|
Irene and Troy discuss their close shave, as the estate agent came into the flat, but luckily Troy had locked the door to the bedroom. Terry also has a go at Irene because the shop was closed early and he noticed on his way back from the pub. Irene asks Terry if he's done anything about buying the Vic. He says he thought she wasn't keen. Troy books a hotel for the night and Irene says she can't just go! However she later invents a hen night that she has to stay over for. It's Peter's and Lucy's birthday but Ian ignores Peter. Melanie keeps reminding him that it's Peter's birthday too, but he only cares about Lucy coming home this afternoon. Jamie has a go at Phil, saying Lisa deserves better, and she's not coming back. The doorbell rings, and it's Dan, who tells Phil he looks terrible. Dan explains to Phil that he went on a bender when Carol dumped him and actually thought about topping himself when he woke up on a beach in Southend! Phil says the last time they spoke he was going to go for Bianca. Dan says she wasn't interested and he knows now that he wants Carol back. Phil tells Dan that she's gone. Dan goes on about his life, and Phil explains about Grant. Dan asks what the problem is and says that Phil doesn't need Peggy or Grant - he has a business and a lot of respect from people. Dan adds that people like to see him drinking again so they can feel superior and all he has to do is keep off it, and he has a lot more going for him. Lisa tells Melanie she walked out on Phil, and tells Melanie she has to tell Ian that she isn't sure about the wedding. Melanie snaps at her, telling her to mind her own business. Melanie has to arrange the birthday party that afternoon and Pat chats about how Steven and Peter seemed quiet this morning. Melanie snaps that she is expected to cope with everything. Melanie goes to the Vic, and apologises to Lisa and Lisa says she won't stand by and let her ruin her life. Melanie promises to tell Ian tonight after the party. Barry invites Robbie to be best man, and tells him he has to arrange the stag night. Pat and Roy are invited to Barry and Natalie's for dinner. Andrea is rude to Pat and they have a very unpleasant conversation. Phil has a bonfire of all Grant's gear and Dan comes to check he's okay. Dan says he tried all his previous contacts and had no luck. Phil offers him a place to stay at his house. Ian dotes on Lucy and takes her to the party. Pat tells Jeff that Melanie was stressed earlier and Jeff follows her to the kitchen during the party. He asks if she's okay and advises her to share her worries with Ian. Melanie is almost in tears and says she can't go through with the wedding. Jeff gets it wrong and says of course, they shouldn't have the wedding with Lucy ill, the most important thing is that she wants to spend the rest of her life with Ian, nothing else matters. Melanie sighs. Irene goes to the hotel and is chatted up by a bloke there who bores her with stories of his previous marriages, and then assumes Troy is her son when he walks in. Irene smirks and snogs Troy and they leave the bar with the boring man looking stunned. Melanie tries to tell Ian that she doesn't want to get married, but he says they can't wait until Lucy gets better - she wants to be bridesmaid. Melanie says it's not just about Lucy, but Ian begs her, she tries to say she didn't mean for things to go this far, and Ian asks her to promise she won't postpone it, and she can't reply. |
