Pick of the Plots: Monday 18th March

Jack is walking on eggshells around Denise. He opens up to Stacey, seeking her advice, and she suggests that he should comply with whatever Denise asks of him.

Stacey visits Denise and convinces her to work on saving her marriage. The two women plan a family BBQ to bring both sides of baby Charli’s family together.

Later at the BBQ, there is an uncomfortable atmosphere. Stacey talks to a fragile Denise, feeling guilty about the situation. Out in the backyard, Stacey tells Jack that she wishes she could be selfish, but he needs to be there for Denise. He holds his arms out for a hug, and they share a tender goodbye kiss, but Martin walks in and catches them.

Meanwhile, Elaine and the Knight girls shower George with attention on the morning of his birthday, but their celebration is interrupted by Gloria’s arrival. Despite receiving a cold reception, George agrees to talk to his mother. However, when Gloria insists that George had a happy childhood, he becomes infuriated and loses his temper.

Elaine escorts a shaken Gloria out, and George, horrified by his outburst, hastily leaves. Later, he returns and confides his fears to Elaine before breaking down in her arms.

Elsewhere, Jean proposes The Vic as the venue for Jade’s fundraiser, and to everyone’s surprise, Linda agrees on the condition that Dean is not allowed to attend.

Back at Dean’s place, Jean becomes terrified when Jade experiences a severe coughing fit and immediately calls the doctor, much to Dean’s horror. The situation worsens when Jade takes a look at Dean’s phone.
