Motherly comfort for Phoebe, while Lilian faces the future.

Kenton feels a bit of a hypocrite, as he and Jolene help Jennifer spread the fundraising message for SAVE by offering to update their posters. Kenton is impressed by a blog post by Jennifer. It challenges Justin Elliott. Jennifer feels he should come clean about his evil development plans.
Brookfield will be sold in March but things could take longer. Kenton promises to do what he can to speed things up, for Lilian's sake as much as his own.
Jolene invites Lilian to stay at the Bull as she recovers from Matt's betrayal. Lilian has asked Jennifer to tell the family about Matt. She knows she has to start facing life without him.
Phoebe is brisk with Kate, who drives her to Hayley's in Birmingham. When asked about her boyfriend Alex, Phoebe makes a pointed remark about sex and relationships. She has no time for explanations from Kate.
Phoebe complains to Hayley about Kate, who seems obsessed with talking about her affair now that it's out in the open. Hayley is non-judgemental. They hug as Phoebe tells Hayley how much she misses her. Phoebe feels caught in the middle between desperate Roy and Kate. She has a birthday card for her dad. Why not drop it round, suggests Hayley.

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