I started a soap opera 'RIDGE CLOSE' a few weeks ago, but have decided to axe that for a number of reasons. Firstly, it's a lot of work due to having the whole of 1980 and 2016 missing, so the readers don't really know what's happening. Secondly, I'm hopefully relaunching that in a few weeks, but better than before as my friend is helping me.

Recently, I've been reading through the old 'Digital Soaps', and - back when they were running - I enjoyed the simplicity of them (how the casts weren't overly complicated). So I've decided to launch a new soap in the same vein as that. This is my soap, set in a village a bit like Hollyoaks...

The episode begins with an aerial shot of the village. The wind blows the leaves of a tree stood outside of the village's local pub, "The Black Swan". Landlord William Manning is stood outside of the pub, sticking a poster into the window, that announces the pub is re-opening with a singles night later that evening. William's wife Kirsten Manning exits the pub and grins at him. "Looks great" she states, and William thanks her with a kiss. "I'm really excited" William announces, and Kirsten nods in agreement. "Me too." Erica Cole passes along with Scarlett Cole, and Scarlett points out the sign. Erica grunts as William notices them. "You two coming tonight?" William asks, and Erica shrugs. "Dunno, I'll have to see if I can pull myself away from washing my hair" Erica retorts, and Scarlett titters. "Maybe we can give it a go?" Scarlett suggests, and Erica frowns. "Why do you suddenly wanna go to it, I thought you were fine being single?" Erica asks, and Scarlett opens her mouth to talk but is interrupted by William's son Dylan Manning exiting the pub. "Dad, supplier's on the phone" Dylan says, before noticing Scarlett and Erica. He nods at Scarlett. "Alright?" he asks, and Scarlett nods, blushing. Erica notices and scoffs, grabbing Scarlett's arm and dragging her away as Adam smirks.

At the Lucker's house, Courtney Lucker is sat on the sofa, texting somebody. She grins at the text as sister Charlotte Lucker enters. "Can I watch last night's Big Brother?" she asks, and Courtney nods, throwing her the remote. Charlotte notices Courtney smiling at the phone, and asks who she's texting. "None of your beeswax" Courtney replies, covering her phone before getting off the sofa and heading into the kitchen. Charlotte presses her lips as she turns Big Brother on on the television.

"Can I have a coffee please?" Aaron Fielding asks as he stands at the counter of the Cafe. Aaron turns around to see Hannah Edwards entering. "Alright?" he asks, and Hannah nods. "Can I have a coffee to takeaway please Si" Hannah says, before smiling at Aaron. Simon Cole, one of the owners of the Cafe, nods, preparing Hannah and Aaron's orders. Erica enters, with Scarlett following after her. "I can't believe how much you just embarrassed me" Erica spits, and Scarlett scoffs. "Embarrassed you? All I did was admit I'd like to go to the pub later. If you weren't so..." "So...?" "Controlling! If you weren't so controlling I wouldn't have to have 'embarrassed' you, would I?" Scarlett snaps, and Erica groans, storming into the back of the cafe. At a table in the corner, Simon's wife - and fellow owner - Louisa Cole is sat with manager Paula Bolton, with both of them discussing their plans to create a new menu. "It needs to be simple but appealing" Louisa admits, and Paula jots it down. "Simple but appealing..." she whispers, smiling. "Anything else?" Paula asks, and Louisa shrugs. "I wonder what's going on with Erica and Scarlett..." Louisa thinks out-loud, pressing her lips. "I'm just going to go and check something" Louisa says, standing up and following after Erica.

At the local garage, "Fielding's Autos", Scott Green (who owns 25%) is talking to customer Sophie Murphy, who has requested he book her in for an emergency MOT. "Is Thursday alright?" Scott asks, and Sophie frowns. "Can it not be done any earlier? It runs out tomorrow" Sophie admits, and Scott titters. "We're fully-booked" Scott states, and Sophie groans. "Alright, thanks. I'll take it to a garage in town" Sophie says, and Scott sighs. "Why don't you just wait until Thursday?" Scott asks, growing frustrated. "Because I need it done ASAP" Sophie replies, and Scott, who is beginning to lose his temper, scoffs. "Well don't leave it till last minute next time" he snaps, and Sophie remains silent, clicking her tongue before leaving without another word. Scott groans.

At the Fielding house, Jake Fielding is lying in his bed, passionately kissing a brunette female. The camera pans to reveal the female as Nicole Blake. They are both breathing heavily as they have just had sex. Jake grins as he kisses Nicole. "How about we go again?" Jake whispers seductively, and Nicole scoffs. "Was that not enough for you?" Nicole asks, and Jake grins. "Babe, you've only seen the starter" Jake quips, and Nicole laughs, but shakes her head. "No, this was a mistake - it was just a bit of fun, alright?" Nicole says, and Jake presses his lips. "Nic-" he begins, but she shakes her head, pulling her blouse on. "Bye Jake" she whispers as she leaves, leaving a naked Jake slightly annoyed.

It is later at night, and the pub is full of life as several local residents are gathered for the pubs single night. Ryan Fielding and brother Danny Fielding are sat by the bar, whilst Ellie Murphy is talking to Lee Matthews at a table. Jake enters the pub, followed by friend Mark Reynolds. "So what's up with you? You've been quiet since we left the house" Mark admits, and Jake sighs, noticing Nicole is sat at the bar, talking to barman Oliver Manning. "Nothing" he exhales, before telling Mark to take a seat as he'll get them a pint. Scarlett enters and notices friends Kiera Ford and Katie Osborne sat in a booth. "Alright?" Scarlett asks, and Katie grins. "Hi" she smiles, and Scarlett sits down next to them.

"What happened earlier?" Louisa asks as Erica sighs. "Scarlett wanted to go to the pub" "What's bad about that?" Simon asks, putting his newspaper down as Louisa places a dish of food down on the table. "Well... I guess I just don't like her getting drunk on her own, after mum and Michael..." "Michael's dead. I'm not justifying her actions, Erica, but she did the right thing" Louisa admits, and Erica scoffs. "You're saying killing a man was the right thing?" Erica asks, and Louisa nods sheepishly. "He was a paedophile" Simon states grumpily. "No amount of apologising would ever wash that away" "Well he weren't exactly gonna apologise anyway was he" Erica mutters under her breath, and Louisa nods. "Exactly. If I was a lawyer I'd have made sure I made this point" Louisa says, and Erica sighs. "Scarlett can't handle her drink" Erica admits, and Louisa sighs, placing her hand on Erica's shoulder. Erica nods, but it's clear she's still uneasy.

Back at the pub, the Murphy sisters - Lauren, Georgia and Danielle - are sat in a booth when an obviously annoyed Sophie enters. "What's up with you?" Danielle asks, and Sophie shakes her head. "Don't get me started" she says, and Lauren chuckles. "Come on, summat's up" Georgia opines, and Sophie sighs. "Well no one can get the car in till - at the earliest - Thursday, and then there was some creepy guy at a garage in town and he-" Sophie stops talking as she sees Scott approaching her, holding a glass of wine out for her. "Peace offering?" he says, and Sophie sighs. "Thanks, but no thanks. I'm not a wine person" Sophie states, and Scott sighs. Lauren jumps up, grabbing the glass from Scott's hands. "I am" she states, taking a sip. "Aw, you really do know the way to a woman's heart" Lauren grins, as Sophie tries not to laugh. Scott chuckles. "There's plenty more where that came from back at mine" Scott winks, and Lauren scoffs. "As much as I'd love to say yes..." Lauren says, trailing off. She downs the rest of her wine in one before shrugging. "Screw it. Bye girls" she grins, before grabbing her bag and leaving the pub, followed by Scott, who grins to himself as he admires Lauren's bum. Georgia scoffs, as Danielle laughs.

