Plot
Gail has been taken into the Rovers' back room where Eileen breaks the news to her. From his van, Phelan rings the bank and finds that the account has been cleaned out by Vinny. He screams in pure rage that he's been conned. Andy voices his suspicions that Phelan was involved in Michael's death, annoying Eileen. Roy’s furious when, after reading a draft of his wedding speech, Brian points out the lack of feeling in it. Brian wonders if Roy actually loves Cathy. Anna and Gary arrive home and a passing Eileen breaks the news of Michael's death. Clearly ruffled, Roy sacks Michelle as his wedding planner, preferring to take charge of the event himself. Tracy tries to find out more about Daniel but he remains unforthcoming. Subject to getting his licence, Peter is taken on by Street Cars. Anna blames herself for Michael's death but Gary warns her to stay out of the matter. She insists on telling the police though. Gemma returns from the awards ceremony with her trophy and a face like thunder as Peter Andre had cancelled his appearance. Peter questions Daniel on his home life and finances, but he insists he's only here to look after his dad. A delighted Simon returns from meeting Daisy, who Tracy has heard through Amy is really hot. Eileen wonders why Michael was at the building site. Todd denies knowing anything. Phelan goes to the airport but realising that aside from his fake passport, he only has £5 in his wallet, he is unable to take his flight to Cancun. Nick and David return from identifying Michael's body. Gail is heartbroken. Anna and Gary tell the police what they know about Phelan. Anna is distraught when her suspicions aren't taken seriously and makes threats against Phelan. Roy insists to Cathy that's he's happy now that he's in charge. Phelan returns home with a cover story and professes surprise at the news. Todd isn't convinced of his innocence. Daniel parries more questions from Peter, going out to avoid him. Phelan breaks the news to Todd that they've lost all their money. Todd doesn't believe him but Michael insists that he's in the dark as much as him. Todd is frantic with worry as to what happens next.
