WILL SONIA SAY SO LONG TO THE SQUARE?

Having claimed she was only after a no-strings fling with him, Carmel suggests to Masood they could make their relationship more serious after all. When Masood (below, with Carmel) admits to doubts over his travel plans, she’s convinced it’s because Masood wants to stay with her. She’ll be lucky. The woman is such an interfering nag she’s making Masood’s ex Zainab seem easy-going. I suspect more lonely nights in with Craig the cat beckon.

Denise still struggles to come to terms with the news of her pregnancy but she has her first scan and reaches a big decision about what she’s going to do. She could always just have it and then palm it off on any available market stall holder, like the rest of the mothers in the Square do.

Whitney is also worrying about her pregnancy, not least Linda’s constant interference. Perhaps a big darts match in the Vic will divert Linda from all her fussing? When team members drop out she’s forced to join the team. Will she be as bad at chucking arrows as she is at singing karaoke? And how are they going to disguise actress Kellie Bright’s real-life baby bump with no pub bar or kitchen table to hide behind?

An exciting job offer is made to Sonia that would mean moving away. As she ponders the opportunity, Sonia realises she doesn’t want Tina to go with her. So much for those commitment tattoos they had done last year.

Belle’s safe but she’s in a bad way (above) and Bailey’s convinced she’s schizophrenic – but this is the dozy doctor who didn’t notice his girlfriend was faking a pregnancy. The hospital want to send her to a clinic hundreds of miles away. You’d think getting away from her dysfunctional family would be the best thing for Belle but Lisa hopes to send her to a nearby private clinic. Will she take up Charity’s offer to stage a robbery to raise the money?

Paddy sees Pierce’s belongings at Smithy Cottage, the home he used to share with Rhona, and trashes the place in a jealous rage.
