Brenda's in touch and Oliver is looking forward to a holiday.

Jolene tells Mike that she and Kenton are getting married at Lower Loxley. Later Jolene mentions to Lilian that Kenton's asking Jamie to be his best man.

Mike's relieved to hear from Brenda that she's back in the country, safe and sound. When Oliver asks where she's been, Mike says she's been travelling around Europe.

Ian learns from Oliver that they're hoping to hire a temporary manager to run Grey Gables while he and Caroline are away.

Helen and Ian have a catch up. Ian's relieved that Caroline's back at work. Officious Lynda was taking advantage of Oliver's relaxed attitude. When Ian mentions he's disappointed that Rob couldn't join them as he'd hoped, Helen makes an excuse and heads off early.

She immediately goes over to Rob's where she tells him they can't keep avoiding each other. When Rob says her friendship means so much to him, Helen says it's a bit more than friendship - she wants to be with him. Rob wants to be with her too - but he needs to sort things out with Jess. Helen knows it's complicated, but she's spent the last couple of weeks longing for him. They kiss and Helen tells him how much she's missed him.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
