Episode 5185 (31st December 2001)

Plot
Eve takes over the Rovers from Duggie (although not officially as they have to change the licence over). Geena and Shelley are both upset that they didn't get the Rovers and are also worried about their jobs. Duggie offers Shelley an extra £50 per week to come and work for him at the Rugby Club which she accepts. Peter isn't happy about it. Les is really excited about Leanne coming to stay. Bobbi feels that Vik is starting to take her for granted. Matt tells Maxine that he doesn't think he can keep up this act that everything is okay. Leanne phones and says that won't be coming after all. Les is distraught. Janice pops in to see Leanne and finds Les very upset. Les tells her again that he wants her back. She explains to him that she and Dennis are moving to Sheffield and tells him she wants a divorce.
