I had forgotten about Peggy having had cancer. Wondered what she was on about with Charlie.

Expanding on above a bit:-

Sean and Tanya are nearly caught
Airs on Monday, March 10 2008 at 20:00 GMT on BBC One
Bradley's celebrating his new job with Mickey, Gus and Clare and they're all suggesting how he should spend his money. Clare, however, immediately loses interested when he tells her that he has no intention to let another girl mess with his head.

Later, at the club, Garry, Gus and Mickey are vying for Clare's attention but the boys can't believe their eyes when she takes Bradley to one side and goes in for the kill… As Bradley puts his arm around her, Stacey spots them together, prompting her to snap at Steven who eventually leaves. As Stacey makes her way home, her and Clare's eyes lock…

Meanwhile, Sean's not happy when he finds Max's aftershave in the bedside drawer. The pair are taken by surprise when Max comes home from work early. Sean, however, looks like he's enjoying the possibility of being caught. Tanya makes Sean leave through the window and as Max gets upstairs, Sean's nowhere to be found. As Max starts hinting about the possibility of moving back into the bedroom, Sean lays under the bed, fuming at what he's hearing.

Sean arrives later that night and confronts Tanya about the 'happy family' act she's putting on, worried that it might lead to something more. Tanya reassures him and forces him to leave. Sean is left on the outside looking in at Max and Tanya cuddling up.

Elsewhere, Phil finds Shirley unconscious in her flat; Lucy's not impressed when she's forced to baby sit for Bobby; Heather blames herself for her argument with Shirley; Ronnie and Roxy return from their Austrian holiday; Abi's worried about Marge's health; Jane forgives Ian; and Shirley admits to the doctor that she's found a lump on her breast


Shirley burns her letter from the hospital
Airs on Tuesday, March 11 2008 at 19:30 GMT on BBC One
Max goes through the post and looks surprised when he sees a letter from Tanya's solicitor. He quickly pockets the correspondence and goes to speak with Tanya to ask if she's spoken to her solicitor to put the divorce proceedings on hold.

Sean looks on as Tanya continues with the façade of perfect family life. Stacey picks up on Sean's discomfort but he quickly dismisses her observations. Sean pulls Tanya to one side and asks her once and for all whether she intends to reunite with Max on a permanent basis. Tanya reiterates that she needs the money and it's the only way they can be together. Tanya's soon stuck between a rock and a hard place when she sees how good Max is being with the kids.

When Max shows Tanya the letter she received this morning confirming that the divorce proceedings are on hold, he suggests that they call off the divorce altogether. Tanya, however, asks Max to put his money when his mouth is and sign over the assets…

Meanwhile, Lucy's feeling left out of the family life as Peter is given a cooked breakfast, while she's left with 'manky milk'. Jane enlists Christian to look after the kids while she and Ian are away for the weekend. Uncle Christian, however, isn't looking forward to the prospect when he finds out that they want him to take them to Adventure Land.

Later, Lucy vows to Lauren that she'll make her dad 'pay' for the way he's treating her. When Ian returns home, he's gob-smacked to see that Lucy's had her belly button pierced. As a punishment, Ian takes away her favourite things: makeup and mobile phone. It's the final straw when Ian tells her that she can't go to the theme park any more. Lucy storms out of the door, only to be hauled back inside.

Elsewhere, Phil's not impressed when Ben starts singing songs from The Sound of Music; Ian practices his 'meeting the Queen' face; Shirley asks Phil for her job back; Marni pays Minty and 'Hazel' another visit; Shirley's reading her hospital letter when Norman waltzes into the flat and throws her out; Ben agrees to give boxing a go; and Shirley burns the letter from the hospital.


Minty and Heather begin to panic
Airs on Thursday, March 13 2008 at 19:30 GMT on BBC One
Tanya's on the phone to Sean arranging a secret rendezvous for them both. It's a close call as Max walks into the room, prompting Tanya to pass Sean off as a client. Max, however, isn't convinced – he's adamant that she was expecting an empty house.

Later, over drinks, Jane lays into Max about the way he's been treating Tanya. Tanya puts a stop to the jibing, stating that she's back with Max and that's final. Jack, meanwhile, wants to know what Max has told her that he doesn't know about. She duly explains to him about the night Max was locked in a coffin.

It's clear that Ben's not happy with the prospect of boxing and tells Phil that he's too ill. Ben soon brightens up when he realises that the boxing competition is only shadow boxing but Phil isn't impressed. Jack notices that atmosphere is tense between Phil and Jase as Jase warns Phil to watch how far he pushes him. Tensions rise, resulting in the pair entering the ring themselves. They only manage to land a couple of punches before the fight defuses.

When they return home, Ben confesses to his dad that he didn't enjoy watching him fight. Phil reassures Ben that he doesn't have to box if he doesn't want to – he's just proud watching Ben do things. When Phil leaves the room, Ben turns on the musical DVD… When Jase enters The Vic later, it's clear that the feud between the warring fathers is finally over.

Elsewhere, Minty and Heather revise for their question and answer session with Marni; Jase tells Phil that he's finished paying his 'debt''; Lucy posts and invite to a house party to her 357 friends; Ian's Buckingham Palace invites are delivered; Marni soon begins to question Minty and 'Hazel's relationship; Lucy listens to the music tape Ian gave her earlier in the day but Lucy shreds the invites to the Palace, pushing Ian over the edge…
