Episode 6458 (31st December 2006)

Plot
Frankie and Jamie are packing up before they leave for Spain to make a new start but Frankie’s distracted and agitated. Despite Jamie’s optimism, she’s still angry with him about his outburst in the pub and having second thoughts about whether they really will be able to escape their past when they start afresh abroad.

When Jamie receives a phone call after midnight, he is horror struck to hear Danny’s voice. Jamie wants answers but Danny merely tells him not to worry about the factory, wishes him a happy New Year and hangs up.

After scheming to get Michelle to give up her date with Sonny to work on New Years Eve, Steve makes another attempt to seduce her with candles and champagne at midnight. However, Steve is gutted when his plan fails as Sonny arrives at the Rovers to see the New Year in with a delighted Michelle.

Eileen brings in the New Year at home with her granddaughter Holly. Much to her dismay, Jason is still refusing to take an interest in his daughter and is still insisting that she’s taken into care.

Elsewhere Vera is tiring of the ‘new’ Jack and wants her grumpy old husband back! And Tracy winds Charlie up when she threatens to play away with a fit guy in the pub.
