Episode 6785 (31st March 2008)

Plot
Paul and Leanne are both nervous about setting fire to the restaurant, but the thought of a future with Leanne is pushing Paul to want to go through with it. Once he’s alone, he psyches himself up and lights a burner under a frying pan full of oil. As the pan bursts into flames and fire starts to spread, Paul hurries out and calls Leanne to tell her it's done. Meanwhile, Amber has come back after forgetting her phone and tells Paul that Leanne's just using him. Paul's quietly confident as he reassures Amber that he and Leanne are going places.

In the Platts’, David is nervous as Gail wills herself to remember what happened when she fell. When Jason arrives in a bid to make her realise he had nothing to do with it, Gail suddenly gets a flashback. Panicked David watches on as Jason runs through his version of events with Gail and they agree they were downstairs arguing so Jason can’t have pushed her down the stairs. Gail’s delighted at her breakthrough and hopes the rest will come back soon while Tina and David try to hide their terror at the prospect.

In the pub, Steve and Michelle are disappointed when they decide to take a mini-break with Amy and Ryan but Ryan reveals he doesn't want to go.

Elsewhere, the café is once again busy with builders but Ken can’t help but notice the tension between Becky and Roy. In an attempt to help, he suggests to Becky that she engage Roy in some of his hobbies, but Becky’s less than impressed when Roy suggests they try a game of scrabble.

Everyone is thankful to Harry when he rescues Amy from being run over by a builders van on the street.
