00:00Turn it off!
00:15This is such a mess.
00:18This is you I love, Gav.
00:20Yeah, and I love you too.
00:22Even though I know that Jean is on a knife end.
00:25I knew you were a piece of work.
00:28It's not real. It's one of those AI things.
00:31Oh, yes, yeah.
00:32Of course it's real.
00:34I'm just doing Jean a favour.
00:36Giving her proof that Othella
00:39is knocking off a geriatric behind her back.
00:42Hello, Cindy, even for you.
00:44It's not true, is there?
00:48I mean, you wouldn't...
00:50Jean, I...
00:54I am so...
00:56I'm so sorry.
01:02See?
01:03I've never had any trouble with Louis.
01:19Why won't he latch on?
01:21Why doesn't he want me?
01:24Hey, sorry.
01:26Peter, I think Cathy needs your...
01:28I'm busy.
01:30Yeah, but Mum's just told the whole pub
01:31that Cathy's been sleeping with Harvey.
01:33What?
01:34Jean's Harvey?
01:35Mum's filmed him kissing.
01:37Course she did.
01:38I've always had a niggling feeling about you,
01:39and now I know why.
01:41It's you I love, Cathy.
01:43You disgusting piece of filth.
01:45Everyone knows Harvey and Jean were solid.
01:47It's all Cathy's fault.
01:49If anyone knows about cheating, it's you.
01:51You drop your knickers faster than I'm cracking egg.
01:53It's not about me.
01:54It's always about you.
01:56Jean is broken hearted and it's all your fault.
01:58Cindy's right.
01:59Jean was saying you've been such a supportive mate,
02:01a really good friend.
02:03But what you really are, Cathy, is a backstabbing cow.
02:06Stop it, Cathy, stop it.
02:08Hey, the floor show's over.
02:13Call in time.
02:15Drink up, please.
02:18You show your face tonight, yeah, and I'll have you.
02:26Ain't you gonna say anything?
02:38Sorry, Nan, I used to last to the milk.
02:56How was the party?
02:58I got caught up at the Albert.
03:04Jane!
03:05Jane!
03:07Jane!
03:11What are you doing, Nathan?
03:13It needs to be done, otherwise there'd be nothing clean for the morning.
03:16Jane, come on, it's all right.
03:17What's going on?
03:18Jean's just found out that Harvey's been seeing someone else.
03:22Yeah, been having it away with Cathy.
03:25Jean, how about I put the kettle on, make a nice strong cup of tea?
03:28I'm all right.
03:29Actually, go to the front room, see if there's some brandy, yeah?
03:32Yeah, all right.
03:35Anne, I'm so sorry.
03:37Anne, I'm so sorry.
04:01Is this why you signed the Albert over to her?
04:03No one forced her to.
04:04It was either that or she was coming after the pie shop, the chippy, everything.
04:07I deserve compensation.
04:09You deserve to be burnt at the stake.
04:12There's no way you're getting the Albert after this.
04:14You signed the paperwork just like I did.
04:16Yeah?
04:17Well, I'll rip it up and stuff it down your throat.
04:20I'll be damned if I'm letting you have the Albert now.
04:22Yeah, well, you're damned already, Cathy.
04:24Who knew you'd served yourself up as easy as your full English, eh?
04:29Whoa, whoa, whoa.
04:30Right, you...
04:31No, no, no, no.
04:32Right, that is it.
04:33I am going to the police and you are going to be locked up for the rest of your miserable
04:37life for what you did to me.
04:39On what proof?
04:40What?
04:46What?
04:47She's admitted it.
04:48You all heard her.
04:50No.
04:51No, I didn't hear anything.
04:53Did you?
04:54No?
04:55Me neither.
04:56George?
04:57Oh.
04:58It's like no-one knows what you're talking about, Cindy.
05:00That bang on the head has obviously made you very, very confused.
05:04My money's on a mugging gone wrong.
05:07Peter!
05:08Are you hearing this, Peter?
05:11Like Dad said, I don't know what you're talking about.
05:15Thank you, Peter.
05:17Both of you.
05:18You just disgust me.
05:19This was going to be a celebration for my son.
05:22Your grandson.
05:23And your great-grandson.
05:24Oh, Peter, I never meant to do anything.
05:26After everything you said to Mum about cheating on Dad, you were doing the same with Harvey.
05:30You're such a hypocrite.
05:32I am really sorry for ruining the party, but people need to know the true Cathy.
05:37Oh, shut it, will ya?
05:39Otherwise the true Cathy will give you another slap.
05:41Oh, really?
05:42Right.
05:43What, no.
05:44Enough!
05:45Enough!
05:46I'm sick of the lawyer.
05:53You're kidding, right?
05:54You've got to let Stacey know.
