Drunken Frankie falls victim to Tracy’s games
An emotional Frankie (Debra Stephenson) is still upset at having found Danny (Bradley Walsh) and Leanne (Jane Danson) in bed together the previous evening. Attempting to remain upbeat she lies to Jamie (Rupert Hill) and Carol (Lynne Pearson) saying that she changed her mind about visiting Danny. However, when Jamie and Carol head off out for the day, a lonely Frankie breaks down and the tears begin to flow. She later drowns her sorrows in the Rovers where a mischievous Tracy, spotting Frankie has had one too many, plays games with her and tries to set Frankie up with Charlie (Bill ward). Drunk and at such a low emotional ebb, will Frankie take the bait and become another notch on Charlie’s bedpost, or will someone step in to escort Frankie safely home?
Having shared a kiss at the dinner dance, it’s the day after the night before for Bev (Susie Blake) and Fred (John Savident). Both are a bit embarrassed by their actions and nervously circle each other all day without finding time alone to discuss their situation. Bev confides in daughter Shelley (Sally Lindsay), who pours scorn on the idea of the pair dating. However, it becomes clear that Bev may fancy Fred more than she is prepared to admit. Does Fred feel the same way about Bev and will the awkward pair admit it to each other?
Meanwhile, the sight in Ashley’s (Steven Arnold) left eye shows no signs of improvement and the beleaguered butcher becomes bitter, taking his frustrations out on Fred (John Savident) and then on wife Claire (Julia Haworth), who, upset at Ashley’s self pity, storms out of the house. Needing all the help he can get at the moment, will a desperate Ashley apologise for his earlier outburst?
Also, Sunita (Shobna Gulati) decides she wants a home birth and snobby Sally (Sally Whittaker) is embarrassed by Sophie’s (Brooke Vincent) friendship with newfound cousin, Nicolette (Natalie Richards).

It’s decision time for Danny (Bradley Walsh) and Leanne (Jane Danson). Thrown together out of loneliness, neither of them wants to be with each other but after Frankie (Debra Stephenson) reiterates to Danny that they are finished for good and Jamie (Rupert Hill) gloats to Leanne that his cheating father will reject her eventually, the desperate pairing discuss their relationship. Isolated by their actions, will Danny and Leanne decide to salvage something out of life and defy everyone by officially becoming an item?
Meanwhile, in a lighter mood, Ashley (Steven Arnold) decides it’s time to forgive and forget. He goes for a drink in the Rovers and is joined by a worried Nathan (Ray Fearon) who is still concerned by Ashley’s condition. Ashley informs a relieved Nathan that he values his friendship and reveals he does not hold him responsible for his injuries. Fred (John Savident), however, is not so charitable and is still keen to pursue the mechanic for compensation. Can Ashley persuade Fred to turn the other cheek and forgive Nathan?
Elsewhere, a broke Keith (Ian Redford) sets about restoring his self-respect. He returns the dinner suit that Audrey (Sue Nicholls) had bought him, much to Audrey’s exasperation, and then turns his attentions to his financial woes.
He calls in at the Kabin to enquire about a earning a little extra cash. Will a reluctant Rita (Barbara Knox) and Norris (Malcom Hebden) agree to help? Is Keith about to become Weatherfield’s oldest paper boy?
Also, after trouble at Roy’s Rolls involving Sophie (Brooke Vincent) and cousin Nicolette (Natalie Richards), a worried Sally (Sally Whittaker) confides in husband Kevin (Michael Le Vell) that they must put a stop to their friendship.
8:30 pm
When a brazen Danny (Bradley Walsh) and Leanne (Jane Danson) enter the Rovers together, it’s not long before a confrontation between them and Frankie (Debra Stephenson) and Jamie (Rupert Hill) ensues. Upset Frankie leaves and returns home in tears where she is joined by a worried Jamie. The pair begin to argue between themselves much to Carol’s (Lynne Pearson) glee but when Jamie asks Carol to leave the room so that they can chat to Frankie alone, Carol once again feels isolated by the strong bond between stepmother and stepson. Will Carol be able to once again wheedle her way into Jamie’s affections and drive a wedge between him and Frankie?
Meanwhile, Nathan (Ray Fearon) is growing tired of Tracy’s (Kate Ford) constant bitching and her recent friendliness towards Charlie (Bill Ward). As the pair sit in the Rovers, Nathan is forced to listen as Tracy once again badmouths other street residents. It’s clear Nathan’s interested in a quiet life and he’s not going to find that while he continues to date Tracy. Will the hunky mechanic decide to cut his losses and leave motor mouth Tracy speechless?
Meanwhile, Liz’s (Beverley Callard) new relationship with musician Vernon (Ian Reddington) is blossoming. She nervously makes plans to introduce him to Steve (Simon Gregson) and Ronnie (Emma Stansfield). She is so wrapped up in her new fella that her work at the bakery begins to suffer. Diggory (Eric Potts), annoyed at having been rejected by Liz and feeling like she is taking liberties, decides to cut all ties and sacks her.
Also, Audrey (Sue Nicholls) and Keith (Ian Redford) attempt to build bridges. The smitten salon owner is impressed when she spots Keith out making some extra money delivering newspapers. Audrey offers the olive branch by inviting him for a drink later. Will the stubborn pensioner accept the invitation?

