Theresa Mullen is about to be married to her fiance Eddie Ryan, but things don't always turn out as you plan.

Theresa and Eddie have returned from their honeymoon in Cornwall and are looking forward to spending some time together in their new house, but when the arrive home they find that Theresa's father and brothers Matthew and Luke have let themselves in!

Shazza lives in Beaumont House, a residential home. Today is her 20th birthday and she is told it is about time she found somewhere else to live independently. Shazza is upset by this news and takes her usual pick me up of drugs and heads off to the training session.

Jo is taking the news that her mother is really Theresa badly. She refuses to speak to her as she cannot believe that such a big secret has been kept from her for 19 years. It is a week after Jo first heard the news and Theresa refuses to give up on her. The rest of the team know something is wrong but don't know what.

The team have returned from their match at London, but for Geraldine there is no cause for celebration. Dave knows all about her affair with Rick and confronts her. They end up in a heated argument when Geraldine in her anger goads Dave about Rick's sexual performance.

Geraldine and Dave are back together and are trying hard to make their relationship work. Eddie has a proposition for the Mullen family when he asks for their help to plan a surprise wedding for Theresa. On the day of the big match at Nottingham, Gary phones Gabby and tells her that her time off work has been canceled and they need her in. Gabby is furious, nothing is going to stop her playing after all the training she has done.

7 months later and Geraldine is well on the way to giving birth to her first baby.

Jo has finished her training in London and is heading back to Castlefield when a young man named Ryan sits next to her. He is Jim Pratt's son who has just finished his jail sentence, unbeknown to Jo who seems to be warming to his cheeky nature.

Luke is still suspicious of Shazza and demands to know where she has been going all the time, which leads to a argument and Mrs Mullen doesn't make things any better when she tells them the house is not big enough for the pair of them, if all they can do is argue! Shazza storms out and heads off to her driving lesson on the buses, which is secret she has been keeping. She didn't want to tell anyone until she passed.

Rita's daughter Vicky shocks Rita when she tells her that she has decided to quit college and find a job instead. Rita wanted more for her daughter and didn't want her ending up like herself still training at 40. She is even more furious when Vicky mentions that she has already discussed it with her father, Graham.

Rita is still reeling after sleeping with her ex husband Graham and goes home to John who has been out searching for her. In her anger she tries to cause an argument with John over Mikey who he has let stay the night after he found her sleeping rough in the club house.

The guilt becomes too much for Rita to take and she ends up breaking down and confessing everything to John.

Shazza still hasn't gave Luke an answer over whether she will marry him or not, which is frustrating him as he needs to know, good or bad!

Angie has applied for a promotion at work, and to prove her commitment has been assigned to investigate benefit fraud, she is pleased until she discovers Shazza Pearce's name on her file.

Shazza gets her job back on the buses, as the company are short staffed and cant afford to lose another driver.

Geraldine goes to see the doctor to see why she is having so much trouble losing weight after having the baby, and is shocked when the doctor tells her she is pregnant again. Geraldine is devastated by the news, it has been hard enough to cope with baby George over the last weeks, never mind another baby coming so soon.

Dave one the other hand is ecstatic and cant understand why Geraldine is so depressed.

Eddie and Theresa are back in their own house at last after Ryan, Matt and Luke have finished repairing it, and Eddie thinks now is the perfect time to think about starting a family. Theresa agrees and throws away her pills!

They are happily planning their future when there is a loud noise and they notice a huge crack in their living room ceiling.
