Episode 4845 (25th June 2000)

PlotEdit

Geena recognises Sam's tattoo and realises that he is a stripper performing under the name of The Masked Python that she has seen perform. She invites him to do a gig at the Rovers and, as he needs the money, he agrees. Mark gives Linda a watch as her birthday present, saying he knows he can never compete with Mike. He tells her that he loves her and demands to know how she feels about him. Tyrone borrows Mark's car to impress Maria by taking her into the country. She is relieved when he confesses that his family aren't really rich. Audrey rows with Martin over his affair and is astounded when he isn't remorseful. He tells her that it's nothing to do with her. Mark bumps into an old travelling friend, Craig Brennan who invites himself to stay with him. Maria illustrates to Tyrone the importance of telling the truth when they are pulled and questioned by the police whilst driving Mark's car. Martin rows with Gail for telling Audrey and says he'll sleep on the sofa.
