Steve's smitten to have baby on board

While Karen (Suranne Jones) is reeling about her romantic weekend being ruined by baby Amy (Rebecca Pike), Steve (Simon Gregson) is clearly besotted with his baby daughter and proves to be a dab hand at parenting. However Karen’s plans do not take into account this new bond between Steve and Amy.

Jason (Ryan Thomas) finds himself juggling Candice’s (Nikki Sanderson) affections for him, and his evident lust for new girl Violet (Jenny Platt) who is turning heads in the Street. But can Jason make a catch without dropping everything?

Sunita (Shobna Gulati) is delighted when her brother Jayesh (Ace Bhatti) pays her an unexpected visit after four years of her being ignored by the family. However, there are evident tensions under the surface and the reunion quickly becomes heated as Jayesh preaches his parents’ message about the importance of tradition. Will Dev (Jimmi Harkishin) manage to win over Jayesh and broker a peace deal between Sunita and her estranged parents before the wedding?

As Ciaran (Keith Duffy) reluctantly decides to give up and sell his restaurant, Tracy (Kate Ford) reappears, being uncharacteristically sympathetic to him. While Ciaran seems suspicious of Tracy, she slowly reels him in, declaring her love for him. However, her true motives become clear as she works her powers of persuasion to tempt Ciaran into doing the dirty on Penny (Pauline Fleming).

Karen confronts Tracy in public

Karen (Suranne Jones) is anything but quiet in her determination to find Tracy (Kate Ford), with a threat to ‘nail her to the pavement’. Later, when Karen learns Tracy is in the Rovers, she storms in like a bull in a china shop and after exchanging pleasantries, Karen humiliates Tracy with a shocking announcement. As Karen’s true feelings towards Amy (Rebecca Pike) are made known, Steve (Simon Gregson) is forced to tow the line. Ciaran (Keith Duffy) is uneasy about the idea of doing the dirty on Penny (Pauline Fleming), seeing her as the only person who has ever had faith in him. This pushes him to question Tracy’s motives and the basis for her renewed interest in him, to which Tracy feigns outrage. Will Ciaran’s deteriorating situation at the restaurant play into Tracy’s scheming hands?

Elsewhere, Jayesh (Ace Bhatti) shows sympathy with Sunita’s (Shobna Gulati) situation, yet drops the bombshell that he will not be attending the wedding for the sake of the family. When Dev (Jimmi Harkishin) gets some time alone with Jayesh, he lays the guilt on thick, forcing Jayesh to readdress his priorities.

Maria (Samia Ghadie) and Candice (Nikki Sanderson) explain to Violet (Jenny Platt) Jason’s (Ryan Thomas) history with women. Candice makes it known he’s still the one for her, that is until she learns Warren (Danny Young) really is a footballer, a fact which renders him highly eligible, and conveniently available as Jason makes his play for Violet.

Fred (John Savident), having witnessed this, is appalled and despairs for the future of love and romance, lecturing anyone who will feign interest on the subject. In an increasingly inebriated state, Fred’s views on the matter become more and more vocal, to the point where he publicly makes an uncharacteristically generous proposition.

The morning after the night before for Fred

Fred (John Savident) is horrified to learn of his antics the previous night, and the street will not let him forget it, each couple vying for Fred’s attention in an attempt to win the weekend in Paris. Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) and Kirk (Andrew Whyment) seem particularly keen, engaging in a series of overblown romantic gestures with hilarious consequences. Meanwhile, Fred determined not to part with his cash looks into some interesting travel arrangements.

Jason is convinced he’s in love with Violet, but Candice is furious when she hears Jason’s version of their breakup and wastes no time in setting him and everyone else within earshot right. In spite of this, Violet seems unphased and agrees to tea at Jason’s house. Will Violet (Jenny Platt) make good impression on Eileen (Sue Cleaver) though?

Elsewhere, Ciaran (Keith Duffy) finally gives in to Tracy’s (Kate Ford) powers of persuasion, and after an impressive demonstration of her skills in forgery he agrees to the scam. On getting the go-ahead, Tracy springs into action and sets up a meeting with Mr Walker (Ken Kitson) in which she tries to pass herself off as Penny (Pauline Fleming), but when Mike (Johnny Briggs) and the real Penny turn up at the restaurant, will their plot be busted?

Claire (Julia Haworth) and Ashley (Steven Arnold) are enjoying a spot of decorating complete with playful antics, yet later when Claire leaves him to it, Ashley uncovers some painful memories.

Meanwhile, Dev (Jimmi Harkishin) makes the bold move of visiting Sunita’s (Shobna Gulati) parents without her knowledge and it’s safe to say the welcome mat is not rolled out.

Ciaran’s got a job to do

Ciaran (Keith Duffy) knows it’s time to break the news to Penny (Pauline Fleming), and Tracy is (Kate Ford) there to prime him for the meeting. When push comes to shove, Ciaran eats humble pie and it seems as though he might get away with it, but are Tracy’s celebrations premature?

Tonight’s the night when Fred (John Savident) will announce the winner of his competition for a romantic weekend away, and while he has continued to be harangued by just about everyone, he is not impressed with the standard of competition. However, at the last minute, someone swoops in with a stunningly genuine romantic gesture, which secures the prize hands down.

Meanwhile, Tyrone (Alan Halsall) is brooding over Maria (Samia Ghadie), and nothing seems to be going his way. Later in the Rovers, Maria makes a thoughtful gesture but will this just serve to encourage Tyrone?

Elsewhere, Sunita (Shobna Gulati) is evidently still peeved at Dev (Jimmi Harkishin) for visiting her parents and she storms out of the shop in need of space. Are her fears that Dev’s actions may have jeopardised her new success with her brother and niece justified?

Ashley and Claire need to break the news to Yvonne

Fred (John Savident) proves he’s not such a scrooge, by presenting Ashley (Steven Arnold) and Claire (Julia Haworth) with tickets to Paris as a sign of his blessing for their marriage, yet will Claire’s mother Yvonne (Yvonne O’Grady) be so easily convinced?

Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) and Kirk (Andrew Whyment) decide to play cupid to Tyrone (Alan Halsall) and Maria (Samia Ghadie), and while they lack subtlety, they manage to set up a date between them, though it seems the two have rather different agendas. Later at the pizzeria a good time is had by all, as Tyrone and Maria reminisce about Blackpool But is Maria leading him on?

Meanwhile, Sunita (Shobna Gulati) seems to have forgiven Dev (Jimmi Harkishin), yet confrontation comes from a different quarter as Frankie (Debra Stephenson) winds up Sunita over Maya (Sasha Behar). However, rather than moping, Sunita is determined not to be pushed about and vows to enjoy the run up to her wedding.

In an unexpected turn, Penny (Pauline Fleming) pays a visit to Ciaran (Keith Duffy) and apologizes for her selfish behaviour towards him, insisting that she should have taken his feelings into account. Will this prove too much for Ciaran who is increasingly racked by guilt. Either way, Tracy (Kate Ford) is already spending the money and burning her family ties.
