Episode 5409 (30th December 2002)

Plot
Deirdre is mortified that Tracy is going out with Dev whom she's already slept with herself. She tries to persuade them to stop seeing each other but they refuse. Tracy accuses her of fancying Dev herself. Steve tries to borrow some money from the bank to save the business but is refused. Karen offers to work at Street Cars at night in order to help. Audrey and Gail aren't speaking to each other. Audrey is still very upset worrying about her daughter living with a murderer. Toyah and John Arnley arrive back from Bordeaux. They had a wonderful time and Toyah is more in love than ever before. Roy finally arrives back from Paxos. Hayley is delighted. Roy is rather bemused to find that Hayley has employed Ciaran whilst he's been away and furthermore, that Ciaran is living with them. Candice finds out that Sarah is giving food to Aiden. Sarah explains that she feels guilty because Ade said that accident was as much her fault as his. Candice can't believe she's hearing this. Ken can't understand why Deirdre is so vehement in her disapproval of Tracy seeing Dev.
