Template:10 April

10th April 2005: After getting hitched at the registry office, Ken and Deirdre Barlow led the wedding party back to the Rovers for the reception. The wedding inspired mixed feelings from the various guests; Tracy Barlow continued to goad Steve McDonald and his new girlfriend Louise Hazell out of jealousy, causing Louise to warn her off, and Ray Langton wished the newlyweds well but was quietly regretful about leaving his family in 1978, while Ray and Mike Baldwin made sure they got in a couple of digs at Ken. After being nasty to Ray all day, Tracy finally softened and they had a dance together. A few minutes later, Ray had a heart attack and died, bringing the party to a sad end and resulting in a rare moment of altruism from Tracy as she embraced her dead father.
