Episode 7312 (8th April 2010)

Plot
Peter spends the day avoiding Leanne and instead plots his proposal with the help of Ciaran and Michelle. However, when Janice tells Leanne that she's seen Peter snooping with Michelle, Leanne jumps to conclusions.

As Ken and Deirdre's wedding anniversary party gets under way, Ken reads a card from Blanche, which reveals that Blanche has decided to stay on in Portugal a little longer. Ken makes a heartfelt speech about Deirdre but when Peter sneaks in with Michelle, Leanne furiously confronts them. Peter eventually silences Leanne, though, revealing that Peter was actually going to propose - and Michelle was helping him chose the ring. Leanne's gutted that she jumped to the wrong conclusion and, in turn, ruined something that could have been so romantic.

Meanwhile, Audrey's feeling down after visiting Gail in prison and so calls Lewis to arrange a date. It's therapeutic for her but when Lewis announces that he's not seeing Rita, before insisting that Audrey needn't pay for his time, it's clear that Audrey's on top of the world.

Ryan urges Sophie not to let Sian find out that he made a pass at her, insisting it was a stupid mistake. Sophie's torn, though, especially when Ryan tells Sian that he loves her…

Elsewhere, as Janice prepares a candlelit fish and chip supper for two, Trev turns up at Carla's flat. He's about to call Janice and let her know that he's not going to make it but when Carla pulls him in for a kiss, all thoughts of Janice are forgotten.