In the flat above the pub, William enters the kitchen and smiles at his mother Pamela. "How's it going down there?" Pamela asks, and William grins. "Great! It's going great!" William admits, and Pamela smiles. "Good. That's good" she says, and William nods. "Just a shame Louis ain't here" "He'll be back from the army in a couple of weeks, Will" Pamela insists, and William nods. "Yeah. Yeah, I know he will" William says, kissing his Mum goodbye before heading into the living room, calling Kirsten's name.

"Maybe we should head back to yours?" Kiera asks flirtatiously, breaking away from her passionate kiss with Mark in one of the booths. Mark nods, as he and Kiera exit the pub. Across the bar, Jake is watching Lee and Nicole kiss. Sighing, he turns to Dylan and asks him for a pint. "Hey" Jake says as Ellie approaches the bar. She smiles. "Any luck?" Jake asks nervously, and Ellie shrugs. "No. There's some fit people here but no-one really catches my eye" she admits, and Jake sighs. "I know. I'm sure there's someone here who'll like you. You're a gorgeous girl" Jake says, and Ellie scoffs. "It's not them that don't like me, it's the other way round!" Ellie states. "You fussy?" Jake asks, beginning to use flirtatious tone, and Ellie scoffs. "Not overly" she whispers, and Ellie grins. "Where's Olly?" William asks as he enters the bar. Dylan shrugs. The scene then cuts to the bathroom toilets, where Scarlett and Oliver are kissing passionately. As Oliver locks the door to the bathroom, he pushes Scarlett into one of the cubicles...

"Love Me Like You Do" - Ellie Goulding plays over the ending montage. At Scott's flat, Scott and Lauren kiss passionately as they undress each other before Scott closes his bedroom door with his heel -- Mark and Kiera fall back onto the sofa, naked, as they proceed to have sex -- Oliver and Scarlett have sex in the toilets as Oliver's phone rings -- Lee and Nicole continue to kiss in the pub as Nicole takes Lee's hand and leads him out of the pub -- The covers of someone's bed moves as it is clear someone is having sex beneath. They pop their heads out from under the covers, revealing Ryan Fielding and Katie Osborne -- And Ellie opens the door of her house she shares with her sisters. She turns the light on with her spare hand as she passionately kisses Jake. Jake pushes her against a wall as he kisses her neck, before undressing her. The camera then cuts to Jake and Ellie entering Ellie's bedroom as Jake pulls his boxers down and climbs into bed with Ellie, where they have sex...



Cast List

The set for brand new soap opera ASHFIELD may be pretty new, but it's already set to receive some new set changes. Speaking of the news today, creator xItzDannyx said "I'm really happy our plans to expand the set have been accepted. We started off with a medium-sized set, just in case the show didn't work out, but now we've got the first episode out, with more coming soon, we can finally announce the plans to expand it!"

The change will see several new sets, including a brand-new block of modern apartments, which several characters will move into over the coming weeks, starting with younger character Ellie Carpenter (Jacqueline Jossa).

"Ellie will use some of her inheritance from her grandfather's will to buy an apartment, whilst an upcoming stunt involving the current block of flats will see the boyshare, girlshare and students homeless, with them deciding to buy apartments in the new block."

This move will move several characters away from the terrace. There's also several new businesses coming up, including a nightclub, owned by an arriving character, as well as a gym.

OPENING MONTAGE: Connor Fielding wakes up, and sits up in his bed, turning to look in the mirror on his wardrobe; A taxi pulls up outside of "Fielding News"; Katie sits curled up on the sofa, watching The Jeremy Kyle show when flat-mate Mia Wright enters and notices her looking a bit down.

"What's up?" Mia asks, and Katie jumps, turning around. "Oh, you scared me" Katie admits, and Mia laughs nervously. "You look a bit..." Mia trails off as Katie nods. "Didn't sleep too well last night" "Aw, two nights without sleep then" Mia says playfully, and Katie frowns. "Sorry?" "Well you weren't here Monday night, so I can only imagine where you were... or should that be WHO you were with?" Mia teases, and Katie scoffs. "Actually, I stayed at Ellie's" "Sure" Mia smirks, and Katie smiles. "Alright, fine. But it was just a one-off" Katie finally admits, and Mia nods. "That's why you're blushing then, yeah?" "I'm not blushing you" "What are you doing then, holding in a fart? Cos you've gone really red" Mia states, and Katie giggles slightly.

Lauren and Sophie are walking across the terrace, talking about Lauren's recent night of passion with Scott Green, when Scott sees them from across the road and rushes over to them. "Lauren" he says, and Lauren smiles. "Hi" she says awkwardly, and Scott grins. "I, erm... wondered if you want to go out some time? Like for lunch or summat?" Scott asks, and Lauren titters. "Sorry, I think I'm free all week" Lauren says, and Scott nods. "Alright, that's cool. Maybe another time?" he offers, and she nods. "Yeah, sure, another time" Lauren reiterates, and Scott leaves as Sophie scoffs. "What?" Lauren asks as Sophie shakes her head at her. "You've just been going on in WAY too much detail about how good Scott is in bed and how you 'quite' like him, but when he asks you out you're suddenly busy?" "I am!" Lauren argues, and Sophie scoffs. "You're not that popular, L" Sophie says, and Lauren smiles sardonically. "Actually I've got a date later" Lauren says, slightly embarrassed, and Sophie shakes her head. "With?" she asks, and Lauren scoffs. "None of your business!" she states, and Sophie exhales, tutting at her sister before carrying on walking.

In the Bolton's family home, Kyle Bolton is stood downstairs in the kitchen, eating a slice of toast, whilst mother Paula is jotting some stuff down in a notebook. Paula's eldest daughter Natalie Bolton enters, grinning. "What's got you so happy?" Kyle asks grumpily, and Natalie beams. "I'm taking my first solo class today. My shadow, Kirsty, has got some meeting and they needed a cover teacher so I stepped in" "Aw that's great news" Paula opines, and Natalie thanks her. Kyle shrugs. "It's just a class" he remarks, and Paula tuts whilst Natalie shrugs her shoulders. "I didn't expect you to understand" she admits, and Kyle grins. "Good" he says, taking a bite of his toast. "Anyway, I'd better be off, don't wanna be late do I?" Natalie squeals, kissing Paula's cheek before grabbing a slice of Kyle's toast and rushing off. "Oi!" Kyle calls after her, but she has already gone out of the front door.

