Storylines

January

• Cassie Plummer goads Tracy McDonald into slapping her and Ken Barlow forces his daughter to apologise. Tracy asks Steve McDonald to stay on at No.1 to keep an eye on Cassie. Tracy and Tommy Orpington plan to move back to the UK and live in a posh apartment in Cheshire.
• Daisy Midgeley finds it hard to see Daniel Osbourne and Bethany Platt so happy together. Bethany obtains her dream job at a London magazine and is put out when Daniel assumes that she will turn it down to be with him. She is further angered when Daisy helps Daniel obtain a cake for Bertie Osbourne's 6th birthday party. At the event, the two women tussle over cutting the cake. Daisy falls and sprains her ankle. Daniel takes her to hospital where Kit Green is also present on another matter and the two men overhear a nurse talking to Daisy about her pregnancy. Also at the party, Bertie sees Cassie dosing Ken’s drink and she swears him to secrecy but the little boy soon tells Daisy who, in turn, informs Daniel. He confronts Cassie but she has overheard Daniel and Daisy talking about the baby and all but blackmails them into keeping silent. Without knowing for sure, Daisy tells Kit he’s the father and is hurt when he shows total indifference. Daniel is sure that the baby is his, and Daisy agrees to a DNA test. When Bethany announces that she and Daniel have set a wedding date, Daisy sees red at his seeming betrayal and announces her pregnancy in the Rovers, saying that she doesn’t know if Kit or Daniel is the father. A distraught Bethany breaks off the engagement, but still plans to move to London. Soon after, Daisy is doubled up with stomach pains and is taken back to hospital. Kit apologises for his previous attitude and joins her and Jenny Connor for the scan which shows there are no problems, but when he subsequently fails to join her for a prenatal appointment, Daisy loses faith in him and decides to keep the DNA results to herself.
• Evelyn Plummer passes her university entrance interview to read law. Unable to gain any peace at No.9 to study for her induction, she moves into the university's halls of residence.

A murder traumatises the community.

