We’ve missed the face of the lovely Helen Worth on our screens so we’re delighted to confirm that we will be seeing Gail Rodwell next week – and she’s in for one heck of a shock.
Gail has been around but as Helen returned to filming later than some other actors, she has been off screen.
But she’s straight back into the thick of the action in scenes which are about to air!
While Leanne (Jane Danson) watches over Oliver, Nick listens to a message from Sam, inviting him to join them on a day out. Nick drops the bombshell to Gail that he’s discovered he has a son from his relationship with Natasha (Rachel Leskovac) and he would love him to be a part of the family but it would be too painful for Leanne.
Meanwhile Steve (Simon Gregson) and Leanne meet with a hospital mediator but their hopes are dashed when Oliver’s doctor reiterates there’s nothing they can do for Oliver and that a second opinion would be a waste of money. Desperate Leanne vows to fight for her son, even if that means going to court.
Gail advises Nick to be straight with Leanne and tell her about Sam but Nick’s adamant that now is not the time. Nick and Tracy (Kate Ford) arrive at the hospital to find a fired up Steve and Leanne talking about specialist legal teams and spending thousands on a court case.
But Tracy reaches a decision and pulls the plug on the sale of Street Cars and Preston’s Petals, telling Steve they can’t throw away their future on a court case they’re not going to win. Steve is raging and as Nick leaves a message for his son confirming that he’d love to see him, Steve breaks down at his son’s bedside.
Gail is made up to meet her grandson for the first time as Nick promises Sam he’ll be there at lunchtime to watch him perform Space Oddity. But as Nick and Leanne attend a meeting with their new barrister he’s aware it’s overrunning and repeatedly checks his phone.
Leanne’s unimpressed and accuses him of being more interested in his phone than Oliver’s welfare. Realising he has no choice, Nick reveals that the person he’s been texting is his son.
Is Leanne set to be destroyed?
