Characters: Brian, Debbie, Hayley, Lynda, Pat, Peggy, Tom

• Pat and Tony are still suspicious of Hayley’s new found enthusiasm, especially with her new wellies – although the white jeans may not recover!
• Peggy defends her investment in Kate in the face of stiff opposition from Brian, after being called naive she calls for Kate to be given independence and some freedom, something she regrets not giving her own children.
• Lynda’s offering deportment and literature courses in advance of the filming at Lower Loxley – although Hayley baulks at the prospect of reading a whole book …
• Debbie suggests that Brian should ask Kate to choose between her cottage and the van, she is starting to feel left out and taken advantage of, not indulged like her younger half-sister.
