Seasons & episodes

Nicola and Mia worry about the party when Ella heads out and refuses to say how long she's going to be. Adam and Ella then drive into town and check into a hotel. As the party begins, everyone wonders when Ella will show up and Declan starts to get annoyed. Lying in bed, Adam's worried when he sees that he's had several calls from Mia.

Ella still hasn't turned up for her party, so Declan suggests they wrap it up. As people start to leave, Mia sees that he's embarrassed by the party's failure. When Ella finally returns home, she's defensive when Mia wants to know where she's been. Soon afterwards, Mia listens as Declan and Ella argue.

Paddy feels terrible when Aaron explains that he's in the way at Smithy Cottage and thinks moving in with Chas is a good idea. When Paddy arrives home, he tells Rhona and Marlon that Aaron's moving out and Rhona has finally got what she wanted. As their argument escalates, Paddy tells Rhona that Chas has been a rock for him, and Rhona realises that Paddy was talking to Chas on the day she was giving birth.

Adam's tempted when Ella tells him that she's booked them a hotel room. Soon afterwards, Ella's pleased when Declan flirts with her, but tells him that she's heading out to meet her salon manager. When she goes to get her coat, Declan scrolls through her phone to find the last number she dialled.

Mia's concerned when another argument breaks out over breakfast between Declan and Ella. Later, in the pub, Adam tells Ella that he's not interested in seeing her again, but she furiously insists that he's not allowed to tell her what to do.

Early in the morning, Paddy brings Rhona a cup of tea in bed and isn't happy to find a fully clothed Marlon sleeping with his arm over sleeping Rhona. Sensing the tension, Marlon makes an excuse to leave. Paddy refuses Rhona's offer of breakfast, annoyed that she's giving him a hard time about wanting to spend time with Aaron.

After meeting with the vicar to talk over the funeral arrangements, Hazel assures Aaron that he doesn't have to attend the funeral if he thinks it'll be too hard.

Cameron's uneasy when Charity pointedly tells Debbie to call her if she needs anything and he doesn't believe her when she asserts nothing's wrong. In the pub, Cain asks Charity what was going on earlier between her and Debbie, and he's devastated when she reveals that Debbie had a miscarriage.

As Aaron waits to be called into the hearing, he phones Chas and Paddy and tells them that he wants them to attend the funeral rather than see him in court. Chas tells Paddy that she's going to do exactly what Aaron asks of her this time.

Charity tells Gennie and Katie that she needs their help to get Chas drunk tonight. Later, in Victoria, Katie twigs that Gennie has a crush on Nikhil just as Chas and Charity arrive laden with drinks.

Gennie leaves for work, ignoring Chas' attempts to patch things up. Seeing Nikhil in the village, Chas asks for a word and he's gutted when she breaks up with him, explaining that they're not right for each other and she's only holding him back from meeting someone more suitable.

Ella is uneasy when Declan tells her that he's going to have a word with Adam. After a day out shopping together, Ella starts to realise how much Mia liked Adam. At the same time, Declan asks Adam why he broke up with Mia and sacks him when he doesn't give an adequate reason. Returning to the house, Mia makes herself scarce when she discovers Declan's firing Adam, but Ella storms into the office to confront Declan.

Adam tries to deny the affair, but Declan realising the truth warns him to get out. Ella realises that she might have gone too far when Declan's incredulous she would ruin her daughter's happiness just to test whether he still has feelings for her. Mia questions what they're arguing about, but Declan doesn't reveal Ella's cheating and takes the flak for firing Adam.

Charity's unimpressed when Jai agrees to let Ella stay the night until Declan cools off. At the same time, Declan refuses when Mia asks him to let Ella move back in. Tipped off by Jai, Declan turns up at Holdgate and storms inside to confront Ella, asking her for a word outside.

Mia is desperate to find out what's going on between Declan and Ella, but Declan refuses to give anything away. At the same time, Charity's not happy when Jai agrees to let a hungover Ella stay for as long as she needs.

Alicia realises that Andy's still annoyed at her for announcing their possible move to Spain and promises to keep quiet from now on. At the same time, David assures Leyla that Alicia will have forgotten about Spain in a week, but Leyla's silent when Alicia tells her that she's thinking of Jacob's future.

Alicia is unwilling to talk to Leyla about Spain again. She tells Andy that she knows Leyla will try to sabotage their move, but she's determined not to let her. Alicia and Andy are pleased that Jacob is excited when they tell him their plans, but Leyla's horrified to realise Alicia means business.

Alicia warns Leyla not to tell Justin about the move when Leyla suggests that she should inform him what she's planning. David's worried about how Leyla will react when he hears Alicia announce that she and Andy are going to Spain for a property hunt and brings her a bouquet of flowers as he breaks the news.

When Nikhil tells Jai that he's taking Gennie out of work for the morning, Charity offers herself as the replacement PA in Gennie's absence. Returning from picking up his new company car, Nikhil's furious to find Charity at his desk, especially when she tells him that she's persuaded a client to increase their order.

At the hospital, Nicola and Jimmy are united in their relief that Angelica's okay and Nicola seems to be softening to the idea of allowing Jimmy more access. However, when Brenda lets slip that Rodney has let Jimmy watch Angelica behind her back before, an argument breaks out and Nicola forbids Jimmy from seeing his daughter. After a bottle of wine, Nicola admits to Laurel that she still loves Jimmy.

In the pub, Jimmy buys Gennie a drink as they have a laugh together. After seeing Nikhil look over, she agrees to go back to Mill Cottage. At the same time, Rodney's hopeful as he hears Laurel persuade Nicola to give things another shot with Jimmy.

Nicola arrives in the morning to talk to Jimmy, who panics when he realises that Gennie is asleep next to him. Completely unaware of what happened the night before, a hungover Jimmy begs Gennie not to leave the room until he gets rid of Nicola.

David assumes that Jacob has lost his phone but is suspicious when Leyla stops him trying to look for it. Having found the phone in a drawer, he realises she must have hidden it and angrily confronts her. Leyla admits that she was wrong to take the phone and promises she'll give it back to Jacob.

Charity plots how to get back into Jai's good books when he mentions they have an important meeting with a client later. Remembering him from her time in the business, she informs Jai that his favourite drink is a single malt. Jai and Nikhil know they have their work cut out with him and they're unimpressed when Charity arrives dressed to kill and invites herself along to the meeting.
