Whitney (Shona McGarty) confessed to Bianca (Patsy Palmer) that she had been sleeping with Tony for three years and they were planning to run away together. Tony denied it but when Bianca later heard him talking to Whitney, manipulating her and saying he'd go to prison if she didn't change her story, Bianca realised the awful truth. She called the police and they pulled up just as Tony was trying to run for it. He was arrested and driven away as Whitney and Bianca stood watching in the rain…
Since the moment her baby Amy was born, Roxy Slater (Rita Simons) had been badgered by Jack Branning to get a DNA test done.

Worse still, the all-important results letter disappeared…

Jake couldn't work out what was wrong with her - if only he knew!
Gennie Walker (Sian Reese-Williams) had the voice of an angel but she felt too shy to sing with the 'Save the church' choir when they took part in a contest.

But when Val suddenly had a coughing fit, Gennie came out of the shadows and gave a winning performance.
