Episode 6713 (23rd December 2007)

Plot
Its Liz’s hen night and as the booze flows and the women wait for Commando Sam - the stripper - they start to gossip about what good kissers their men are. Carla’s still feeling jealous about Liam and Maria’s relationship and can’t resist confessing that Tony’s a better kisser than Liam.

Maria's horrified and isn't pacified by Carla's half hearted promise that it meant nothing. She's still annoyed when she arrives home but is appeased when Liam admits that they did kiss once after she came onto him, but he instantly regretted it and can't stand his sister-in-law.

David is still denying he’s involved with drugs and feels a burning sense of injustice when no-one believes him. Meanwhile, Sarah is relishing the situation and feigns disappointment for Stephen that David’s let him down, claiming that she’s gutted that now she and Jason will have to move out.

Over at the pub, Michelle is distracted as she wonders whether Ryan is her son or not. Unable to keep up her brave face any longer, she breaks down in Steve's arms and decides that she needs to find a way to put an end to this.

Elsewhere, Rosie is getting ready for her night away with John and has asked Sally to cancel her birthday meal claiming that she’s arranged to go out with her mates. Also, Deirdre wonders whether Vernon is the one for Liz.
