The restaurant has now become the bane of Leanne's (Jane Danson) life and Paul's (Tom Hudson) attempts to cheer her up are futile. However, when Dan (Matthew Crompton) arrives for a drink she perks up - much to Paul's dismay. As they drink, Leanne reveals what a desperate situation she's in with the pizzeria and selling isn’t even an option anymore. When Dan casually mentions that she should burn the place down – Leanne's intrigued. Dan's shocked when Leanne 'accidentally' knocks over two flaming sambucas and sets fire to the table cloth - claiming "accidental fire" might be the solution to all of her problems!
David (Jack P Shepherd) is worried about Audrey's (Sue Nicholls) suspicions but reassures Tina (Michelle Keegan) that it'll be fine. However, Tina's not convinced and is panicking about having to lie to everyone. When Tina mentions that she’d like to go and visit Gail in hospital and asks him if he’s sure he doesn’t want to come clean, David is uneasy. Will the truth come out? What will happen to David if it does?
Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) goes to meet Chesney’s (Sam Aston) social worker in a bid to get him home and everyone’s delighted when she agrees to let Fiz act as Chesney’s guardian. The social worker just needs to inspect Fiz’s home first to make sure she’s capable of parental responsibility. However, when Chesney realises he has to go home to Fiz's flat, and not No 5, he's upset that he won’t be able to live with Schmeical and Kirk. Refusing to budge he suggests Fiz move back into to his house instead, so they can be one big happy family. Fiz is reluctant but realising she doesn't have a choice she agrees to move into No 5 - much to Chesney’s delight!
Elsewhere, Bill and Jason are hoping they’ll get the contract to work on the new flats – the business could really do with the money. Also, as the builders shoot admiring glances at Becky (Katherine Kelly) in the café, she broaches the subject of moving in with Roy (David Neilson). Despite his reservations, Roy agrees to let her move in. How will Roy cope living with Becky?
Monday 24 March 8.30pm
When Paul (Tom Hudson) enters the restaurant to find Leanne (Jane Danson) changing the burnt tablecloth, he comments how easily accidents happen in a restaurant - especially with candles and cookers everywhere and as he goes it's clear he's reinforced Leanne’s feeling that an accidental fire could be easier than she thought. Later, Leanne goes to the bookies to meet Dan (Matthew Crompton) and after an afternoon of passion, he's shocked that she's considering arson but Leanne assures him she's not being serious. Later, Leanne tells Dan that, hypothetically, if she was going to torch the restaurant, she'd get Paul to do it for her because he worships her and would do anything she asked. Dan's incredulous, is Leanne serious about committing arson?
Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) moves in to No.5, much to Kirk’s (Andrew Whyment) delight, and is relieved when the social worker agrees to let Chesney (Sam Aston) move back in after inspecting the house. However, when Kirk starts enthusing about how they're going to be one big happy family and suggests he and Fiz share a room - Fiz is worried. She's relieved to have Chesney back but is living with Kirk going to be harder than she thought?
David’s (Jack P Shepherd) nervous about going to the hospital with Tina (Michelle Keegan) – worried that she may jog Gail’s (Helen Worth) memory. However, when they arrive Gail seems none the wiser and David is relieved when she apologises to him about the abortion and tells him how pleased she is that he and Tina have patched things up. However, later when David asks the doctor about Gail’s memory returning, he’s concerned to learn that there is a chance she may regain it. Meanwhile, Tina seems uneasy that she’s become so embroiled in David’s mess. Will Gail remember how David left her for dead?
Elsewhere, Becky (Katherine Kelly) is thrilled about being Roy’s (David Neilson) new lodger and persuades him to go for a celebratory drink with her in the Rovers. However, Roy’s mortified when Becky jokes about their "co-habiting" arrangement in front of Steve (Simon Gregson) and Lloyd (Craig Charles). Will living with Becky be harder than he thought?
Also, Bill (Peter Armitage) and Jason (Ryan Thomas) are pleased when Tony (Gray O'Brien) offers them some help with getting the contract for the new flats.
Wednesday 26 March 7.30pm
At No. 5, Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) is finding it increasingly difficult living with Kirk (Andrew Whyment) and after berating him for coming into her room unannounced, she can’t hide her frustration when he shows up at work and asks her what she wants for tea in front of all the factory girls! When she arrives home to find Kirk rifling through her underwear in an attempt to put a wash on, she's horrified and heads over to the pub where she tells Maria (Samia Smith) that she has no choice but to ask him to move out. Will Fiz have the heart to throw him out and how will Chesney (Sam Aston) react if she does?
There’s a frosty atmosphere between Audrey (Sue Nicholls) and David (Jack P Shepherd) at the hospital and when he reveals that he will be taking care of Gail (Helen Worth) once she’s discharged, Audrey’s troubled. She claims it’s too much for David to handle, but when Gail makes it clear that she trusts David and wants to go home with him, Audrey backs off - not wanting to upset Gail. Will Gail regain her memory once she's back in the house with David?
Over at the café, things between Roy (David Neilson) and Becky (Katherine Kelly) are awkward as they struggle to cope with the busy café. However, when Lloyd (Craig Charles) notices the tension he ribs Becky who confesses things are awkward because she walked in on a naked Roy in the bathroom! As Lloyd howls with laughter, poor Roy is mortified once again. Later (as Roy screws a new lock onto the bathroom door) Becky explains that mistakes like that happen all the time when you share a place together. However, Roy doesn’t agree and insists they must set some house rules. Will they get used to each other’s habits?
Elsewhere, determined to solve all her worries over the restaurant, Leanne (Jane Danson) asks Dan (Matthew Crompton) to play it cool so as not to scupper her plans to seduce Paul (Tom Hudson) into arson. Dan's shocked that Leanne's serious and is worried about what he's started. Meanwhile, Leanne immediately begins her flirtation with a delighted Paul - but she panics when she sees Dan in the pub and slaps him to make it seem as though he's hassling her. Will Leanne manage to hoodwink a smitten Paul?

How will Fiz and Maria get Kirk out of the way without hurting his feelings?
Leanne (Jane Danson) apologises to Dan (Matthew Crompton) for slapping him in the pub, but reminds him that she doesn’t want to do anything to ruin her plan. At the restaurant later that day, she gains Paul’s (Tom Hudson) sympathy and tells him that she's had a mad idea.

Leanne (Jane Danson) hesitantly reveals her plan to Paul (Tom Hudson) she thinks they can both recoup their money with an insurance claim if they burnt down the restaurant. Leanne tells Paul she wants them both to pay their debts and move on to their next venture together, but plastering on a dejected expression, claims she hasn't got the bottle to torch the place. As predicted Paul offers to burn it for her, he tells her he'd do anything for her and moves in for a kiss. Leanne manages to dodge the kiss, but it's clear she has Paul wrapped around her little finger as he agrees to burn the restaurant down on Monday!