• With Tim Metcalfe’s help, Mason Radcliffe cooks a romantic meal for Betsy Swain as a date. Stu Carpenter offers him a job in Germany. Mason becomes aware that his brothers played a part in the death of Becky Swain and finds evidence at their flat to help prove their involvement. They are arrested before they can carry out their plan and assault David Platt. Betsy drops Mason as he had a link in Becky’s death. Knowing that he’s now a marked man, Mason decides to take up Stu’s job offer but before he can leave Matty and Logan Radcliffe are released due to supposed lack of evidence and assault their brother, stabbing him with a knife that Dylan Wilson is carrying for protection. Abi Webster finds Mason bleeding and badly wounded in the precinct and calls an ambulance which is delayed due to it being sent to a hoax call. Mason dies in hospital. Matty is arrested after several days on the run when Shona Platt spots him in the Freshco car park, but Logan runs off and evades the police. Tim and Sally Metcalfe help organise his funeral. Alya Nazir struggles with her conscience when she finds herself working as a junior on Matty’s defence.
• Witnessing Mason's death traumatises Abi who is reminded of Seb Franklin's death. She panics when Alfie Franklin goes missing and explodes with anger at Toyah Habeeb who finds the missing boy. She starts to have visions of Seb but hides her condition from anyone, only confiding in Roy Cropper that she is experiencing flashbacks of Mason’s last moments. Toyah overhears Roy sharing his concerns with Kevin Webster and angers Abi when she suggests that she sees a grief counsellor. Kevin discovers a testicular lump and takes steps to have it checked. Abi seems distant from the news, but Kevin doesn’t fully realise the extent of her breakdown. Abi plans to join Kevin for his ultrasound but suffers a vision of herself with Seb’s dying body and flees home, leaving a crying Alfie in the car. The child is found by Nick Tilsley and Toyah who summon Debbie Webster. A social worker visits Abi, worried that she might be falling off the wagon. Abi is livid that Debbie reported her, not realising it was Toyah who made the call.
• Overhearing gossip that the hoax call prevented Mason being attended to in a timely manner, Joseph Brown hands himself in at the police station for being the one behind it. Chesney Winter-Brown quickly realises that it was Hope Dobbs who pushed his son into it as part of a set of pranks that she was carrying out and confronts Fiz and Tyrone Dobbs about their daughter's behaviour. Joseph is given a youth caution, and he and Hope are made to apologise to Abi for the trauma they inflicted on her. Bernie Winter tries to speak up for her grandson but is given short shrift by Asha Alahan who was one of the paramedics on the call. Bernie and Dev Alahan fall out when he takes his daughter's side in the argument. They make up and Bernie is delighted when Dev proposes to her.
• Betsy is distraught that she never made peace with Mason. She admits to Lisa Swain about her part in the Radcliffe brothers’ robbery at Underworld and is turned in by her. No charges are pressed.
• Dylan is filled with remorse that it was his knife which was used to kill Mason. He confesses everything to Sean Tully and demands money from him so he can get away from the area. Instead, Sean informs the police, and he is taken in and questioned. He takes on Adam Barlow as his solicitor and faces a barrage of vitriol from Abi when she finds out about his involvement in the death. He drinks heavily and is found passed out by Liam Connor. CCTV footage shows Matty and Logan with the knife, so Dylan is only charged with carrying a bladed article.
• Carla Connor is hospitalised after suffering hallucinations and is diagnosed with sepsis which damages her one remaining kidney. Bobby Crawford contacts his father Rob Donovan and visits him in prison, telling him about his sister's dire need. Initially refusing to consider donating one of his kidneys, he asks his son to see him again and this time stages a hostage situation in the visiting room with a pressured Matty taking prison officer Mandy Waring at knifepoint and then swapping her for Bobby as his hostage. Using his supposed newly found religious feelings and invoking God’s name, Rob “talks” Matty into giving up, making himself look a hero. Carla doesn’t trust her brother’s conversion but nevertheless investigates about having one of his kidneys. She discovers she will have to go private at a price of £100,000 due to the cost to the taxpayer for keeping a prisoner in hospital. She tells a shocked Jenny and Daisy she needs the money they stole from her and Jenny thinks they’ll have to sell the Rovers. Betsy offers Carla her inheritance from Becky which will cover half of the cost.
• David is unnerved when an unknown man hands Lily Platt a note from Harvey Gaskell demanding £10,000 interest on the stolen money. Soon afterwards, the gangster arranges for David the dog to be run over and injured. Shona and David worry about the high vet bills and their own safety, unable to be fully honest with the police about the reasons behind their danger. After Shona is temporarily kidnapped and a shot is fired through No.8’s window, an unnerved David makes a joke that they ought to burn the house down and claim on the insurance. The family hides at Sarah Platt’s flat. David contacts his old jail mate Andy Garland, asking him for a favour.
• Chesney receives a cheque for £20,000 for Les Battersby-Brown’s compensation and is able to pay off his and Gemma Winter-Brown’s debts. A planned holiday to Alicante has to be cancelled when he is charged with putting sugar in the van driver’s tank and has to pay £5,000 compensation for repairs, but manages to find a cheap caravan holiday for the family. Leanne Battersby gives Amy Barlow a substantial portion of her share of the compensation to make up for the money she lost to the Altovalent Institute.
• Lauren Bolton ’s trial takes place. Brie Benson, another prisoner, goads Lauren into threatening her on the eve of her own release, and then attends court with her arm in sling claiming from the public gallery that Lauren attacked her. Although the judge orders the jury not to take the matter into account, it creates a bad impression. Dee-Dee Bailey investigates and finds out that Gus Deering paid for Brie to stay in a flat he owns. She informs the court, making an impassioned speech about it being the latest in a series of events in Lauren’s life where she has been badly used by people. Frankie Bolton develops an infection and is hospitalised. The judge allows Lauren to be absent from the trial and be with him. By a majority verdict, Lauren is found not guilty. Gus is furious, though Anthea Deering begs Lauren for forgiveness.
• Daniel tells Ken what Bertie saw but Cassie tells Ken she has a drink problem, and she cons him into funding some private therapy. She then uses Ken’s credit card to buy an expensive present for Tracy which he naturally doesn’t remember ordering, and the family accuse her of stealing. She then appears to be vindicated once the gift is delivered. Ken asks her to move in and be his live-in carer, making it clear to the family that it’s non-negotiable.
• Leanne continues to simmer with anger over Nick and Toyah. She finds an unusual soulmate in Tracy and the two women enjoy the most expensive meal at the Viaduct Bistro without paying. Leanne returns alone again the next day, almost causing a fight with Debbie when she makes a play for Ronnie Bailey. A disapproving Sam Blakeman witnesses the incident. Finding out that Nick and Toyah are booking a holiday, Leanne puts their passports in the toaster, almost causing a fire in their flat. Remorseful, she sells her share of the bistro to Nick and Toyah. She is given community service for her deception and gets drunk after a difficult first day, insulting Sam. Only Steve shows her any solace, and the two end up in bed but mutually agree to have no regrets afterwards and get drunk in the Rovers together.
• Amy goes to a 21st birthday party at a club in Wilmslow where she is thrown to discover that Aaron Sandford is present for his stag night and that he is to be a father. She flees the scene and texts Steve to come and help her, but he is in bed with Leanne and misses her calls as her phone dies off.

