Episode 8019 (17th December 2012)

Plot
Tyrone plans a quiet birthday with Ruby while Kirsty goes out with the factory girls. Karl doesn't think Stella and Jason will last beyond Christmas. Peter tells Leanne that he intends to work at the bookies and asks her to work with him. Leanne agrees although she's not happy about it. Rob tells the factory staff that Carla is selling up but that their jobs are probably safe. Rob tells Michelle he's thinking of borrowing money to buy the factory. She thinks he's nuts. Karl corners Jason and tells him to find a woman his own age. Stella isn't impressed and arranges to see Karl at the Rovers to iron things out. Fiz and Tyrone arrange to celebrate Tyrone's birthday together while Kirsty is out. Unknown to them, Kirsty has organised a surprise party at the Rovers and Emily has agreed to baby-sit Ruby. Peter gives Beth a month's notice to quit the bookies flat as he wants it back. Kirk and Craig open the butchers to sell the turkeys. Peter goes skating with Simon. Leanne worries that he will take over. Beth is pleased when Kirk suggests that they look for somewhere to live together. Chesney tells Kirk that the woman he bought the turkeys from has been arrested for handling stolen goods and advises Kirk to dump the turkeys. Fiz arrives at No.9 when Kirsty leaves. She and Tyrone are pleased to see each other. Tyrone can't wait until he marries Kirsty so he can finally be rid of her and keep Ruby. He and Fiz agree to get back together when Kirsty leaves. They kiss just as Kirsty returns with Emily to fetch Tyrone for the party.
