But these hitches seem like minor blips when he turns up for the handover of the dodgy sunglasses – only to find himself face to face with a copper.
Peter (Chris Gascoyne) has invited Leanne (Jane Danson) over to watch a DVD with him and Simon (Alexander Bain), and buys a couple of pizzas and some wine in anticipation of the evening but when Leanne is late he decides to make a start on the wine himself.
Steve (Simon Gregson) is angry with himself and fed up that he has lost Becky (Katherine Kelly) – he suggests to Michelle (Kym Marsh) that they should go to Ireland for a few days prompting his mum to tell him to sort his love life out once and for all.

Leanne (Jane Danson) talks to Deirdre (Anne Kirkbride) and discovers that Peter (Chris Gascoyne) has gone to a great deal of effort to plan a nice evening for the two of them. His thoughtfulness pays off though and it isn’t long before he and Leanne are kissing passionately.
Anna (Debbie Rush) asks Gary (Mikey North) to take down the Christmas lights as she is sick of the earache she is getting off Gail (Helen Worth).

But it isn’t long before he starts to charm her and persuades her to make hi a cup of tea – against her better judgement Tina finds herself warming to him.
Liz (Beverly Callard) tells Steve (Simon Gregson) that if he loves Becky (Jetherine Kelly) he should finish with Michelle (Kym Marsh) as she deserves better – meanwhile Becky tells a persistent Jason (Ryan Thomas) that she always finds herself second best and that Sarah will always be his number one.
