Sally (Sian Reeves) continues to play the woeful housewife, but after over-hearing her spearheading a heated conversation with Vincent (Antony Byrne) on the phone, Laurel (Charlotte Bellamy) is left sceptical of the truth behind their separation. Suspicion aroused, Laurel airs her concerns to Ashley (John Middleton) about Sally’s inconsistency, and after failing to get any reaction other than sorrow for his ex, a frustrated Laurel takes it upon herself to address the matter with a coy Sally. Later, Ashley returns home to be confronted with an announcement from Sally that she will be out of their hair by the end of the week. She's pleased when it causes tension between him and Laurel.

Also, Gennie (Sian Reese-Williams) leaves Faye (Kim Thomson) curious after talking about Katie’s (Sammy Winward) chequered past.
Holly (Sophie Powles) continues to toy with Aaron (Danny Miller) who is still in constant pursuit of her.

Wednesday 14 October
Sally (Sian Reeves) notices the tension between Ashley (John Middleton) and Laurel (Charlotte Bellamy), who is still furious that Ashley lied for Sally. Attempting to appease the situation with Laurel, Sally asks if they can talk. Laurel suggests that Sally needs to speak to Vincent if she ever hopes to move on and feels reassured when Sally agrees. However, when Ashley arrives, Sally starts crying and tells him that Laurel is furious with her for not going back to Vincent and has pressured her to call. Ashley is left defending Sally’s decision not to call Vincent and furious Laurel calls Vincent herself and arranges to meet him. Will Laurel go through with her arrangement to meet Vincent?
Elsewhere, a narked Jai (Chris Bisson) gives himself the day off after Nikhil (Rik Makarem) undermines him in front of the factory staff. Complaining to Faye (Kim Thomson) about his brother’s attitude, Nikhil is left seething when Jimmy (Nick Miles) arrives to hand over the signed contract that Jai had given him earlier. Later, when Jai returns to the office, a furious Nikhil confronts his actions. Having heard enough of Nikhil’s lecture, Jai is pushed to reveal that he is actually the owner of the company having bought their father out. Nikhil is left stunned will he ever forgive his brother?
Also, Faye tells Ryan (James Sutton) to invite Katie (Sammy Winward) round for dinner to get to know her better

Thursday 15 October [1]
Vincent (Antony Byrne) arrives in the village early for his meeting with Laurel (Charlotte Bellamy) and waits for her at the pub. However, when Nicola (Nicola Wheeler) spots him and quips that Sally (Sian Reeves) is taking advantage of the Thomas’ good will by staying at Mulberry Cottage. Furios that Ashley (John Middleton) lied to him, Vincent storms over to Mulberry. As Douglas (Duncan Preston)does his best to try and shepherd Vincent out, Sally returns. As an argument breaks out between the estranged couple, Doug goes to find Ashley, who arrives back to find Vincent being very aggressive towards a vulnerable Sally. Laurel spots the commotion and races in behind her husband to witness an irate Vincent bearing down on his wife. Outnumbered and incensed, Vincent squares up to Ashley, leaving Laurel feeling terrible for doubting Sally. Was Sally telling the truth about Vincent?
Meanwhile, the impending dinner with her son’s new beau has Faye (Kim Thomson) on edge, so she goes to the Woolpack for a quick drink to settle her nerves. The conversation at the bar is quick to turn to Katie (Sammy Winward) and Ryan’s (James Sutton) blossoming romance and Bob (Tony Audenshaw) reveals a few of Katie’s skeletons to a concerned Faye. Later, after Katie receives a barrage of pointed questions from Faye over dinner, Katie soon becomes wise to her motives. Fed up of her prying, Katie angrily reels off details of her chequered past before making her excuses and leaving. Furious with his mother, Ryan follows in quick pursuit, leaving Faye clearly uncomfortable. Will Katie’s past spoil her future with Ryan?
Elsewhere in the village, Natasha (Amanda Donohoe) is livid with Mark (Maxwell Caulfield) for showing a vested interest in Katie’s meal with Ryan and Faye, biting that his focus should remain on his family closer to home. Taking Natasha’s comments on board, Mark tracks down Nathan (Lyndon Ogbourne) in the Woolpack. Offering him an olive branch Mark tells Nathan that he’s booked them a game of golf and that he would like him to come to a family dinner later on that evening. Will Nathan accept his father's attempts of reconciliation?
Also, Aaron (Danny Miller) helps out at Butler’s Farm hoping for a chance to see Holly (Sophie Powles)

