Devon Seas Season 2

INT. JENKINS MANOR - DAY

Hilary enters Tanya's room, clealry aware that she's taking a risk. She checks to see that the bathroom is clear before she heads to Tanya's bed and starts to roumage around in her suitcase.

Hilary pulls out clothes, toiletries and gifts, in search of the dictaphone/tape. The bedroom door opens and in walks Tanya, Hilary gives a shocked noise and tries to walk away from the suitcase innocently.

Hilary: Tanya... I was just seeing if you had any dirty laundry that needed washing...

Tanya walks towards Hilary, who gives a nervous gulp.

Tanya: The day you do laundry is the day Peter Stringfellow becomes a gayman... I know exactly what you were doing in here...

Hilary: Oh come on Tanya, cut me some rope... am I just meant to sit around and wait for you to play that tape?

Tanya: As far as I see it, that's your only option...

Hilary casts Tanya an evil look, Tanya has a smug look on her face. She zips up her suitcase and shoves it in the wardrobe.

Tanya: Besdies did you really think you'd find it here... I'm not that stupid... that tape is the most precious thing I own...it's in the safe and capable hands of someone I know I can trust...

INTERCUT:

EXT. VALENTINO'S RESTAURAUNT - DAY

A luxury silver sports car speeds into Baymoore and pulls up outside Valentinos. A man, early twenties, steps out of the car, dressed in a smart suit and shoes.

He removes his designer sunglasses. It is Will Ashworth, he makes a call on his cell phone.

Will: Tanya darling, it's me... yeah I've just got back...

Oooo Tanya and Will Ashworth have teamed up!

*suddenly has flashback to other script and remembers the scene*

Oh I'm so loving this new Tanya!

James better be telling the truth, although how is Lorraine going to react when she hears this news...

INT: TORBAY HOSPITAL- Day

James is pacing around a corridor in the hospital. He looks to the clock, and sees only half an hour has passed. He turns, and is shocked to see Lorraine..

James: Lorraine!

Lorraine: I had a feeling you'd be surprised to see me. Why didn't you show last night?! You were all ready to be with me properly, and then... nothing! No visit, so phone call, no text...

James: I just... Something happened...

Lorraine: Oh yeah?

James: Its Val. I'm sorry Lorraine, but shes got cancer...

Lorraine: And?!

James: What do you mean "And"?! She's got cancer! She could be dying in there for all i know it!

Lorraine looks unemotional, and stern...

James: Sorry Lorraine, but its over. I can't be with you, not now, not ever. I'm just sorry it took this to make me realise that...

Glad James has broken it off, although will it last :hmm: Will Lorraine accept it? Will James be able to keep away? I hope he fully supports Val, now he knows about her cancer etc.

I can't see Lorraine letting this go.. she will make his life at work hell after all she is the boss!!

Tanya and Will, I am sure Richard will not be happy and Hilary now can see if she can get Jared to get the tape from Will

EXT. TORBAY HOSPITAL - NIGHT

James: Sorry Lorraine, but its over. I can't be with you, not now, not ever. I'm just sorry it took this to make me realise that...

Lorraine: You what!?

James: I'm sorry Lorraine but...

Lorraine: No.. don't you dare do this to me!

James: It's the only option...

Lorraine: But you can't just leave me! You don't even lover Val!

James: I do!

Lorraine: That's not how you were feeling yesterday when you were going to leave her for me!

James: I do... I think deep down I always have... it's just... the cancer has made me realise she's the one for me, and what an idiot I've been...

Lorraine: Idiot!? You mean what we've had is "idiotic"

James: I didn't mean it like that...

Lorraine: Really!? How else did you mean it!?

James: Look Lorrain, it's Val I love... I can't bear to loose her... what we had was great....but it has to end...

Lorraine: You've messed with the wrong woman! You and miss wonky tit are gonna pay the price for pissing around with my emotions!

Lorraine gives James an evil look as she storms off, Amy walks around the corner, having heard the entire conversation...

INT. VALENTINOS RESTAURANT - DAY

Will is sitting down, looking out of the window to the sea. A bottle of champagne in an ice bucket is on the table, along with two glasses. Tanya enters the restraunt and sits down.

