Family Affairs Season 7

From BBC Pure Soap: Myra explained to Gary it was not her who told Chloe she was suffering from cancer but a school friend. Gary was livid with his mum and stormed out after a few choice words. Kelly took up the offer of a few pre-stag night drinks. Geri and Sadie wouldn't serve her any more drinks. It wasn't long before Justin ordered an ambulance after Kelly collapsed. After a lot of emotional black mail and pressure from Trevor, Yasmin conceded and decided to go ahead with the wedding after all. Marc was happy she had changed her mind. Eileen was surprised to see Chrissy and Chloe out in town when they were supposed to be at the hospital.

From BBC Pure Soap: Dave burst into the courtroom at the eleventh hour with documents proving Jake was his official career and therefore an ‘exceptional circumstance' to prevent Jake's jail term. Jake took the honest road and made an emotional speech in court. He confessed he was never Dave's carer but that he felt remorse and sorrow at his actions. He went down for 2 years. D.I Kirkdale was hot on Pete's trail; he lurked around the pub and threatened Pete that the game was up. Pete worried enough to burn any incriminating documents without a trace. Yasmin's stress levels hit a new high when she discovered gardening tools delivered to the beauty salon by mistake. Happily Trevor came by to ask a favour and took her mind off the disaster.

The police question Pete and Eileen about the fire at the cafe. Pete tells them that he was at home with Eileen all evening. Eileen confirms the story, even though it's not true. Lester, Kelly's father, finds out that she's pregnant and isn't all that happy when he discovers that everybody else in the family seems to know already. He goes to the shop to talk to Benji but he's away over night DJing. Marc invites the family round for Sunday lunch the next day. They agree. Myra returns from Spain. Gary fetches her from the airport. Earlier, Gary tried to persuade Chrissy to be nice to her mother-in-law. She reluctantly agreed. When Myra arrives she's greeted by Sadie who tells her she's off to a singles party. It's bad news for Roy. The doctors all come to the same conclusion; there's nothing more they can do for him. They suggest that Nikki should take the decision to turn off Roy's life support. She still can't get hold of Vince, Roy's father.

Pete suggests that he and Eileen postpone the wedding due to recent events. Eileen is upset by the idea; she is very upset by the whole ordeal. She tells Nikki that if she could turn the clock back she would. She calls Mike and tells him they need to talk. Sadie and Lucy agree to be Pete and Eileen's witnesses for their wedding. Chrissy wasn't very happy when Myra sent a 'few' boxes ahead of herself from Spain. Gary made a joke out of it and the girls made a game of trying to guess the contents of the boxes. The police were asking questions, the same police officer that investigated Josh Matthew's murder. They start with Nikki; she points the finger at Pete. She points out that the officer has charged him for murder before. Next, the police visit Yasmin. She tells them that Pete's offer on the cafe had not been accepted. Suggesting that he may have had motive. The police then visit Sadie's house but she's not home. Cat tells them that she's at work. On their way out, the police bum

Nikki insisted on going in the ambulance with him, despite being in a pretty bad way herself. Sadie went round to Sean and Tanya's to ask Sean to give her, Darren and Becky a lift to the hospital. Tanya says he can't because he's drunk. Sadie decides to get a cab. Sean agrees to come along to make sure everything's OK.

Roy told Pete that Yasmin had made a better offer on the cafe. Pete told him he'd pay more in cash; Roy said he'd think about it.

Benji can't get hold of Kelly and fears she's avoiding him. He's not too wrong. Kelly tells Justin that she's pregnant and that he's the father! He walked away in shock. Earlier, Justin made a move on Mel but she turned him down telling him they were just friends; she tells Kelly the same thing. Mel's upset that her family don't seem to care what she does or where she is, in fact they tell her to stay away that evening because Pete and Eileen are coming to dinner. Marc and Geri finally get some alone time but Yasmin walks in on them. She tells Marc that Nick, the photographer, is coming round tomorrow and it wouldn't look very good if he was showing a woman out. They are supposed to be the perfect couple.

She agrees. Later, Eileen tells Pete that she is planning to stay in Charnham for Lucy's sake, but refuses to return Pete's strong feelings. Sadie's busy organising a bomb fire party (to be held on Friday - because that's when people are more likely to spend their cash). She asks for Myra's help to look over a few ideas that she'd put down. Later, Myra tells Sadie that her party is old fashioned and she should liven it up a bit. Sadie disagrees and tells Myra that her help won't be required. Benji invites Kelly to the cinema in the evening. She declines because she's taking part in a play at college, he asks if she'd like to go in the afternoon - she accepts. L

Lucy got worked up and went to the pub to yell at Pete, she accused him of killing Eileen. Later, he told her that his feeling responsible for Eileen's departure didn't mean that he'd killed her, in fact he wanted to help Lucy find her mum. Lucy was undecided.