February

• Steve and Tracy are alarmed when they see the missing texts and calls from Amy and are relieved when their daughter makes it home on foot from Wilmslow. Steve lies that he missed the calls as he had an early night and doesn’t mention that he was with Leanne. Amy opens up to her parents about how upset she was at Aaron's seemingly perfect life. Tracy accidentally interrupts Aadi Alahan when he is about to tell Amy what she means to him.
• Bethany leaves for London after Sarah prevents Daniel from trying to make things up with her.
• Mason’s funeral takes place.

No.8 is torched.

• Abi finds out from Sam that it was Toyah who reported her. Sarah holds a birthday party in the bistro, but David is missing. Hope, Lily and their friends try to livestream a seance from No.8. Toyah finds Harry Platt watching it on a laptop and runs over to throw the youngsters out of the house, being met by a barrage of abuse from a drunk Leanne on the way. Abi follows Toyah into No.8 to confront her, but another vision of Seb causes her to lash out and she knocks Toyah to the floor, leaving her unconscious. Soon afterwards, someone lights an accelerant through the house's letterbox. Sally calls the emergency services. Before they arrive, Nick, Sarah and Max Turner enter and rescue Toyah but David, newly returned from his mysterious mission, and Shona are aghast to find out that although the others are safely out, Max is still inside the inferno. A fireman rescues him. He recovers from smoke inhalation in hospital while the family move into Sarah's flat.
• Abi tries to flee with Alfie, but Roy persuades her to return. Toyah recovers after an operation and is able to tell the police about Abi's attack on her. She's arrested and also questioned about the fire. The garage’s CCTV footage shows a figure in a hoodie searching around for a jerry can and Kevin hands it over to the police, pointing out that Abi already knows where everything is stored there. The police release her. She tells Kevin and Debbie about the hallucinations she has been suffering. Kevin informs Toyah and persuades her to drop the charges. Dr Gaddas puts her on a therapy waiting list. Kevin is diagnosed with cancer and has a testicle removed. His family gather round him in support, but Abi suffers her worst flashback yet at the hospital. Debbie pays for her to have private therapy. There, Abi bumps into Roy who tells her that he is also having counselling to come to terms with his false imprisonment. He galvanises her into being positive about her own therapy and support Kevin’s recovery. A scan shows that the cancer has spread to his lymph nodes, and he needs chemotherapy. Unable to contain his anger at the news, he falls out with Tim and grows suspicious when he sees Abi laughing and joking with Ronnie.
• David feels remorseful that it was his theft of Damon Hay’s money that triggered the sequence of events. He finds Logan breaking into the undertakers, making a visit to his brother’s coffin. David tries to entrap him with a confession recorded on his phone but has to fight the lad off when he spots the device. Todd Grimshaw, Sarah and a policeman make a timely arrival, and Logan is taken into custody.  Both Shona and Sarah suspect David of insurance fraud and he is forced to confess to his wife that at the time the fire started he was working as a getaway driver with Andy on a warehouse robbery to help pay Harvey back. Nick reports his brother for arson, but he is released when the CCTV footage is produced, however Shona recognises the hoodie as belonging to Max who admits he started the fire to help David with an insurance claim. She and David try to retrieve the item from a bin on Brewery Lane, but the police get to it first and find Max’s DNA. The lad goes into hiding while David tries to arrange for him to flee to Belize and live with Becky McDonald. Shona persuades him to hand himself in, realising that he can’t go on the run for the rest of his life. He is sent to Highfield Prison where he is a sitting duck for Harvey. David asks the authorities to move him elsewhere and arrangements are made to transfer him to Scotland. Max is unhappy about being separated from his loved ones and tells David he wishes he’d never tried to help him.
