More detail
Ian's secret is almost exposed when Denise nearly answers the phone to Rainie. Soon afterwards, Ian asks Patrick for help when Denise considers putting their wedding plans on hold. Ian wants Patrick to talk Denise round and although she gets annoyed when she discovers what her fiancé is up to, she later agrees to resume the organising.

Later, Rainie returns and although Ian fobs her off, Patrick soon stumbles across her. After Rainie tells Patrick everything, he furiously confronts Ian…

Meanwhile, Patrick still has worries of his own on his mind. He considers talking to somebody about his health scare but ends up putting it off once again.

Elsewhere, Sharon remains reluctant to leave the house and she panics further when she catches Dennis in her bedroom - inches away from finding the hidden gun. A rattled Sharon grabs and shakes Dennis, causing him to run away. Later, Shirley arrives at The Arches with Dennis and criticises Phil for causing Sharon's problems. Wanting to make amends, Phil arranges for a doctor to visit Sharon - but she is disappointed when he prescribes her some medication.

Also today, Max urges Jay not to tell Abi and Lauren about his fling with Emma, especially since Lauren has only just moved back in. Will Jay keep quiet?

Finally, Tina and Tosh are pleased to be reunited with Jake when he is released on bail.
