Episode 6450 (18th December 2006)

Plot
Danny’s mum Viv arrives on the scene to get to the bottom of her son’s mysterious disappearance. She is shocked that Frankie has not informed the police and insists on going to the station. However, Jamie and Frankie are shocked when the police mention that they have found a man’s body in the canal which fits Danny’s description. As Frankie waits to identify a body, the Baldwins fear that their worst nightmare could become a reality.

Elsewhere a hung-over Les is feeling sorry for himself, moaning about how he is going to cope without Cilla. Feeling incensed that Les can only think about himself (even though she’s not actually ill!) she asks him to make her dream come true in her last few months - swimming with dolphins in Florida! Les immediately starts to think of ways to raise the money.

Also Ashley and Claire try to think of a kind way to tell Bev that she’s outstayed her welcome and Gail gives David with an early Christmas present - a second hand car.

Vernon asks Michelle to come and sing for his band, but the gig coincides with her long awaited date with Steve.
