Tracy plays on Steve’s isolation and blows his secret

Karen (Suranne Jones) decides she wants to go out early doors collecting for Weatherfield Children’s Hospital and first knocks on the Grimshaws’ front door. Todd (Bruno Langley) answers and gives a generous donation because Karen strikes a nerve about his dead son Billy. But Steve (Simon Gregson) is embarrassed by his wife’s increasingly bizarre actions and asks her to stop as he misses the old Karen. Later on Tracy (Kate Ford) visits Steve in the cab office where she admits that she has never stopped loving him, begging him to give her and baby Amy a chance to be together. He rebuffs her but then a bitter Tracy decides to throw Steve’s nasty words back in his face, when she reveals to a shocked Karen that Steve has been secretly paying her paternity money for the last seven months. How will ‘saint’ Karen react to this bombshell?

Leanne (Jane Danson) and Jamie (Rupert Hill) are both playing hard to get with each other. In the corner shop she flirts outrageously with her new boss Dev (Jimmi Harkishin) and makes a pass at him. Will Dev succumb to lusty Leanne's charms?

And with the work finally complete on Nexus, Ciaran (Keith Duffy) can’t wait to get started but is hurt when he can only toast his new adventure with Charlie (Bill Ward) and Jason (Ryan Thomas) – because Tracy is nowhere to be found.

And Kelly (Tupele Dorgu) surprises the factory girls by coming back early from Tenerife, after discovering her husband-to-be has been cheating on her with the chief bridesmaid. But now with Sean (Antony Cotton) working in her place in the factory, will she get her old job back?
