Episode 6461 (3rd January 2007)

Plot
After fretting all night about who his new business partner might be, Liam is stunned to discover that Paul has bought Danny’s share of the factory at a hefty cost! However, Carla is disappointed when she discovers, via Liam, that Paul has spent all his money on the factory and therefore can’t put any money into her children’s clothes business!

Over at the hospital, Violet is devastated to learn that she’s lost the baby, but it gets worse when she’s also told that she has also lost one fallopian tube and damaged the other, so it’s likely that she won’t be able to have children. Remaining stoical and putting on a brave face, she rejects Jamie’s consoling.

When Jason moans to Sarah about missing work, she berates him and tells him to get on with it like all other single parents have to, Jason finally starts to realise that Sarah might actually think better of him if he faced up to the duties of parenthood.

Janice is somewhat pleased to find her boiler has broken again and she needs to call Roger the plumber back!
