The latest goings on in EastEnders, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks and Doctors.
As Phil thinks about Ruby’s offer, Sharon snaps at the mention of Ruby’s name pointing out what Ruby’s father did to her. After Phil returns Ruby’s money and gives her a reality check, he reminds Stuart of his outstanding debt to get some much needed cash. Later, Phil refuses to pay for the E20 repair, insisting Sharon ask Mel to cough up while Stacey finds Ruby drowning her sorrows in The Vic and takes her home. After reassuring Stacey that she’s fine, Ruby hatches a plan to lure Ross back to Walford to prove the type of man he is.
Meanwhile, Kush plans to ask Mo to move out, but he’s distracted when she produces some fake fur coats and offers him a deal. On his stall, Kush apologises to Sonia who is annoyed about the confusion with Stuart, but his mind is soon drawn elsewhere when Bex alerts him to the fact that some real fur coats were recently stolen. Bex helps Kush get rid of the coats and appease Habiba who bought one. Later, a furious Kush orders Mo to leave but he’s shocked when she proves the coats were legitimate. Bex apologises for the mix up and when she talks about her worries about going to University, Kush is very reassuring.
Elsewhere, Patrick looks for his missing record but when Denise spots Mitch at Winston’s music stall she realises what he’s done. Denise sets a trap for Mitch with Tina’s help and when he arrives at The Vic, Denise and Patrick confront him.
Also, Linda is adamant that Jean can’t stay at the Vic but Shirley senses there is more to her disgruntlement.
