Episode 10149 (23rd October 2020)

## Plot

Billy assures Paul that Todd was the love of his life, but is not any more. Paul remains unconvinced, worried that Billy has settled for second best. Natasha calls on Nick with a copy of the *Gazette* which contains Suki's article headlined, "Brave boy buys brother more time". Nick worries that Leanne will go ballistic when she sees it. Natasha tells Nick she'd like to make a donation of £20,000 to Oliver's appeal. Leanne is on pins as she awaits Steve and Tracy's return from Germany. Scott talks Johnny through his plan to rob Ray and his friends when they have a business meeting at the bistro tomorrow, telling him that he's got no choice but to be the getaway driver. David thanks Gary for his advice and reveals he's spoken to Roxy and agreed to sell No.8 on condition she lease it back to him. Gary masks his guilt. David mentions to Gary that Todd is back. Nick arrives at the hospital to find a fuming Leanne reading the article. Todd is annoyed that he has to sleep on the sofa when Sean returns from London with Dylan. Jenny thinks Johnny is over-stressed and worries that it's his MS. Steve returns and breaks the news that Dr Schmitz remains adamant that Oliver isn't a suitable candidate for treatment. Leanne's devastated and, after initially taking it out on Steve, decides that their last option is to make sure that Wendy is on their side. In front of Scott, Jenny tells Johnny she's booked them a few days in at a spa hotel in the Lake District to rest. Todd is put out when Sean tells Dylan he can have his room to himself while he shares the back room with him. Scott menacingly orders Johnny to get out of the Lakes trip. Gail takes a phone call from Roxy for David about the house sale. Billy reveals he's postponed his interview for archdeacon. Paul asserts that's exactly what Todd wants and orders Billy to phone them back and tell them he's on his way. Leanne apologises to Wendy for losing her temper at their last meeting and asks for another chat. Sean returns home in a panic having lost Dylan while on a trip into Manchester. Eileen orders Todd to go out and help search for him. Gail tells David about the call and he has to come clean about the house sale, refusing to change his plans. Nick and Leanne return home to clean up. Natasha calls and mentions the donation. Shocked by the sum concerned, Leanne demands to know why Nick didn't mention it earlier.
