--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Terry is furious when Dawn’s mum gets his house valued

Marlon (Mark Charnock) breaks the news to Sam (James Hooton) that he has had a call to say Zak (Steve Halliwell) has been arrested at customs for smuggling the vine. Sam is devastated, reminding Marlon that they were going to use the money to pay for his brief.

Determined not to lose the payment owed by Rodney (Patrick Mower) for the vine, Shadrach (Andy Devine) buys an imitation from the garden centre but his scam backfires when he forgets to take the label off.

Meanwhile, rumours about Shelly’s (Carolyn Pickles) gold digging start to spread and the village gossips have a field day. Shelly remains oblivious, but after constant abuse from Steph (Lorraine Chase) at work she decides to resign from the factory.

Terry (Billy Hartman) is furious when Louise (Emily Symons) tells him that she has seen an estate agent valuing his house. He accuses Dawn (Julia Mallam) of trying to sell the place from under him and Dawn is angry with her mother.

At the pub, Chas (Lucy Pargeter) tries a new tactic to win votes in the ballot box by wearing a tight t-shirt saying ‘Chas needs you’. But after claims of rigging, Diane (Elizabeth Estensen) declares the election void.

ITV.COM Heard It Through The Grapevine Tuesday 13.07.04 When Marlon breaks the news to Sam and Shadrach that he has had a call to say Zak has been arrested at customs for smuggling Rodney’s vine Shadrach sees a moneymaking opportunity. All they have to do, he tells Sam, is go to the garden centre and buy a grapevine and pass it off as the vine Zak was supposed to bring back. Sam agrees to help believing that the money from Rodney will help keep both him and Zak out of jail. Their scam is soon rumbled however when Rodney spots the garden centre label on the plant.

Steph continues to make Shelly’s life a misery as she throws more of her work in the bin and docks her wages yet again. Shelly takes the afternoon off and runs into Eric, who has a go at her for skiving. Shelly tells him the headache she is suffering from is called Steph Stokes. Eric tells her to take some time off. Later, in the Woolpack, Shelly tells Eric and Steph she's leaving the factory. Meanwhile, across the bar, Viv gossips with Pearl and Val, who is only too ready to believe Steph’s poisonous insinuations about Shelly’s intentions towards Alan.

Louise is alarmed when she sees an estate agent outside Terry’s house. Upset by the idea that Terry is selling up without telling her about it Louise congratulates Terry on the estate agent’s valuation of his property. Terry is nonplussed and rushes off to confront Dawn, who has no idea what’s going. Jean confesses that the valuation was her idea. Dawn angrily tells her mother that she can help her by not ‘helping’. Terry apologises to Dawn but asks her why she wants to take TJ to Spain when her mother is obviously insane?

Danny counts the votes in the Woolpack barmaid ballot and it transpires that Chas has 211 votes. Jarvis reminds everyone that that is actually more people than there are on the electoral register for the village. Danny then announces that Val has won the ballot with 212 votes. Diane is quick to declare the ballot null and void and decides to settle matters with an old fashioned toss of a coin, which Chas wins. Chas later infuriates Diane by announcing that she’s off on holiday with Syd, which means Val will be back behind the bar.
