Vernon (Ian Reddington) is still reeling from Liz’s (Beverly Callard) decision not to run the bar with him but he is stunned when she tells him that coming to view the bar has proved to her that she also wants out of the marriage. He tries to persuade her not to throw everything away but she tearfully confesses that she should never have married him.

Tony (Gray O’Brien) and Carla (Alison King) discuss how to play Rita (Barbara Knox) and Norris (Malcolm Hebdon) and wonder whether to wine and dine them. In the end they decide to stay on home territory at the Rovers and plan their strategy to try and win them round. When Tony offers the market price plus 25 grand Rita can’t help but be interested – much to Norris’s dismay.

Claire (Julia Haworth) is delighted when she gets a cheque for £7,000 for the programmes and can’t wait to tell Ashley (Steven Arnold) the good news. Sally (Sally Whittaker) is furious however when she finds out and Ashley arrives home to a somewhat frosty atmosphere. He suggests they all go out for a slap up meal courtesy of the windfall but Sally has a go at Kevin (Michael Le Vell) for not emptying the loft before they moved.

Becky (Katherine Kelly) agrees to take the job at the Rovers much to Roy’s (David Neilson) disapproval but Jason (RyanThomas) for one is pleased to see her behind the bar
