Episode 6979 (29th December 2008)

Plot
When Danielle comes looking for Lloyd, he dashes back inside leaving Liz convinced that he is embarrassed about what happened. When they all return to the Rovers, Steve is stunned that Lloyd managed to bag such a looker and Liz can't help feeling jealous when Danielle kisses Lloyd.

For Lloyd though, there is only one woman he's interested in and when he escapes Danielle's clutches and heads to the smoking shelter, he and Liz carry on where they left off - and this time they head for the bedroom.

Deirdre and Ken return from visiting Tracy and are both delighted when they hear from Blanche that Peter is off the booze. Peter is thrilled when they agree that Simon can go home with him tomorrow.

The recession doesn't seem to be affecting Tony Gordon - his flats are selling and he is a hit with the Underworld staff for his kindness towards Maria. His good mood is sealed when Carla agrees to go to Scotland and celebrate Hogmanay with him.

Jack is confident things are looking up for Tyrone when Molly offers to cook dinner for him. But once again, Tyrone misreads the signals and ends up back at square one.

Elsewhere, Darryl starts to regret getting involved with Auntie Pam's dodgy oil business.
