Andy's rage mounts
Airs on Monday, June 9 2008 at 19:00 BST on ITV1
Diane organises a birthday party for Sarah but is unable to convince Debbie to attend. However, Debbie asks her to pass onto Andy that she’ll be over to Butlers with a gift for Sarah later.
When Diane reveals her party plans to Jo and Andy, Jo is thrilled – Andy less so, explaining that he feels bad not having organised something himself. When Andy gets back, he’s less than pleased to find Debbie waiting there.
All attempts to be polite go out of the window when he sees that she’s bought the original dolls’ house for Sarah. His fury mounting, is Andy about to get handy with his fists once more?
Elsewhere, after being up all night comforting Arthur, both Ashley and Doug are worried by the fact that Laurel’s practically ignoring the baby. When one of his parishioners asks to see him, Ashley asks Laurel if she can watch Arthur.
A still-reluctant Laurel argues that she has to go shopping so Doug steps in to help. With Laurel resisting all attempts to bond with Arthur, are the couple destined to lose another baby?
Andy catches Jo speaking to Sam
Airs on Tuesday, June 10 2008 at 19:00 BST on ITV1
As Andy struggles to fix Sarah’s dolls house, Jo loses patience, berating him for taking his temper out on his daughter’s present. As she goes upstairs to get Sarah, she warns him that he’d better get his story straight for when she sees what he’s done. As Andy tells Sarah how clumsy he’s been, Jo reluctantly joins in and assures her that it will be mended in no time. Jo remains annoyed.
Later, Andy turns his attentions back to demanding that Jo sacks Sam. When she reacts reluctantly, Andy is insistent. When she later sits down with Sam, he questions what happened to the dolls' house. Feeling increasingly alone, will Jo break her silence to Sam?
Elsewhere, Ashley is still struggling to encourage Arthur to eat. Jake advises him that he was always a bit pernickety unless it was Mel doing the feeding. Back at Mulberry Cottage Laurel still refuses to help with Arthur and reaffirms her belief that he won’t be settled until he’s back with Mel. Meanwhile, over at Tenants, Greg gives Mel the ‘good news’ that he’s found a buyer for the house but is his wife ready to leave Arthur and the village behind?
Meanwhile, concerned that David’s been less than eager to return any of her messages, Sharon steps up her mission to pin him down. Noticing that he’s throwing himself into work, she uses her contacts and announces that she’s found a high profile client – a WAG who needs her city centre apartment cleaning. Reluctant, David slopes off to meet with her and returns having picked up a new client.
Later in the Woolpack, Nicola is annoyed when Sharon and David come in together. Has she a serious rival on her hands?
Laurel's furious when Ashley calls for Mel's help
Airs on Wednesday, June 11 2008 at 19:00 BST on ITV1
Short of sleep and concerned for Arthur’s lack of appetite, Ashley is on his knees. As he desperately tries again to feed him, creating an atmosphere of calm with the curtains closed and music playing, nothing works. Realising that he has only one option, Ashley visits Mel and pleads his case.
Immediately realising that Arthur’s needs come first, Mel heads back with him. Responding to her, Arthur begins to eat. However, when Laurel enters, she’s furious to see that Ashley has called in Mel to help as it’s not fair on anyone. Has Ashley made the wrong decision all along?
Elsewhere, Scarlett packs to spend six weeks in Canada with Carrie and Lexi begins to feel very much alone. Realising that she has no job and few friends she goes to the Woolpack, tail between her legs, and asks Diane for her job back.
Dealing her short shrift for leaving them in the lurch, Diane sends her on her way, explaining that Jasmine’s doing a fine job in her place. David suggests that she can always take a cleaning job, leaving Lexi less than impressed, but can beggars be choosers?
Over at Butlers, Andy acknowledges that he was a little hard on Sam but insists that they simply can’t afford to keep anyone on, Jo takes advantage of his reasonable mood and brings up the dolls house. Andy concedes that Debbie didn’t mean anything by buying the gift and later shocks her by apologising when he drops off Sarah. Is Andy ready to let go of his recent anger?
Ashley is torn
Airs on Thursday, June 12 2008 at 19:00 BST on ITV1
When Mel turns up to see how Arthur is, Ashley admits that he’s not really eaten anything since she left the previous day. As Mel picks him up and suggests she feed him again, Ashley is torn between Arthur’s welfare and Greg’s steely words the night before.
Meanwhile, Greg is annoyed that Mel has been with the baby once again and when she accuses him of not caring he pointedly reminds her that he’s not theirs and never has been. Regretting his bluntness, Greg is at his wit’s end but will Mel ever be able to accept that Arthur is no longer theirs?
Over at the pub, when Jake orders a pint bang on 12 noon, Jasmine jokingly remarks that it’s a bit early. Lamenting that he doesn’t have that much else to do, she reckons on an idea. When she spots Marlon struggling with a delivery she suggests that Jake lend a hand.
Later, when Miles turns up at the pub, he’s stung to see Jake on the other side of the bar joshing with Jasmine. Does he have a rival in love on his hands?
Elsewhere, as Nicola continues to perform menial tasks for Paddy, Sharon pokes fun. Turning up at the surgery with her local IT girl friend Colette, they swan in and demand that Colette’s tiny designer dog Beau be chipped so that she can take it to Marbella the next day.
Paddy explains that it would be weeks before the dog would be able to leave the country after the procedure. When Colette flashes a wad of fifties, Paddy, incredulous, insists that there’s nothing he can do. However, not one to miss an opportunity, Nicola sees pound signs.
Miles warns Jake off Jasmine
Airs on Friday, June 13 2008 at 19:00 BST on ITV1
From Digital SpyAs Jake starts his trial in the pub kitchen, he and Jasmine continue to tease each other. When he cuts his finger, Jasmine performs some first aid but when she makes his finger sting, she’s amused and he vows to get her back.
Later, he makes her a sandwich laced with chilli and the two begin a food fight which spills out in the bar, landing food on a perturbed Miles. Later in the toilets he warns Jake off Jasmine. When Jake mentions this to her, she’s annoyed and storms off to see Miles at Holdgate. Has his jealous warning to Jake massively backfired?
Elsewhere, struggling to find somewhere to keep Beau, Nicola’s forced to leave him at home, against Rodney’s express wishes. When Beau does a grand job of wrecking the lounge, Rodney isn’t too pleased but is soon charmed by the tiny terror. Pleased, Nicola is thrilled to receive a call from Colette saying that her friends are interested in her services. Is it destined to be a dog's life for Nicola?
Ashley decides that it’s time that they all spent some time as a family and, instructing Laurel to throw herself and Gabby a sickie, decides that they should all go on a picnic. Enjoying their day out, Laurel is pleased to see Gabby so happy but can’t bring herself to get close to Arthur. Is Ashley fighting a losing battle?
