Natasha is furious when she arrives home to find Ryan in her house and after another encounter with Faye, she's determined to get them out of the village. Refusing to put up with it any longer she demands that Mark contact his friend in Dubai to organise a job for Ryan working with a fleet of limousines. Mark's clearly torn and feels wretched about using such an underhand method to get Ryan and Faye out of the village, will Ryan take the job and leave the Wyldes in peace?

Meanwhile, Carl is still avoiding Lexi and when he arrives at the hospital with Jimmy after an afternoon in the pub wetting the baby's head, Nicola is angry that Carl's clearly evading his marital problems. Meanwhile Lexi is in denial that anything's wrong between her and Carl. Will they face up to their issues or will they continue to let their problems bubble under the surface?

Tuesday 11 August

Ryan is stunned when he gets a phone call at the garage offering him the job in Dubai. Mark approaches and mentions he passed his details on to a friend in Dubai, Ryan is incredulous when he realises Mark is behind the job offer and accusing him of trying to pay him off with a dream job to make up for the way he has treated Faye, he warns him to keep away from them both.

When Faye discovers the Wyldes have set up the job , she's enraged and heads over to Home Farm to confront Mark. Natasha is fuming when Faye starts to lay into Mark telling him she knows he has feelings for his son and that's why he wants to ship him off to Dubai. Mark retorts that Faye is no better than him, she's using her son to try and win him back. Natasha ushers Faye out but she's clearly worried that Mark cares more for Ryan than he's letting on. Will Ryan turn down the job of a lifetime?

Meanwhile, Lexi is annoyed when she discovers Carl went to the hospital to visit Nicola and the baby without her, and Jimmy is taken aback when Nicola decides to call the baby Angelica without consulting him.

Wednesday 12 August

Natasha is terrified that Ryan is going to turn down the job in Dubai and is unimpressed when she arrives in the pub to find Nathan with Ryan and Faye. Ryan mentions the offer to Nathan who wonders how he got such a big break and Ryan pointedly remarks that someone with more money than sense owed his mum a favour.

Faye approaches Mark and Natasha in the pub and questions whether it's a legitimate offer, Mark reassures her it's a great opportunity and Faye retorts its a good opportunity for Mark to get rid of him. Natasha adds that it could be a fresh start for both of them and is anxious when Faye asserts she's not going anywhere. Will Faye continue to cause trouble for the Wyldes?

Meanwhile, Debbie and Michael get ready to go on a date and Debbie decides to change her tactics and play hard to get when Michael seductively suggests he come help zip her up. Debbie sidesteps his advances and it's clear she's enjoying keeping him on tenterhooks.

Thursday 13th August
When the nurse brings Angelica back from having some tests, Nicola is in the shower and Lexi's horrified when the nurse gives her the baby. She composes herself but her heart melts as she cradles the newborn, tearful she heads out looking for Nicola but finds herself feeling comfortable and proud to be holding the baby and when a passerby assumes it's hers, she can't bring herself to correct her.

Lexi is about to head back to the ward when she notices all the happy couples with their new born babies and caught up in the moment she wanders into the stairwell, watched by Scarlett who is busy running errands for Jimmy. When Scarlett arrives back she informs oblivious Nicola and Jimmy that Lexi has the baby, panicking they make their way upstairs and are horrified to find her on the roof with their daughter.

On the roof of the hospital, Nicola begs Lexi to give her baby back, but Lexi wields her power and asks Carl in front of everyone why when he's so happy to coo over Angelica but doesn't want a baby with his own wife. Carl fails to give her a straight answer and Nicola continues to plead with Lexi to give Angelica back, but Lexi continues to lay into Carl and tells Nicola this is the only way she can get his attention.

She begs him to let her try for another baby, its breaking her heart and it's all she wants. Everyone is in agreement that Carl needs to give her an answer, but he continues to evade her pleas. Jimmy urges Carl to either give Lexi some hope or put her straight and Carl finally looks her in the eyes and tells her he won't have a child with her. As a stunned Lexi takes a wobbly step back holding Angelica and demands to know why, everyone's terrified when Carl admits he doesn't love her and he never has. Faced with the truth she's been trying to hide from for months, Lexi is in the depths of her despair, will she back down and return the baby or will it result in tragedy?

Meanwhile, in the midst of the drama Jimmy and Nicola are drawn closer together and after realising how much they mean to each other, they decide to get married.

How will they feel when they discover the details of Andy's past?