• Leanne tells Steve she was visiting Oliver Battersby's grave at the time the fire started but he finds out from Tim that he took her to the church many hours before. Tracy discovers Steve was with Leanne when Amy was stranded in Wilmslow and erupts at the pair in the Rovers. Leanne is taken in for questioning when Tracy reports her. After Max is charged, she is released and announces to the gossips in the Rovers that she was not the arsonist. Yasmeen Metcalfe takes her in hand and tells her to pick herself up. Given food for thought, Leanne tells Sam she's done with being angry and messing up.
• Rob is annoyed to discover that his donor tests can be carried out in the prison rather than hospital. He has charmed Mandy into falling in love with him and they arrange for Rob to take antibiotics that he is allergic to and get him hospitalised, from where Mandy will connive at his escape. Lisa realises what they are up to and prevents them, though she offers Rob a deal that she will get his conviction overturned if he agrees to become Carla’s donor. She lies to Rob that she can plant evidence on his file which will get his case overturned. Agreeing, the transplant takes place, only for Lisa to reveal to Rob that she has no intention of assisting him. Rob gets Mandy to kidnap a weakened Carla from her private hospital and take her to a hideout in an abandoned office while he forces Lisa to drive him to the same place. She tries to alert Kit on her phone and is battered unconscious when Rob sees what she is up to. Carla discovers that Mandy is pregnant by Rob, and she provokes her brother into expressing callous disregard at the news, causing Mandy to abandon him. He tries to flee with Carla, but she summons up the strength to push him over a stairwell rail, knocking him unconscious. Lisa is certain that he is dead and summons help, taking Carla back to hospital where she is diagnosed with an infection which could lead to the kidney being rejected and is put on antibiotics. During the interim, Rob comes to and escapes, contacting Bobby for help. Ryan Connor notices his shifty behaviour and prevents him meeting his father to supply him with cash. He also tips the police off as to where he can be found but Rob evades capture. Carla disowns Bobby for helping Rob but allows him to retain his job at the factory. Kit finds details of the deal Lisa was making with Rob on Mandy’s burner phone and tells their boss who questions her. She claims she said it under duress.
• Gemma makes friends with spiky Lou Michaelis, who with her husband Mick, is going to move into Mawdsley Street. Chesney helps Mick with the move while the girls enjoy themselves drinking.

He confronts her and throws her out after she confesses, but suffers a heart attack immediately afterwards. From his hospital bed, he tells his family what happened, and Tracy gets Cassie arrested after attacking her. Tyrone and Fiz throw her out of the house. An outraged Hope sticks up for her gran.
• Todd Grimshaw bumps into Julie Carp at the Chariot Square Hotel when he is there on a singles night. Julie tries to return to her home in Wales without seeing Eileen Grimshaw, and Todd pushes her into admitting to him that she has terminal cancer and was in Weatherfield to see a palliative care specialist. She doesn’t want her sister to see her dying. She admits that she has been cleaned out by private therapy costs and without telling his mother what is going on, he and George persuade Eileen to offer her a room.
• Alarmed by Daisy’s plan to leave Weatherfield, Jenny tells Daniel that the baby is his. He is delighted and makes plans to use the money from Denise Osbourne’s house to pay off the Rovers’ debt to Carla. Daisy admonishes Jenny for jumping to a conclusion, confessing that the DNA test showed that Kit is the father. Such is Daniel's enthusiasm at being a father again that she cannot bring him to tell the truth. Kit realises with surprise how upset he is that the child isn’t his. Daisy makes Daniel agree that their names alone should be on the deeds of the pub, angering Jenny who sees the loss of something that means so much to her.
• Dylan is sentenced to six months at Greenford Secure Training Centre, where he tries to keep his head down to avoid trouble. One of the lads, Brody, seems to befriend him but Dylan remains wary of his motivations. Sean is devastated by his son's imprisonment.
• David agrees to do another job with Andy. A suspicious Nick prevents him driving there, but David persuades Andy to give him another chance, unaware that Harvey is controlling Andy’s actions.

