Jack suggests to Diane that she end her feud with Val, pointing out that she has tried to put things right by returning the money. Diane doesn’t think this is enough but she is left thoughtful when Victoria reminds her that Val stood by Diane when they thought she was going to die. Diane later apologies to her sister and offers to let her stay at the Woolpack. Val declines her offer, determined to stand on her own two feet.

Over at the B&B, Adam plays Steph at her own game and locks her in a bedroom in an attempt to force her to talk. Steph panics and shouts until he gives her the key and she quickly unlocks the door. As she calms down she tells Adam that she was locked in a cellar once and spent hours in the dark. Adam assumes that Turner ill-treated Steph but she corrects him, admitting that her brother sexually abused her as a child. How will the doctor respond to her shocking revelation?

Meanwhile, with Simon and Ivan off sick, Carl is forced to work on the bins and Del offers to help him. When they finish their work, Carl gives Del a lift home and she invites him in. Carl spots some pictures of Chas with her army mates and it is clear that he feels jealous.

Looking forward to this one as well...should be a great end to the week. In theory...

That did cross my mind when typing it

Loving this so far...Val is hilarious as usual. And Carl and Del are fab.

That was bloody brilliant...never thought Lorraine would be able to do dramatic emotional scenes like that, but I was proved wrong, she was wonderful tonight.

And I love this storyline. Exploring Steph's past and even allowing us to feel sorry for her.

Great end to a great week...

Did you never see Tricia's funeral? That was Lorraine at her very best. Did you watch that?

Yes I did watch that, and she was amazing, but it was a scene that didn't last particularly long and we never saw her grieving in any other scene. Although that was obviously part of Steph's character.

Grief often comes out in many ways, it isn't just sat in an attic crying over a shrine (Marlon I am looking at you)

Steph suffered a nervous breakdown, that was her grieving.

I know...I'm just saying,we didn't see much of it...so it didn't require any difficult acting from her. Obviously she was brilliant during the Alan/Shelley story though.

Tonight was her best performance in the show by a mile IMO.

Would it have hurt Adam to have give her a cuddle?

I know That would have topped the scene off. Although I'm not sure Steph would have allowed it...

No, he was right to keep his distance. It is time to move these two along though.. take them to the next step. She knows she can trust him now

Adam is a very strange man IMO. Excellent acting by Ms Chase but Steph sometimes reminds me a bit of Gollum.

The star of the programme again has to be Val. It seems pretty obvious that some of these ' Fakes' will be going astray. It's a bit like locking an alcoholic in a brewery.

I have to agree Val really makes me laugh a lot as well.

Disagree about Val being the star of the programme, I find her very cartoonish and I feel nothing for her.

Diane should slap her one

Yes, Lorraine did a great job. She has proven to all her critics that she has range.
