Airs on Monday, December 1 2008 at 19:30 GMT on ITV1
Carla is full of mystery as she tells Tony to wait in the office while she goes shopping with Leanne as she has arranged a surprise for him. Tony is less than impressed when the surprise turns out to be his brother Pat, who Carla has invited to the wedding.
Tony pretends to be delighted by his presence, but knows he has to keep Pat away from Maria, as she still believes Liam was Tony's best man because he had fallen out with his brother!
There's more hassle for Tony when Jed starts to make life difficult for him by demanding more money for the house he evicted him from. Later, Jed fills an interested Kevin and Sally in on his dealings with Tony.
Meanwhile, Steve is desperate to get away and spend some time with Becky but Michelle wants him to organise some farewell drinks for her parents. He manages to grab a few minutes in the car with Becky and tells her that project Bad Boyfriend is working - he's starting to get on Michelle's nerves. But when Michelle's dad jokes about Steve proposing to Michelle, Becky is less than impressed and tells Steve that she doesn't want to be his bit on the side.
Elsewhere, Norris finally wins a competition but still isn't happy and Peter invites Leanne out for a drink.
Only one episode of Coronation Street will air tonight (Monday, December 1). The next episode will transmit on Wednesday, December 3 at 7.30pm as an hour-long edition.
Tony and Carla celebrate their wedding

One-hour episode
It's the day of Tony and Carla's wedding - a day that Tony often wondered if he would ever see. As he prepares to head off to the hotel, Pat is surprised at the amount of animosity towards his brother from Emily, Jed and Kevin.
Meanwhile Leanne arrives at Carla's flat, half expecting her to have done a bunk. But she seems determined to go ahead with the nuprials and arrives at the hotel looking every bit the blushing bride. As the bagpipes play, she walks down the aisle and marries a delighted Tony.
Over at the Rovers, Steve has managed to push Michelle to the brink by first leaving the living room in a state and then by not getting ready for the wedding in time, prompting her to tell him to stay behind at the pub. Steve is delighted as this leaves him to spend the entire day with Becky, who's also doing a shift behind the bar.
Back at the wedding, Maria has arrived wearing the last present that Liam bought her - she's dreading the day but is determined to get through it. With the champagne flowing, Sally's getting steadily becoming more drunk and when Carla makes a disparaging remark about Kevin, she sees red. Spotting an upset Maria leaving the reception, she follows her upstairs.
As Maria breaks down and tells Sally about how perfect Liam was and how she can't cope without him, a drunken Sally can't contain herself any longer and tells Maria about Liam and Carla's affair.
When a stunned Rosie arrives to witness what her mum has done, Sally snatches her mobile phone and shows the video footage as proof of her claims.
Devastated and furious, Maria races through the hotel determined to have it out with Carla - will she get to her before the happy couple leave for their honeymoon?
Elsewhere, Ken and Peter row again over Peter's lack of parenting skills and Norris goes for a drink with Mary.
Maria's stunned by Rosie's revelation
Airs on Friday, December 5 2008 at 19:30 GMT on ITV1
It's the morning after the night before and Maria is in a state of shock. She wants answers and is determined to find out exactly what was going on between Liam and Carla. Michelle tries to convince her that a kiss doesn't necessarily mean an affair but Tom admits that he did once wonder if there was something going on.
Maria is like a woman possessed and realises that there is one person who might know a little bit more - Rosie Webster. Maria waits for her to leave the factory and tackles her about Liam and Carla, but Maria is shocked by what Rosie tells her.
Peter is starting to get his act together and proudly tells Deirdre that he set three alarm clocks to ensure that he and Simon woke up and got ready for school in time. But he still hasn't quite got the hang of it and forgets Simon’s school bag.
Tina is worried about her dad and the amount of cash he is splashing out on Gail's new kitchen. When he gives her a jewellery box, she soon asks him if he has taken out a dodgy loan. Secretly, she's pleased with the present but is concerned about her father.
Elsewhere, Molly almost catches Tyrone selling some of Pam's knock-off perfume.
