Plot

Eric's little plan - to damage Stella's car and blame the rowdy villagers - worked a treat. She tells him she wants him as her estate manager. Chris needs a service contract for his haulage business. Stella suggests he use Lisa. But when Laura arrives at her workshop, she discovers Lisa's business is not registered. Laura offers her help with paperwork and Lisa decides to go legitimate. Zak will not be pleased - neither will be too happy when he discovers Lisa intends to have a baby Belle christened in church, rather than go through the usual Dingle naming ceremony. And Kelly turns on all her womanly charms to seduce Roy after one of their driving lessons. Could this be to mask her hidden feelings for Scott?
