I want to be your wife.” And they sealed it with a kiss.
Lucy Beale (Melissa Suffield) made good use of her Uncle Christian’s flat, inviting over her boyfriend Olly Greenwood (Bart Edwards) as soon as his back was turned. Her dad Ian wasn’t impressed with Olly, until he found out he came from a wealthy family. But Olly’s posh mum reckoned Lucy was way beneath her son and when she told Ian that, he stuck up for Lucy, which stunned her into silence!

Jo Sugden (Roxanne Pallett) had more than enough on her plate coping with abusive husband Andy (Kelvin Fletcher) and step-daughter Sarah. So she was less than keen when Andy said Sarah had been hinting about wanting a little sister.
