Episode 6448 (15th December 2006)

Plot
Still seething about Jamie and Frankie, Violet makes no effort to keep the news under wraps and when Norris overhears her telling Michelle in the Rovers, it’s only a matter of time before the entire street is gossiping. Meanwhile, an anxious Jamie is waiting for Frankie to return, worrying how he is going to break it to her that Violet is having his child, that the entire street knows about their affair and that without Danny they don’t own any part of the business.

Over at the Battersbys’, Chesney is worried about his mum’s imminent test results despite Les’s reassurance that it’s just a formality and she’ll be fine. Cilla has banned everyone from celebrating her birthday, but Les and Fiz arrange an ‘unbirthday party’ for her. Touched by their thought, Cilla forgets her worries for the evening and tucks into a big Chinese take-out and a lager!

Elsewhere, Steve cautiously approaches Tracy about whether he can spend time with Amy at Christmas. He is pleasantly surprised when she agrees to let him have her for a few days, but is left worried by Tracy’s insinuation that Amy is ‘better off’ with him. Scheming Tracy’s plan is working, she has everyone feeling worried about her and wary about Charlie.

Also Michelle plays hard to get but finally agrees to go out on a date with Steve.