March

• Jenny is bitter when Daisy forgets her birthday and hands her a legal agreement to sign. She gets drunk and drops a hint to Kit that he is the baby’s father. He, in turn, advises Daniel to make sure that Daisy is being truthful to him. When confronted by Daniel, Daisy is finally truthful with him.
• After pleading guilty, Max is sentenced to 6 and 1/2 years in jail and moved to a prison in County Durham for his own protection, however Harvey texts David to tell him he also has contacts there awaiting his son. Max is placed in isolation upon his arrival. Harvey pushes Andy into attempting to kill David, but his intended victim talks him out of it. Seeing the three lads who assaulted him talking to Lily, David realises that the net has closed in. He asks Andy to kill him in a hit and run accident on Rosamund Street in order that his family are able to pass on his life insurance on to Harvey. David prepares for his last day, writing out a note explaining his motivations and fortifying himself with alcohol. When the hit takes place, Daisy accidentally gets in the way as she flees the confrontation with Daniel in the pub about him not being the baby’s father, and both she and David are knocked down. Both require surgery but Daisy loses the baby. Daniel supports her and still seeing a future for the two of them, he still passes on his house proceeds.
• Sarah finds David’s note and she and Nick confront their brother when he comes round. Shona is present when Kit questions David and she puts two and two together. Wanting to put an end to the matter, she begs Daisy for the £40,000 they need for Harvey and then threatens to blackmail her and Daniel for the hit and run in Debbie’s car three months before if they don’t pay up. Sick of the endless lies and deceit, Daisy agrees. David feels intensely guilty when he finds out and tells Daisy the truth about the so-called accident. Shona begs Daisy not to inform the police, but Daisy feels Jenny is more to blame as she was fleeing an argument about the fatherhood of the baby with Daniel that she precipitated by hinting the truth to Kit.
• Kit investigates the crash and tricks David into admitting the truth. He arrests him but then drives him to a lock-up, scaring him that he is going to take extra-judicial action. Admitting that he should never have slept with Shona, Kit offers a truce, and they call it quits, both apologising for messing up each other’s lives. Max is left in peace in his new prison, and Audrey Roberts surprises David when she tells him she’s selling her house to finance the rebuilding of No.8 and will move in with him and his family once it’s completed.
• Daisy snaps at everyone around her. Mick tries to chat her up and she takes him into the back room to talk but then rejects his threatening advances. Daniel has to rescue her. The next day, she causes a scene when she tries to make Mick apologise for his behaviour, causing Lou to go for Daisy. Jenny steps in to make Lou realise that her husband was playing away. A thankful Daisy is reconciled with her stepmother, and also with Daniel when she admits she cares for him. At his suggestion, they create a small memorial to the baby in the Rovers’ back yard. Unable to face his feelings, Kit declines to join them. Mick insensitively interrupts the proceedings until Lou, realising what they’ve walked in on, drags him away.
• Ken recuperates. Hearing that Cassie is homeless, he drops the charges against her, feeling that she’s lost so much already. He, Steve and Amy and Ken go on a break to Lake Windermere. Evelyn returns to try and get her daughter reconciled with Tyrone, but he refuses to change his mind. Tommy gets a new job in Southampton, but he and Tracy separate when she refuses to go with him, wanting to care for Ken. To get back at Cassie, she buys drugs and gives them to her, getting her addicted again. Roy encounters her buying another supply and informs Evelyn who finds out that Tracy was responsible for hooking her daughter again. Word gets back to Ken who orders Tracy to be gone from No.1 by the time he returns. Tyrone agrees under duress to take his mother back in. Steve decides to forgive Cassie and quickly ends up in bed with her again, regretting his actions just as quickly and hurting Cassie in the process.
• Sally invites Kevin and Abi, as well as Debbie and Ronnie, to dinner to restore Tim and Kevin’s friendship but the evening goes badly when Kevin accuses his wife of cheating on him with Ronnie. After a row, she realises that he is very vulnerable, and he admits that he’s struggling with his illness.

