Bully-boy and love rat builder Charlie, meanwhile, decided he’d had enough of devious David Platt meddling in his affair with Maria… so he lured the terrible teen to Maria’s flat, and he threatened to drown him in a bath if he didn’t keep his nose out of his business! Shame his secret was already out!
Elsewhere, Frankie Baldwin succumbed to Jamie Baldwin’s charms, then realised she had to escape the situation and pleaded with husband Danny to go to Spain.
