Maria drives at Tony in a fit of rage
Airs on Monday, January 26 2009 at 19:30 GMT on ITV1
Maria's in a terrible state. She can’t get anyone to believe her allegations about Tony and when she finally gets to talk to the police, they've already been approached by Carla over Maria attacking Tony. They advise Maria that if she continues to harass Tony, she’ll be in serious trouble.
Devastated, she leaves the police station and heads home but as she rounds the corner into Coronation Street, she sees Tony crossing the road and her hatred for the man she believes killed her husband bubbles to the surface. She puts her foot down and drives straight at him...
Sally and Kevin assure Sophie that they love her and apologise for the way they've sidelined her during all their problems with Rosie. Rosie makes disparaging remarks about her sister but Sophie is having none of it and gives as good as she gets.
Ken returns from Portsmouth without Peter and explains to Leanne and Blanche that Peter had to go into rehab. Blanche has no sympathy for Peter and his problems but Leanne is concerned and agrees to stand by him by looking after the bookies.
Eileen is amused when she spots Gail and Anna rowing in the street. Meanwhile, Gary and Len congratulate themselves on the all-round success of the copper piping scam. Eddie, however, is dumbstruck when Kirk tells him that he's managed to arrange for them to join another darts team.

It’s mayhem on the Street as Maria sits dazed in the crumpled wreck of her car and Tony lies on the cobbles. Kevin rushes to Maria’s aide, whilst Carla is relieved to discover that Tony is conscious. The emergency services are called and Tony and Maria are taken to hospital.
The enormity of what she has done hits home and Maria waits with baited breath to see if she has harmed her unborn child. Meanwhile, the police warn her that she could be facing an attempted murder charge if it is proved that she tried to run Tony over on purpose.
A cocky Gary Windass suggests to Tina that David tried to frame him for the robbery because he's jealous and worried that Tina fancies him. Later in the pub, David's devastated when he hears Tina telling Jason that she isn’t sure Gary is guilty.
Desperate to escape the problems at home, Ken takes Eccles for a long walk by the canal but when the dog falls in and Ken tries to rescue him, he finds a good Samaritan in the form of the charming Martha Fraser, who invites him to dry out in the warmth of her canal boat.
Elsewhere, Eileen is surprised to discover that Julie is in fact the daughter of one of her old school friends and Sophie comes home from swimming in a bad mood but won’t tell Sally why.
Carla's suspicions are aroused
Airs on Wednesday, January 28 2009 at 19:30 GMT on ITV1
The police question Tony about Maria running him down, suggesting that she may have been trying to kill him but, to Carla’s fury and dismay, Tony insists that he didn’t see a thing and it was an accident.
Later, Tony has a surprise for everyone when he brings Jed Stone to the pub – after first making sure he covers the ligature marks on his neck.
Maria feels foolish when Tony asks her to come to the pub to meet someone. Carla, however, is not convinced when Tony tells her he set Jed up in a new home after feeling bad about buying his old house. When she later sees Tony frogmarching Jed to his car and apparently threatening him, her suspicions are aroused even more.
Blanche and Leanne continue to work alongside each other at the bookies in Peter’s absence, with Blanche even conceding that she likes Leanne and thinks she is good for Peter.
Norris and Mary are delighted when they jointly win a motor home in a competition. Mary suggests that they get some use out of their prize and enjoy a few days away in Southport.
Elsewhere, David congratulates himself after managing to ruin Gary's date with Rosie.
David and Gary come to blows
Airs on Friday, January 30 2009 at 19:30 GMT on ITV1
It’s war between David Platt and Gary Windass. Gary speaks to Jason who fills him in on some interesting information about David’s history and all the scrapes he’s been involved in.
Armed with some serious ammo, he sets about trying to wind David up and succeeds, despite Tina begging David to ignore his childish antics.
After suffering a day of antagonism, David finally flips and punches Gary. A brawl ensues and Tina tries to stop it but Gary gets the better of David and knocks him to the ground.
Ken takes Eccles for another walk along the canal and once more bumps into Martha who invites him for lunch on the barge. He discovers that she is appearing in a local production of 'A Streetcar Named Desire' and asks him if he would mind helping her with her lines.
As Ken sits enraptured, it's clear that Martha is worlds away from his problems back in Weatherfield.
Maria calls at the factory to apologise to Tony and Carla for wrongly accusing him of killing Liam. But Carla is intrigued when Maria can’t resist a dig about Tony evicting Jed.
Later, Carla decides to pay Emily a visit to try and find out exactly what went on and she’s surprised by what Emily has to say.
Elsewhere, Janice gets the shock of her life when she sneaks out of the hospital for a crafty fag with her new mate Mike.
Carla pays Jed a visit in Wigan
Airs on Friday, January 30 2009 at 20:30 GMT on ITV1
David is in a bad way lying on the pavement as Tina, Eddie and Anna try to pull Gary off him before he does any more damage. David is taken to hospital in an ambulance and asks Tina to lie for him and say that Gary threw the first punch.
Meanwhile, Anna and Eddie berate Gary for the assault and warn him that he could go down. But when Gail tells Anna that Gary is a mindless brute, she sticks up for her son and insists that David is a liar.
Carla decides it is time she had some answers of her own, so she pays Jed a visit in Wigan and takes him out for lunch.
As she plies him with alcohol, she quizzes him about Tony and when he takes off his scarf, she notices the marks on his neck. She asks him if they have anything to do with Tony and his silence speaks volumes.
Janice is surprised when she gets a visit from Mike’s wife Laura. Laura thanks her for being such a good friend to Mike and being there when he died. Janice is moved by her words and tells Leanne that Mike’s death has made her think seriously about her own future.