Sean is threatened.

• Brody pushes Dylan into rejecting Daniel’s offer of extra tuition and begins to inveigle him into being friends. Brody takes the blame when he and Dylan are caught with a joint and Brody tells him that he owes him. When Sean visits, Brody threatens him to smuggle in a burner phone or Dylan will suffer. Sean refuses and Dylan’s room is worked over as a first step. Sean smuggles a phone in, but Brody makes it clear that the matter isn’t over.
• Carla returns to work. Someone breaks into her flat and Betsy realises she is being followed by Rob. She grows scared of leaving her home. Carla is asked to view a body that has been found but it isn’t her brother. She spots Mandy in the hospital car park and Lisa arrests her. She tells them that Rob has a gun. The police find CCTV footage they mistakenly think shows Rob boarding a ferry, but while Ken, Steve and Amy are still away he makes his way to No.1 begging Tracy’s help. She allows him to stay the night, and she meets his contact to collect a false passport but wants to ring 999 when his infected operation wound opens. Refusing, he produces the gun, forcing Tracy to lure Carla to the house where he taunts his sister that she’s going to watch him die. Tracy escapes and raises the alarm. Lisa enters the house and becomes a second hostage as armed police lay siege. Lisa fights Rob for the gun and the trigger is pulled. Rob is overcome, arrested and taken to hospital, but the shot has gone through the back window and hit Betsy when she was stood in the ginnel. Her injured shoulder is operated on but there is possible permanent nerve damage. She blames her mother until Nina Lucas makes her see how much Lisa loves her.

• Julie matchmakes when Todd falls for Theo Silverton, a handsome scaffolder, but her nephew is embarrassed when the man insists that he’s straight. Later, Todd is surprised to receive a photo from him via a gay dating app.
• Jenny also joins a dating app. She also receives a windfall of £60,000 from some investments her ex-husband made in her name, but she doesn’t tell Daisy. She finds out when Rita Tanner lets slip and she tests her stepmother to see if she’s going to hand the money over to Carla as her share of the funds stolen from Underworld. Jenny fails to come clean. When Jenny loses Bertie while minding him, and he almost drowns in No.4’s hot tub, relations between the two women reach rock bottom as Jenny is reminded of Tom Midgeley’s death and she makes it clear to Daisy that she blames her for not looking after her little brother on that fateful day. Having had enough, Daisy summons her mother Christina Boyd, wanting her help in taking Jenny to the cleaners.
• Ed Bailey can’t agree with Dee-Dee’s decision to have her baby adopted after the birth. She is taken aback when another donor is found for Frankie and admits that the main purpose of having her baby has now gone. Ed summons James Bailey from London who has just obtained a new job in the United States, and he suggests to his sister that he and Danny Tomlinson adopt the child. Dee-Dee realises the idea came from her father and is angry at the two men for trying to keep a reminder of Joel Deering in her life. She goes cold on the idea of adoption to an interested couple as the father is also a lawyer, reminding her of Joel, and agrees instead that James can adopt. After false labour pains, and coming up against busy and disinterested staff in the hospital, she has to undergo an emergency caesarean due to high blood pressure and soon afterwards a further operation when she haemorrhages.
• Debbie begins to show signs of memory loss. Forgetting that she was alerted to a pre-scheduled power outage at the hotel, she calls in Mick in his capacity as an electrician. As there is no actual fault to fix, she refuses to pay all of his £300 call-out fee. Mick tells her she’s made a big mistake, and Ronnie has to step in to ward him off. She thinks Mick has stolen her purse when it goes missing and she sees him and Lou celebrating a supposed scratch card win but then finds her purse in the fridge. Jack Webster is suspended for fighting but, with Kevin and Abi on a short break, it is Debbie who talks the school out of suspending him. With Kevin home, Debbie wants him to rest and shouts abuse at the Michaelises from the ginnel for being too loud. Soon after, Ronnie finds her cut and bruised but she has no memory of what happened.

April

• Dee-Dee is informed that she’s had an emergency hysterectomy. Despite knowing she can never had children again, she insists that James takes the child who he names Laila, but he has to go to the States when Danny is seriously injured in an accident.

