CAN DEBBIE AND ABI MAKE AMENDS? Kevin sets off with Jack to an athletics event and suggests to Abi and Debbie they take the opportunity to get to know each other. Sally tells Debbie that Abi is a good person and loves Kevin, unaware that Abi is on the phone to Peter telling him all she can think about is getting a fix. Debbie apologises to Abi and suggests they start again.

IT’S A DAY OF MIXED EMOTIONS FOR STEVE AND LEANNE Steve and Leanne are pleased when the consultant reveals that a specialist from another hospital is coming over to assess Oliver and give a second opinion. Having done some research on the internet, Nick tells a thrilled Leanne about a hospital in Germany where they can treat people with Oliver’s condition. But their hope is short lived when the consultant breaks the news to Steve and Leanne that having obtained a second opinion, unfortunately it has only confirmed that Oliver will never be able to breathe unaided and the time has come to talk about switching off his life support.

PAUL AND BILLY GET VISIT FROM THE POLICE A police officer calls round and, having confirmed that the body was indeed that of Kel, asks Paul a series of questions. When Paul asserts that he’s not surprised Kel was murdered, the officer points out that he never said he was.

DAVID A downcast David tells Sally that after a visit from a structural engineer, it would seem that he’s responsible for the hole in the garden and it’ll cost at least £20k to fix. When Shona admits how much she enjoyed her night with David, Nina urges her to tell him.

David realises he has no choice but to sell.

ELSEWHERE Undertaker George Shuttleworth calls at the Rovers and apologises to Mary for being short with her earlier. Mary remains frosty but Emma can tell she’s taken a shine to him.

LEANNE AND STEVE LOOK FOR ANSWERS ABROAD Her shock turning to anger, Leanne accuses the consultant of giving up on Oliver and announces that she’s found a hospital in Germany that will be able to treat him. Leanne and Steve facetime the doctor in Germany and Steve is concerned when Leanne plays down the severity of Oliver’s case. Leanne won’t listen and is delighted when the doctor says he will treat Oliver.

ABI COMES CLEAN In the corner shop, Abi comes clean and explains to Debbie how she stole some morphine from the hospital after her accident, it reignited her drug addiction and Peter is simply trying to help her. How will she react?

SHONA HAS SOME NEWS FOR DAVID When David reveals he’s selling the house, Sarah’s gutted, pointing out the kids will be too. Shona calls at No.8 and on Nina’s advice, tells David how much she liked being with him the other night and how she feels ready to move back in with him. Will he agree?

ELSEWHERE When Billy tentatively asks Paul what makes him think Kel has been murdered and if he had anything to do with it, Paul becomes angry and defensive. Adam persuades Daniel to join him at the flat tomorrow evening for an online pub quiz.
