## Plot

Kathy and Phil's engagement party arrives. Barry the DJ sets up in The Vic as Grant gets the barrel store ready for the event. Kathy and Phil are excited for the evening. Pat has enough of David and Ricky's constant moaning. Arthur, Nellie and Pauline arrive at the party early to bag themselves a table. Geoff and Michelle show up at the same time as Pat. Geoff offers to buy her a drink but she turns it down. Bianca is certain Ricky is the one for her and gets soppy over him with Natalie. One of the beers comes out the tap cloudy, so Grant has to go to another pub to get it replaced for the party guests. Ricky meets Bianca and plans to move into her bedsit. They head to No.41 and move his things out. Grant innocently picks Michelle and Sharon's cassette tape to listen to in the car on the way to Dave's pub. He hears Sharon talking kindly about him. A conga line forms at The Vic as the party guests enjoy themselves. Grant collects the beer from Dave and heads back. He puts Michelle and Sharon's tape back on. Ricky informs Pat he has moved out. She is taken aback by his revelation. Steve gets the cake for Kathy and Phil to cut in front of the party guests. Grant pulls up outside The Vic just as the cassette tape exposes Michelle and Sharon's conversation about her sleeping with Phil.

## Noteworthy dialogue

Sharon Mitchell: "Oh, and er, what is his type then?"

## Plot

Carol has a surprise romantic evening planned for Alan. Bianca tells Alan about it when Carol annoys her. Nigel has not been sleeping for a week and it has not gone unnoticed by Debbie. She encourages him to speak up and learns he is in debt with Ian and stole the television. She is supportive and finds his theft set-up humorous. Gita looks after Steven for the day and takes him to the park to play. Alan job hunts but has no luck finding anything. Robbie stands in for Alan on Mark's stall. Arthur does not trust Robbie so keeps a close eye on him, and later catches him trying to flog all the fruit and vegetables for just £50. Della gets caught up decorating the flat with Binnie and is late for her shift at the hair salon. Steve is unimpressed with her lax behaviour, but even more annoyed to discover she has taken the kettle and some towels from the salon for herself. Sharon finds the "stolen" goods in The Vic's cellar and confronts Grant. Steven hurts his knee at the park, while Gita's fear of being targeted causes her great distress. Carol treats herself to a new look which blows Alan away. Mark uses alcohol as a coping mechanism following Joe's death. He ends up drunk and falls over a bar stall in The Vic, so is taken upstairs to sober up. He sorrowfully tells Steve that Joe's fate will inevitably one day be his.

Emine Osman

**Emine Osman**, the eldest child of Mehmet and Guizin Osman, and the older sister of Murat and Rayif Osman, was also the niece of Ali and Sue Osman.

In February 1987, Emine, along with her two brothers, arrived in the Square with their mother to live with Ali and Sue after their father's gambling led to the loss of their house, leaving them homeless.

The Osman kids quickly gained a reputation as tearaways, engaging in mischief such as stealing from the market, going missing and being found in an amusement arcade, and even releasing their pet snake in the café. They formed a friendship with James Willmott-Brown's children, Luke and Sophie, during their visits to the Square.

In May 1987, Mehmet returned to the Square and took Emine, Guizin, and her two brothers back to Turkey with him. However, the Osman children made sporadic visits to Walford with their parents, and in November 1987, Emine was involved in a firework accident.

Her last visit to Walford was attending a party celebrating the birth of her cousin, Little Ali Osman. In 1989, Guizin and Mehmet's marriage fell apart, leading Guizin to leave Mehmet and take the children with her.

## Background information

* The storyline involving Emine's firework accident in November 1987 was a purposeful effort by the *EastEnders* storyliners to raise awareness about the hazards associated with children playing with fireworks.

## Plot

It is the morning after the night before, and Sharon gives Jan a frosty reception as she heads downstairs. Ali and Sue discuss the previous night's events as they prepare to open up the café. Den sees Jan off and Ali and Sue watch him. Mary asks if she can enter the café early as she has to drop Annie off at the babysitter's early. Sue is surprised at how early the babysitter is offering to look after Annie. Sharon talks with John about his job as a kissogram, and is intrigued. John then heads over to the café and recognises Mary. He talks openly in front of Lofty and Dot about what he saw her doing the other night as a stripper: dangling her bra in front of men; Mary is embarrassed. Pauline gets stressed out when Dot arrives for her shift at the launderette late again. Dr. Legg reminisces with Ruth about his wife, who died in the Square during the war. He tells Ruth he often wonders what she would look like if she was still alive. The phone rings in The Vic and Angie answers: it is Jan. Jan asks her to meet up with her the next day. Angie agrees to meet Jan and then heads off to her marriage guidance counselling alone. Dot tells Ethel that she has joined a dating agency. Sharon suggests to Lofty and Simon that they all go into business together. Ruth visits Lou and Lou tells her everything is fine, but Pauline is not, and tells Lou she is being blamed for everything. Pauline then digs at Michelle's pregnancy before storming out. Angie returns from the marriage guidance and drinks with her pills. She overhears Lofty and Simon talking about her. Lou gives Simon a pocket watch that belonged to Albert. Angie and Jan meet up and discuss recent events. Jan tells Angie she visited The Vic impulsively. The pair wonder if Den knows the meaning of love. Michelle visits Lofty at his bedsit. Lofty tells Michelle that he feels they could help each other out, and he proposes to her. Michelle smiles at Lofty and takes his hand.