05:55No!
05:56It's a pusher over the edge.
05:57Yeah, but Mum's in the kitchen in pieces.
05:58Yes, I know.
05:59But do you think having Stacey in even more pieces will help?
06:02Oi, I warned you!
06:04Come on, you!
06:05You can scream and shout all you want, but I need to see Gene.
06:08No, you ain't going anywhere near her.
06:09That's for her to decide.
06:10Look, you're just doing it.
06:11I'm really saying as simple as it seems.
06:13I need to explain to her.
06:14Is that right, Harvey?
06:15What do you need to explain, huh?
06:17What, that you had an affair?
06:18What, you want to tell Gene all the sordid details?
06:20I used to think he was an alright bloke, you know?
06:23Tell me what, you never fooled me.
06:24Stop.
06:25Because I always knew that you got hold of that mire.
06:27Not mire, just Kathy.
06:29And clearly it takes a chit, a sniff, another one out.
06:31Oi, oi, oi, oi, enough.
06:32Listen, I ain't leaving this house till I've seen Gene!
06:34Go down.
06:35There's things I need to hear from him.
06:38Gene, this ain't a good idea.
06:40Let him in.
07:04How long's it been going on?
07:20A few months.
07:30How did it start?
07:34When Martin died, you know, we was all in shock and...
07:46You...
07:47You focused on Stacey's grief.
07:49Of course you did.
07:50I wanted to help.
07:52To support you.
07:54And I tried.
07:57Everything I'd done was wrong and you shut me out.
08:01You did, Gene.
08:02You made me feel useless.
08:05Invisible.
08:06And Martin was my mate, you know?
08:08I was grieving too.
08:12And...
08:16And so was Kathy.
08:20She...
08:21She needed someone.
08:22We both did.
08:24And...
08:25And...
08:27She was there.
08:29For me.
08:33I...
08:34I don't know.
08:35I...
08:36I never meant for it to happen.
08:37It just did.
08:39But you were pushing me out, Gene.
08:41So it's my fault.
08:47I'm not saying that.
08:48You are.
08:49Actually, you are.
09:00You know, Brian had a secret family.
09:02All the time he was up north working, he was with another woman.
09:09Went on for years.
09:12I had children.
09:13I'm not Brian.
09:15You're not that different.
09:16I never wanted to hurt...
09:17Both of you decided that I wasn't enough.
09:21Both of you found someone else.
09:23Both of you lied.
09:25Both of you made me believe that everything in our relationship was absolutely fine.
09:29I'm sorry.
09:36I trusted you.
09:38With loving me.
09:40With my family.
09:43I proposed to you.
09:46Stupid Gene.
09:48Don't say that by yourself.
09:49But I am stupid.
09:51Months.
09:53And I had no idea.
09:55I have talked and confided about my feelings.
09:59For you.
10:00To Kathy.
10:01It's who I am.
10:02Stupid, stupid Gene.
10:04See this.
10:05This is exactly what I never wanted you to find out.
10:08Me and Kathy, we ended things.
10:11Because of how you feel.
10:12How it might affect your condition.
10:14My condition?
10:16What's that got to do with anything?
10:18I take my tablets.
10:19You see me take my tablets twice a day.
10:21Don't you dare blame this on my bipolar.
10:24Don't you dare.
10:26Don't you dare to spend time with anything.
10:27What?
10:30Sympathy.
10:33That's the reason you decided to end things, not guilt, or feeling like you might be making the biggest mistake of your life.
10:37But you felt sorry for me.
10:40sorry for me. You lied to me about Maya, and I forgave you because I really wanted this
10:47to work. So what, you were pretending you wanted us to work?
10:54No. I did. I did want us to work. I've been fighting my feelings, my attraction to Kathy.
11:00Oh yes, because she's so alluring, isn't she, Kathy? Beautiful, ageless Kathy. Fun,
11:06exciting, unpredictable. I'm sure she fulfills you in ways that I can't.
11:11Oh don't. Boring, domestic gene, stuck in her ways, always cooking, always cleaning, once
11:16in a blue moon, a kiss and a cuddle on the sofa in front of the television. Do you know?
11:22I am nothing compared to Kathy. And you can't even deny it.
11:36I can be unpredictable! I can be exciting! Yes! I'm having a smashing time! Showing
11:48Harvey that I'm not boring! Shall we go in there?
11:50I don't know. She wants us, she'll shout, won't she?
11:52Yeah, there's a lot. I don't have to call for an hour, does I?
11:54What's happening?
11:56You smashed the whole sink full if it helps. Thanks for giving me your permission. Could
12:04only have to clear more of it up though, wouldn't I? Because that's what I do, isn't it?
