Episode 2469 (Thu 7th Jan 1999)

Life is a big gamble - especially if you're called Zak Dingle. For unknown to Lisa he takes his new-born on an important errand to Hotten - to the bookies. But in the excitement of winning an all or nothing bet the dozy dad, and his son Butch set off home - without baby Belle. And there's only one sure bet in this story - if Lisa finds out he's going to be in a load of trouble. Can Zak get out of his latest scrape? Kelly tears into Sarah when she visits the Post Office to offer words of comfort to Viv. Graham throws a paddy with Rachel when he learns she visited Steve at the remand centre. And Kim is panicked when Kathy informs her she may vary her story when she takes the witness stand at the forthcoming trial.