Tanya: Joe darling, I wondered when you would get back...

Will: I just had to tie up the last few ends in Miami, I'm all yours now

The pair kiss, she sits down oppsite him. Tanya pours the champagne into the glasses.

Will: Where's your ring?

Tanya: Huh?

Will: Your engadment ring...

Tanya: Oh erm... well I didn't want to wear it yet, incase dad saw it...

Will: And what would be so wrong with that?

Tanya: I just want to make an official anouncement to the family...

Will: God, don't remind me... I'm so nervous about meeting them...

Tanya: Well you need to get used to them don't you darling, seen as you're going to be married to me by Feb 14th...

The pair kiss each other tenderly on the lips. Tanya gets up and drags Will up.

Tanya: Come on then, let's tell them....

Joe!! Why is Will calling himself Joe?! And boy are they going to get a shock when they all get together and meet each others families! Can't wait for that!!

Whats Amy going to do now shes overheard the conversation between James and Lorraine?! And Lorraine's reaction!! Be afraid, be very afraid!!

James is certainly gonna regret splitting things off with Val..i have a feeling that she has revenge in mind for both him and Val!

Will and Tanya! What a pairing! I can't wait to see the reactions of the Taylor family when they tell them that they're engaged!

INT: TORBAY HOSPITAL- Day

James sits in the corridor, with his face in his hands, contemplating what has happened. Amy sits next to him, sipping a cup of tea...

Amy: Tell me then

James: Huh? Tell you what?

Amy: Tell me what the hell you think you were doing earlier. I'm not stupid, James. The bag... Lorraine and your "private little chat" earlier...

James: Dont read into things, Amy..

Amy: You were, weren't you! You were leaving Val for.... her?! :eek:

James: Dont tell her... please...

Amy: What?! So you dont want to explain it to me, you just want to make sure Val doesn't find out?!

James: I'm sorry...

Amy: Sorry?! Shes in there having treatment her Cancer, James! Do you really think that i would put her through finding out that her so called husband as been cheating on her, while shes been suffering with that?!

James: I didn't know she had it!

Amy: And that really makes it better, doesn't it. You were going to leave her, and now you found out this, you're suddenly with her again...

James: Its just shown me how much i love her. I can't bare to lose her...

Amy: If you dare do this again James, then you've been warned. Cheat on her, harm her, whatever... you do it again, and i'll kill you.

Lorraine is out for Revenge and yes Em.. I was wondering that too, why is Tanya calling Will JOE???

INT. KYLE'S FLAT - DAY

Kyle is sitting down on his sofa with a cup of coffee in his hands. Daniel is on the floor beside him playing on his X Box.

Kyle: I take it you like this game then?

Daniel: Yeah! Halo's cool!

Kyle: (Laughs) That X Box turned out to be the best investment I've ever made, kept you entertained for hours...

Daniel: Luke says the X Box 360 is way cooler! Can i get one for Christmas!?

Kyle: Erm...it's a bit expensive mate...

Daniel: But I need one!

Kyle: You don't need one, you want one... anyways we will have to see what Father Christmas brings you...

Daniel continues to play on his X Box. Kyle gives a devious smile then begins a new topic of conversation.

Kyle: Just think, next Christmas you will have a new baby brother or sister...

Daniel: That's ages away yet!

Kyle: Yeah I'm just saying... a little baby brother or sister, it's gonna be cool huh?

Daniel: Not really, it's only gonna be a half brother or sister...

Kyle: What's wrong with that?

Daniel: Well it's just the same as having a full one is it?

Kyle: (Grins) Dan... your mom hasn't been entirely honest with you...

Daniel: What do you mean dad?

Kyle: Nick is gonna be the baby's daddy, I am...

Daniel looks shocked, Kyle grin with delight....

INT. JENKINS MANOR - DAY

Hilary pours herself a drink at the cabinet, her hands shaking. She downs the drink in one and stares at herself in the mirror.

Richard: Are you ok Hilary?

Hilary: What?

Richard: Are you okay...you haven't been yourself recently?

Hilary: Oh it's just...time of the month...you know...