12:08Clean up mess. Me and Kathy, it's got nothing to do with you and me. I mean, of course,
12:16it does, but you've done nothing wrong. You're still the gene that I fell in love with.
12:24Then why?
12:26I don't know. I think maybe I just got tired of always coming last with you.
12:36Just Harvey in the corner, reading his paper, taking the bins out. It's like we've been
12:42together for 40 years. So, I've neglected you. That's what you've been telling yourself.
12:50Look, Martin, he shouldn't have died. He was too young. He meant too much to too many
13:00people, but me included. Me and him, we had so much in common. I don't mean just the football
13:09and the Vic. You know, we were bonded by a slate of women. We supported each other. He was my
13:15mate. I mean, did that even cross your mind? This? Again? What is this? Some sort of
13:20grieving competition? Stacey and Martin were together and had kids way before you arrived
13:26on the square. Stacey's in meltdown and I'm worried it's going to trigger her bipolar and
13:30whilst we're on the subject. Where were you when I was grieving? Whilst I was busy looking
13:34after everybody else, it was Alfie who checked in on me. But you, you were feeling so ignored
13:39that you had to rush over to Cathy for consolation. That's what you're telling me, isn't it?
13:44Well, poor you. Poor neglected you. I'm not trying to compete, Jean. And I was there for
13:51you and that kid. You were just too busy to sit. I can't do anything right, can I? It
13:56doesn't matter how much I try and show that I love you. Just keep me at arm's length.
14:00Have you ever loved me? You need to ask. Do you still love me? Of course I do. It's just...
14:27It's just...
14:32So lonely. In this house. All the people are on the noise. I'm
14:38never alone, but... I just never felt loneliness like it.
14:46And Cathy takes that loneliness away.
14:57Do you know who takes my loneliness away, Alfie? You do.
15:10I'll be able to pack my bags.
15:25Peter will come round. He always does. Yeah. Well, I hope for his sake he doesn't. Him and Lauren need to take those boys as far away from this place as possible. This house is like the Bates Motel without the welcome, Matt.
15:52Oh, stop looking at me like that.
15:57Well, I've never had you down for, um, having affairs with men in relationships.
16:06Do you remember Buster? Who?
16:09Mick's dad. I was seeing him behind Shirley's back. Now you know. I'm no better than the peroxide witch.
16:19I'm sorry, Mum. Oh, what are you doing, Alf?
16:22Will you go on back up and I'll bring you a milky drink? No.
16:26Says he still loves me, Stacey.
16:27I don't think you can.
16:28You can't, can I?
16:29As if you love someone, you don't have sex with someone else, do you?
16:31Oh, I love Bradley. I loved Martin, but I still slept with Max.
16:34I hurt Martin, but I still slept with Max.
16:35I hurt Martin.
16:36I'm sorry.
16:37I'm sorry.
16:38I'm sorry.
16:39What are you doing, Alf?
16:40What are you doing, Alf?
16:41Will you go on back up and I'll bring you a milky drink?
16:42No.
16:43Says he still loves me, Stacey.
16:44I don't think you can.
16:45You can't, can I?
16:46Because if you love someone, you don't have sex with someone else, do you?
16:53Oh, I love Bradley. I loved Martin, but I still slept with Max.
17:01I hurt Martin so much. See? I'm getting stronger every day.
17:08Yeah?
17:09I can talk about it now.
17:12Mum, this shouldn't be happening to you.
17:15Oh, shh.
17:16I'll be fine.
17:17I'll bounce back.
17:19Will you?
17:20I mean, Harvey, he just, he just fitted, didn't he?
17:25He was like my dad.
17:26He's, he's like the rock.
17:28You know, we're all going from crisis to crisis and he's the solid one.
17:33I mean, the kids, they think the world of him.
17:36How are they going to cope with losing someone else?
17:39Yeah.
17:42He is a bit like the cement holding the bricks together, isn't he?
17:50Right, erm, let's get you back upstairs, eh?
17:54Yeah.
17:55Come on.
17:57Harvey got the use of this caravan and Jean was tied up looking after Stacey's kids.
18:08Oh, is she?
18:20Now's not a good time.
18:21It's a very good time for me.
18:22Er, let her in, Ian.
18:28Jean, look, you're hurt and angry, I know, and you've every right to be, but it wasn't planned.
18:33It just happened.
18:34Whoa!
18:39Right.
18:40I, I needed to get that out of my system.
18:42I, I think you should go.
18:43Is that whiskey?
18:45Yeah.
18:46Could I have one, please?
18:48What?
18:49Ian?
18:50Thank you, Ian.
18:51Would you leave us alone now, please?
18:52What, so eat and slap her again?
18:53Ian, it's okay.
18:54I'll be upstairs.
18:57Thank you, Ian.
