Tracy Barlow and Steve McDonald are shocked to realise that Amy Barlow has been lying to them an hasn't been for her twelve week scan. They promise to support her no matter what, but when it's revealed who the father is, they are stunned.

Tyrone Dobbs is grateful for Mary Taylor's offer to help with childcare, but soon Kevin Webster is ribbing him for it, saying Mary has a crush.

When Tyrone finds a Valentine's card from a mystery admirer on his door mat, he starts to worry Kevin might be right.

Now let's recap on what's happening this week.

Chemma (that's Chesney Brown and Emma Brooker, FYI) makes way for Chemma (Chesney and Gemma Winter) to blossom

Watching the two of them hug it out after Chesney stages an impressive rescue mission to get Gemma and her brother Paul Forman out of the back of a locked van, Emma decides to take a step back, and let the two of them be together. You can't fight true love, right?

But as Gemma flaunts her conquest in front of Gemma, she can't be sure she's made the right choice.

As the date of Jenny Bradley's court date looms, she's copes (or rather, doesn't cope) by hitting the bottle and ordering everyone out of the pub. Liz McDonald is her surprising savior.

But when the day rolls around, Liz is nowhere to be seen. Steve McDonald panics as the police put out a search for her.

Brian Packham and Cathy Matthews decide that they will by the Kabin. But they are certainly not prepared for Rita Tanner's reaction to the news.
