Episode 6980 (31st December 2008)

Plot
It's New Year's Eve on Coronation Street and some people are in more of a mood to celebrate than others…

Tyrone is determined to try and win Molly round and is pleased when she agrees to meet him for a drink in the Rovers. But when he catches her chatting to Jason and agreeing to catch up with him for a drink in the pub, too, Tyrone sees red.

Furious with his petty jealousy, Molly throws Tyrone out of the shop and as the New Year arrives, she makes a shock decision about their future.

Liz and Lloyd are circling each other, both trying to play it cool, believing the other is not interested. But as the day continues, Liz gets sick of hearing Michelle and Steve going on about Danielle. As the clock strikes midnight, Liz and Lloyd sneak off to his flat to see in 2009 alone.

Peter is already sick of being on the wagon and tells Leanne that he feels he would be better off staying away from the Rovers and out of temptation's way. Blanche manages to raise a smile from him though, when she decides to place a bet that Deirdre could cash in when she's gone.

Becky is becoming increasingly frustrated of waiting for Steve to become a free man and she's not best pleased when she hears Michelle telling him that New Year would be a good time for them to make a fresh start.

The night comes and goes with a bang for everyone when Pam and Darryl's attempts to break open the outside loo containing their bio oil has explosive consequences.