November

• To get his own back, David steals Ben’s prized rugby shirt but realises he has gone too far when he provokes an angry reaction. Ben’s 15-year son Will Driscoll fails to turn up on the train from an athletics’ meeting. He returns in secret and tries to abscond again once he’s obtained his passport but fails. He turns up again in the company of Megan Walsh, his athletics coach. The family are grateful to her, unaware that she is having an illicit affair with the underaged boy. He and Liam become friends and skip school. They are caught drinking by Maggie who tries to hide their misdeed. Thinking Will is homesick, Ben signs up James as his personal trainer, but his son shows no interest and spends the night with Megan in a hotel, claiming he can’t get home from another meeting in Leeds. Will suggests he lives in Hull to continue his training but Maggie refuses to countenance the idea. Instead, she and Eva team up and come up with the idea of paying Megan to come over twice a week for his training. Everyone agrees, with the family unaware that they created an arrangement for the affair to continue under their noses. Daniel takes a fancy to Megan, and to divert attention she doesn’t discourage him, making Will jealous in the process.
• Maggie has to rescue matters when a cocktail evening that Eva organises becomes a damp squib. She also undermines Eva by changing Lauren’s shift without consulting her but then disconcerts her by inviting her to join her for a beauty treatment session at the salon.
• Tracy sabotages Cassie's first day on the switch by surreptitiously unplugging the phone. Cassie gets her revenge when she finds Tracy in a drunken sleep, setting fire to No.1’s tablecloth with a tealight and getting Ken to admonish his daughter for her irresponsible behaviour. Tracy reacts by refusing to sign over the florists to Steve as part of the divorce settlement. Her lawyer drops her as she can’t afford their fees.
• Carla spells out to Becky that she has no part to play in Lisa’s future. When Becky asserts that Lisa still loves her, she is told that the gloves are now off. Lisa finds out about the Spain plan and calls her daughter’s bluff, knowing she won’t obtain a visa. To try and prevent a breach between mother and daughter, Carla compromises on a holiday in Spain. Costello tells Lisa that she will face a bigamy charge if she marries Carla and she must persuade Becky to return to Spain. In a later conversation with Costello, Becky refuses to be intimidated when he threatens to have her killed, just as he did with Tia Wardley, having had Logan and Matty to carry out the deed. Becky reminds her crooked boss that she is the one in control of the operation. Under duress from Carla, Lisa makes it clear to Becky where her future lies but she is forced to allow her to shelter when she claims two men are following her. Carla calls Becky’s bluff and makes her leave No.6. She does so, telling Costello that it’s just a setback and Lisa and Betsy will be on the flight to Spain with her. Carla is taken in for questioning when a complaint is made about fraudulent activity at the factory. She blames Becky but is forced to back down when she finds out that Eli Merton was the source of the complaint. A funeral wreath is delivered to Becky’s flat, and she realises it was from Costello. She retaliates by sending him a photo of his daughter that she snapped. Kit overhears Costello’s end of a phoned argument that the two have. Becky arranges for her superior officer to be beaten up, hospitalising him in an induced coma. Scared by the wreath, Betsy forces matters by threatening to move in with Becky when Lisa refuses to have her shelter and she has to relent. When Becky sabotages a lunch date that Carla and Lisa plan to have, Carla walks out on her, saying she cannot see how obvious it is that Becky is deliberately trying to split them up. Becky tries to make a move on Lisa, but she pulls away from her.
• Carl dupes Debbie into taking a holiday, making her think she’s forgotten that she booked it. She returns to a chaotic situation caused by her forgetting to settle a bill. Carl takes advantage, suggesting she lets him control matters, but she divides her responsibilities between him and Ryan and retains control of the bank account log-ins. Glenda and Debbie bicker about the dementia choir’s repertoire when Glenda lends the organisation a hand.
• Asha recovers slowly in the mental health unit. When she is ready to return home, she confides in Dev that she is hurt by the lack of support from her friends. He shames Amy, Summer and Nina into visiting her and making a fuss.
• Glenda tells George he should make a go of it with Christina, who then kisses George passionately in front of the pub regulars. They become a couple and she helps out more and more at the undertakers.
