PlotEdit

Ken is depressed. Peter tells him that he's noticed Deirdre eyeing up Dev. Ken doesn't believe him. He knows that Deirdre has left because of him and not for another man. Linda tells Ryan that she's spoken to Emma and that Emma is not going to press charges but that Ryan has to stay away from her. Ryan is relieved. Duggie is annoyed because yet again Mike and Fred fail to turn up to a business meeting regarding the Rovers. Mike and Fred both make it clear to Duggie that the Rovers is low on their list of priorities. Duggie tells Fred he wants to dissolve the partnership. Adam tells Matt that he's concerned that he's let Ken down by saying he wants to live with Mike. Matt tells him that he has nothing to blame himself for. Audrey agrees to be one of the judges for the sausage competition. Blanche tries to persuade Deirdre to go back to Ken. Deirdre tells her that it's over for good. Dev is all dressed up to take Geena out when she phones and says that she's not well. Deirdre is delighted and tells Dev that she will cook him his favourite meal instead. Dev is a little disconcerted.
