Bev comes clean to Fred and confesses that she has told Deirdre about the baby. She hasn’t the heart to own up to Shelley yet - a decision she will come to regret. Deirdre and Ken realise they have no choice but to tell Tracy the news. Tracy is stunned and wastes no time in heading straight for the Rovers where she demands to see Shelley. Having lit the blue touchpaper Bev and Deirdre can only stand well back and watch as the fireworks start! With Liam and Frankie no longer an item Danny seems more prepared to give the business partnership a go and the girls can’t help but be pleased that Liam is sticking around. Danny is highly amused though when he discovers what really happened between Frankie and Liam. Violet’s suspicions continue to grow and when Jamie seems overly keen to let Sean join the pair of them a pre-holiday shopping trip she sees this as yet more evidence that he has feelings for his mate. Steve is enjoying making plans for the future and lets Michelle know that he would love her to stay on at the pub when he and Liz take over. Liam can’t help but wonder if it is just Michelle’s barmaid skills that are interesting Steve.
