Episode 7650 (21st July 2011)

Plot
James isn't happy when the bank loan doesn't come through. Izzy can't believe it when Gary appears at the factory and announces he's working in packing with Kirk. Peter tells Ken that he and Leanne have sorted out their problems. Ken is pleased. James tells Ken that his friend in Chester can't let him a room until tomorrow so he's staying for another day. Ken is surprised when Sophie and Sian tell him about Rob and Janet being arrested and wonders why James didn't say anything about it. James tells him he just wants to forget about it all but Ken thinks he should try to clear his name. A letter for Ken is delivered to the Rovers by mistake. Izzy is perturbed when Gary follows her to the cafe for lunch. Feeling suffocated, she tells him she doesn't like him working at the factory as they'll be spending too much time together. Stella drops the letter off at No.1. Ken is amazed that it's a cheque for £50,000. When James returns, Ken tackles him, aware that he's behind it as the surveyor called while James had the house to himself. He realises James was in on the soup kitchen scheme and calls him a crook. He rips up the cheque. James blames his way of life on his upbringing. Simon overhears Leanne and Peter discussing another baby. Ken starts phoning the police but James shoves him aside and leaves the house with his things. Deirdre and Tracy find Ken barely conscious on the floor.
