Episode 7690 (12th September 2011)

Plot
As Steve reels, Deirdre pleads with him to speak to Tracy before it's too late. At first Steve refuses to believe it, accusing Tracy of lying. As she breaks down, though, her vulnerability finally convinces him that she's telling the truth. However, this changes nothing for Steve - he won't let Tracy use another child to manipulate him and refuses to be a father to this baby. Thrusting her referral to the abortion clinic into his hands, she spits back that it's nothing more than she expected from him. Meanwhile, Frank surprises Carla when he takes her back to the posh Cheshire home they lost out on a few weeks ago. The buyer has dropped out, so their offer has now been accepted. Elsewhere, a drunken Sean races off to the adoption meeting after losing track of time, while Kylie's more upbeat as her nail business starts to boom.
