Plot
Joyce apologises to the Malletts for misleading them and admits she's hopeless with money. Liz tells Andy he had no right to tell Jim about Fraser. Ken goes to the County Court with his solicitor, Margaret Dunbar, to meet with Denise and the Court Welfare Officer to see if they can arrange custody without going to court. Ken says that he feels Daniel should live with him as Denise abandoned him. Deirdre tells Alec there's £35 missing from the petty cash. Denise tells the Officer that everything she's done has been for Daniel's benefit. Ken is outraged when she says that it was always agreed that she would claim Daniel back once she'd got herself sorted. The meeting ends in a row between Ken and Denise so the Officer tells them there'll have to be a full court hearing. Liz visits Steve and asks him to help put Fraser off. Steve stops her by saying that Fraser has made his life easier for him in prison. He urges her to meet with Fraser so she can see he's really a nice guy. Liz is stunned to discover Fraser has already put her name on his visiting order. Andy gets upset when Anne tells him Liz attracts trouble by the way she dresses. Deirdre is stunned when Ken tells her he told the court about their relationship to show he can provide Daniel with a stable home life. Bill tells Maureen that Elaine is bringing Carl over to England for Christmas and wants to see him. Maureen tells him he must see Carl but he tells her he can't as they'll be in Spain. Vera tells Alec she doesn't want him behind the bar anymore, saying there's money missing from the till. He is affronted and tells her he'll never set foot in the Rovers again.
