The Mill's new receptionist is trying to focus on the job.

On today's episode of the BBC daytime drama, the situation with Ollie is resolved and his parents wave him off to his new life with the army.
However, things are not good between Kirsty and Rich, and she makes it clear that she wants him to pack his stuff and be out of the house by the time she returns home from work!

He still wants to be with Kirsty, and when she arrives home from work, he's still there.

Can Zara help?
