Leyla (Rokhsaneh Ghawam – Shahidi) is delighted with her new designer shoes and covers that she paid for them on her credit card. However, when Nathan (Lyndon Ogbourne) arrives at the shop to take the petty cash tin and balance the accounts she starts to panic and confesses her crime to Gennie (Sian Reese- Williams), who warns her this could land her in trouble with the police. Nathan instantly realises money is missing from the petty cash and Leyla tries to hide her guilt when he places the responsibility on Doug as the manager and questions whether he’s trustworthy. In the pub later, Maisie (Alice Coulthard) comments on Leyla’s shoes and when Nathan overhears her telling Leyla £250 ins a bargain for them, he realises she’s responsible for the missing money. Feeling she has no choice, Leyla owns up to Nathan who’s annoyed but tells her if she returns the cash within the month, he’ll look the other way. Leyla’s relieved but does Nathan have an ulterior motive?
Elsewhere, Debbie (Charley Webb) is keen to spend her first day as a proper couple with Michael (Jamie Belman) but he’s eager to get back to Durham claiming he has some explaining to do. However, Cain (Jeff Hordley) remains cynical about him. Is Cain right to have doubts about Michael?
Meanwhile, Laurel (Charlotte Bellamy) is taken aback when Sally (Sian Reeves) arrives needing someone to talk to and Ashley (John Middleton) obliges. She confesses that her marriage to Vincent is in a terrible mess and Ashley offers her advice, but when Laurel arrives home she’s perturbed that Ashley won’t tell her about Sally’s problems.
Also, Nikhil (Rik Makarem) is furious when Priya (Effie Woods) arrives at the factory in last night’s clothes which are torn after a brawl in a bar. Worried she’s out of control he refuses to give her preferential treatment.

Michael (Jamie Belman) seems increasingly awkward with Debbie’s (Charley Webb) affection and makes to leave claiming he needs to explain the situation to his best man. Meanwhile, Cain (Jeff Hordley) is still simmering and not trusting Michael, he reads a text on his phone. As Michael gets in his car to go, Cain gets in the passenger seat and orders a nervous Michael to drive. He warns him he knows he’s keeping secrets from him and pinning him up against the car, he asks why his best man still thinks the wedding is on. As Michael tries to protest, Cain snaps that he doesn’t believe a word that comes out of his mouth and is fuming when Michael can’t look him in the eyes and tell him the wedding is off. As his anger boils, he punches Michael over and over again telling him he wants him out of Debbie’s life once and for all. Slumped against the car in pain, a bloodied ad bruised Michael agrees when Cain to stay away from her as Cain walks away he’s satisfied he’s finally got the message across to Michael. At home, Debbie is still waiting for Michael to call. How will she react when she discovers what Cain has done?
Meanwhile, Laurel (Charlotte Bellamy) is annoyed when Sally (Sian Reeves) arrives at the house again to apologise for unloading all her problems on Ashley. She can’t hide her irritation and uneasiness that Sally is spending so much time in the village. Should Laurel be worried about Sally’s intentions?
Elsewhere, Leyla (Rokhsaneh Ghawam – Shahidi) is still on edge about the stolen money and doesn’t know how she’ll manage pay it back. Nathan is clearly enjoying the hold he has over her as he tells her he needs it back sooner rather than later.
Also, Jimmy (Nick Miles) pitches the haulage contract to Jai (Chris Bisson) and Nikhil (Rik Makarem) who aren’t interested. And Diane (Elizabeth Estensen) is getting tired of the hostility between Moira (Natalie J Robb) and Marlon (Mark Charnock).

Wednesday 30 September
Cain (Jeff Hordley) starts to feel guilty as Debbie (Charley Webb) desperately tries to get through to Michael (Jamie Belman). He tries to tell her that perhaps he’s changed his mind about calling the wedding off but Debbie refuses to believe it, asserting that Michael chose her and he is coming back for her. Later, she’s horrified when he arrives at Tug Ghyll badly beaten up and assumes his fiancée’s family are to blame. She’s livid when Michael reveals it was Cain and is bewildered when he tells her Cain is right to want to protect her. He summons all his courage to tell her that she deserves the truth - he was too much of a coward to admit it before but he never called off the wedding, and he’s getting married tomorrow. Debbie’s speechless and as her shock turns to anger she demands to know why he’s done this to her. Michael explains that he was about to leave his fiancée when she dropped the bombshell that she’s pregnant and he couldn’t bring himself to turn his back on his child. Heartbroken Debbie breaks down and lamenting the fact that she’s always the one who ends up on her own, she tells him to go. Will Debbie let Michael walk out of her life that easily?
Laurel (Charlotte Bellamy) and Ashley (John Middleton) have enjoyed a lunch break together and are disappointed when Sally (Sian Reeves) arrives and interrupts them. Laurel feels put out as she’s forced to go back to work, leaving Ashley alone with Sally. Ashley fails in his attempts to get her to leave when she breaks down in tears telling him she’s not sure how much longer she can go on living with Vincent. As she reveals the depth of her unhappiness, Ashley is concerned that their marriage is over.
Meanwhile, Leyla (Rokhsaneh Ghawam – Shahidi) is worried when about finding the money to pay back Nathan, but when he replaces it claiming it was an error on his behalf, she’s suspicious. At the pub later, she tells him she was going to pay it back and still wants to, and is uncomfortable when he tells it’s settled and she can pay him back directly instead. What is Nathan playing at?
Also, in a bid to ease the tension between Marlon (Mark Charnock) and Moira (Natalie J Robb), Diane (Elizabeth Estensen) insists they work together more closely and orders Moira to help Marlon out in the kitchen.

Thursday 1 October [1]
Cain (Jeff Hordley) continues to make jibes about Michael (Jamie Belman), not realising how much he’s upsetting Debbie (Charley Webb). Later, when he spots her leaving the garage, he attempts to stop her knowing she’s going to the wedding to see Michael. He urges her to forget him and get on with her life, but Debbie is desperate and wants one last chance to convince Michael to change his mind. Realising she’s not going to listen, Cain eventually agrees to go with her. They arrive at the church the same time as the veiled bride, and as she hears the wedding march begin, Debbie feels sick with nerves but runs towards the church. All eyes are on the bride as she moves serenely down the aisle and as Debbie spots Michael looking adoringly at his wife to be, the reality of what she's about to do suddenly hits home. Michael is stunned to see Debbie and Cain at the back of the church and as the vicar tells them to take a seat, the bride turns and Debbie is aghast. Who is Michael's mystery bride?
Laurel (Charlotte Bellamy) and Ashley (John Middleton) are both trying to avoid Sally (Sian Reeves), but after Laurel dodges her phone call, she feels guilty when she sees her waiting in the village with a bunch of flowers and reluctantly invites her to the pub for a drink. However, when Sally becomes the life and soul of the party at the pub and goes down a storm with the factory girls, Laurel feels put out again. Is Sally after more than a shoulder to cry on?
Meanwhile, Leyla (Rokhsaneh Ghawam – Shahidi) feels like a thief every time she looks at her new shoes and decides to snap off the heel and take them back to the shop for a refund. However, she’s furious when the shop refuse to refund her the money knowing she did it on purpose.
Also, Jai (Chris Bisson) apologises to Jimmy (Nick Miles) after coming on to Nicola and offers him the haulage contract, much to Nikhil’s (Rik Makarem) annoyance.
