Episode 5928 (31st December 2004)

Plot
It's New Year's Eve. Shelley, Vera, Blanche and Betty set up the buffet for the party in the Rovers.

Sally arrives home in a posh car which Ian has leant her for the weekend as a thank you for all her hard work. Kevin's impressed.

Shelley's delighted when Charlie gives her a new dress to wear to the party. She's put out when she realises it's too small and asks Charlie to take it back. Charlie suggests she should go on a diet and the dress could be an incentive. He instead gives the dress to Jason so Violet can try it instead.

When Violet turns up for work wearing Shelley's dress, Shelley's furious until Charlie explains he gave it to Jason rather than throw it away. Violet apologises an offers to change. Shelley feeling completely humiliated, but blaming herself, runs through to the back and cries her eyes out.

Elsewhere, the Baldwins celebrate Warren's 18th birthday. For his present Candice gives him a ring explaining it only symbolises commitment if he wants it to. Danny leads Frankie up to the factory roof where he romantically proposes to her even thought they're already married. Frankie's touched.

Chesney's very excited when Cilla and Les take him to the Rovers with them.

Against his will, Steve allows Tracy to drag him to the Rovers with her.
