Episode 2910 (15th February 1989)

Plot
Sandra Stubbs refuses to let Jason out of her sight. Gail wants Nicky to have a father but doesn't want Brian. She wishes she'd never married him again. The stone-cladders start work on No.9. Sandra accuses Ken of reporting Jason to the police and rows with him in the Rovers. Brian tells Don that Gail wants a divorce. He refuses to give Nicky up. Gail tells Brian she knew when they married again that it would never work. Brian tells her to get out if she wants to go; he's not letting her take Nicky away from him - she's a rotten mother and a hard, selfish bitch. Sandra apologises to Ken for rowing with him. The authorities say Jason can't be left on his own. Brian leaves a disco with a girl. She is bothered by youths, he tries to help her and is stabbed. They run off as Brian dies on the ground.

Notable dialogue
Gail Tilsley: (to Brian Tilsley) "I married too young. Grew up afterwards. What was so wrong with me having an identity of my own? You couldn't cope with that. You're like summat from the dark ages. Women should stay in their place, they're all right in the kitchen, in the bedroom and that's about it."

Gail Tilsley: "All I wanted was a 'ome and 'usband and kids. I knew what I didn't want. To end up like me mam."