Hilary pulls a face of worry, stressed about Tanya's evidence. Richard has a concerned look on his face. Tanya walks into the room with Will.

Tanya: We're back...

Hilary: We?

Tanya: Yeah, me and Joe...

Richard: Joe? Who on earth is Joe?

Tanya: Hilary, Dad... Joe is my fiance!!!

Tanya waves her large and expensive diamond ring in the air, a smile of delight on her face. Joe nervously waves his hand and waves it. Richard and Hilary look at each other, fuming...

INT: MANSFIELD'S HOUSE- Day

Vicky is sitting watching the TV, Daniel walks down the stairs..

Vicky: Room nice and tidy now?

Daniel doesn't reply...

Vicky: Daniel? Have you tidied your room like i asked you to?

Daniel sits in a sofa, and doesn't reply...

Vicky: Come on sweetie, whats wrong?

Daniel: I was just wondering... Maybe you forgot to tell me or something...

Vicky: Wondering what?

Daniel: Are you and Dad getting back together?

Vicky: No! What made you think that!?

Daniel: But the Baby is Dad's baby...

Vicky: Thats nonsense, you know its Nicks, Dan. Me and your Dad aren't getting back together, and me, you and Nick are going to be a family together, with your new brother and sister, aren't we? Me, you and Nick... not your Dad...

Daniel storms upstairs...

Playing a child like that and using Dan in that way is so wrong - I hope someone sorts Kyle out and soon - he can't go round using Dan like that to try and cause friction - its not fair on Dan apart from anything else.

Ooo, so Hilary and Richard have met "Joe" (still why is he calling himself Joe - is it to hide he's an Ashworth?!) and what will happen when Hilary discovers that he is Jared's son - will she use that to try and get the evidence away from Tanya - I hope not. She was responsible for the twins death and deserves her comeupance big time!!

INT. KYLE'S FLAT - NIGHT

The lift doors to Kyle's coridoor open. Vicky storms out of the lift and towards his apartment, she hammers on his door. She taps her feet in annoyance of waiting.

Natasha opens the door, wrapped in a towel, wearing nothing else.

Natasha: Vicky?

Vicky: I want to speak to Kyle...

Natasha: What for?

Vicky: Now!

Natasha: He's not in...

Vicky: Where is he then!?

Natasha: I have no idea, look is it important becuase I was just about to pop into the bath...

Vicky: You tell you ******* of a boyfriend that I want him to stay out of mine and Nick's life from now on okay!?

Natasha: Why what's happened!?

Vicky: If he tells Daniel anymore lies then I wont let him see him ever again! The one night stand meant nothing to me, nothing! I've moved on, and so should he!

Natasha: One night stand!?

Vicky: Just tell him!

Vicky storms off in a furious rage. Natasha bites her lip, not happy at the news she has been delivered.

INT. JENKINS MANOR - EVENING

Richard: Joe? Who on earth is Joe?

Tanya: Hilary, Dad... Joe is my fiance!!!

Tanya waves her large and expensive diamond ring in the air, a smile of delight on her face. Joe nervously waves his hand and waves it. Richard and Hilary look at each other, fuming...

Richard: Your fiance!?

Tanya: Yeah! Isn't it great!? :D

Tanya beams hapiness, "Joe" gives a nervous smile.

Richard: No! It's anything but!

Tanya: Dad?

Richard: It's been less than six months since you buried Gary!

Tanya: You think I dont know that!?

Richard: Well what the hell do you think your doing marrying this "Joe" fellow, did you ever care for Gary!?

Tanya: Of course I did!

Richard: You have a funny was of showing it! Your finger is barely cool form taking off his ring!

Tanya: Look dad! It's been an emotional year for me! A lot has happened! Joe has got me trough this, gave me some confidence! Changed who I am! He's a decent man Dad and I want to marry him!

Richard: Well if you expect me to condone this marraige you've got another thing coming!

Tanya: For Christ's sake Dad, we're living in the 21st century! I dont give a damn if you condone it or not! You should be happy for me! For us!

Richard: Dont be so bloody naive Tanya! You've come back from Miami minus any form of common sense by the looks of it!

Will: Look, Mr Taylor...

