Episode 6805 (28th April 2008)

Plot
It's the morning after the night before for Liam. He's horrified when he wakes up on Carla's sofa with a thick head. Knowing Maria will be furious he leaves immediately but Carla is more than a little smug knowing the trouble he will be in.

Meanwhile Maria is indeed furious, especially when she hears from Claire that Carla sent Liam's cab away. She leaves Liam to recover from his hangover and heads out to work. A busy day at the salon is just the distraction she needs from her concerns about Liam and Carla. Marcus pops in for a trim; he can tell she is tired and assumes it is the baby keeping her awake. Maria puts him straight, Liam is the one causing her problems, the baby has been quiet for days. Marcus is amused by Liam's behaviour but can't help but be concerned about Maria's baby not moving. He insists she pay a visit to the hospital and she agrees just to keep him quiet. Refusing to take a hungover Liam with her she asks Marcus to go instead, convinced nothing is wrong. However events take a devastating turn when first the midwife and then the sonographer fail to find a heartbeat...

Over at the cafe Roy is also furious with Becky who stayed out all night and didn't tell him she wasn't coming home. She apologises but he is less than impressed to discover she spent the night with Jason.

Jack is feeling the stress of Paul's confession over the arson and Molly and Tyrone are concerned about his health. Meanwhile the repercussions of Paul's visit to the police are felt over at the bookies when Leanne and Dan are taken away for questioning.

Elsewhere Audrey tells Rita that she is meeting Ted and she worries how he will react when he finds out he has a daughter.
