Mike and Karen's (Jason Manford and Catherine Tyldesley) relationship was on the rocks already despite only reuniting recently five years after splitting up.

The cause of their rift was Mike snogging Hayley Cox (Claire Sweeney) behind a crab stall after a night of karaoke in The Good Ship pub, which also didn't please Hayley's boyfriend - local villain Tony Peroni (Jake Canuso), back in town after a stay at her Majesty's pleasure.

On top of the relationship drama, the death of Mrs Bookham - an elderly regular at Geraldine's hair salon where Karen works - caused a stir in town, with Geraldine (Maggie Ollerenshaw) revealing to Karen and her mum Marion (Stephanie Cole) that in the aftermath, she took a large amount of money from Mrs Bookham's purse.

Tonight

Episode two sees Mike and Karen try to get their relationship back on track whilst dealing with other problems.
