses her.