• Tyrone realises it is Ruby who is sending the messages, and she confesses that she did it because she feels neglected and ignored. Hope is less forgiving when she works out who the culprit is. With a rancorous atmosphere between the two girls now in place, Fiz gets stressed as their money problems accumulate and Tyrone contributes no help with even simple tasks from his wheelchair and has a meltdown at work. Alerted by Michael, Tyrone returns to work to handle office matters and finds that Kevin has fired Brody and is neglecting the business in his depression over Abi. An exhausted Fiz lies to Tyrone that Cilla Battersby-Brown needs her help in Wolverhampton to get away for a few days. Chesney finds her enjoy a spa day at the Chariot Square. Returning home, she finds Cassie helping out after taking Tyrone to a successful physio session and invites her to move back in.
• Kevin organises a poker night where he gambles recklessly and loses his car to Sally, though she refuses to take it, worrying about her ex. He then tries to play darts with Steve and Dev for money, also making the two men concerned for their friend.
• Getting in Roy’s way, Abi takes on the lease of Lauren’s old precinct flat. Jack goes on a short school football trip to Italy and snubs Abi on his return. Carl dumps Alfie on Kevin after collecting him from his nursery so that Abi can attend her counselling. Worried that Carl is going cold on her, Abi is taken aback when Kevin has the collect the child again and finds her and Carl in bed, saying she’s an unfit parent and he’s applying for custody. Tracy steps in when she sees how upset Abi is and gets Kevin to admit that he only wanted to hurt his estranged wife. Getting increasingly scared of settling down to domestic bliss, Carl makes secret arrangements to stay with a friend in Germany.
• Brody finds out from Kit that Lou is up in court for fighting in prison and realises the Metcalfes have kept the news from him. Lou gets an additional four months on her sentence. Brody himself also keeps the news from his sisters as Joanie is returned to No.4 in the middle of another row about Trisha, and Tim and Sally have to convince social worker Dawn Prentice that all is well between them. Taking all the Michaelis children to the bistro, Sally confronts Trisha when she walks in with a teenage boy who is then revealed to be her nephew. Tim assures Trisha that Sally won’t bother her again.
• Sarah is furious to find that her family have run a sweep on how long she and Kit will last. She wonders if Kit is committed to her and is delighted when he moves in with her and Harry.
• Kit berates David for upsetting his sister about the sweep and in a fit of anger arrests him when David attempts to push past him to go to Shona's second scan. Desperate to attend it, David successfully begs Kit to reconsider. The scan reveals a growth on the baby’s neck, and a later specialist scan shows that the baby’s airway could be blocked. Either a risky operation for both mother and baby, or an abortion, is required. Finding out that the child is a girl, Shona wants the operation, finding herself in opposition to David. She is also determined that no one should be told about the problem yet. A further scan indicates a tumour which might not be benign. David blurts out the truth when Nick, Toyah and Bethany give them a baby present, causing Shona to storm off. The girls talk to her while Nick does the same with his brother and each of them comes to appreciate the other’s point of view, reconciling them.

Theo tightens his control over Todd.

• With no work coming in, Gary gets Theo to agree to try and enter another contract with Pete. Theo isolates Todd further by getting him drunk and making him sleep in and miss an important civic funeral, then pushing Todd to stand up to an angry George and resigning on the spot. Todd is in tears at the breach with his old friend but is unable to stand up to his gaslighting partner. Billy and Summer worry about their friend. Theo pushes Todd into trying to find a working from home position and exercises more control over him by pushing him into taking up an exhausting health and running regime, signing him up for a half-marathon without getting his agreement first. During the same period, he also disconcerts Todd by begging him to be charming to Pete for the sake of the contract, but then angrily accuses him of flirting with the man. Theo withholds the news that he’s got the contract from Todd, but Sarah sees them together and thinks Theo is being unfaithful. Theo is forced to confess to the contract, claiming he was going to surprise Todd with the news but also telling him that he thinks Sarah has a conniving personality. He then grows jealous when James advises Todd on his fitness, accusing him of flirting and smashing his face into a mirror. Todd can’t take in what is happening when Theo claims it was an accident, and is then made to eat a cold meal to punish him for his supposed ingratitude after he brings him home from hospital having had his wound seen to.