After being dumped by Nathan (Ray Fearon), Tracy (Kate Ford) puts a brave face on and goes to the Rovers in an attempt to show her ex- boyfriend that she isn’t bothered at being single again. Charlie (Bill Ward) spots her drinking alone and quickly moves in for the kill. Flattered by the attention she is receiving, Tracy responds and it is clear there is a spark between the pair. Clearly enjoying the stir they are creating they leave the pub together. Are they just winding their ex-partners up or are there genuine feelings between them?
Meanwhile, life is not a bed of roses for Leanne (Jane Danson) and Danny (Bradley Walsh). The pair are increasingly isolated and things don’t get any easier when Leanne goes to the factory and makes a bit of a show of being the boss’s girlfriend. Her behaviour infuriates the factory girls and it’s not long before Mike (Johnny Briggs) intervenes and sends Leanne packing. How long can Danny and Leanne continue to be the social outcasts of Weatherfield?
Elsewhere, new found cousin, Nicolette (Natalie Richards) continues to cause mayhem at the Websters'. In a bid to cheer up Sally (Sally Whittaker), Kevin (Michael Le Vell) organises for them to go out for the evening, leaving Rosie (Helen Flanagan) in charge of younger sister Sophie (Brooke Vincent). Nicolette soon arrives and it’s not long before she leads Sophie astray. Kevin and Sally return and quickly realise that impressionable Sophie is indeed picking up bad habits from Nicolette. They both agree they must act quickly before Sophie’s behaviour gets any worse. How will Sally and Kevin deal with this latest teenage trauma?
Also, Ashley (Steven Arnold) is thrilled when a trip to the specialist’s reveals his sight is beginning to return and Steve (Simon Gregson) is shocked when an independent Ronnie (Emma Stansfield) announces she is moving into her own flat.

Sally (Sally Whittaker) and Kevin (Michael Le Vell) take action over Sophie (Brooke Vincent) and Nicolette’s (Natalie Richards) behaviour. Having discovered their daughter has been smoking they decide to visit Nicolette’s parents in a bid to stop Sophie being influenced by her cousin. The Websters are shocked to discover the Seddons' live in a nice house in a pleasant suburb. Once inside it soon becomes apparent that the Seddons' view Sophie as the disruptive influence and consider the Webster family to be the rough side of the family. How will Kevin and Sally react to these claims and will they be able to reach a conclusion that puts an end to Sophie and Nicolette’s poor behaviour?
Elsewhere, after realising Tracy (Kate Ford) has spent the night with Charlie (Bill Ward), Ken (William Roache) and Deirdre (Anne Kirkbride) are horrified by their wayward daughter’s choice of partner. Deirdre wants to confront Tracy but Ken persuades her to keep quite advising that Tracy wants to get a reaction from them. He advises Deirdre that if they say nothing to Tracy then perhaps the fling with Charlie will fizzle out. Will Deirdre heed Ken’s wise words?
Meanwhile, Frankie (Debra Stephenson) is facing financial difficulties and turns to Eileen (Sue Cleaver) for advice. Eileen suggests that the hard–up housewife asks for rent from Jamie (Rupert Hill) and Carol (Lynne Pearson). Will Frankie have to ask her houseguests to pay their way and how will Carol react to the request?
Also, Fred (John Savident) is in a quandary over who to invite to the Annual Brewery Christmas bash. Steve (Simon Gregson) is unsure where he stands with Ronnie (Emma Stansfield) and Sarah (Tina O’Brien) and Jason (Ryan Thomas) struggle to find time alone together.dfhhd
