Episode 6742 (30th January 2008)

Plot
Michelle has given Ryan a letter from Nick but Ryan’s not interested and tells Michelle he’s already made it clear that he wants nothing to do with him, Wendy or Alex before tearing the letter up. Michelle reassures Ryan that she won't contact Alex unless he wants to see her. However, it’s clear that she can’t put it out of her mind and later that day, she goes to Alex’s school and introduces herself as his mum - giving him her number and telling him she’s there if he ever wants to talk. Michelle knows she’s doing the wrong thing but can’t stop herself.

Kevin is relieved to be home, but Rosie is still at loggerheads with Sally and Sophie and has decided she’s fed up of the bullying at school and is going back to the factory - Fiz will just have to deal with it. Sally looks to her husband for back up against Rosie’s decision but Kevin’s not interested in getting involved in any more rows and tells Sally to just accept Rosie's decision.

At the pub Carla can’t resist having another dig at Maria by complaining about how her constant wedding planning is eating into Liam’s work time. Liam quietly asks her to lay off his fiancee but Carla's enjoying it far too much.

Jack brings Vera's ashes home and tells Molly and Tyrone that he's not going to scatter the ashes off Blackpool Pier just yet - she can wait until he can go with her and in the meantime she can stay on the mantle piece and watch over them all.

Also, Ryan's thrilled when Liam asks him to be his best man and Jason is still feeling depressed about Sarah.
