As Liz (Beverley Callard) arrives at the registry office she’s getting nervous that Steve (Simon Gregson) hasn’t managed to get hold of Deidre (Anne Kirkbride) to tell her not to send the guests home. He finally manages to find her and they start to herd everyone back in but the guests are shocked as a bloodied Vernon (Ian Reddington) hobbles down the aisle supported by a dishevelled and bewildered Liz. As they arrive at the pub which is tastelessly decked out for the wedding reception, Vernon is elated and completely oblivious to the fact that Liz was about to call off the wedding. Liz reveals to Deidre that she just couldn't bring herself to dump Vernon when he took such a beating for her and she’s realised she doesn’t need danger and excitement, she's too old for all that: she's a grandmother and she needs love and respect and Vernon will give her that, but Deirdre’s not convinced. Vernon breaks down during his groom's speech and Liz takes over telling her guests that Vernon is the kindest man in the world and she's proud to be the new Mrs Vernon Tomlin. Is she trying to convince herself? Carla (Alison King) has returned from her trip to Paris and is boasting about the possibilty of going to the Maldives with Tony. Liam (Rob James-Collier) and Maria (Samia Smith) can't bear to listen to her any longer, and sneak out to the back yard of the pub for the countdown. As they watch the fireworks together they agree to take a mini-break of their own. They seem very loved up, but will the new year bring happy times for Liam and Maria? Elsewhere, Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) gets totally sloshed and ends up snogging Dev (Jimmi Harkishin) as the clock strikes twelve and Becky (Katherine Kelly) ignores Kirk's (Andrew Whyment) attempt to kiss her and plants a big smacker on Jason (Ryan Thomas). Will the new year see a new romance for the heart-broken builder? This episode is written by Damon Rochefort, produced by Steve Frost and directed by Pip Short.
