Episode 6416 (3rd November 2006)

Tracy is still adamant that it should be Charlie who moves out of number six, so she is stunned to come home to find the locks changed and her belongings in bags, dumped outside the Barlows’ back door. Tracy is devastated by his actions and finally admits to her family that he is a complete rat. Deirdre takes her daughter to the Rovers but all eyes are on Tracy as she drowns her sorrows. However, as they leave, a horrified Tracy can only look on as she sees Charlie getting out of a cab with an attractive blonde woman. Charlie smiles over and waves sarcastically, but this only angers Tracy more and it’s clear that the seed of revenge has been firmly planted in her mind. Over in the Platts’, the family are reluctant to see the mediator at first but as the session begins, Gail is shocked as they unburden themselves one by one with Sarah blaming David for everything that has gone wrong with the family and David admitting that he doesn’t like who he has become. Thoroughly humiliated but determined to see it through, Gail books another session. And Frankie continues to talk up the idea of moving to Spain in a bid to cut an increasingly desperate Jamie out of her life for good. After a heart to heart in the Rovers, Danny eventually agrees to leave with her.
