Episode 6452 (20th December 2006)

Plot
After the scene in the Rovers with Viv, Jamie and Frankie are the talk of the street. As if the constant taunts aren’t bad enough, the situation worsens when the police arrive at the Café to question Frankie. Frankie has to confess that she is having a sexual relationship with her step son and that Danny was devastated about it.

With everyone else accusing Jamie of Danny’s murder, Frankie begins to doubt him as well. She confronts Jamie and demands that he tell her everything about that night. Shocked and appalled at Frankie’s distrust of him, Jamie storms out.

Meanwhile, an amused Eileen teases Steve as he makes preparations for his date with Michelle. He’s bought a new shirt, and decides he needs a hair cut too!

Elsewhere, Claire still believing that Charlie is violent, is still worrying about Tracy and Amy’s safety and invites them over for Christmas tea. When devious Tracy sees Gail and Claire sharing their concerns about her she decides to use the opportunity to make them even more anxious by telling Claire that Charlie won’t let her go to tea.

Over at the Duckworth’s, Sophie is merely relaying a few stories from the diary from the attic, but Vera is convinced that Sophie has ‘psychic powers’!

Also, Gail boasts that David is a different kid since she gave him the car.
