Episode 6478 (26th January 2007)

Plot
Tracy paints on her face as she attends Charlie’s funeral with armed guards in tow. A few of his mates are there to give her the evil eye and it’s a peculiar service as Jason tries to speak about a man he realises he barely knew. As the coffin slides away, Maria runs from the crematorium blaming Tracy for his death. David follows her and leads her back to the street, clearly besotted, and when she tells him it’s time she moved on, David misreads the signals and leans in for a kiss. Maria's appalled and leaves calling him a freak. David's utterly humiliated.

Meanwhile, the Battersbys are missing Chesney but Cilla’s armour is back on as she claims she’s glad of the rest.

Elsewhere, Steve bites the bullet and asks Michelle out on a date only to find she’s already got something planned with Sonny.

Kelly is convinced Liam will soon be hers but Joanne’s not quite so sure.

And Carla is less than impressed when Paul stands her up on their anniversary in favour of a business meeting.
