Episode 6753 (15th February 2008)

Plot
Alex arrives on the street at the crack of dawn to see Michelle, and tells an intrigued Norris that Michelle is his mum. However he's upset when he sees her and Ryan looking closer than ever and leaves feeling lonely and rejected. Meanwhile, Norris has made sure the entire street knows that Ryan isn't Michelle's real son while Michelle's panicked when she receives a call from Nick telling her Alex is missing. Nick gives up searching for his son, claiming he's done this before and he's losing patience. But when Alex arrives in the pub later escorted by a police officer claiming that he lives with her at the Rovers, Michelle's shocked.

Jack is feeling suffocated by Rita and Emily and goes into the betting shop to hide from them. Realising that the last time he placed a bet was the day Vera died and he hasn't checked if it was a winner or not. As Dan starts to look up the records - Jack's over the moon to discover that every horse he bet on came in and he's owed £3000! As he frantically searches for the betting slip so he can pick up his winnings he's horrified to learn that Vera took the ticket and put it somewhere safe, but its nowhere to be seen. However, Dan's made it quite clear – no ticket, no money.

Elsewhere, Steve gives in to Liz's endless pleas to redecorate the Rovers and put her own stamp on it. Also, Roy leaves for Africa, but after Becky arrives with all her possessions he seems more nervous about her moving into the flat.
