Plot
The baby shower carries on without the mothers-to-be. Liz calls Steve, who is playing golf with Johnny, to let him know about Michelle. Toyah admits to Eva that she's with Peter but insists that they love each other. Eva is sickened when she says she's lying to safeguard Leanne and her baby. Liz tells the women what's happened and stops the shower. Kevin shoots down Luke's valeting idea. Steve rushes to the hospital and is with Michelle when she's examined by a midwife. They breathe sighs of relief when the midwife finds the baby's heartbeat. Aidan gets legal advice regarding Peter and Adam's claims on the factory from Ben Lockhart. Lockhart advises him to pay them off as the legal battle could cost him more, even if he wins. Sinead is gutted that Chesney can't make their night out and decides not to go. She's shocked when Gemma lets her know that Chesney swapped shifts with her. Michelle is kept in hospital as she's lost amniotic fluid and there's a risk of infection. Tyrone is angry when Kevin admits that he's taken £14,000 from the garage. Kevin reminds him that he raided the petty cash when Hope was sick and she isn't even his. Livid Tyrone throws his garage keys on the floor and storms off. While they're arguing, Andy steals Kevin's laundry bag. Peter tells a delighted Simon that he'll soon put a deposit on the holiday. A peeved Sinead gets drunk in the Rovers. Aidan admits to Eva that the factory might go under because of the Barlows. Leanne is distressed that Michelle might lose her baby and is comforted by Nick. Sinead confronts Chesney in the kebab shop and demands to know why he lied to her. He calls her drunken antics embarrassing, leading her to squirt ketchup in his face. Eva tells Peter that she knows about him and Toyah and his factory scam. Peter warns her to keep her nose out. Michelle begs her baby to hang on.
