Episode 6958 (1st December 2008)

Plot
Carla is full of mystery as she tells Tony to wait in the office while she goes shopping with Leanne as she has arranged a surprise for him. Tony is less than impressed when the surprise turns out to be his brother Pat, who Carla has invited to the wedding.

Tony pretends to be delighted by his presence, but knows he has to keep Pat away from Maria, as she still believes Liam was Tony's best man because he had fallen out with his brother!

There's more hassle for Tony when Jed starts to make life difficult for him by demanding more money for the house he evicted him from. Later, Jed fills an interested Kevin and Sally in on his dealings with Tony.

Meanwhile, Steve is desperate to get away and spend some time with Becky but Michelle wants him to organise some farewell drinks for her parents. He manages to grab a few minutes in the car with Becky and tells her that project Bad Boyfriend is working - he's starting to get on Michelle's nerves. But when Michelle's dad jokes about Steve proposing to Michelle, Becky is less than impressed and tells Steve that she doesn't want to be his bit on the side.

Elsewhere, Norris finally wins a competition but still isn't happy and Peter invites Leanne out for a drink.