Thursday 15 October [2]
Vincent (Antony Byrne) lunges towards Ashley (John Middleton) sending him off balance. Regaining his composure, Ashley makes his own rush towards Vincent aiming to propel him out of the door. Confused by Sally’s (Sian Reeves) self-pity, Vincent refuses to leave without her and thumps Ashley on the nose. Playing the martyr, Sally claims that this is what she has had to put up with for years. Dejected and bemused at his wife’s comments, a beaten Vincent walks away, leaving Ashley consoling a weeping Sally on the doorstep. Feeling guilt-ridden Laurel confesses all to a furious Ashley in private, before admitting her actions to Doug (Duncan Preston) and Sally. The atmosphere is tense in the house as Sally appears on the stairs with her suitcase. Will Laurel apologise for her misjudgement and ask Sally to stay?
Meanwhile, as Katie (Sammy Winward) is attempting to justify her past to Ryan (James Sutton), Mark (Maxwell Caulfield) approaches them both, curious as to why they aren’t enjoying their dinner with Faye (Kim Thomson). Ryan explains that things didn’t quite go according to plan and on impulse, Mark heads over to Tenants Cottage. Mark questions a perplexed Faye on the evening’s antics and invites himself in for a drink. Sensing there is more to the visit than meets the eye, Faye uses the opportunity to get close and starts to talk about their early days together. Deep in conversation, Faye holds Mark’s gaze and for a moment, he takes her hand before pulling away. Faye continues to reel Mark in by telling him all about her and Ryan’s life together in his absence before he leaves. Is Mark starting to fall for Faye?
Elsewhere, Pollard (Chris Chittell) accepts a lead for a new cleaning contract from Nathan (Lyndon Ogbourne) on behalf of a reluctant David (Matthew Wolfenden). However, Pollard warns David to remain suspicious of his motives for helping, whilst an oblivious Leyla (Rokhsaneh Ghawam-Shahidi) is clearly impressed with Nathan’s good deed and expresses her gratitude.

Friday 16 October
Dressed to the nines, Faye (Kim Thomson) is glad to have the excuse of paying Katie (Sammy Winward) a visit at Home Farm to apologise for her behaviour. Faye is pleased to see that her presence has clearly rattled both Nathan (Lyndon Ogbourne) and Natasha (Amanda Donohoe). Livid at Faye’s impromptu visit , Natasha later tells Mark (Maxwell Caulfield) that she was blatantly hoping to bump into him. Later Mark is thrown when he arrives to confront Faye and she answers the door looking stunning. Teasing that he can’t stay away, they both go inside and a pacing Mark lets his façade slip ranting that Faye has been using Cain (Jeff Hordley) to make him jealous. Coolly registering his torment, a moment passes between them before Faye shows Mark the door leaving him desperately fighting his feelings and her struggling to keep a check on her own emotions. Will Mark continue to play such a dangerous game?
Elsewhere, the Bishop (Peter Cartwright) pays Ashley (John Middleton) a visit to question his interference in Vincent (Antony Byrne) and Sally’s (Sian Reeves) marriage.

Under duress she agrees and Ashley is left infuriated that Sally is being forced to return to an unhappy marriage.
At the farm shop, David (Matthew Wolfenden) grudgingly agrees when Leyla (Rokhsaneh Ghawam-Shahidi) praises Nathan for securing him a lucrative cleaning contract. Moments later, Nathan interrupts them and David reluctantly thanks him for his efforts. Pleased to have the upper hand, Nathan offers to buy David a drink to celebrate but he awkwardly insists he's too busy to accept.
