Episode 8790 (9th December 2015)

Plot
Tracy is outraged to discover that Nessa stayed the night at No.1. Ken tells her he had to move on eventually. Bethany talks Sarah into letting her take the day off school to go shopping with her in Manchester. Sarah agrees partly to avoid Todd as she hasn't decided what to do about the baby. Neither Carla nor Nick are bothered about having a big engagement party, despite Michelle encouraging them to push the boat out. Anna suffers a hangover after the previous night's events. Cathy suggests to Nessa that winning Amy round might be the way to Ken's heart. Johnny receives a visiting order from Rob and lets Nick know. Nessa suggests a trip to the Christmas markets with Ken and Amy. Ken turns down the invitation so she and Amy go. Amy makes it clear that she expects money to be spent on her. Brendan meets Mary at the Rovers but she is off with him for being married. Johnny wonders whether to tell Carla about Rob but she spots the visiting order herself. She is curious why Rob would want to meet Johnny when they haven't seen each other for years and suggests that Johnny go to find out. Mary feels disillusioned and tells Brendan she isn't cut out to be a mistress. He tries to charm her, telling her they'll be together when the time is right, but when he leans for a kiss she turns away. Back from shopping with Bethany, Sarah tells Todd she's having the baby aborted. Amy takes Nessa to one side and tells her not to hurt Ken or she won't be held responsible for her actions. Carla is certain that Rob will have a good reason for wanting to see Johnny.
