Episode 7080 (20th May 2009)

Plot
As the doctor arrives and reveals that Colin has died of a heart attack, Julie rushes home. Seeing the police leave, she senses something is wrong and is devastated to hear that her father is dead.

Julie sobs hysterically over Colin's body but Eileen urges her to get a grip as she goes to break the news to Jason. Eileen appears cold as she battles to hold it together in front of her family, but when she opens Colin's wallet and finds a photo of him with her when she was a little girl, she finally breaks down.

Elsewhere, Norris is furious to find Ramsay holding court in the Rovers with Emily, Ken, Deirdre and Blanche. He storms out as Rita receives the shocking news that Colin has died. She retreats as she battles her emotions.

Chesney confronts his sister about her hospital visit but Fiz maintains that she was accompanying Maria to an appointment. Chesney, however, is suspicious and begins to worry that she may be ill.

And returning from a good date with Luke, Michelle is surprised to get a call from JD asking her to go on tour with the band. It's something she's always wanted to do but she's quick to turn him down for Ryan's sake.
