Episode 7074 (11th May 2009)

Plot
As Dev waits for Tara's answer to his proposal, he's horrified when he sees what's on the huge poster which is unfurling down the side of the Victoria Court flats. As the stunned crowd looks on, Dev is thoroughly humiliated and realises that Tara isn't going to give him the answer he wanted. As she stands defiant, filling everyone in his one-night stand with Lisa, everyone begins to laugh.

Standing up, Dev grabs Tara and drags her back to the flat in the hope of an explanation. Meanwhile, mortified by her dad's behaviour, Amber moves out of the flat to live with Darryl and Teresa.

Jason tries to talk Eileen and Julie around, but they're having none of it. Eileen soon heads home where she's greeted by a drunken Paula. Not wanting any more dirty linen washed in public, Eileen pulls her inside. Suddenly feeling sorry for Julie, she offers to help the pair reconcile.

As Peter and Luke vie for Michelle's affection, Ryan becomes a pawn in the game. Realising that Ryan's band are struggling for transport, Luke offers to loan them a van. Michelle's clearly touched but determined not to be upstaged, Peter goes all-out to get Ryan tickets for a sought-after gig.

The parked motor home is a distressing sight for Norris. Mary insists that it won't be there for long but looking at Norris, Emily isn't so sure.

Elsewhere, a plan continues to form as David hooks Gary in with talk of his involvement in stealing to order.
