Episode 7035 (18th March 2009)

Plot
Steve is desperate to try and make Becky see sense and asks her to join him for a Chinese so they can talk things through. Steve is worried though when Liz and Lloyd arrive at the same restaurant.

Later, Steve's worst fears are realised when his pleas with Becky to go with him on their honeymoon to the Maldives fall on deaf ears as she and Liz begin trading insults across the tables. As Lloyd joins in, Steve can't resist and as a full-blown row breaks out, Becky does a runner. Steve is thrilled, however, when she turns up at the Rovers to see him. They leave for their "honeymoon".

Gail is enjoying having Joe back in the house but David isn't enjoying it in the slightest, especially as he and Tina are no longer an item. Gail is stunned when he storms downstairs with his bags telling Gail he's leaving to stay with his dad in Liverpool. Gail, however, realises there's nothing she can do to stop him.

Tony calls into the salon for a haircut and to discuss Lad Rags with Maria. Natasha enjoys flirting with him as she does his hair, but he is quick to point out that he's still a married man. Meanwhile, Luke has a go at Tony for carrying out other business in Underworld time.

At the Christian centre, Ryan's band is a big hit and Sian is totally smitten. Sophie is sick of her going on about him, so Sian takes things into her own hands and tells Ryan that she thinks the band are brilliant, before sharing a kiss.

Elsewhere, Umed remains cynical about Tara and Jason's relationship.