Richard: Trust me boy you don't want to start an argument with me! Get the hell out of this house!

Hilary: Richard!

Richard: I'm sorry but this is pure madness! I need a serious word with you Tanya! Alone! Now!

EXT. JENKINS MANOR - NIGHT

Will leaves Jenkins Manor and walks towards his flash sports car. Hilary opens the front door and walks towards him.

Hilary: Stop!

Will stops and turns to face Hilary.

Hilary: I want a word Joe...or should I say Will?

Will: You what?

Hilary: What is you game he? I know who you are...

Will: You must have me mistaken with someone else...

Hilary: Don't mess with me Will, I know you father... the question is why are lying to Tanya?

Will: Look, what I do and say has nothing to do with it! So keep quiet about it!

Hilary: And you think I'm going to take orders from you little boy....maybe I should tell Tanya about your true identity...

Will: I don't think your in a position to blackmail anyone Hilary... after all I've got a your taped confession of murder...

Hilary suddenly looses her dominance in the conversation, and takes a nervous gulp.

Hilary: How the hell!?

Will: I'm sure the police would love to get their hands on it... so for the time beging I think I'm going to stay Joe Fletcher okay!? One word from you...and your done for...

Will turns his back on Hilary and drives off. Hilary is left alone, scared and vulnerable.

INT. JENKINS MANOR - NIGHT

Tanya is sitting down on the sofa, as Richard passes the room, unable to grasp the situation.

Richard: I just can't understand where you are coming from here...

Tanya: I love him, it's as simple as that...

Richard: When your mother died...

Tanya: Please dad, you didn't love her, so don't start...

Richard: I never went with anyone else out of respect for her memory...

Tanya: I'm not going to forget Gary in a hurry dad...

Richard: It's just so sudden, if you came back as partners then maybe I could understand...but marriage? It's all so sudden Tanya...

Tanya: I can't believe it myself, but I know he's the right man for me dad... he's been my rock for the past six months, he's got me trough it all...

Richard: We could have done that for you...

Tanya: But that's the thing...you didn't... I couldn't when I was around you all... but when I detached myself from the Taylors...Baymoore... Gary and the kids...

Tanya tries to hold back the tears.

Tanya: If you have any idea how much I miss them dad! Not a day goes by without me thinking of them... my whole life has been changed in the past year... Will was there at the right time...

Richard: But is he worth marrying!? So fast!?

Tanya: Yes...I truely believe he is... I'm a grown woman dad, I can make my own decisions and can deal with consequences... Joe makes me so happy...I just want you to support me on this...

Richard sits down beside her and holds her hands.

Richard: If it's what you want... if it's what makes you happy... then go for it...

Richard gives her a hug. Tanya buries herself in her fathers arms. The camera shows his face: unsure of how he should take the new relationship....

:eek: Hilary knows who Will is....obviously Will doesn't like her though :hmm: whats going on there then....

Let her be happy Richard - shes has so much to deal with she deserves some happiness. OK, so "Joe" is lying about who he is which makes you wonder what his ulterior motive is, but Richard doesn't know that. Well done for swallowing your pride - shes a big girl and has to make her own decisions in life. Just be there for her when his real identity comes out, if it causes problems and what ever you do - dont say, I told you so.

INT: ASHWORTH MANOR

Hilary walks up to the house, and knocks on the door. Lauren answers it, and leans against the doorframe...

Hilary: Hi, is your father there?

Lauren: You must be Hilary, right? Dad's latest squeeze. You know, i imagined you to have less greys, bigger boobs... thats his normal type...

Hilary: Excuse me?!

Lauren: I've heard a lot about you, theres no need to deny anything to me, love.

Hilary: I really dont think that this is any of your buisness. Is he here or not?!

Lauren: Women have got to him in the past. Tried to get close, and take him for everything he's got. You just make sure you dont go the same, you hear me?

Hilary: I'm hardly going to listen to a pathetic little girl like you, am i?!

Lauren goes to slap Hilary, but hears footsteps behind her. Jared grabs her wrist, in mid air.

Jared: Come on girls, whats all this!

INT: KYLE'S FLAT- Morning

Kyle is watching the morning TV, Natasha walks in with a cup of tea, and thrusts it at him, causing some of it to spill over him...

