PlotEdit

Toyah moves into the Rovers. Mark can't bear to look at Linda. The Underworld girls take Linda on a hen party, trawling pubs and clubs and giving driver Vik a hard time. Sarah gets excited about a new after-school club, working on a school magazine but Gail points out she has to look after Bethany after school. When Linda is dared to kiss a gorgeous barman, she wins his agreement by giving him a huge tip. Eileen tries to get off with a bouncer whilst Bobbi throws up. Alma realises Mark is distraught at the thought of Mike marrying Linda and, assuming he thinks she's a gold digger, urges him to allow Mike some happiness. Alma is stunned when he tells her that he's been sleeping with Linda. Sally wins Danny round by suggesting they go on a romantic holiday together. Alma is disgusted with Mark for betraying Mike. He is adamant that he loves her and doesn't know what to do.
