Episode 6931 (22nd October 2008)

Plot
Rosie has convinced herself that John will release her today and she is furious when he arrives in the attic with food and magazines, clearly not intending to set her free any time soon. She hurls abuse and books at him as she tries to explain that he hasn’t had time to talk to Fiz because she is caught up with looking after Maria. Rosie takes in the shocking news of Liam’s death – her own predicament momentarily forgotten.

Maria’s parents have arrived from Cyprus but she can’t stop herself from having a go at them for not even coming to her wedding. The Connors discover that Liam’s body is being released on Friday so the funeral can be arranged.

Meanwhile, Tony is getting increasingly irritated by Carla’s grief and is finding it hard not to show his anger. He manages to cover up his true feelings however and is the picture of compassion as he offers Maria his help with the funeral arrangements.

Dev arranges a date with Tara but when Nina finds out about it she storms round to the shop and demands he cancel. Faced with no option, he reluctantly calls Tara and tells her the evening is off. Amber, meanwhile, is making progress with her relationship with Darryl.

Pam shares out the pot from the sale of the latest dodgy batch of merchandise and Tyrone is delighted to discover he has enough to put a deposit down on a wedding dress for Molly.

Elsewhere, Blanche persuades Deirdre to accompany her on the free holiday to France and Fiz books a surprise holiday for herself and John.