Jake Fielding is stood in the garage he co-owns, talking to fellow owner - and brother - Aaron, who is going on a trip to Devon for a car show. "Oh, and Sophie's car is booked in for an MOT today... she should be here now actually" Aaron informs him, and Jake frowns. "I thought we couldn't fit them in?" "We had a cancellation so Scott put them in" Aaron says, and Jake nods. "Anyway, I'm off" Aaron smiles, picking up his jacket. "Try not to burn the place down, eh?" Aaron suggests jokingly, and Jake grins. "I'll try" he jokes, and Aaron nods at him before leaving. As Aaron leaves, Ellie Murphy passes, and greets him. "Ellie" Jake exhales, and Ellie smiles awkwardly, still trying to forget their recent night of passion. "I, erm... Sophie told me the car's booked in for an MOT today? She's got a course at the salon so I had to bring it" Ellie explains, and Jake nods. "Sure. Do you wanna bring it in?" he asks, and Ellie nods. "Will I, er... have to stand and watch?" "Depends if you like watching topless men get dirty" Jake flirts, but stops himself as he bites his lip. "Sorry, habit I guess" he says as he notices Ellie's awkward-looking face. "Right. I'll get the car" she whispers, pointing to the car. Jake nods as Ellie leaves quickly, Jake groaning.

Victoria and Gary Fielding enter their house, carrying several bags, having just returned from their holiday. "We're home!" Victoria calls out, obviously excited, but there is no reply. They enter into the living room to find son Ryan passionately kissing Katie on the sofa. "Mum" Ryan exhales as he and Katie break away, covering their naked bodies with a blanket. Victoria drops her bag as Gary stifles a laugh.

At the local restaurant, "The Terrace", waitress Kiera Ford is sat in the staff room, texting someone, when her brother - and owner - Leon Ford enters. "Kiera, what're you doing?" "Lunch break" she states, and Leon scoffs. "You don't get a break when we're busy, you know the rules" he says, and Kiera shakes her head. "I don't see them rules written down" Kiera remarks, and Leon shakes his head. "Just... get out there. Table 5 have been waiting half an hour" Leon orders, and Kiera groans, standing up and leaving the staff room, whilst Leon stares at Table 5 through a small window, watching Amanda, Lisa, Courtney and Charlotte Lucker as Kiera takes their orders.

Back at the Fieldings', Ryan and Katie - who are now dressed - are awkwardly sat on a stool in the kitchen as Victoria chastises them. They are interrupted by a loud bang upstairs, and Gary and Victoria rush upstairs to find Connor's door broken off its hinges, a dent in Connor's wall and Connor standing, glaring at it, with a bloody fist. Victoria gasps. "What happened?" she asks, and Connor looks up at her guiltily...

At the pub, Lauren is sat at a table, talking to an attractive man, Lee. Lauren takes a sip of her drink as Lee smiles at her. "So what do you do for a living?" Lee asks, and Lauren smiles. "I, erm... work at a pub" Lauren says, and Lee smiles. "Great" "And you?" "I used to be the manager of a nightclub in London but it..." Lee pauses. "It was hit by an arson attack, and it burnt down" "Wow, was you in the club when it burnt down?" Lauren asks, and Lee nods sheepishly. "I've got a scar, on my leg, from one of the flames" Lee admits, and Lauren nods. "Sounds... scary?" she says, and Lee opens his mouth to speak, but is interrupted by Scott entering the pub and storming over to them. "This is what you blown me off for then?" he asks angrily, and Lauren sighs. "Scott..." "You got a better offer, yeah? Someone a bit younger?" Scott says, and Lee frowns. "What's he on about?" "Nothing" Lauren says quickly, and Scott points to her. "Have you asked about her previous relationships? She'll probably end up listing the entire village" Scott spits, and Lauren scoffs. "Jealous?" she asks, spinning around on her chair. "Of a tart like you? Nah" he states, and Lauren shakes her head. She picks her glass up and throws her drink at Scott, hitting his face. "Oops" she presses her lips. "I only slept with you cos you were easy anyway" Scott hisses before storming out, and Lauren turns back to Lee. "Sorry about that. Can we, er... can we just end it here, yeah?" she asks, and Lee nods, with Lauren standing up and leaving quickly, leaving Lee speechless.

Kyle is passing through the business district, on the way to the garage where he works, when Scott exits the pub, looking angry. "Kyle" Scott calls, rushing over to him. "What do you want?" Kyle snaps, and Scott shakes his head. "I'm not in the mood right now" Scott hisses, and Kyle sighs. "Well?" he asks, and Scott pulls a package out of his leather jacket. "Delivery" he states, and Kyle shakes his head. "Not any more, I've told you" "Yeah, and I've told you - I employed you at the garage. And I can sack you. No qualifications, no money, a college drop-out - where else are you gonna work, McDonalds?" Scott spits, and Kyle sighs. "Fine" he says, taking the package off of Scott and putting it into his pocket. Scott passes him a slip of paper with the address written on it. "Off you pop" Scott orders, and Kyle reluctantly leaves, whilst an angry Scott heads towards the garage.

Scott enters the garage to find it empty. The Murphy sister's car is parked in the middle of the garage, but Jake is nowhere to be seen. "Jake" Scott calls out, but there's no reply. Scott takes off his jacket, putting it over the back of the chair. He hears a loud bang coming from the store room at the back of the garage, and heads over to it. He opens the door to see Ellie leant against the wall as Jake kisses her passionately, the pair naked and having sex. Scott shakes his head, tutting, as Ellie picks up Jake's vest and covers herself with it.

"Was everything alright?" Leon asks, and Amanda nods. "Yes, thanks" she says, as Kiera collects the plates up. Leon smiles. "Can we get you anything else?" he asks, and Lisa shakes her head. "No thank you" she says, and Leon nods before leaving. Lisa cringes, shaking her head. "There's summat off about him" Lisa thinks out loud, and Amanda shrugs. "I think he's nice" she admits, and Charlotte scoffs. "He obviously thinks you are too" Charlotte remarks, and Amanda frowns. "Meaning?" "Oh, come on Mum" Courtney says. "It's so obvious he has a crush on you" Courtney states, and Amanda blushes slightly. "Oh stop" Amanda says, but Charlotte stands up, pulling a pen out of her handbag. "I'll give him your number" Charlotte announces, scribbling it down on a napkin before rushing over to the counter. "Charlotte Lucy Lucker!" Amanda calls, but it is no good, as Charlotte passes Leon the napkin before pointing over at Amanda, grinning. Leon smiles over at her, and Amanda waves nervously.

Kyle arrives at a house on the out-skirts of Ashfield. He pulls the package out of his jacket and knocks on the front door. A middle-aged man answers, and nods at him. "Are you Chris?" Kyle asks, and the man frowns. "Who's asking?" he asks, and Kyle holds the package up. "Scott Green" Kyle announces, and Chris nods. "Come in" he whispers, allowing Kyle in the house...

"Connor, calm down" Victoria pleads as Connor slides down against his bedroom wall, his head in his hands. "What's up son" Gary whispers, and Connor hits his head against the wall, hard. "Get out" he orders. Victoria places her hand on his shoulder, but he brushes it off. "I SAID GET OUT" Connor screams, and Gary nods at Victoria, as the pair leave the room. Connor shouts loudly as he punches the wall and kicks his wardrobe.

