THE ROVERS REOPENS IN STYLE Jenny, Daisy, Sean, Glenda and Gemma head to the Rovers armed with boxes of booze. Jenny and Daisy look proudly on as the locals muck in and prepare the pub for the grand reopening. Gary hangs Betty’s picture back on the wall in pride of place. As Jenny, Glenda, Sean and Gemma compare their bad taste outfits in readiness for the evening ahead but one resident is less than impressed with the costume.
DANIEL’S AULD ACQUAINTANCE IS NOT FORGOT As Daniel heads home, his face lights up when he spots Bethany. Jenny urges Daisy to go and find Daniel and patch things up with a New Year’s kiss. What will she find? At the countdown to midnight, everyone heads out of the pub and joins Glenda in singing ‘Auld Lang Syne’.
ADAM AND SARAH HAVE AN UNEXPECTED NEW YEAR DATE Adam drops Harry off with Sarah. Noting that she’s dressed to the nines, Adam assumes she’s got a date and quickly pretends that he’s got one too. In the bistro, Adam and Sarah admit that neither of them has a hot date lined up. When Adam offers to buy her a glass of Champagne, Sarah accepts and it’s clear they still fancy each other.
ED FACES FURTHER REJECTION Dee-Dee tells Ed that he can’t kip on her sofa forever and they need to call a family meeting to come up with a solution.
ELSEWHERE Stu tells Yasmeen and Alya that he doesn’t want Eliza blaming herself for her Dad’s disappearance so it’s best if he tells her the truth. Yasmeen tells Stu that it’s probably best if he doesn’t confess all to Eliza as he’s the only family she has now and she’d be terribly hurt.
