Episode 6627 (24th August 2007)

Plot
As Paul resumes his hunt through Jack’s tin he slyly pockets the deeds to the house and a few bills. Later, Leanne's confused when Paul is showing the bank’s business manger round the restaurant and insists he calls him Jack. Paul and the bank manager shake on the deal, but Leanne's concerned when she discovers that he's 'borrowed' Jack's identity to raise the money against his house.

However, desperate for investment and with little choice but to trust him, Leanne declares Paul as a partner. Later that evening, Paul tells unsuspecting Jack and Vera his good news and they're delighted that he's going to be sticking around.

Meanwhile, Eileen's still on a high after her successful date with Jerry and ranks even higher in his estimations when she spots Mel being hassled by two lads at the takeaway and steps in to throw them out. Jerry's extremely grateful for Eileen's help and as he walks her home, she accepts his invitation for a romantic meal at his house the following night and is pleased when he moves in for a kiss.

Elsewhere, Casey tells an uncomfortable Ashley that she’s moving away for good. He’s shocked by the realisation that he’ll miss her, but to her dismay he doesn't take the bait and implore her to stay. However, Ashley clearly still has feelings for Casey.

Liz and Vernon are delighted to have the pub to themselves when Steve and Michelle head off to Ireland on a family holiday. And Jason continues to worry about what David said to him.