"He's out of control" Victoria remarks as she and Gary head downstairs. "He'll be fine, he's probably just angry" Gary remarks, but Victoria shakes her head. "No, it's something else. He's my son, I know" "He's my son too" Gary reminds her. "Everything alright?" Ryan asks as he and Katie enter the living room. Victoria nods. "Everything's fine" she states, and Ryan frowns. "We heard banging" Ryan remarks, and Gary nods. "Connor" "Shall I go sort him out?" Ryan asks, but is interrupted by the sound of smashing, as a chair passes the living room window before hitting the ground, smashing. "There's only one thing that can sort him out" Victoria whispers, and Gary sighs.

"Scott" Jake whispers as he and Ellie emerge from the stock room, now dressed. Scott is sat in the spinning desk chair, and grins. "So did you two have fun?" he asks, and Ellie sighs. "You shouldn't have seen that" Ellie admits, and Scott scoffs. "I can imagine" Scott states, and Jake shakes his head, scratching his unshaven face. "You won't, won't tell anyone will you?" Jake asks, and Scott titters. "Why don't you go and finish that MOT on the car, me and Ellie will have a little chat" Scott says, and Jake nods sheepishly, leaving. "I'll just..." Ellie attempts to push past him, but Scott grabs her wrist. "You're not going anywhere" Scott hisses, and Ellie winces in pain as he tightens his grip. "I won't say anything on one condition" Scott whispers, and Ellie sighs. "What condition? You want me to pay you?" she asks, and Scott laughs. "No" he whispers. "I'm sure you've got some better services you can offer" he whispers, as Ellie looks disgusted, twigging on to what he means. Scott leans in and plants a passionate kiss on her lips. Ellie pushes him away, slapping him as he grins, wiping his bloody lip. "You disgust me" she announces, storming off. "Well everyone finds out about you and Jake then" Scott calls after her, and Ellie turns around. "Do it. See how much I care" Ellie challenges, and Scott nods. "That's fine. I'll keep the CCTV then, yeah? I'm sure I'll get a few hundred views on a certain few sites - people really do like watching dirty sluts like you drop their knickers for everyone and anyone" Scott declares, and Ellie storms over to him. "You wouldn't dare" she hisses, and Scott scoffs. "Wanna try me?" he asks, and Ellie sighs. "One night, yeah?" she asks, and Scott nods. "One night" he whispers, and Ellie sighs, turning to see Jake sorting out the MOT. "OK" she says, and Scott grins. "Good girl" he whispers, kissing her passionately again before watching her leave, sitting back in his chair as she goes.

Back at the Fielding's, there is a knock at the door. Gary, Ryan and Katie are sat in the living room as the bangs and smashes continue upstairs. Victoria opens the front door to reveal a policeman. "He's upstairs" Victoria whispers, and two policemen head upstairs as PC Tony Walker nods at Gary. "DC Fielding" Tony smiles, and Gary sighs. "I'm sorry about this" he admits, and Tony nods. Connor's voice can be heard arguing as he is dragged down the stairs by the policemen. "This was you, wasn't it?" he asks, and a tearful Victoria nods. "I'm sorry" she whispers, and Connor screams and shouts how much he hates her as he is dragged out of the house. Victoria begins to cry as Connor is loaded in the police car, and the car pulls away, with Connor staring at her from inside the car, his eyes full of anger...

Made a mistake, edited it (Ellie's name)

Bosses of the brand new soap opera ASHFIELD have released a new trailer for the shows dramatic summer, branded 'Summer of Sex'. The trailer only teases a handful of upcoming events, including a community BBQ, Connor smashing up a car, and several residents getting passionate, plus the shows first stunt which will reportedly kill off two characters in July/August! However, the trailer does not reveal much, and a lot of stuff is being kept secret until transmission...

OPENING MONTAGE: Connor Fielding sits in his prison cell, still angry at his mother Victoria for calling the Police on him; Ellie Murphy is disgusted to wake up next to Scott Green, who looks smug; Erica enters the Cafe to see a nervous-looking Scarlett sat, talking to a good-looking builder.

"Oi!" Connor calls as he bangs on the door of the cell. A prison guard opens a hatch and grunts. "What?" he mutters, and Connor sighs. "When can I go home?" he asks, and the guard shrugs. "When you've calmed down" "I'm calm" Connor assures him, and the guard sighs. "I'll go and get someone to come and take a look" he says, before leaving. Connor slumps down on the 'bed', and sighs.

"Sorry, can you excuse me please" Erica says to the builder, who frowns. "Sorry, who are you?" the builder asks, and Erica opens her mouth to speak, but Scarlett interrupts her. "My sister" Scarlett whispers, and the builder nods, apologising. "I'll see you around?" he says to Scarlett, who nods, but as he leaves, Erica scoffs. "Not likely!" she calls after him, before sitting down opposite a disgusted Scarlett. "Was that necessary?" Scarlett asks, and Erica frowns. "What?" "That! This! The... the whole protective act! It doesn't wash with me, Erica. I know exactly why you're doing it" Scarlett admits, and Erica sighs. "Scar..." "No. You need to stop" Scarlett orders, and Erica sighs.

"That was fun" Scott remarks as he zips his jeans up, and Ellie - who is sat on the bed, fully-dressed - sighs. "It was alright" she whispers, and Scott grins, still topless. He throws himself down onto the bed, before crawling over to Ellie. "It's not too late" he whispers, kissing her neck. "To?" "To come back to bed" he grins, and Ellie stands up, disgusted. "What happened last night..." Ellie begins, but is interrupted by Scott. "Was great" "No! It was horrible. You're a bully, Scott. It's a shame, because underneath your fake hardman façade and the whole bully act, you're actually quite fit" Ellie admits, and Scott sighs, softening. "Ellie" he whispers, but Ellie shakes her head. "Don't talk to me" she orders, grabbing her bag. "I can't believe my sister even looked twice at you" Ellie hisses before storming out. Scott sighs, as he realises what a mistake he has made...

At the Cole house, Simon and Louisa are sat at the breakfast table, talking. Louisa stands up to collect the breakfast dishes in when the front door opens, and an angry Scarlett enters. "Scarlett, what's up?" Simon asks, and Scarlett groans in frustration. The front door closes as Erica follows her quickly. "Her!" Scarlett announces, pointing at Erica. "Scar..." "Girls" Louisa opines. "She won't let me do anything! She's constantly there, constantly trying to control myself, saying it's for my own good!" "It is!" Erica argues, but Scarlett shakes her head. "You're just scared I'll tell them, aren't you?" "Tell us what?" Simon asks, and Scarlett and Erica go quiet. "Tell us what, Scarlett?" Louisa repeats, louder this time. Scarlett pushes past Erica, running out of the house as Erica announces she'll get her.

"Ellie" Jake Fielding calls as he crosses the street, where a tearful Ellie is quickly passing. "Get lost" Ellie orders, and Jake grabs her shoulder, gently spinning her round. "What's up?" he asks, lifting her chin up to see she has been crying. "Nothing" she snaps, pushing his hand away. Jake presses his lips. "Is this about yesterday, at the garage?" he asks, and Ellie shakes her head. "No" she says, and Jake frowns. "Then what? Is it your sisters? Are you worried because Scott caught us having-" "No!" Ellie shouts, and Jake sighs. "Do you wanna come back to mine and talk about it?" he offers sympathetically, and Ellie scoffs. "What, you think I'll come back to yours so you can tell me everything's gonna be alright and then have a chance of me dropping my knickers to jump into bed with you?" Ellie asks, and Jake shakes his head. "What are you-" "That's all I am to you, in't it? Just someone you can call when you want a quick shag or when you've had a bad day" Ellie cries, and Jake rubs her shoulder. "Where's all this come from?" Jake asks, and Ellie sighs. "Nothing, it's fine. I've got... I've got to go" she whispers before rushing off, leaving Jake confused.

