MONDAY

Jay Brown has been staying the night with Lola lookalike Nadine, as it's the only way the grieving husband has been able to sleep.

Ever since his wife Lola Pearce Brown tragically died from a brain tumour, Jay has found it impossible to open up about his torment over her death.

After waking up at Nadine's, Jay is stunned when he finds a bag of ketamine on her bedside table.

Confronting her over the discovery, Jay is shocked when Nadine isn't bothered by his alarm, telling him that the illegal drugs help her cope with her troubles. She points out that it could help him with his difficulties, too.

Jay sneaks back home and Ben Mitchell is annoyed to find out that he's been out all night again, not knowing the truth about what he's been up to.

Ben's husband Callum Highway has spotted Jay going into Nadine's house and he takes Jay aside to confront him.

Reassuring Callum that he's not paying Nadine for sex, Jay reveals that he's been sleeping at hers, as it's been a comfort.

Callum is sceptical about Jay's explanation and he later visits Nadine to warn her off Jay, explaining all about Lola's death.

When Ben makes Jay feel bad for not spending enough time with Lola's daughter Lexi Pearce, Jay plans to make her a special meal as a treat.

But things are starting to escalate for Jay as his grief eats away at him and he visits Nadine to score some ketamine...

Sharon Watts has had her head turned by hunky boxing promoter Dorian, as he's been getting very flirty with her!

When he asks her out to the Vic to talk a bit of business, she coyly agrees. Needing someone to babysit her son Albie, Sharon puts aside her doubts about Albie's dad Keanu Taylor and asks him if he wants to take care of Albie.

Although Keanu is pleased to have his son for a bit, when he sees Sharon all glammed up for her business 'date' with Dorian, it leaves him rattled.

In the Vic, Dorian continues extolling the virtues of life in Abu Dhabi, saying they're crying out for gym managers. He tells Sharon that he's heard about a job that would be perfect for, suggesting she jump at the chance.

What will Sharon say?

Rocky Cotton is really on his uppers and he needs cash fast! He's been stalling wife Kathy Cotton on why he hasn't transferred his share of the loan repayment money.

Fibbing to Kathy that he hasn't had his car lot wages from Jay Brown yet, Rocky heads out on a mission, slipping into the bookies to try and win the cash he needs.

Rocky's mate Harvey Monroe sees Rocky going in and decides to join him to have a flutter.

He has no clue how high the stakes are for Rocky, thinking it's just a bit of fun...

Also, Nugget Gulati's mobile phone has been found in the canal, leading the police to suspect that something bad might have happened. After passing the news on to Nugget's distraught dad Ravi Gulati, they reveal they're going to dredge the canal to look for clues...


TUESDAY

Keanu Taylor has been simmering with anger ever since he realised Sharon Watts was out on a business 'date' with boxing promoter Dorian!

Sharon left their son Albie with Keanu while she went out for drinks and when Keanu sees Dorian giving her flowers - and a kiss - he's not happy!

In petty revenge, Keanu takes Albie out for the day without telling Sharon where they've gone. When Sharon finds out that Keanu has disappeared with Albie, she is horrified!

Stalking round to the Taylors, she confronts Keanu's defiant mum Karen Taylor and kicks up a fuss, threatening to call the police unless Keanu returns home soon with her son.

Before Sharon can whip out her phone to dial 999, Keanu turns up with Albie. Full of relief but fuming with Keanu for playing games, Sharon demands to know where he's been.

Has Keanu just set himself up for a whole heap of trouble?

Callum Highway and Ben Mitchell are pleased that Jay Brown has spent the night at home for once. Since his wife Lola Pearce's death from a brain tumour, he's been disappearing late at night and not returning until the morning.

After Callum found out that he was staying with escort Nadine, he confronted Jay, who revealed he was only going to her place to sleep.

With things seemingly back on track, Jay's stepdaughter Lexi Pearce excitedly arranges a night in with all her dads and a pizza and a movie.

Although he's putting on a brave face for Lexi's sake, Jay is feeling even more desperate than ever and he he's soon heading over to Nadine's.

He's intercepted by Callum, who is not buying his excuses about why he's there. Trying to fob off Callum as quick as possible, Jay drops the bag of ketamine that he scored from Nadine.

When Callum realises that Jay is on drugs, he's appalled. Jay begs him not to tell Ben but Callum insists he needs to know the truth.

Ravi Gulati is in a desperate way following the disappearance of his son Nugget Gulati. After finding out the truth about killer Ravi's deadly secret, Nugget packed a bag and did a runner.

Returning from another night searching for his son, Ravi is relieved to finally recieve a text from him telling him that he's safe.

