Episode 7055 (15th April 2009)

Plot
It's Peter's birthday and Simon's organising a party for him. Peter takes the opportunity to invite Michelle and for Simon's benefit, she agrees to attend. But the atmosphere at the Barlows' is strained with tensions rife between Ken and Deirdre.

Unbeknown to Ken, Audrey's told Peter about Ken's other woman. Stunned, Peter can't believe that after all Ken's lectures on morals, he's the one having an affair. Pulling him outside, Peter wants to hear the truth. When Ken describes Martha as his soul mate, Peter's disgusted. Claiming that Deirdre has a right to hear the news, Peter threatens to reveal all.

Tom decides that if Maria's running business decisions by Tony, he'll run them by Luke. As Maria and Tony then meet to discuss Tom's designs, Luke interrupts, revealing that Tom's asked him to provide his opinion. Tony is thunderous. Feeling a fool, Maria decides to have it out with Tom.

Teresa paints Darryl and Amber a grim picture of the estate she's been living on but Darryl remains unmoved. However, when Amber sees Teresa preparing to sleep on Maxine's bench, she persuades Dev to let her stay in the flat again. Dev agrees, so long as Darryl moves in with her.

David continues his friendly tactics towards Gary, but is seems that it could be all part of his master plan Gail's fooled but Joe's unsure. He doesn't tackle it, though, as Joe's got more on his mind with the increasing demands from Len and the loan shark.

Elsewhere, Jack is upset when three of his pigeons go missing; and Poppy promises to keep Dev's dirty little secret.