DC Gary Fielding enters Connor's cell to see him set on the bed with his knees to his chest. "Connor?" Gary says, and Connor sighs, looking up. "Dad" he whispers, and Gary nods. "I've, erm... I've signed the paperwork, you're free to go" Gary admits, and Connor nods. "Cheers" he says, obviously not wanting to talk to Gary. Connor stands up to leave, but Gary grabs his arm. "If you wanna talk, y'know, about yesterday, or about anything... I'm here, alright" Gary opines, and Connor nods. "I'll bare that in mind for the next time I wanna talk to a man who lets his wife shop his own son to the police" Connor hisses, and Gary sighs as Connor leaves. "Just have a shower and a shave, eh? You stink" Gary calls, but Connor ignores him, Gary following after him.

Ellie enters the Murphy's house to find it empty. "Lauren" she calls out, but there is no reply. Ellie sighs, picking up a photo the sisters. A voice whispers "shush", before giggling can be heard. Ellie frowns, picking up an ornament for self-defence as she creeps into the kitchen. She hears more giggling from behind the breakfast bar, and heads over to it. She is disgusted to see a naked Lauren and Scott lying on the floor, trying to quietly have sex. Ellie sighs, placing the ornament down on the breakfast bar as Scott and Lauren break away.

"Connor?" Victoria Fielding calls as the front door of the Fielding house opens. Victoria rushes into the hallway to find son Jake stood in front of her. "Hi" Jake says, and Victoria sighs. "Connor should be back by now" she whispers, and Jake nods. "I'm just gonna head upstairs to my room, alright?" Jake says, and Victoria nods, saying goodbye to Jake before heading back into the kitchen. However, as she enters the kitchen, the door opens again, and Victoria rushes over to see Connor. "Connor" Victoria beams, but Connor ignores her, pushing past her and running upstairs, leaving Victoria upset.

"Get out" Ellie orders as Scott stands in his jeans, grinning. "Don't be like that El" "GET OUT" Ellie screams, and Scott sighs. "Ellie, leave him" Lauren orders, and Ellie shakes her head. "No. Get out, now" Ellie orders, and Scott sighs, nodding as he obliges. Ellie leads Scott to the door, pushing him out before closing the door behind her. Scott pulls his t-shirt over his head, before turning to her. "How about a kiss for the road?" Scott teases, and Ellie slaps him. Scott recoils, holding his pink cheek. "You're disgusting" Ellie spits. "You blackmail me into having sex with you and then, when I reject you, you go and jump into bed with my sister?" "Well, we weren't exactly in bed - you might want to mop the kitchen floor when you're done" Scott winks, and Ellie cringes. "If I ever see you again I'll go the police" Ellie threatens. "And say what?" Scott asks, stepping closer to her, attempting to intimidate her - but Ellie doesn't move. "I'll tell them about the CCTV footage, about your threats - about last night" Ellie threatens, leaning closer. "And I'll tell Lauren the same" Ellie whispers, and Scott backs down slightly. He passionately kisses Ellie, pushing her against the front door, but Ellie pushes him away, slapping him again. Scott grins as he leaves, but he and Ellie are unaware that Jake has seen everything from his bedroom window...

"They'll be fine" Louisa says to her husband Simon as he heads to the bathroom. "I know" he says, before closing the bathroom door. He stares into the mirror, before using the toilet as the camera focusses on his face. He pauses, staring at the camera in horror as tears form in his eyes. Simon rubs his testicle again, and a lump forms in his throat as the realisation hits him - he's just found a lump.

"What are you doing?" Lauren asks as Ellie searches through her notebook. "What I should've done a while ago" Ellie mutters to herself, before smirking as she finds a page. "I'm claiming my inheritance, from Grandad. Well, not all of it, just some of it" "And what are you gonna do with it? Don't waste it 'cos-" "I'm buying an apartment in the new block on the business district" Ellie announces, and Lauren scoffs. "Ellie..." "You can't change my mind" Ellie insists. "Look, I dunno what your problem is with Scott, but just 'cos we had sex it doesn't mean you need to move out. We'll use my bedroom next time or his or..." "There won't be a next time" Ellie says, and Lauren frowns. "Sorry?" "Outside. Scott told me that he's using you, Lauren. He's been using you for sex" Ellie lies, and Lauren scoffs as Ellie apologises before saying she's moving out.

"Where are you going to go?" Victoria asks as Connor packs all of his stuff into a bag. "I'll go to the B&B on Rushmore Street" Connor says, and Victoria sighs. "Connor..." "I can't live here, Mum. I'm sorry, but I can't live with you anymore, knowing that you got me arrested" "You were out of control" Victoria argues, and Connor scoffs. "I don't expect you to understand" Connor shouts. "You're meant to be my Mum, you're supposed to support me!" "I am... I do!" "Do you?" Connor asks. "Or are you just saying that because you don't want to end up like a lonely old bitch like your Mum?" Connor spits, and Victoria slaps him. Connor scoffs, rubbing his bright red cheek. He zips his bag up before grabbing it and pushing past Victoria, walking down the stairs and out of the house as Victoria screams his name. Jake emerges from his bedroom in his boxers to see Victoria breaking down in tears at the top of the stairs.

Erica finds Scarlett sat on a bench in the business district, staring at the newly-finished apartment block that has just been constructed. "Scarlett" Erica whispers, sitting down next to her. Scarlett sighs. "What do you want" she asks, and Erica shrugs. "I just... I'm sorry" she whispers, and Scarlett nods. "You don't need to be so... protective. I'm not gonna tell anyone what happened back in London" Scarlett promises, and Erica nods. "I know, I just... do you know how much trouble you'd be in if you accidentally let the truth slip out? All three of us - me, you and Mum, we'd all be screwed. She's serving a prison sentence for a crime you committed!" Erica states, and Scarlett sighs. "I know. I didn't mean, Erica. I promise, I didn't mean it" "I know, Scarlett" Erica says reassuringly, pulling her into a hug as Scarlett means to cry. "I didn't mean to kill him" she whispers as Erica hugs her tighter and she bursts into tears.

"Happy birthday" Gregory Jackson beams as his wife Emma Jackson comes downstairs to find Gregory making her a full English breakfast. "Thanks" Emma says as Gregory kisses her. "I've done your favourite. Sausages, bacon, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, egg, toast - the lot!" Greg grins, and Emma thanks him, sitting down at the breakfast bar. She reaches over and flicks the kettle on, but Greg tells her to stop. "I'll do it" he insists, before grabbing Emma's favourite mug. Greg then passes Emma a pile of magazines. "Do you want your presents now, or after you've eaten?" Greg asks, and Emma titters. "I'll eat first" she smiles, and Greg grins.

