Monday

Newcomer Ella starts work at the doctor's surgery

And it seems she's already making an impression on Liam!

Ella's already impressed Mandy by standing up to her former boss at the posh vets' do, then she wowed Manpreet, who offered her a job.

So the villagers have high expectations as she starts work at the surgery. She settles in immediately, and when Liam shows her the ropes, she's pleased.

Meanwhile, nurse Wendy is watching and detects a spark between their new employee and Dr Liam.

Could this be a new romance in the village?

Elsewhere new mum Dawn is feeling the strain of having three kids to look after and juggling everyone's needs.

She's appreciative when Bear is supportive as she breastfeeds her baby boy in the pub.

And later, Ella steps in, encouraging Dawn and giving her confidence. She really is proving to be a treasure already!

Elsewhere, Belle and Tom are gearing up for their wedding, which is just days away. But Tom's thrown to realise that Belle's not planning to take his surname.

Belle offers a reasonable explanation for her decision, leaving Tom unable to argue. Is the matter closed?



Tuesday

There's tension between groom Tom King and his bride Belle Dingle

Tom has been keeping a close eye on all the wedding prep (in fact, he's basically done all of it!).

In fact, it's all making us feeling a bit uneasy. Tom may be all sweetness and light, and he's clearly besotted with Belle but isn't he acting just a little bit... well, controlling?

And let's not forget how he reacted during the flashback episode when Belle turned down his first proposal.

Something's not right here - could Belle be making a big mistake?

Anyway, there was more evidence of Tom's controlling behaviour in yesterday's episode when he wasn't overly happy that Belle announced she was planning to keep her own name. Once a Dingle, after all, always a Dingle!

When Belle explained exactly why she wanted to keep her own name, Tom was unable to argue his point, and he agreed that it was fine (erm, of course it is!).

But the next day, he isn't feeling so chipper and he's still brooding over Belle's decision.

The bride and groom-to-be have a long chat about it all, and Belle realises it's very important to her future husband. So, eager to make him happy, she agrees - she'll take his name and become Mrs King.

But has she just given in - again - to his demands? And will she live to regret being so eager to please?

Is this marriage really going to be Belle's happy ever after?


Wednesday

Ruby's on the prowl

She's found out what's been going on between Caleb and Tracy and she's not going to let things lie.

In fact, she's on a mission!

When Ruby and Caleb head out together, it's Tracy who spots them and is hurt, though she pretends she's totally FINE with it all.

But hanging out with her ex-husband is all part of Ruby's plan! Later she corners son Nicky in the pub and asks his advice about how to win Caleb back.

And she seems to have put the first part of the plan into action when she spots Caleb having a sneaky chat with Tracy after dark, in the street. Ruby watches from the shadows. It's clear she's got something in mind - and it's not going to be pretty!

Elsewhere, tempers are fraying as Belle plans a night at Wishing Well cottage ahead of her wedding to Tom.

But the bride's emotional because neither of her parents will be with her on her big day and even suggests cancelling.

Tom, though, is NOT impressed with that idea. He reminds Belle that his parents won't be there either and storms off in a mood.

Is the wedding off?!

THURSDAY

It's Belle Dingle and Tom King's big day But with the groom having stormed off and the bride emotional, is it going to be a disaster?

Belle's frantic as Tom ignores her calls and doesn't even know if the wedding is going ahead. Lydia and Mandy - Belle's bridesmaids - try to reassure her but she's convinced it's all off.

Uh-oh!

Fortunately though, Tom eventually messages to say it's on! Belle gets ready and she's thrilled when Sam arrives just in the nick of time to give her away and brings a letter from her late mum, Lisa, with him,

Tom's not quite so happy though, being frustrated by the Dingles' quirks as the ceremony begins. Erm, does he really know what he's letting himself in for?!

After a few hiccups though, the ceremony goes off without a hitch and the pair tie the knot.

Belle and Tom take some time to greet their guests after the ceremony, including Tom's uncle Jimmy King and his wife Nicola.

They've come along to celebrate, despite their daughter Angelica facing prison after killing Heath Hope in a car accident.

At the reception, the rowdy Dingle festivities start to get on Tom's nerves. And he's even less happy when Ruby gets going...

Meanwhile, at the reception Ruby is putting her vengeful plan into action. She causes an awkward atmosphere and then interrupts the reception.

Getting to her feet, Ruby announces that Caleb and Tracy have been having an affair!

As the wedding descends into chaos, Tom's fuming that the Dingles have ruined his big day. And wedding planner Suzy is frantically trying to put things right - so she's grateful when Mary offers to help.


Friday

Tracy's feeling the shock of Ruby's revenge

Ruby has really made her presence felt in the Dingle family since she arrived to win back her ex-husband Caleb.

So she was NOT happy when she discovered that Caleb had been having a steamy romance with his own nephew's wife - Tracy Robinson.

Quite quickly Ruby realised she had to play dirty to get her own back. And her scheming all came to a head at Belle and Tom's wedding in yesterday's episode.

As the reception got underway, Ruby stood up to make an announcement.

And the shocked family all listened as she told everyone that Caleb had been having an affair with Tracy!

Ouch!

So it's no surprise that as the next day dawns, Tracy is still reeling with everyone knowing her and Caleb's dirty secret.

And there are more shocks in store, too!

Elsewhere, Caleb is more worried about his family and he is really eager to make it up to them.

But, considering his actions have just blown nephew Nate's marriage apart, how keen will the Dingles be to let him back into the family fold?

Meanwhile, he gets some advice from an unlikely source regarding how to make it up to brother Cain.

It's young Kyle who offers to help. But what does he tell Caleb to do? And will it be enough to make up for all the trouble he's caused?
