Review :-

Jimmy, Matthew and Carl are concerned when they realise Charity has her eye on Tom.
Syd and Danny clash over the suitability of their new and provocative flatmate.

Scott and Zoe share a lingering kiss.

At Home Farm, Zoe (Leah Bracknell) hosts a dinner party. After one too many drinks, she becomes tipsy and attracted to one of the female guests, but is embarrassed when she is promptly knocked back.

Ashamed of her needy behaviour, Zoe confides in Paddy (Dominic Brunt), telling him she is destined to be a spinster for the rest of her life. Kind-hearted Paddy tries to reassure his friend.

After most of the guests have left, Zoe and Scott (Ben Freeman) sit together quietly and she asks him if he would like to be Christopher’s godfather. He agrees and as she rests her head on his shoulder there is a moment between them. Zoe slides her hand onto his knee and they share a long lingering kiss.

When Paddy walks in, they jump apart and Zoe rushes upstairs to see to Jean (Meg Pearson) who has started to cry. Paddy confronts Scott angrily, assuming that he was trying to take advantage of Zoe. Scott is adamant that it was Zoe who made a move on him.

Elsewhere, the Kings continue to plan the party of the year, in the hope that it will win the locals over, following their opposition to the development of the cricket pitch. Charity (Emma Atkins) has a brainwave, suggesting they hold the party under the guise of Tom’s (Ken Farrington) 65th birthday so as not to raise suspicions.

Feisty Chas (Lucy Pargeter) finally gives in to Carl’s (Tom Lister) powers of persuasion and agrees to go on a date with him. Having played hard to get so far, it doesn’t take long before they’re on very familiar terms, having sunk several pints in the Woolpack.

ITV.COM I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry Friday 30.04.04 Zoe finds herself feeling lonelier than ever after she makes a pass at a woman during the Chamber of Commerce dinner party at Home Farm. Unfortunately for Zoe the woman is straight. Drunk and sorry for herself Zoe tells Paddy that she is frightened of spending the rest of her life alone. Later, as the guests leave, Zoe asks Scott to be Christopher’s godfather. She tells him how much she really appreciates him and as they kiss Paddy walks in. As Zoe goes to see Jean, who has woken up, Paddy confronts Scott and accuses him of taking advantage of Zoe.

Charity continues to make herself useful to the Kings by suggesting they say that the party for the villagers is to celebrate Tom’s 65th birthday. When Tom mentions the reason for the party at the Chamber of Commerce dinner party Eric Pollard sees through the ruse and suggests that he thought the party would be an attempt to gain public approval for the development of the cricket pitch. When Charity spreads the word about Tom’s birthday it is greeted with cynicism in the Woolpack too.

After Chas runs into Carl and his two kids at the farm, they talk about how awful they feel they are at being parents. Chas agrees to meet Carl later for a drink. Before meeting up with Carl Chas overhears Danny and Syd discussing the fact that they’ve moved in together. With a little help from Diane, who helpfully tells the lads that Chas used to work as a stripper, the lads agree to let her move in. Chas and Carl get drunk in the Woolpack and stagger back to Holdgate Farm together.