"Morning" Will Turner grins as he enters the living room of the student flat, topless. Darcy Hendrickse cringes. "Put a top on" she insists, and Will scoffs. "Why don't you like looking at my perfect body?" he teases, and Harry James - Will's pansexual best friend - scoffs. "Aidan Turner is perfect. You're everything but" "Erm, we share the same last name - how do you now I'm not him in disguise?" Will jokes, and Harry scoffs. "Because he has the body of a Greek god" Harry admits, and Darcy giggles. Flatmate Mia Wright enters from her bedroom, and greets the trio with a small smile. "What do you think Mia?" Will asks, and Mia frowns, pouring herself some cornflakes. "Sorry?" "My body - whaddya think?" he asks, and Mia scoffs. "I've seen better" "Don't kid yourself" Will flirts, and Mia cringes. "Please don't try and flirt with me, you'll give me nightmares" Mia quips, and Will scoffs.

"Thanks for letting me stay last night" Ellie smiles as she folds the duvet up. Louisa Cole smiles. "No problem" she says as she makes herself a cup of tea. "How's everything with your sisters anyway?" Louisa asks, and Ellie scoffs. "The less said about them the better" "So if you're not on good terms with them, when are you returning home?" "I'm not. I've got a meeting with the bank today, I'm gonna use some of my inheritance to buy one of them new apartments, you know, in the business district. They're meant to be proper posh, but I didn't just wanna buy a one-bedroom flat that'd end up looking like a pig-sty by the end of the week" Ellie admits, and Louisa nods. "Well you're more than welcome to stay here until you've got it all sorted, but you should try and patch things up with your sisters - you'll never know when it'll be too late" Louisa reminds her, before taking her cup of tea and heading into the back garden. Ellie sighs as she puts her pillows down on top of the folded-up duvet.

Connor exits the B&B and sees brother Danny Fielding passing. "Dan" Connor calls, rushing over to him. Danny smiles, pulling his earphones out of his ear. "Connor" Danny grins, pulling Connor into a tight hug. "Mum said you'd walked out" Danny says, and Connor nods. "Did she say why?" "Just that you'd come home from the police station angry. What went on in there?" Danny asks, and Connor sighs. "Nothing, don't worry" Connor says, and Danny nods, smiling at his brother.

"Jake" Ellie calls as she exits the Cole's house and sees Jake heading towards the business district. "What do you want Ellie?" Jake asks, and Ellie frowns. "What's up?" she asks, and Jake sighs. "Nothing" "There's obviously something. Come on, tell me" Ellie insists, placing her hand on Jake's shoulder, but he shrugs her off. "I saw you" Jake admits, and Ellie frowns. "Sorry?" "Last night, I saw you with Scott, outside of your house. He came out looking like he'd just got dressed and then you kissed him" Jake remarks, and Ellie sighs. "I-" she begins, attempting to explain, but Jake shakes his head. "I don't want to hear it. You obviously don't feel the same way about me as I do about you, eh?" he whispers, before leaving, as Ellie sighs.

At the pub, the student group - Will, Darcy, Harry, Mia and Katie - enter, and Will greets Landlady Kirsten with a grin. "Two pints please, and then whatever the girls are having" Will says, pulling his wallet out. The girls tell Kirsten their orders, and Kirsten begins to pour their drinks. After paying for the drinks, the students head over to a booth and sit down. "So how's your course going?" Harry asks Katie, intrigued. Katie grins. "Yeah, it's going great!" Katie grins enthusiastically. Katie turns to Mia, who is looking at Will. "Summat up?" Katie asks, and Mia shakes her head, breaking out of her daydream. "No, I'm fine" Mia mutters, standing up and grabbing her bag before storming out. Katie goes to stand up, but Will shakes her head. "I'll go and see if she's alright" Will insists, before following after Mia.

Charlotte and Courtney are sat in the Cafe, talking as they enjoy a drink and a muffin. Courtney has her head in her phone again, which Charlotte notices. "BRB, I just need toilet" Courtney states, placing her phone down on the table. Charlotte watches as she enters the bathroom, before grabbing her phone, and attempting to type in her code. She gets it right on the third attempt, and begins to read the messages from a sender called 'C x'. Charlotte frowns as she reads the messages which are extremely racy and sexual. "What are you doing?" Courtney asks as she stands in front of Charlotte, who sighs.

"They've been gone for ages, I wonder what's keeping them" Darcy wonders, and Harry sighs, standing up. "I'll go and find them" Harry says, downing the rest of his pint before leaving the pub. He dials Will's number, and is confused when he hears it ringing nearby. "Will?" he calls out, and hears rustling in the alleyway next to the pub. He heads over to it and - as he stares in - he is shocked to see Will and Mia passionately kissing against the wall. He watches as Mia begins to unbutton Will's shirt, but Harry coughs. "Harry" Mia exhales, pushing Will away from her. Will wipes his mouth and grins. "Alright mate?" he asks, and Harry nods uneasily. "What's up, want to join in?" Will teases with a nasty tone to his voice. Harry frowns. "I don't-" "You're not gonna tell anyone, are you?" Mia asks, and Will shakes his head. "Course he ain't" Will says, pulling Mia out of the alleyway. "Lets head back to the flat" he whispers, and Mia nods. Will stops, allowing Mia to walk ahead. Will leans in to Harry's ear. "Don't think of telling anyone. You know how much I hate dirty little puffs like you, and if you breathe a word I'll make your gay, pathetic life hell, got it?" Will asks, and Harry nods as he fights back tears. Will grins, slapping Harry's cheek playfully before crossing the road and kissing Mia before heading into the flats with her.

Charlotte and Courtney arrive home, with Courtney still angry. "WHAT were you doing going through MY phone?" Courtney asks, and Charlotte sighs. "I've noticed, y'know" "Noticed what" "All the smiling at the texts, you trying to hide it every time me or Mum or Nan try an' walk past" Charlotte states, and Courtney sighs. "You're exactly the same!" she argues, and Charlotte scoffs. "I'm not sending texts of THAT standard to people!" Charlotte states, and Courtney sighs. "He's just a mate" "He's sent you pictures of his..." "I know!" Courtney interrupts her, sighing. "Have you sent pictures back?" Charlotte asks, and Courtney stares at her sheepishly. "Courtney, tell me the truth" Charlotte orders, and Courtney sighs. "Yes! Yeah, I have, alright?" Courtney admits, sitting down on the sofa. Charlotte sighs. "How do you know he's not showin' them to all his mates, that's he's not some perv?" "Cos I've met him - YOU have met him" Courtney admits, and Charlotte frowns. "What's his name?" "Chris" "Chris what?" Charlotte asks, and Courtney looks at her guiltily. "Oh my God, you're not serious?" Charlotte asks, and Courtney nods. "How long?" Charlotte asks, and Courtney sighs. "HOW LONG?" Charlotte repeats. "TWO YEARS!" Courtney screams, and Charlotte puts her hand to her mouth. "It was you?" she spits, and Courtney nods sheepishly. "You're the reason we lost our step-dad, our life? - because he was shagging YOU!?" Charlotte angrily asks, and Courtney nods. "WHAT?" Amanda Lucker shouts as she stands in the doorway of the kitchen, gobsmacked by what she has just heard...

