Dear oh dear. Not only does Karl have thousands of pounds of gambling debts which have near bankrupted his missus, he's a cheater, too. He and Sunita "cleavage" Alahan succumbed to an inevitable ( and soon regretted) passionate session on her sofa, little realising that Stella had just decided to take him back, her heart apparently softened by him selling his prized signed football shirt and offering her the proceeds "You can trust me", he muttered, guiltily, as the two vowed to make a fresh start. It is difficult however to tell Stella's emotion are at any point however as Michelle Collins' forehead and eyes appear so strangely frozen and immobile.
All was not well either between Peter and Leanne after he cruelly told her she couldn't see little Simon any more, after Simon overheard her calling Carla a "black widow" ( fair comment, I'd say).
Sally was all bright eyed and cock a hoop after becoming Carla's business partner (we know this will end in tears) while David's new job in a trendy posh salon was in fact as a floor-sweeping, tea making dogsbody - karma time, David!
New couple Tina and Tommy were all lovey dovey, but Tina rejected his offer of spending his bequest from his grandfather on a round the world trip for them both, saying she didn't want him to squander his money on her. Maybe he should offer to take Lewis instead, there's a man who wouldn't say no to a free holiday..