Kyle: Whats that for?!

Natasha: You really weren't going to tell me, were you?!

Kyle: About what...?

Natasha: You and that Vicky! She told me about your one night stand last night!

Kyle: Oh....

Natasha: Yes "Oh" exactly!

Kyle: You didn't need to know, so why bother telling you?

Natasha: Because i had the right to know! I'm the person thats seeing you!

Kyle: Well that can all change, can't it! :rolleyes:

Natasha: Excuse me?!

Kyle: Shut it, or you wont be the person "seeing me" will ya!

Natasha sits on the opposite sofa, obviously annoyed. After a few seconds in silence, she talks again, Kyle rolls his eyes...

Natasha: You know what? This is that Vickys fault... she can't decide what she wants, so she wants anything on legs...

Kyle: Come on Nat, leave this!

Natasha: How can i, when that slut thinks shes the queen bee? No... i'm gonna give her a piece of my mind...

She grabs her coat, and storms out the apartment

EXT: ASHWORTH MANOR- Day

Jared lets go of Lauren's wrist..

Jared: Let me talk to Hilary, Lauren.

Lauren: But did you hear..

Jared: (Interupts) Come on, give us a few minutes alone!

Lauren storms off, annoyed.

Hilary: Will... he's got the tape...

Jared: The confession tape?

Hilary: Of course the bleedin' confession tape! He's threatening to play it to Richard, as proof of the Kids murder...

Jared: Oh right..

Hilary: Well you need to get hold of it, or we can kiss goodbye to me being in Richards life, can't we!

Jared: Naturally...

Jared walks to the stairs, and calls up..

Jared: Will!

Will comes down...

Will: Dad... Hilary...

Jared: I think we need to talk..

INT: TORBAY HOSPITAL- Day

Val is sitting up in bed, looking tired. James is sitting next to her. The Doctor walks in...

Doctor: How are you feeling today, Val?

Val: Just a bit tired...

Doctor: Thats probably a side effect of the painkillers you've been taking. The dosage will be reduced soon enough, so that shouldn't last too long.

James: Thats good news, then!

Doctor: Certainly is! I've had the test results back, and it looks like the operation has been a success. The lump has been removed, meaning that you're odds are looking very good.

Val's eyes well up with happiness...

James: Thank you Doc, so much..

Val: Thank you... i can't beleive i'm beating this...

Doctor: Unfortunatly..

James and Vals faces drop at this...

Doctor: You will have to go through a course of Cheomotherepy, and possibly Radiothereopy, to make sure the cancerous cells are completly gone.

Ok.. just caught up. What is Will hiding and will he hand the tape over to his father?
Richard, just support Tanya in her choice.. it maybe hard to accept but just be there when it all falls apart.

So happy that the operation was a success!!
Kyle, you are using a child here, it is not good to play on other people emotions like that.. What has Natasha got a bee in her bonnet about???

If Will hands over the tape to Hilary :wall: :wall: <<< that will be me :(

Its about time Hilary got her comeuppance for what happened with the twins.

Natasha is being pathetic - its about time she saw Kyle for what he really is, not decide to go over and give Vicky what for. Hasn't she heard of the saying it takes two to tango :angry:

Exactly Siobhan and for the pair of them to get away with it - I will be an unhappy avid viewer thats for sure!

I wonder if Jared is aware of Hilarys part in what happened with the twins :hmm: Although they seem to know about the tape, but do they know what is actually on it...:hmm:

INT. BELLAMY HOUSE - Day

Will comes down the stairs as Hilary enters the house. Richard closes the door behind her, as they walk into the living room.

Will: What is this all about?

Jared: You have a tape...about Hilary...

Will: Oh god no, please don't tell me you knew about this!?

Jared: That's none of your buisness Will, just hand over the tape...

Will: You had something to do with their murder didn't you!? To hell with you if you think I'm gonna give either of you the tape!

Hilary: I think you will hand over the tape...

Will: Really and why's that?

Hilary: You seem...besotted with Tanya...

Will: I love her...

Hilary: Well that will soon change when she finds out who you really are... an Ashworth... The Taylors hate the Ashworths after all, you seriously expect Richard to condone this relationship!?

