Paddy confides in Marlon about what happened with Viv and confesses that although he turned her down he was tempted. Marlon can’t help feeling amused but warns Paddy not to take it any further. Later that day, Emily thinks Viv needs cheering up and invites her round for supper. An awkward Viv and Paddy agree to forget about the previous night, but both are thinking of nothing else. Over in The Woolpack, Steph announces that she is sorry and Alan can’t help but feel a slight twang of sympathy. Shelley is furious when she walks in and sees Alan with Steph. Diane, noting her anger, suggests that Steph leaves. Elsewhere Eric and Val’s money-making plan continues.
