Alicia agrees to marry David

written by Bill Taylor, directed by Peter Rose

David discusses the fake marriage idea with Alicia, but she wishes he knew how she felt about him. Pollard is exasperated when he hears of their plans, warning David that he will be left with nothing if he marries Alicia. However, David is adamant that she wouldn't do that and they are doing this for Jacob. In The Woolpack, Alicia tells Chas about David proposing, but Chas strongly advises Alicia that it's a bad idea because of how she actually feels about him. Alicia replies that her heart is already broken so it wouldn't make any difference, but she later tells David she is having doubts.

David reassures Alicia that they are doing this for Jacob and he trusts she will not leave him with debts like her sister did. Alicia asks what they will tell Jacob, and he suggests in six months they could tell him they've realised they are better just being best friends. Alicia agrees and is touched that David would do this for her, but is gutted he still doesn't know how she really feels.

Meanwhile, Holly fights Hannah's corner to Moira, as Hannah arrives with bags packed telling her mum she cannot stop her from leaving. Moira realises that she has no choice but to let Hannah go. The girls are thrilled and head to the pub to celebrate and say their goodbyes. Adam stays behind, but Alex advises him not to let them leave on bad terms. Their taxi arrives and Adam turns up as the girls head off to start their lives in London.

Elsewhere, Priya tells Robbie about Adam sleeping with Declan's ex-wife Ella, while Chas worries about Cain's determination to find out the truth.

What we thought...

We'd be more worried about Holly in London than Hannah to be honest, but Hannah is only 17 and therefore a minor so she can't just do as she pleases.

Controlling much Rhona?

Do love David...and so does Brenda it seems.

Can you pretend to be in love with David, Alicia? Its a tough job but someone's got to do it.

The one thing we won't miss about the Barton girls is their constant whinging!

Watch your step, Priya. You could be next. For God sake, don't fall over. Cameron will be underneath you like a shot!

Alex has a point for once, Adam.

Can't wait for Moira and Adam's new storyline. Its a belter!

Like a woman has never made a mug of you, Eric.

"Sharma Slapper". Erm nice, Cain. Nearly as nice as Cameron. Can't believe he can spout all that stuff so easy with Chas standing right next to him. Also can't believe how he turns into Dick Van Dyke when he's angry.

Robbie's bound to end up with Priya. She's the only person the same height as he is.

Where's Moira got spare cash from if things are so tight on the farm?

If only Chas was as good at taking her own advice...

Has Alex got a bit of a crush on Moira???

"Gone to that London". As said by a true Northerner.

Nice to see Alicia took Chas' advice to heart.

God love Marlon. Everyone should have a Marlon. Except Laurel. She doesn't deserve him.

Cain versus Cameron = HOT!!!
