PlotEdit

Rita feels too old for aggravation but Sharon prepares to battle Nita. She is pleased when Sharon agrees to stay on at The Kabin after Leanne returns. Janice is horrified when the police arrive to help the Electricity Man cut off their supply as the bill hasn't been paid. She realises that Les must have spent the bill money as she gave it to him to pay. Natalie agrees to extend Sally's lease on the house for another three months. Roy takes Hayley to meet the local vicar, the Rev Whittaker, confident that they'll be allowed to marry but as Hayley suspects the vicar refuses to. Hayley tells Roy they don't need anyone's blessing for what's between them. Steve is interested to discover Vik is an accountant. Deirdre is surprised to find that Emily has taken Blanche back to her nursing home at her own request. Natalie annoys Lorraine by forcing her to serve Linda. Les gets a job helping Charlie West shovel manure. He returns home stinking and is attacked by Janice for having the electricity cut off. Nick and Leanne return from Canada with the news that Stephen Reid is getting married and he's arranged for Audrey and Gail to fly over for the wedding.
