Plot
Mary is delighted to get a phone call from Brendan arranging to meet later in the Rovers. As they arrive for work, Johnny begs Carla not to reveal all about his past to Kate and Aidan. Carla tells him she couldn't care less. Tyrone and Fiz set off for the hospital appointment and Hope's results. Leanne asks Robert to make Nick a birthday cake. Andy does his best to reassure Steph in the wake of the revenge porn attack after her parents see the photos. Norris sneers at Emily's travel plans and she tells him (in Spanish) that sometimes he is a very stupid man. His rants upset her. In the hospital, the consultant gives Tyrone and Fiz the good news that Hope’s tumour has shrunk and is now operable. Rita tells Emily to seize the moment and go to Peru. Nick is delighted with his birthday cake. Realising she’s forgotten the event, Carla feels terrible. Nick understands but Leanne is angry on his behalf. Ken's Hawaiian party begins and Emily announces to everyone that she flies to Peru tomorrow. Everyone except Norris is happy for her. Roy and Cathy are delighted at Hope's news and offer to babysit for Tyrone and Fiz so they can go for a celebratory drink. As the bistro’s New Year's party begins, Caz and Kate share a tearful farewell as Caz leaves for Cyprus. Kevin bumps into Anna in the Rovers. Brendan arrives for his date with Mary. A pleased Aidan overhears Eva stating that she and Jason are definitely finished. Carla buys Nick a card but gets short thrift from Leanne. At No.1’s party, Ken tells Audrey how much he values her friendship but the moment is broken by Nessa who quickly sweeps him away. Luke is delighted when Maria rings him from Cyprus. Mary is upset when Brendan has to go as his wife is expecting him. Carla can't stand being at the bistro's party and wants to leave early. Leanne has a go at her for deserting Nick. As the clock strikes midnight, Aidan and Eva kiss passionately. Carla flees the party and Johnny follows. Audrey sees that Ken is morose, thinking about Deirdre, but Nessa is oblivious. Everyone comes out on to the street to see the fireworks and Kevin gives Anna a kiss. A jealous Tracy sees Robert putting his coat around Leanne. Johnny follows Carla to her door, begging to talk, and is given a slap across his face for his troubles.
