PlotEdit

Vik is in a good mood after his night out with Bobbi. Peter assures Ken he won't mention that he saw him and Alma kissing. Sarah is walking on air because Sam gives her a lift to school in his car. Candice is jealous. Fred and Mike decide to turn up at the Rovers and meet Duggie's Valuer. When they get there Duggie says the Valuer has already been and gone. He tells Mike and Fred that their offer of £14000 wasn't far out as the bottom has fallen out of the market. Mike and Fred are worried. Curly arrives back. Curly finds out from Blanche that Charlie stayed with Emma while he was away, and wants to know why. He finds out from Danny that a window was broken which Danny mended. He confronts Emma who tells him that the window was broken by Ryan. Curly is furious but Emma tells him to leave it. She doesn't tell him about being held hostage. Ken suggests to Alma that they could have a future together. Alma isn't sure. Fred wants to try some of Ashley's secret recipe sausages. Ashley eventually agrees on the grounds that Fred won't be able to tell what's in them. Alma persuades Deirdre to go and talk to Ken. Deirdre goes to see Ken. She is shocked when Ken says he doesn't want her back. Mike and Fred talk to Duggie and agree that they all want to sell the pub. Vik asks Bobbi out again but she plays it cool. Vik feels put out.
