Victoria’s family values
Victoria is causing concern in the Dales this week as her rebellious streak comes to the fore. She arranges to meet up with Leon again, but Diane and Matty are concerned about his less-than-stellar reputation and attempt to interfere. Victoria is decidedly unimpressed with this and openly irts with Leon in an attempt to demonstrate that she cannot be cowed. Increasingly anxious that she is growing closer to him, Diane and Matty step in again, but this time Victoria storms out with Leon in tow.
Returning home, the pair share a kiss, but Leon is not interested in stopping there and attempts to take things further. Despite her reckless intentions, Victoria draws the line at this and pushes him away. His pride wounded, Leon launches a verbal assault against Victoria, but then Robert arrives and throws him out. Will Victoria see sense and be grateful for her family’s intervention, or will this only push her closer to Leon?
Debbie is faced with a volatile situation of her own as she lashes out at Graham. Things get worse for the feisty Dingle when Priya serves her with an eviction notice. Later, Graham’s drunken behaviour sees Cain warn him that he needs to sort himself out, and Noah asks Debbie not to give up on him and to step in and help him. Meanwhile, trouble brews between Maya and David when his birthday gift of some decaying owers leaves her feeling underwhelmed. David then compounds the situation by turning up late for a celebratory meal.
