Episode 7168 (23rd September 2009)

Plot
Luke tells Michelle that his relationship with Rosie is coming to an end and he's going to end things later that night - he's hoping that he and Michelle can pick up where they left off.

He invites Rosie to his flat to talk but after a bad day at work - during which Janice told her that Luke has no intention of producing her designs - Luke starts to flounder. As the tears begin to roll, Rosie suggests that she move in with him. Luke finds himself unable to break Rosie's heart and agrees.

Meanwhile, under orders from Emily, Norris relents and opens Ramsay's trunk. Inside, Norris discovers a bundle of unopened letters from Ramsay to his mother desperate for some acknowledgement and he quickly begins to see his mother in a new light.

Norris also finds a boomerang which Ramsay once sent to him and wonders why his mother never let him see it. It's the final blow when Norris then discovers a cruel note his mother sent to Ramsay, telling him to leave her alone. Norris finally breaks down full of regret at turning his back on his half-brother.

Fiz tries to talk to Chesney but he compares John to their mother Cilla's dodgy boyfriends and fears that he'll be left to fend for himself again. Fiz is adamant that John is the love of her life and that she's nothing like Cilla but Chesney remains unconvinced.

Elsewhere, Leanne informs Peter that she's taken a job in a bar. Peter's not happy, though, as it means they'll hardly see each other.
