PlotEdit

Des calls on the Hortons to see Lisa whilst he's in Blackpool. Alma accuses Mike of wanting to get his foot in Maggie's door. Lisa is amazed to see Des. She starts to cry when he gives her a present. Reg tries to talk his way into spending the day at the Rovers but Bet ignores him. Mike dresses as a van driver to deliver the present to Maggie's house. He is stunned when Ken opens the door and tells him that he looks ridiculous dressed as he is and shuts the door on him. Maggie is pleased he did. The Roberts' and Brennans spend the day with the Platts. Bet lays on lunch for Raquel, Rita, Phyllis and Denise. Audrey buys Alf an excerise bike. Carmel turns up at No.8, saying that she missed the boat. Martin can't believe it. Mike can't get over the fact that Ken is with Maggie and Mark. Carmel tells Martin that she's returned early because she missed him.