19:06Would you leave us alone now, please?
19:09What, so you can slap her again?
19:10Ian, it's OK.
19:14I'll be upstairs.
19:25You betrayed me.
19:27You know how much Harvey means to me.
19:30I am so sorry.
19:33I hate myself.
19:35He was my last chance after Daniel.
19:40Dean, if Harvey came to me,
19:43it's because things weren't right with you and him.
19:46He wasn't happy.
19:48Well, of course you'd say that.
19:50I think he was.
19:52So how did it start?
19:54I've heard Harvey's side.
19:56I want yours.
19:58Well, I misread the signs and kissed him.
20:03But as you'll know, he shut me down because of you.
20:07He said he had you.
20:10He was happy with you.
20:11Happy?
20:12Yeah, we were.
20:12Yeah, we were.
20:17And then...
20:18And then Martin died.
20:22Oh, yes, yes.
20:24He said,
20:26grief makes us do crazy things.
20:28I mean, I was focused on trying to help the grandchildren deal with the fact that their father was dead
20:35whilst you and Harvey were ripping each other's clothes off.
20:38No.
20:39No, it wasn't like that.
20:40And I'm not excusing what happened.
20:42But, Jean, you've got to see,
20:46if he was really happy with you,
20:48then he never would have looked my way.
20:50Harvey is a good, decent man.
20:53Yes, he is.
20:55He's my decent man.
20:58And I'm here to tell you, Cathy,
21:00that if you really are as sorry as you say you are,
21:03you will leave Harvey alone.
21:04And...
21:06What?
21:07You'll...
21:07You'll forgive him?
21:10I...
21:11I can't compete with you, Cathy.
21:15Jean, it's not a competition.
21:17Isn't it?
21:19Men will always look at you, admire you, want you.
21:24Won't me.
21:27So,
21:28what are you saying, Jean?
21:30Just because Rocky is locked up in prison,
21:35please don't take Harvey away.
21:38Well,
21:39that's not my decision, is it?
21:41I mean, that...
21:42That's for Harvey to decide.
21:44Well, I know Harvey.
21:46Anything for a quiet life.
21:49You see, it's not just me.
21:50It's the whole family,
21:52and he knows that we need him.
21:54I have been watching
21:56the pain that Stacey has been going through
21:59these last few weeks after losing Martin.
22:01Life is so short, Cathy,
22:03so yes, yes.
22:05Yes, I think I can forgive him.
22:09Well,
22:10then I promise you, Jean,
22:12I won't do any running.
22:15But if Harvey
22:16comes knocking on my door,
22:19I'm not closing it in his face.
22:21I'll put everything I need.
22:48Would you just
22:49come in the front room for a minute?
23:02There's nothing more I can say, Jean.
23:04Apart from I'm sorry.
23:06Because, you know,
23:08I am,
23:09I really am.
23:11I'm sorry enough to forget
23:12it ever happened and stay.
23:15There I go,
23:15being unpredictable again.
23:17Jean.
23:17What are you saying?
23:21Um,
23:28what I tried to do
23:29in Southend,
23:30many men would have
23:32walked away,
23:33but you didn't.
23:34Of course I didn't.
23:35And after everything
23:37that we have been through together
23:39as a family,
23:40you've stayed.
23:41And that's not because
23:42you're stuck in the corner
23:43with the newspaper.
23:44you've stayed
23:45because we matter to you.
23:47Of course you do.
23:49You all do.
23:52The way you invited my family
23:53and you gave me life again
23:55after Donna moved away
23:56and Aaron was locked up.
23:59I've never been so low
24:01and...
24:01then along you came.
24:04Because this
24:07is your home.
24:09This is where you belong.
24:11We are your family
24:12and we need you.
24:16You are the thread
24:17that holds us all together, Harvey.
24:20So if you go,
24:21I don't know what will happen.
24:22I don't need to be emotionally blackmailed.
24:24No, I'm just saying it as it is.
24:27And it's not too late.
24:28So you want me
24:29to stay for the family?
24:32Well, I've never seen
24:33Stacey like this before.
24:35The kids absolutely adore you
24:37and...
24:38well, if...
24:39if Lily loses
24:41another father figure...
24:42What about you?
24:44Oh, my feelings don't matter.
24:46Oh, Jimmy.
24:49Let's just put all this
24:50behind us, shall we?
24:51Forget it ever happened.
24:53And Kathy's agreed
24:55to back off, so...
24:56You saw Kathy?
24:57Yes, well, I made her see
24:59that this is where you belong
25:00and she knows
25:00that that's the right thing.
25:01She said that?
25:02Well, she doesn't love you
25:03like I love you
25:04and I am happy
25:05to forgive you.
25:07You want me to stay
