Episode 7711 (10th October 2011)

Plot
Carla reels as DC Malone reveals that Frank won his appeal for bail. Back at home, Frank celebrates with his solicitor, insisting that his priority will now be his business as he refuses to let Carla ruin him. Later, Carla's jolted by a knock at the door but it's Stella asking how she's coping. At first Carla's hostile, but when Stella admits that she knows what Carla's going through as she was raped herself, she opens up. After their chat, Carla finds the strength to get her face on and return to work, but when she finds Anne - Frank's mother - in the office she's horrified. Meanwhile, Steve's awkward as he endures a family meal at the Bistro with the Barlows. As they quiz him about his intentions to Tracy, he confirms that they are together but it's clear he's still uncomfortable with the arrangement. Elsewhere, Eileen's dreams come true when Paul calls at her house and their date goes ahead after all, while Chris spies an opportunity to ruin Lloyd and Cheryl's holiday plans by speaking to Brian about his fears that Russ's education will suffer.
