The doctor tells Gail the only way Joe will get through the next few weeks is with her full support - Gail lets Joe know that she will be there for him but later admits to Audrey she's not sure she can deal with Joe's addiction and is feeling trapped.

With the wedding just days away Eddie shows Steve his grand design for the wedding cake but Steve's unimpressed and is distracted by seeing Becky with Slug again. Unbeknownst to Steve, Slug demands cash from Becky and when she's not forthcoming he threatens to turn up at her wedding.

Tony apologises to Michelle and they agree to put their differences behind them - just in time it seems as Maria and baby Liam arrive back from Ireland. Tony's delight is evident but shortlived when Maria drops the bombshell that she's thinking of moving to Ireland.

Elsewhere Rosie threatens to withdraw her investment if Luke doesn't stop sniffing round Michelle. To appease her Luke promises to market her underwear designs.

Maria and Tony pussyfoot round each other, neither daring to admit their true feelings. Michelle's delighted to see Maria and the baby and suggests that she could rent No.7 from her when she moves to Ireland. Maria's non-committal, still unsure if the move is what she really wants. Maria finally opens up and admits to Fiz that she's in love with Tony and romantic Fiz reckons she should just tell him.

It's a bad day for Ashley who first has to cope with Graeme building a 'Blackpool Tower' out of sausages. A sensitive Ashley accuses him of taking the mickey out his vasectomy. But worse is to come when Claire makes it evident she is looking forward to a romantic night in and Ashley is sure his guilt will affect his performance.

Elsewhere Becky arranges for Jim to attend the wedding as a surprise for Steve. Steve's concerned, wondering what she's up to, convinced her secretive behaviour has something to do with Slug.

Thursday 13th August

Unaware of the events of the previous evening Michelle lets herself into No.7. Maria quickly chucks a blanket on the sofa and pretends Tony spent the night there. Michelle's none the wiser but the close shave prompts Maria and Tony to agree they must work out a way to tell Michelle how they've fallen in love.

But the plan doesn't quite work out when Michelle and Ryan arrive home later only to be confronted by Tony and Maria snogging on the sofa. Michelle's furious with Tony and Maria pointing out that Liam's barely cold in his grave. Tony tries to defend their actions but Michelle storms out in disgust.

Becky's thrilled when she gets a call telling her she's won the honeymoon competition and they're off on the trip of a lifetime. As her hen night starts Becky sticks to soft drinks, determined she's not going to mess up her wedding again.

Steve's stag night is not quite such a sober affair as Ashley's on a mission to get drunk - unable to face telling Claire the truth about the vasectomy. Steve is also still concerned about Slug and confronts Becky about her furtive phone calls. Becky gets upset and explains how she was trying to get Jim along to the wedding as a surprise.

Meanwhile Lloyd's fed up that he's still had no word from Liz, unaware that she and Andy have arrived at Piccadilly Station and are on their way to the Rovers.

Friday 14th August
It's the day of Becky and Steve's second wedding. Becky is determined nothing is going to spoil this one as best man Lloyd helps Steve get ready for the big day and things get off to a great start for the groom when his mum and brother arrive at the Rovers.

Meanwhile over the road Hayley and Natasha help an excited and, more importantly, sober Becky with her wedding dress, hair and make-up, whilst Eddie puts the finishing touches to Steve and Becky's wedding cake and he and Anna deliver it to the Rovers for the reception.

Despite some pre wedding nerves from Becky the stage is set for a fabulous day and when Jim arrives at the last minute Becky and Steve feel nothing can go wrong and prepare to make their vows.

But neither had banked on Slug and Hooch's revenge and as the happy couple return to the pub for their reception the nightmare that awaits them makes Becky's drunken antics at their first wedding pale into insignificance as the police announce they are searching the pub for drugs.

The McDonalds and their assembled guests are horrified to discover that the police are searching the entire premises and even more shocked when they find what they are looking for and arrest a devastated Becky. Steve reassures Becky and tells her he will stand by her but she realises that he has automatically assumed she is guilty and is gutted as she is taken away by the police.

But when he later discovers that Becky had really won the dream honeymoon and not paid for it by breaking the law he feels guilty and heads off to the station to support her.

At the station Hooch is crowing over Becky's arrest and she soon realises that he was behind the whole thing - but with no way to prove it she finds herself spending her wedding night in a cell.
