Episode 7989 (5th November 2012)

Plot
Nick puts Lewis up. Wendy's complaint about Ken leads to a formal investigation against him. Ken thinks it's slander. The Rovers wins the Pub of the Year competition, with the award ceremony taking place tonight. Rita convinces Deirdre to confront Wendy and comes along. Steve misses Michelle as she visits her parents in Ireland. Norris thinks the Rovers winning is unjust as Gloria cheated with the comments box. Audrey struggles to make it through a shift at the salon. Jenna catches Lloyd and Mandy kissing and tells them she's fine with it. Lewis hears about Gloria rigging the comments box and tips off a friend at the Gazette. Aiden is offered a job in London and tells Maria he's considering asking Marcus to come with him. Stella isn't happy when Carole Evans from the Weatherfield Arms, a woman she previously fired, shows up at the award ceremony. Leonard Mathers from Lancashire Leisure reads out some of the comments cards, unaware that Gloria has written them herself. Wendy tells Deirdre and Rita that Ken tried to force himself on her but Deirdre finds her story unconvincing and realises she's lonely. Norris accuses Gloria of forging a comment card attributed to him. Gloria tries to say she re-wrote them as the handwriting wasn't legible. She makes a grab for the plaque.
