Episode 7027 (6th March 2009)

Plot
Leanne is completely thrown when a woman called Christina turns up at the bookies asking after Peter. She explains how they have just spent a couple of weeks on her father's yacht together. After initially denying that he knows Christina, Peter is forced to come clean and admits that he left rehab to crew a yacht with a mate and ended up having a fling with Christina.

Oblivious to what's going on at the bookies, Deirdre tells a distracted Ken about how well Peter and Leanne are getting on. Little do they know that the sins of the father have been repeated by the son and are still being repeated by the father.

Roy does his best to try and convince Liz that Becky has a heart of gold and that Liz should really try to see the good in her. Lloyd, meanwhile, confesses that he lied about his whereabouts on Friday because he was skint and couldn't afford to take her out.

Norris and Mary discuss the places they could visit in the motor home, but Rita is quietly worried that Norris's heart really isn't in their road trip.
