Episode 6511 (12th March 2007)

Plot
Carla's convinced that Liam's hiding something from her and continues to probe him about why Ryan's joyriding provoked such a bad reaction from Paul. Meanwhile, the important buyer arrives for her meeting with the Connor brothers and is greeted by a picket line and an empty, disorganised factory! After a disastrous meeting and with Paul still missing, Liam decides to give a delighted Sean his job back.

Later, back at the factory, there's still no sign of Paul and Carla is increasingly anxious. Worried about his brother, Liam decides to let Carla in on his secret and reveals that Paul was responsible for Ryan's dad's death in the car crash. He was driving under the influence and Dean died instantly, so the two brothers decided to move his body to the driver’s seat to protect Paul. Carla is stunned as she tries to take in the fact that her husband has killed a man and kept it from her all these years.

Meanwhile, over at the Barlows', Tracy has delivered her 'not guilty' plea and as Peter marvels at his sister's confidence, it's clear that Deirdre is having serious doubts about whether to trust Tracy.

Elsewhere, Janice and Leanne catch up and Janice is impressed by Leanne’s new job in property and all her money and admits that she came back from Paris because she missed Weatherfield too much. Over at the Rovers, Peter likes what he sees of Maria and Liz and the delivery man Derek enjoy each others company over a drink.
