Vicki points out that Janice (Vicky Entwistle) is being somewhat hypocrital bearing in mind Roger worked in France. Meanwhile, Joanne (Zaraah Abrahams) is getting increasingly upset and stuns Hayley (Julie Hesmondhalgh) with a confession.New to the street, the Mortons are less interested in the trial verdict and more excited about planning Darryl (Jonathan Dixon) and Mel's (Emma Edmondson) 18th birthday party.