At "Fielding's Autos", Jake is underneath a car when he hears some footprints enter. Believing it to be Ellie, he groans. "Ellie, I'm not in the mood" he states, pushing himself out from under the car to see Scott. "I didn't realise I was a young girl in my early twenties" Scott quips, and Jake scoffs. "Scott" he grunts, and Scott frowns. "What's up, you sound pissed off?" Scott says, and is shocked when he receives a punch to the face from Jake. "Ow" Scott mumbles, holding his bloody nose. "I saw you" Jake admits. "Yesterday, come out of Ellie's and kissing her. You'd just slept with her hadn't you" Jake shouts, and Scott shakes his head. "Calm down, you've got it wrong" Scott says defensively, and Jake punches him again, knocking him over. "STOP LYING TO ME" Jake screams, picking up a wrench as he towers over Scott. "You're right, I did sleep with Ellie, but it wasn't when you saw us, and it weren't just a five minute thing either. No, she was with me ALL night the other night" Scott teases, and Jake angrily raises the wrench above his head. "JAKE!" Ellie screams, rushing into the garage. She rushes over to Jake, trying to take the wrench from his hand. A tussle ensues, with Jake trying to get her off of him without hurting him. Ellie pushes against him as he loses his footing, falling backwards and causing Ellie to spin around and fall. Her body smacks against the car really hard and she rolls over it, landing on the other side with a gash across her head. Jake and Scott stare in shock as Ellie lies, unconscious, and Jake screams at Scott to phone an ambulance - but he doesn't.

Whilst this seems like a lot, it won't all be taking place straight as the new arrivals will be joining over the next few months. But with some more surprise arrivals planned, this must mean that some other characters will be departing...?

Amanda Lucker is stood in the doorway of her kitchen, staring at daughters Charlotte and Courtney Lucker. "You two had better explain - now" she orders, and the scene cuts to the Garage, where Jake Fielding is kneeling down next to Ellie Murphy. "Call an ambulance! Quick!" Jake shouts at Scott Green, who does not move. Jake shakes his head as he fumbles about in his overalls pocket before pulling out his phone and dialling '999'. The scene then cuts to the students flat, 9C, where Will Turner and Mia Wright are having sex in Will's bed.

"Mum" Charlotte exhales, as Amanda glares at Courtney. "Were you... having an affair with my husband?" a tearful Amanda asks, and Courtney nods guiltily. Amanda scoffs, falling down onto the sofa as she holds her hand to her mouth, shaking her head. "You're lying" Amanda says, and Charlotte sighs. "Mum..." she reasons, but Amanda shakes her head, standing up and grabbing Courtney's shoulders. "TELL ME YOU'RE LYING! STOP LYING, JUST TELL ME THE TRUTH! PLEASE TELL ME THE TRUTH!" Amanda cries. Charlotte pulls her off of Courtney as Courtney fights back tears. "It started when..." Courtney gulps. "My 18th birthday. You were away at work and I'd gone out with my mates but I... I came home early" Courtney reveals. "Charlotte was at Joel's and Chris was there and we got talking and we had some alcohol and then we..." "Where?" Amanda asks, and Courtney sighs. "The first time it was... in his bed" "In MY bed" Amanda spits, shaking her head. "You're disgusting" she hisses, slapping Courtney. Courtney steps back, clutching her cheek, as Charlotte holds Amanda back. "And it's carried on all this time, even once we'd broken up?" Amanda asks, and Courtney shakes her head. "What about the texts then?" Charlotte asks, and Courtney sighs. "I was in town over Easter and I saw him in that nightclub next to the pizza place. He owns it now. We got talking and he kissed me and then we went into the office to... y'know. And then we just started texting again" "And you didn't feel any guilt, the ENTIRE time?" Amanda spits, and Courtney scoffs. "Of course I did!" she argues. "I wanted to tell you so many times, I TRIED to tell you!" "HE WAS LIKE A DAD TO YOU" Amanda screams, and Courtney nods. "I know" she whispers, before grabbing her phone from Charlotte and storming out, leaving Charlotte to comfort Amanda.

"The ambulance are on their way, no thanks to you" Jake spits as he re-enters the garage before shaking his head at Scott, who grins. "How about we make a deal?" Scott suggests, and Jake scoffs. "A deal? My... Ellie's over there dying and you want to make a DEAL" Jake shouts, and Scott nods. "She's threatening to report me to the Police for blackmailing her into sex. If you convince her to stop, I'll cover for you, forget all about the whole wrench thing and you throwing her against that car" Scott suggests, and Jake scoffs. "I didn't throw her, we fell!" Jake argues, and Scott nods. "Just like me and her 'fell' into bed, eh?" he snipes, and Jake sighs. "How do I know I can trust you?" Jake asks, and Scott smirks. "You'll just have to take my word" he whispers, as sirens approach.

Will and Mia lie in bed next to each other, Will's arm around Mia. "That was great" Will enthuses, kissing Mia, who smiles. "Yeah, it was fun" she agrees. "How about we make this a regular thing?" Will suggests, grinning as he kisses Mia again. She pushes him away and frowns. "What, you mean like date?" "No, I mean like no strings attached. Just sex, fun" Will suggests, and Mia shrugs. "I guess. Hey, what did you say to Harry earlier? He seemed a bit... I dunno, hurt after we left" "Just told him to keep his mouth shut" Will lies, and Mia nods, kissing Will before saying she's got to get up. "Five more minutes" he says, grabbing her arm and pulling her under the covers before kissing her passionately, silencing her giggles.

"Did you find 'em?" Katie Osborne asks as Harry James re-enters the pub. He nods, before sitting down next to Darcy Hendrickse. Across the room, Kirsten Manning is eagerly talking to husband - and landlord - William Manning as they stand behind the bar. "I think it'd be great!" Kirsten enthuses. "What's this?" their son Oliver Manning asks as he passes. "Your Mum wants to hold a big 'Summer BBQ' out on the street" William admits, and Oliver frowns. "Sounds a bit... 1970's?" Oliver states, and Kirsten scoffs. "No it does not! It'll be a good way to bring everyone together" Kirsten argues, and Oliver nods. "I think it sounds good" Pamela Manning says, and William scoffs. "You would, as far as you're concerned it's free food!" William teases, and Pamela winks.

"Amanda" Emma smiles as Amanda enters the salon they both own together. Emma notices Amanda has been crying, and frowns. "Everything alright?" she asks, and Amanda nods sheepishly. "Aw, what's up?" Emma asks, and Amanda sighs. "Remember my ex husband, Chris?" "The one you were with before you moved back in with your Mum? Yeah, why?" "I found out why he left me" Amanda admits, sitting down on one of the chairs as Emma flicks the kettle on in the staff room. "Why?" she calls from the staff room, before re-entering the empty salon. "He was having an affair... with Courtney!" Amanda shouts angrily, before bursting into tears. Emma comforts her, sighing. "Aw babes" "For the last 18 months we didn't have sex at all - that's because he was too busy doing it with my daughter! All the business trips, the beauty courses, he was with her, in our bed, doing what WE should have been doing!" Amanda cries into Emma's arms.

