GETTING ON THEIR WICKS
Kevin tries to get daughter Carly and Nico back together with a family meeting that ends violently.
IFyou believe that knees-up merchants Chas and Dave are genuine salt-of-the-earth East End geezers, then Kevin Wicks must be a real cheeky cockney chappie.

This motor-mouth has got so much rabbit-rabbit that the bunnies in Watership Down have applied for pet passports so they can escape the country and a ferocious ear-bashing.
Resurrected from "the dead" - at least according to his chancer son Deano - Kevin appeared briefly in the Square last night, on his way to Italy.
But a domestic involving his daughter Carly, her husband Nico and the rest of his highly-strung family requires all of Kev's diplomacy to put right.
And while veteran TV and film actor Phil Daniels is famous for his role as the singing salesman in Blur's hit video Parklife, the skills he needs as Kevin are more Henry Kissinger than Arfur Daley.
So he calls a meeting between the two families on Tuesday to try and address the difficulties in Carly and Nico's marriage. As a Relate session, it leaves a lot to be desired...
Led by his volatile dad Yanis - a restaurateur who can throw insults and smash plates along with the best of them - Nico's lot turn up mob-handed with at least three generations of Greek Cypriots who all want their say on the shortcomings of Carly.
Mediterranean tempers flare, East End barrow boys' fists fly, and there's a ruck in Pat's front room that drives a wedge between the families and rattles her chandeliers even more than Patrick did.
Although Carly and Nico finally make up, domineering dad Yanis then creates more trouble by making Nico an offer he can't refuse - his own restaurant in Cyprus.
Unfortunately, Carly can. It might be the 'Island Of Love', but she's fresh out of that!
Soapbox, Mirror.
So they dive in head first in a family's storyline we don't even know.
I reckon it is a gamble for EE.
