Episode 6746 (4th February 2008)

Plot
It's Maria's hen night and she's having a great time with all the girls until Carla turns up and puts a downer on things. Maria tries to ignore her constant jibes, but Michelle sees she how upset she is and after finding her crying in the loos she urges her not to pay any attention to Carla. Michelle takes Carla into the backroom and tells her to lay off Maria and reveals Maria's paranoid because when Liam was gravely ill he called out for her not Maria. Carla's mind starts rating after this stunning revelation.

Becky is feeling depressed after being dumped yet again, meanwhile, Eileen's stunned when a dejected Jason arrives back on the street with a split lip and the news that it's over with Sarah. Close to tears, he explains how he told her what happened with Becky and now he's lost her forever.

Darryl and Mel aren't speaking after Mel's outburst over Lauren spending his money. He touches a nerve when he says she's just jealous because no one fancies her. Later in the pub, after another barbed comment from Mel, Lauren demands to know why she's so against her relationship with Darryl and tells her to lighten up.

Elsewhere, Violet calls in sick as she can't face working with Sean and Vicky relents and agrees to introduce Kelly to her knicker-party contacts.

Also, Michelle's furious when Ryan arrives back from Liam's stag night drunk and vomiting everywhere and Maria's furious when she goes to the bus shelter ready to snap a picture of Liam tied to the bus shelter in his underpants but finds that Carla has already released him and is standing a bit too close for comfort.
