With Gary Windass away in Bristol, Maria Connor is in bits when she's rushed to hospital with abdominal pains only to be told that she's lost their baby.

Meanwhile, Daniel Osborne's negligence around getting baby Bertie vaccinated has huge consequences when Bertie contracts measles – but that's not all.

When Ali Neeson diagnoses Maria with the same virus and the doctor agrees that's probably what caused the miscarriage, Gary is fuming and accuses Daniel of not being a good dad.

Elsewhere, Gemma Winter and Chesney Brown are at breaking point with the quads, but manage to get away for some alone time.

But when they see their FreshCo advert on the side of a bus and realise they've both been edited out, an emotional Gemma hits the roof.

Tim Metcalfe is in quite the predicament when Charlie suggest that maybe they give their marriage a proper shot. Sally Webster is furious to realise everyone knows about Tim's accidental bigamy.

Yasmeen Nazir starts to see through Geoff Metcalfe's scheming, and Steve McDonald and Tracy Barlow have to decide if their marriage is worth saving.
