On today's episode of the BBC daytime drama, surgery nurse Luca tries to play it cool when he and co-worker, Bear Sylvester (Dex Lee), return to help volunteer Jamie with the Digital Literacy Group running at the local Community Centre.
Luca is secretly delighted when Jamie invites him to lunch.
However, Luca's excitement is short-lived because Jamie accidentally sends him a voice note, meant for a mate.
Luca hears himself being described as someone who is so in love with himself!
Ouch!
Is any potential romance between Luca and Jamie defintely DOOMED?
Kirsty Millar (Kiruna Stamell) has a broken dishwasher and the antics of her husband, Rich (Richard Atwill) to deal with.
So, the surgery receptionist is not too pleased when her Auntie Nicola (Rosie Ede, Doc Martin) arrives for an unannounced visit!
Kirsty hopes she can send Auntie Nicola packing as soon as possible.
But Rich thinks it'll be entertaining to invite her to stay on for lunch!
