Plot
The factory girls haven't been paid, and Carla's forced to admit that she has cash flow problems. She urges them to get on with the Dunbar order, but when the staff complain, Carla snaps and fires them. News spreads fast and over at Frank's factory, he asks Sally to meet with the machinists and offer them jobs. At the same time, Michelle and Ciaran arrive back on the street for a visit to break news of their engagement, and they're stunned to discover the mess Carla's in. As she opens up to Michelle about what she's been through, Carla insists that she needs to be free of Frank and she can only see one way out - to drop the charges! Meanwhile, Chesney's in turmoil and when he hears that Rosie's done an interview about John, he explodes. Witnessing his outburst, Owen tries to give Ches some advice. Elsewhere, Faye is thrilled to learn that her adoption has gone through but soon receives a shock when she sees Anna canoodling with Owen, while Sophie and Sian buy engagement rings but Amber pulls Sophie to one side and asks if she's sure about this.
