Sarah is drinking with the enemy

After Nick finds none other than Damon sitting at his desk, he’s menacingly reminded of the financial interest he still has in the business. And what’s more, Damon has hired a new solicitor who Nick might have heard of.

By the week’s end, Evelyn will be left reeling following the death of her beloved pet and brands the café a death trap. Roy, for his part, tells Nina he’s ditching his mobile phone as, had he not been distracted by it, he’d never have dropped the cake and Cerberus would still be alive.

Paul is in a financial fix

Gemma confides in Paul that the wedding venue is demanding full payment or the whole thing’s off. And following this chat, Dee-Dee then overhears Paul on the phone to his bank.

Paul will also be seen revealing to Dr Gaddas that there’s been no improvement in his hand, so the GP refers him to a neurologist. The trouble is, the neurologist informs Paul that the problems he’s experiencing are unlikely to have been caused by the accident. A shocked Paul then learns from Dee-Dee that, if this is proven to be the case, he won’t be entitled to compensation.
