Episode 8810 (4th January 2016)

Plot
Carla ignores Johnny's pleas and tells Aidan and Kate that he's her dad. Cathy orders Nessa out of her house. She is shocked when Roy admits that he knew about her affair with Alan and they were on their way there to stop her finding the letters. Tracy takes Todd to the bistro, hoping to see Robert. Johnny insists that he didn't know for sure that Carla was his but when he's forced to reveal that he gave Carla's mum money towards her daughter when she was growing up, he admits that he knew deep down that it was true. Aidan and Kate demand to know if their mother knew that he cheated on her. Cathy swears never to forgive Nessa and is disappointed in Roy. As Johnny admits that his wife eventually found out the truth, Liz defends him to Aidan and Kate by saying that her death wasn't his fault. With no alternative, Johnny has to admit that they were rowing about his cheating when she died. Norris tells Mary he's concerned for her. Mary feels his disapproval and announces that hers and Brendan's love for each other will triumph. Aidan and Kate wash their hands of Johnny. Kate tells all to the curious drinkers at the Rovers. Tracy glams up for dinner but is upset when Robert ignores her. Ken is appalled by Nessa's selfishness when she makes herself out to be the injured party. Kevin hates Dirty Dancing but pretends to Joanne that he had a good time. Joanne snogs him as Anna and Erica walk past, returning from their single's night, although neither sees the spectacle. After leaving Joanne, Kevin walks Anna home. Robert reminds Carla that they'll have to pretend to get on or they'll arouse suspicion. Grabbing her by the arm, he suggests she loses the attitude as she's the one with everything to lose and he could make life difficult for her.
