Episode 7129 (27th July 2009)

Plot
Jason enthusiastically tells Eileen and Tina how Leon wants him to join his football team. Eileen and Tina think it's hilarious as Jason hasn't realised it's a gay team. Jason's oblivious to their amusement as he's more interested in working out how he and Tina re going to afford to do up Number 12. Realising they can't afford it, Tina hits upon the idea of asking her dad to fit the kitchen for free.

Meanwhile, Joe agrees to her request but he's preoccupied by the prospect of finding out if David has acquired some pills. David informs him that he's managed to get hold of some and that they'll cost him £50. But when Joe collects them, David decides that his price has increased.

Tony decides to tackle the problem of Helen and Barry head on after seeing how much the situation's upsetting Maria. He takes them round to the house and apologises, before suggesting that they try to be friends for the sake of baby Liam. Helen begrudgingly agrees.

Chesney's fed up as it's his birthday and he doesn't have any money to do anything. Not even able to afford to take Sian and Sophie up on their offer of a bowling trip, he asks Fiz if he can have the money instead of the trainers.

Elsewhere, Steve and Becky proudly tell Lloyd that they've set a wedding date for two weeks' time. They all wonder if the impending nuptials will persuade Liz to return from Spain.