Will: We're grown ups we don't give a damn about some pafetic feud between our parents!

Hilary: Even so, her "rock" has been lying to her for the past six months...when she finds out the truth...

Will: If you think I'm going to let you get away with murder Hilary then you have serioulsy misjudged me! Tell her for all I care! She will understand! But there is no way on god's green earth that I will hand that tape to either of you!

Will storms out of the room. Hilary and Jared look at each other: panicked.

Good on you Will - what ever you do, do not let them get hold of the tape!

INT: RED RUM PUB- Evening

Chris is handing out flyers in the pub. He walks over to Romeo and Roxy and gives them one each...

Chris: Having a Christmas "gathering" tonight, if you two want to come!

Romeo: Oh right, Could be a laugh, i guess.

Chris: Might give you two the chance to finally get it on, aint that right! :cool: :rotfl:

Roxy: Excuse me?!

Chris: Come on, do i need to draw a diagram? :lol:

Roxy grabs Romeo's arm, and pulls him to the other side of the bar...

Roxy: You told him that we haven't... you know.... done anything yet?! How could you?!

Romeo: I didn't tell him exactly..

Roxy: You just didn't put the effort in to cover the blanks, right? Well thanks a bleedin' lot!

Romeo: I'm sorry, but you know what he's like when he gets going...

Roxy: Thats it, you go and blame him. Never going to be your fault, isn't that right!

Romeo: It is, i'm sorry...

Roxy: Pfft, i'm not stupid Romeo. Keep you're empty apologises to yourself.

Roxy storms off

INT: RED RUM PUB- Night

Romeo is standing at the bar, and downs a drink, obviously slightly annoyed. At one of the tables, Vicky is drinking a glass of Orange, when Natasha storms over...

Natasha: You just can't move on, can you? You can't leave the past in the past?

Vicky: If you're on about Kyle, then...

Natasha: (Interupts) Course i'm on about Kyle, i'm hardly chatting about the bleedin' Prime Minister!

Vicky: If you'd actually let me get a word in edgeways! I let him go the morning after we slept together. It was a stupid mistake, that meant nothing to me. If anyones doing the clinging on, its Kyle!

Amy walks out of the back of the pub, and listens from the Bar, concerned...

Natasha: Like he would lower himself down to you, again! You probably got him drunk, didn't you? Slipped something in his drink, and offer to help him home? Sound familiar?

Vicky: And thats why he tried it on with me again, on my own Hen Right, right?!

Natasha: You munipulative bitch! You're only doing this to break me and Kyle up, and wreck our relationship!

Amy coughs loudly. Natasha turns to her...

Natasha: Got something to say to me?!

Amy: Well, you'd know all about Wrecking Relationships, wouldn't you!

Natasha looks fuming at this comment. She looks back at Vicky, who has a look of disgust. She looks around the pub, and sees them staring at her. Her eyes well up with tears at the lack of support, and she runs out of the pub.

:clap: Nice one Amy - Natasha isn't exactly one who can go round preaching to people after what she got up to!

hehehe.. good girl amy.. you tell her what's what?
So Romeo/Roxy relationship is over then.. ah well that was fleeting

Just caught up with everything...i am glad Richard is approving of Tanya's relationship with Will...it will end in tears though once Tanya finds out he's an Ashworth.

I am glad Will isn't handing over the tape over to Hilary and Jared...i hope he doesn't get persauded into handing the tape over, it's about time Hilary and Craig got found out for the twins murder.

Good that Val's operation went well! I hope Romeo and Roxy haven't split up for good, they were a fun couple...seemed a bit harsh of Roxy just to walk off...

INT. ANDREWS HOUSE - DAY

Emma is dancing to music in the living room, the doorbell rings. She answers the door to Amy.

Emma: Amy?

Amy: I just popped roiund to give you a caserole, what with your mom being away and all...

Emma: Oh thanks Amy that's really thoughtful of you... trust mom to run off on one of those bargain holidays just before Christmas...

Amy feels guilty for keeping Emma in the dark.

Emma: Want a cuppa whilst you're here?