"This is Ellie Murphy, she's 22, she's hit her head and stomach off of the bonnet of a car and has been unconscious since. There's also signs to suggest she's hit her head off of the floor during the fall" a paramedic says as he pushes an unconscious Ellie into the hospital. "Oh my God" Georgia Murphy, Ellie's sister who is also a nurse, whispers, covering her mouth in shock. "Do you want me to cover this one for you?" one of Georgia's friends asks, but she shakes her head, following the other doctors into Resus as Jake and Scott watch helplessly. Scott leans in closer to his ear. "Remember my deal?" he whispers, before heading over to a coffee machine.

Mia is making herself a cup of tea in the kitchen whilst dressed in Will's shirt when Will exits the bedroom in just his boxers. "Hey" he whispers, wrapping her arms around her. "Hiya" she smiles as Will turns her around and kisses her passionately. "You'd better get dressed before the others get home" Mia says, and Will nods. "I know, I should, shouldn't I? But I won't" he teases, and Mia scoffs. "Why do you wanna let them find you and spoil the fun" she whispers, and Will shrugs. "Because to let them find us we'd have to be doing something, and that means more fun for me right now" he flirts, and Mia scoffs. "Just because you wave your abs around doesn't mean I'm gonna jump straight back into bed with you. I'm not a slut" Mia says, pushing past Will and heading into her own bedroom. "Smooth" Harry says, standing in the doorway of the flat. "How long have you been there?" Will asks angrily, and Harry shrugs. "Long enough" he says, pulling his phone out and taking a few pictures. "This is priceless!" he laughs, but is met by a punch from an angry Will, who hovers over him. "I'm not having you staring at my body whilst having your creepy gay fantasies" Will hisses, pulling Harry up by his collar. "Delete them or I'll delete them for you" he spits, before throwing Harry down as Harry nods, petrified.

In the ED departing at Ashfield University Hospital, Ellie wakes up in a cubicle. Jake is sat next to her, and jumps up, holding her hand. "Ellie" he whispers, but Ellie pushes him off. "Get off me" she whispers, rubbing her eyes before wincing in pain and clutching her stomach. Jake supports her, passing her a cup of water. She takes a sip, and Jake puts it back on the side-draw. "I'm sorry, about earlier" he whispers, and Ellie nods. "It's fine, don't worry. I was a bitch and a slut and I regret it" Ellie admits, and Jake scoffs, holding Ellie's cheeks with his hand. "You're not a slut. It was Scott's fault. I know what he did, about the CCTV and the blackmailling" Jake admits, and Ellie nods. The pair share a passionate kiss, but are interrupted by a doctor, who enters. "Hi, my name's Joel Saunders, I'm a doctor" Dr. Joel Saunders says, and Jake wipes his lips, sitting down in the seat next to Ellie's bed. Joel is holding a clipboard in his hand. "We've done an ultrasound and CT, and everything looks fine. You're both very healthy" he says, confusing Ellie. "Both?" she repeats, and Joel nods. "You and the baby" he says, and Ellie is taken aback. "You mean... I'm pregnant?" she asks, and Joel asks. "Did you not know? I mean, it's very early stages, probably only a day or two old but..." "Oh my God" Ellie whispers as Jake looks at Ellie, gobsmacked. "I'll leave you two it. I assume this is the father?" Joel says, before leaving as Jake nods. "Jake..." "I know" Jake whispers. "It could be Scott's" he says, and Ellie nods, fighting back tears.

In a nightclub in town, Courtney enters and sighs. She sits at the bar and smiles at the barman. "Can I have a vodka and coke please" Courtney says to the barman, before showing her ID. The barman nods and pours her drink as a man approaches her. "Hey beautiful" he whispers, sitting down next to her and leaning in to her ear. "How about we head to the bathroom" he whispers, squeezing Courtney's bum. Courtney squeals, slapping him. He recoils, before grabbing her purse which is on the bar in front of her and running. "OI!" Courtney screams, chasing after the man. Courtney watches as the man is knocked down by a punch, and Courtney grabs her purse before looking up. "Josh!" she exclaims, sighing. "Courtney?" Josh asks, and Courtney nods. "Courtney" Chris Carter, Josh's brother and Courtney's former father-in-law, says as he steps forward, and Courtney smiles. "She knows" Courtney admits, sighing. "Mum knows about our affair."

This episode marks the first appearance of Chris Carter and Josh Carter, played by Jason Statham and Jamie Nichols, as well as the first appearance of recurring character Dr. Joel Saunders (David Atkins)!

This episode was going to be longer until I lost the episode, so it will be a bit shorter than usual...

Chris is shocked when Courtney turns up at his flat again, and speaks to his brother Josh. Courtney asks Chris to come and speak to ex-wife Amanda, but Chris refuses. Courtney returns home to find Amanda tearfully packing Courtney's stuff into bags, before throwing it out. Courtney pleads with Amanda, who ignores her and throws her out of the house. Chris prepares to head to work, but Josh stops him. Josh says he's called barman Caleb and asked Caleb to cover for Chris as Chris has somewhere to be, before telling Chris he's going to see Amanda. Chris reluctantly allows Josh to drive him to the house, where he finds Amanda crying. Amanda is shocked to see Chris, and the pair have a long argument, which ends in Chris accidentally admitting he only married Amanda because he was in love with Courtney. In the heat of the moment, Amanda tries to passionately kiss Chris, but he pushes her off, claiming he's still in love with Courtney. Chris leaves as Amanda bursts into tears.

Jake and Georgia are helping Ellie into Jake's car, as she is still extremely sore. Ellie lashes out, pushing Jake and Georgia off of her, claiming she's not an invalid. Ellie gets into the car as Jake admits he's worried about her, and Georgia assures him she'll be fine. When they arrive back at Jake's, the pair begin to talk about Ellie's pregnancy. Jake is convinced Ellie is keeping the baby, and is shocked when she admits she's having an abortion. Jake pleads with Ellie to keep it, and Ellie says she's not ready to be a mother, and would do a terrible job. Jake convinces Ellie that the reason she's pregnant is because they're meant to be together, and Jake kisses Ellie. The pair kiss passionately as they undress each other, before having sex on the sofa and then heading upstairs. Later, Jake's mother Victoria arrives home to find Jake and Ellie having sex in Jake's room. Victoria tells them they need to explain once they're finished, and the pair finish their passionate sex session before heading downstairs, and Jake explains to Victoria that they've been having sex for the past week, and that they want to give a relationship a go. However, Jake does not mention the pregnancy - something which Ellie is thankful for! Later, they head to the Garage to finish their sex session, and after having sex in the back of one of the cars that is ready to be serviced, Jake and Ellie discuss getting their own flat once the baby is born.

Lee and Nicole wake up in bed together, and kiss passionately. Nicole flirtatiously attempts to get him to come back to bed and have sex with him, but Lee admits he's got to get back to work, so promised to come back at lunchtime, when they can 'carry on what they started'. Lee heads to the construction office, where Mark reveals he's gonna close for the day as they have nothing booked, and he's not feeling too well. Lee insists he can manage alone, but Mark tells him he may as well take the day off. Lee is over the moon, but the mood soon change when Kiera shows up, and tells Mark they need to talk. Mark sighs as Lee says he'll leave them be. Lee returns to Nicole's flat (in the same block of his) to find her cleaning the kitchen.
