1. Mandy’s money problems escalate

Mandy fears she’s going to lose everything this week as her debts continue to mount. It’s all going on for the PampaManda owner, who’s set to tie the knot with Paddy soon. But she’s been hiding the truth about her financial crisis from her husband-to-be.

Business has been painfully slow at the salon and the lack of clients has meant Mandy’s had no money coming in.

Having kept the problem to herself for weeks, Mandy finally opened up to new BFF Rhona. She urged Mandy to be honest with Paddy and explain how bad things have got.

But in typical Mandy fashion, she thought she could sort things without Paddy having to find out. What’s that they say about pride coming before a fall?

2. Will Mandy confess all to Paddy?

As Mandy’s cashflow crisis deepens, she questions how much longer she can hide the truth.

Oblivious Paddy is cracking on with their wedding plans, with zero clue Mand’s so far in the red. The couple head to The Woolpack to discuss their big day. But will Mandy take the opportunity to ‘fess up before things spiral even further?

Honesty is high up on Paddy’s priorities. Having only just recovered from ex-wife Chas’s betrayal, how’s he going to react to the discovery that Mandy’s been keeping secrets from him?

Could her betrayal cause him to call off the wedding?

3. Jai and Laurel call a truce – sort of!

Jai and Laurel’s divorce war could be headed for a ceasefire as the exes face a painful anniversary. It’s coming up to a year since the former couple tied the knot, and the same day that Rishi died.

Jai’s father’s lifeless body was discovered at the bottom of the staircase at Holdgate. It was thought Rishi had tripped and fell, but later revealed his brother Amit had pushed him.

The revelation set in motion a chain of events that led to Laurel and Jai’s break up, which has turned increasingly ugly. But despite all the recent rows, things seem vaguely civil when the pair meet to discuss Rishi’s memorial.

Just don’t bet on it lasting long.

4. Fears for Belle mount

Meanwhile, there’s growing concern for Belle’s wellbeing. The Dingles are on a mission to save her as they fear for her fragile state of mind.

But having ended her marriage to Tom, is that really enough to keep him away from her for good? Or is his worst yet to come?
