Episode 7067 (1st May 2009)

Plot
Ken is a man in love. Having persuaded Martha to give him another chance, he has little regard for Deirdre and as Martha reminds him that they should savour life till the end, he knows he has a big decision to make. Martha tells him that she's leaving Manchester at 4pm and if he wants to be with her then he should tell Deirdre and be on the barge by then.

He returns home from his 'walk' to a full house and as he observes Peter, Simon, Deirdre and Michelle enjoying a game of hangman, Ken is torn between his duty and his dreams.

Paula pays Eileen a visit, adamant that she'll not take the blame for what happened. Eileen apologises for what she said in the Rovers and listens as Paula reveals how it all began. It's then Paula's turn to listen as Eileen explains how the whole situation has reawakened raw childhood memories of her relationship with her mother. But Eileen knows that she has to tackle the situation with her father.

When he arrives at the house in an attempt to reconcile, Eileen tells him how she really feels. As Colin listens on, it soon becomes clear that he's not a well man when he collapses.

Jason and Sean return to the house to find paramedics wheeling Colin out on a stretcher and Eileen in a daze.

Elsewhere, Becky and Amy's relationship goes from strength to strength when Becky steps in to stop the bullying.
