Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) finds Bethany engrossed in writing an article, but when he enquires what it\u2019s about, she\u2019s evasive<\/a>. Bethany calls her publisher, but is disappointed when they make it clear they\u2019re not interested in her article.<\/p>\n

When Daniel reminds Bethany it\u2019s her turn to treat him to tea, she says she\u2019s too busy working on a deadline. But when she checks her bank balance and is concerned at the sight of her overdraft, she covers in front of mum Sarah.<\/p>\n

Bethany meets with Suki Waters (Laura Littlewood) from the Gazette, hoping to get work. Suki advises her to try Chit-Chat magazine as they may be looking for someone, but will Bethany apply, or will she confide in her loved ones?<\/p>\n

2. Tracy McDonald gives into temptation with Tommy Orpington<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Tracy begins an affair.<\/span><\/figcaption> ITV<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) is torn between spending time with football hero-turned decorator Tommy O and his own daughter Emma Brooker (Alexandra Mardell), having been invited to spend the week with her in France.<\/p>\n

As Steve leaves in his taxi, he watches with envy as Tommy is fawned over by Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell), Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) and Kirk Sutherland (Andrew Whyment).<\/p>\n

They try and drag Tommy to the pub, but Tracy sends them packing. It\u2019s clear there\u2019s a spark between her and Tommy, and the next day, she gives him a ticking off for lateness; but she\u2019s secretly thrilled when he compliments her outfit.<\/p>\n

Toyah Battersby (Georgia Taylor) enthuses over Tommy in the flower shop, and Mary Taylor (Patti Clare) suggests that Tracy should play matchmaker. But Tracy warns Toyah off by claiming Tommy is a womaniser and can\u2019t be trusted.<\/p>\n

Tommy later admits he fancies Tracy, and the pair kiss! Coronation Street have confirmed an affair is on the way, and actor Milburn told ITV<\/a> of his alter ego\u2019s attraction to Tracy: \u201cI think he likes her sparky nature, her quick retorts and her banter is very sharp.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe likes being kept on his toes. She\u2019s not an easy target in many ways. I just think that they seem to have this chemistry between them that none of them see coming.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Ed and Dee-Dee (Channique Sterling-Brown) return home, Michael accuses their dad of burning down the yard so he could claim the insurance, and Ed is devastated.<\/p>\n

Michael reveals he\u2019s told brother James (Nathan Graham) about the gambling debts and the fire. But Craig calls at the factory and tells Michael that the fire was started by an electrical heater, and he feels guilty but relieved that Ed is innocent. Will father and son reconcile?<\/p>
