Episode 6856 (9th July 2008)

Plot
Maria is less than impressed with Liam's attempts to discuss business with Tom and with the fact that every meeting seems to end up in the pub. As he nurses a hangover she tells him that baby-making is off the agenda until he gets his act together.

Rosie is incredulous that her dad thinks she is having an affair with Tony and she flounces out of number four determined to give Tony the info he needs from the garage. When Kevin leaves for a job she sneaks into the garage and with seconds to spare finally finds the client list Tony wanted. Carla is still feeling slightly uneasy about using Rosie in this way but Tony has no such concerns.

Marcus moves into Eileen's but Sean is desperate to get his job back and even bakes a cake for Carla. But with Tony on the warpath over the garage purchase he is not in the mood for forgiveness and Sean's attempts at apologising falls on deaf ears.

Lloyd is not looking forward to Steve returning and finally tells him over the phone that he has told Michelle that he is going to propose when he gets back. Meanwhile Lloyd is also uncomfortable about Becky working behind the bar and tells her he thinks she should quit before Steve returns. But with Michelle keen to keep Becky around it looks as though Steve is going to get a shock when he arrives home.

Elsewhere Sally is less than impressed with Teresa throwing cigarette buts onto her conservatory roof.
