Cue Ryan then turning up in Walford the next day – and wasting little time in both spending some quality time with his daughter and berating Jack and Sam. Later in the week, Stacey will be seen reminding Lily that Martin is her dad and has always been the one to have supported her. But at Lily’s first scan, Ryan ends up dropping a bombshell, which results in the mum-to-be making a big decision.

Denise gets steamy with Ravi

Jack wants to come through for his family, so arranges a lunch for them all at Walford East. And following a slightly shaky start thanks to Sam arriving after being invited by Ricky Jr, everyone starts to enjoy themselves.

But when Jack learns that Nugget is responsible for the bullying Ricky and Lily are enduring at school, a row is ignited between him and Ravi. Once back home, Denise expresses her displeasure with Jack’s behaviour before heading back over to Walford East in order to apologise to Ravi.

And soon enough, sparks are flying between the pair as they grow closer…
