Michael Bailey decides to use his sales bonus at work to make a grand gesture for Grace and his daughter Tianna, getting down on one knee and proposing.

But when he learns that Grace is planning on moving to Spain, he takes drastic action and ends up getting arrested when he's accused of child abduction by his ex.

Will the police be understanding of his plight?

Elsewhere, Leanne Battersby and Steve McDonald are devastated to learn the German surgeon won't operate on Oliver Battersby because his condition is too severe - not least because Steve has already organised selling his businesses.

But Nick Tilsley has other things on his mind, having recently discovered he has a son with ex-girlfriend Blakeman.

Meanwhile, Abi Franklin goes to fight her friend Peter Barlow's corner and Daniel Osbourne finally admits to his crimes.
