On Corrie this week, Maria drops the bombshell to Gary that she's pregnant, so he suggests they view the flat in Victoria Court that's up for rent.
Tyrone is suspicious when Gary shows off his flash 4x4, that he claims was acquired during a house clearance. Sarah is jealous when Gary presents Maria with the keys for the car, and soon realises that Maria is pregnant. After hearing the news from Sarah, Ali calls on Maria to warn her that Gary is a loan shark and that the furniture shop is just a front.
Elsewhere, Ken and Adam are shocked to find Daniel slumped on the floor clutching Bertie, in tears after watching Sinead's video about Bethany. Ken urges Daniel to pull himself together and face the world. During lunch with Peter and Adam in the Bistro, Daniel gets horribly drunk and then steps out in front of Cathy's car, sending him sprawling. Bethany is not convinced when Daniel regains consciousness and insists he's fine.
Meanwhile, while putting up a poster advertising Weatherfield Winter Wonderland in the corner shop, Big Garth spots Maria's designer handbag and assures her it's no fake and that it would have cost the best part of a grand.
Later in the week, Grace calls at Number 3 with Tianna. Michael, Grace and Tianna arrive at Big Garth's Winter Wonderland but they're hugely underwhelmed. When Grace smells alcohol on Santa's breath, she picks up Tianna and storms out. Michael returns to the Winter Wonderland and suggests that for 50% of the profits, he could turn it into a goldmine and Big Garth and Michael shake hands on the deal.
Also, Daniel thanks Bethany for coming to his rescue and her sound advice. A thoughtful James watches their exchange.
