Episode 6697 (30th November 2007)

Plot
Steve has managed to keep the news about Jim’s release a secret from Liz and nervously makes his way to the prison to collect his dad. Jim seems a lot calmer and when Steve carefully broaches the subject of Liz’s wedding plans, he claims he’s happy for her and knows he blew his chance with her years ago. Jim assures his son that his days of causing trouble are over.

Liam’s getting increasingly wound up about Carla and Tony's relationship and claims he's not happy about doing business with a man Carla's sleeping with. However, when Carla tells him it doesn't affect the business and he has no right to comment on her relationship, he decides to find out more about Tony.

In a meeting with the couple, Liam spots Tony's home address on some papers and quickly taps it into his PDA. Meanwhile, he and Maria agree that no matter what they decide to do about the baby they don't want to split up.

Yesterday, Ryan noticed a car waiting outside school and is unnerved when he notices the same car waiting outside the gates today.

Elsewhere, Rosie is furious when she receives a C for her essay. John tries to play the caring teacher and tells her essay got the mark it deserved and he's worried she's not applying herself to her studies. Rosie knows that she can manipulate John and after she warns him that she can't carry on seeing him if it means her grades are going to suffer, he eventually relents and changes her mark to an A.

When Sally reads Rosie’s ‘A grade’ essay and notices it’s inferior to her own 'C grade' paper, she confronts John who claims that he marked Rosie up because he wanted to encourage her to stay on at school, plus Sally's intellectually superior so he marked her stricter.

Also, Rita tricks Norris into believing that Doreen is going to choose George.
