Episode 6999 (26th January 2009)

Plot
It’s mayhem on the Street as Maria sits dazed in the crumpled wreck of her car and Tony lies on the cobbles. Kevin rushes to Maria’s aide, whilst Carla is relieved to discover that Tony is conscious. The emergency services are called and Tony and Maria are taken to hospital.

The enormity of what she has done hits home and Maria waits with baited breath to see if she has harmed her unborn child. Meanwhile, the police warn her that she could be facing an attempted murder charge if it is proved that she tried to run Tony over on purpose.

A cocky Gary Windass suggests to Tina that David tried to frame him for the robbery because he's jealous and worried that Tina fancies him. Later in the pub, David's devastated when he hears Tina telling Jason that she isn’t sure Gary is guilty.

Desperate to escape the problems at home, Ken takes Eccles for a long walk by the canal but when the dog falls in and Ken tries to rescue him, he finds a good Samaritan in the form of the charming Martha Fraser, who invites him to dry out in the warmth of her canal boat.

Elsewhere, Eileen is surprised to discover that Julie is in fact the daughter of one of her old school friends and Sophie comes home from swimming in a bad mood but won’t tell Sally why.
