Episode 2617 (7th December 1999)

==Plot==
Bernice is making up for lost time. With her mother safely out of the way, she presses Gavin to name a date for their wedding. But like a seasoned politician he carefully avoids giving an answer. Bernice shares her concerns with Betty. And the village matriarch decides to take action. Her pearls of wisdom strike a chord with the womanising charmer, and the pair decide to marry Valentine's Day - but will the pair still be together by then? Roy is surprised by Kelly's reaction when he admits that he would like them to have children. Terry is thrilled when Claudia agrees to go out with him for a drink. But his attempts at romance are ruined when Kathy asks to join them. Richie is stuck between a rock and a hard place when tension grows between Jack and Sarah. And the Dingles take a shine to Jason, much to Paddy's concern.
