Plot
Panic ensues as Tina goes into labour two months prematurely and is rushed to hospital. As the ambulance pulls away from the Rovers, Izzy spills the beans about what Gary did. Before any can arguments start, an upset Rita reminds everyone that Tina is the priority now. Beth enjoys spreading the gossip to the regulars in the pub. The Armstrongs and Windasses arrive at the hospital and are told to wait while Tommy is allowed in with her. Rob is having trouble off-loading the silk. As Tina's contractions grow stronger, Rita and Dennis turn up at the hospital. Anna castigates her son for his actions and tells him she can't even look at him. As the baby's birth draws near, Tina asks for Izzy to be with her. She gives birth to a boy but he has to be rushed to special care as he is having trouble breathing. Izzy is distraught. Katy turns up at the hospital and Gary rounds on her for telling what she knew. Izzy breaks the news about the baby but refuses to be comforted by Gary and also scorns Katy's presence. Sally gets drunk in the Rovers and insults a pontificating Norris. With Carla keeping a close eye on Rob he tells Tracy that she’ll have to do the legwork in flogging the silk. Feeling cut off from her family, Katy suggests that she moves in with Ryan. After an emotional Dev has headed home, Price wants to go after him. Insisting he’ll check on Dev, Karl is forced to call at No. 7. An angry Dev asks him if he has a guilty conscience but quickly apologies for his outburst. Nevertheless, Karl is shaken. Tina is kept in overnight due to high blood pressure. She and Izzy view the baby in the incubator. Karl tells Stella that he and Dev had a good chat.