Amy: Oh go on then, Patrick can run the bar by himself for a bit...

The pair walk into the kitchen, Amy puts down the caserole and takes a seat at the kitchen table.

Amy: It's good to see you in a better mood now...after the... it's nice to see a smile on your face...

Emma: Well I have reason to smile...

Amy: Hmmm, let me guess, a man?

Emma: (Beaming) Yeah! Tom!

Amy: Tom? Tom Adams?...Don't you think he's a bit too old for you...

Emma: Not at all, there's only a ten year gap...plus we're great frends, have a good connection...you know?

Amy: Sounds like you have it bad Emma...

Emma: Oh I do!

Amy: I know if your mom was here, she'd be saying that if you like him that much then you need to tell him...

Emma: And what would you say?

Amy: Get yourself dolled up and go to the party and get your man! :D

Emma beams with hapiness.

INT. JENKINS MANOR - DAY

Tanya and Will walk into Jenkins Manor, loved up looks on their faces. They enter the living room where Hilary is standing by the fireplace, a drink in her hand.

Hilary: Why look who it isn't... the lovebirds...

Tanya: You're just jealous I have someone to love...

Hilary: I love your father...

Tanya: Yeah right, more like you love his bank balance...

Hilary: You really are the most obnoxious little daddies girl I've ever met...

Tanya: I just look out for my father...

Hilary: He doesn't need looking out for...

Tanya: He does when you're around...

Hilary: Whatever Tanya....

Hilary walks towards the drinks cabinet.

Hilary: Can I get either of you a drink... Tanya?...(Pause)...Will? :p

Will takes a nervous gulp then casts Hilary an evil look. Tanya looks at Hilary confused.

Tanya: Joe... his name's Joe...

Hilary: No Tanya, Will... you see before you come here with your arrogance and self confidence you should learn a few things...princeply something about your so called fiance... he's not "Joe Flecther" at all, he's actually the son of your father's worst enemy...

Tanya turns around to face Joe.

Hilary: His name is Will Ashworth...

Tanya glares at Will, he takes a nervous breath, Hilary smirks at the pair and the evident argument.

INT: BACHELOR'S HOUSE- Night

Emma walks into the House, nervous. The music is turned up almost unbareably loud, and the drink is flowing. She walks into the kitchen, and pours a drink to ease her nerves. Tom walks in...

Tom: Hi, Emma! Didn't know you were coming!

Tom looks at Emma up and down, and wolf whistles as he pours himself a drink. She nerviously giggles..

Emma: Well i wasn't, and then i was...

Emma realises how nervous and childish she is sounding, and downs her drink..

Tom: Take it easy there! And can i say, you are lookin mighty fine tonight! :cool:

Emma smilies..

Emma: Thank you!

Tom: So...

Theres a nervious pause between the pair

Emma: I just... I only wanted to.. The reason i came is because..

Tom: Whats wrong? You seem nervous?

Emma: I just... i think a lot of you Tom. And i mean a lot..

Tom: Are you telling me that you....and me....?

Emma nods faintly, and looks at him hopefully, willing him to say that he wants the same thing. This time, its him that nervously laughs..

Tom: Well, i... I'm flattered, but you know... theres a huge age gap between us, and we're into different things and well... i dont think it would work...

Emma tries to say something, but Tom stops her from interuptting..

Tom: You've helped me through some tough times. I think we've helped each other, really. But i really dont think...

Emma: (Interupts) Its a no, isn't it...

Tom: Sorry, hun..

Emma pours another drink, and downs it. She looks up at the same time, and sees some mistletoe above them. She laughs..

Emma: Bloomin' typical!

Tom: Well... tradition and all that....

Tom leans in, and kisses her gently, under the mistletoe

Now what would be great - would be for Tanya not to care that "Joe" is Will and to just turn around and say, well, I still love him so whatever Hilary. Taken my kids, but it stops now. Come on Tanya - be strong and give the cow what for!!

Right Bry and Abi.. you can't keep doing this to me... I want to know how Tanya is going to react!!! I hope like you Em, she tell Hilary she doesn't give a damn

do you think when Tom kisses Emma under the misteltoe that he realises he does have feelings for her???
