Episode 6474 (21st January 2007)

Plot
With Tracy’s new solicitor on board, Ken starts to worry about how she’s going to be paid for now they’re not on legal aid. Tracy’s angry as she pulls on their heart strings wondering how much her freedom is worth. Blanche offers some of her own cash but with Deirdre piling on the pressure, Ken knows this is his problem to sort out and as he goes through his paperwork he realises there’s only one solution.

Peter, meanwhile, finds a pleasing distraction to the Barlows’ problems in Maria and wastes no time in launching into some serious flirting with the sexy salon girl.

Les is still in the doghouse with Chesney after Cilla’s departure and attempts to lure him back to the Battersbys’ with the prospect of decorating. But Chesney won’t be swayed and an irate Fiz marches round to number 5 to tell Les he needs to buck his ideas up if she’s going to let Chesney return home.

Elsewhere, Paul attempts to tell Carla to stop using the factory staff. Bill prepares to move in with Audrey much to the disgust of both their families.