Grasping at straws, Ravi hotfoots it to the police to say he's had a text and pushes them to try and track Nugget's location.

Unconvinced that the text really is from Nugget, as it's from an anonymous phone, the police tell a devastated Ravi that it could be a hoax and there's nothing they can do...

Also, Harvey Monroe clocks Rocky Cotton paying yet another visit to the bookies and hes' worried that his gambling habit is taking hold again. Trying to laugh it off, Rocky insists he's just having a bit of fun but he later heads back to the betting shop to place a ?100 bet.


WEDNESDAY

Keanu Taylor is feeling worried about winding up Sharon Watts the day before. After finding out she'd been on a date with boxing promoter Dorian, he took their son Albie out for the day without telling her where they were going!

When he returned, a panicking Sharon laid into him and things got nasty. Keanu apologises for his actions, hoping that it won't cause problems with him seeing his son.

An unimpressed Sharon tells Keanu that she wants to arrange a meeting with a third party arbitrator to talk about Albie's childcare going forward.

Sharon and her solicitor sit down in the meeting with a worried Keanu, who has brought along his mum Karen Taylor.

Keanu is horrified when Sharon drops a MASSIVE bombshell!

Furious with Sharon, Karen later has a shouting match with her in the Queen Vic.

Determined not to let Sharon win, when Karen returns home she tells Keanu that she has a plan to ensure he gets to see Albie whenever he wants...

Ben Mitchell has been trying to get his head round Jay Brown's recent actions. Although it's clear that Jay is full of grief, it's been pointless trying to get through to him.

Realising that there's nothing more that Jay's friends and family can do to help, Ben tells husband Callum Highway that Jay should be seeing a grief counsellor.

Knowing that Jay won't take advice from Ben when it comes to how he feels about his late wife Lola Pearce Brown, Callum offers to talk to him instead.

But even Callum's voice of reason is enough to wind up Jay...

Completely in denial, Jay kicks off and heads out to see Nadine, hell bent on scoring more drugs.

Harvey Monroe is very impressed when best mate Rocky Cotton reveals he's had a big win on the gee-gees!

After previously voicing his concerns that Rocky's gambling habit may be rearing it's ugly head again, Harvey was reassured by Rocky's insistence that he's not got a problem.

It's soon clear that Rocky is kidding himself if he thinks he's not fallen back into addiction, as he heads off to place more bets.

Things are about to get serious, however, when it turns out boxing promoter Dorian is dodgy...

He hints to Rocky that the boxing night is fixed and if he places a bet it will make him serious cash.

Is Rocky about to lose everything?


THURSDAY

Sharon Watts had trouble moving on from Keanu Taylor, even though she's made out she's fine.

The on-off couple were due to get married but when Sharon betrayed Keanu over his daughter Peggy Mitchell, Keanu told Sharon things were over between them.

After Sharon had a 'date' with boxing promoter Dorian, Keanu was wound up. But was it just because he has concerns over seeing their son Albie or was he jealous?

Keanu's mum Karen Taylor has a plan to make sure that he has as much time as he wants with Albie. He's already in bits that he can't see daughter Peggy, who is in Portugal with mum Louise Mitchell and gran Lisa Fowler, and Karen vows not to let it happen again.

It seems that Sharon might not be as 'over' Keanu as she's making out when she confides in Kathy Cotton that she's still in love with her onetime toyboy!

Confessing that she's confused, she admits she's not sure if he ever loved her or whether he just got back with her on his return to Walford because he wanted access to to his son.

Denzel Danes is gutted that his best mate Nugget Gulati has run away from home.

Nugget packed a bag and skipped Walford after finding out that his killer dad Ravi Gulati had done something unforgiveable.

With no word from his friend, Denzel hopes that appealing to him via social media might push him to get in touch.

Gathering Nugget's friends and loved ones together, he streams a vigil for Nugget in the Square gardens, begging him to come home.

Almost at the point of giving up hope of finding his son, an exhausted Ravi thinks the whole stunt is pointless.

Suki Panesar and Vinny Panesar try to comfort him and insist that Denzel's post could bring Nugget back to them safe and sound.

Rocky Cotton and Harvey Monroe feign disinterest when boxing promoting Dorian encourages them to come to the Pie, Pint and a Punch Up night at the Boxing Den.

Heading into the Queen Vic instead, the pals have a game of darts. It's not long before gambling addict Rocky is sneaking off to place a secret bet on the game and he lays some serious cash down.

Realising his mate has gone awol, Harvey tracks down Rocky and has a go at him for breaking his promise not to place any more bets.

Will he tell Rocky's wife Kathy Cotton the truth?
