Katie returns to the village

As Charity (Emma Atkins) moves her belongings into Holdgate Farm, she can’t stop thinking about her son and admits to Tom (Ken Farrington) that she’s not sure she can handle the thought of him being brought up by strangers.

Tom confides in Sadie (Patsy Kensit) that he thinks Charity wants to keep her baby and confesses that it isn’t what he wants. Sadie seizes the opportunity and tells him that he can’t stand between Charity and her son – that he must let her go.

Meanwhile, Charity admits to an unimpressed Lisa (Jane Cox) that she can’t risk losing her millionaire fiancé, even if it means sacrificing her child.

Later, after a confrontation with Zoe (Leah Bracknell), Charity tells Tom she can’t bear to let Noah (Alfie Mortimer) go. Charity is thrilled when he tells her that if it’s what she really wants, he will learn to live with it if it means they can be together.

Over at the farm, Katie (Sammy Winward) shocks estranged husband Andy (Kelvin Fletcher) when she unexpectedly turns up on his doorstep. After discussing financial matters, Katie waits at the bus stop but is spotted by Robert (Karl Davies) before she is able to leave. He does all he can to beg her to stay, but despite his pleas Katie insists it’s too late.

Elsewhere in the village, Nicola (Nicola Wheeler) is beside herself with jealousy when she learns that Simon (Dale Meeks) and Natasha (Sally Evans) dated for ten years. She is frustrated further when she discovers that Simon has lent Tash money, and the couple have a ferocious argument.

ITV.COM Is This What You Really Want? Monday 19.07.04 As Charity moves her stuff out of Pear Tree Cottage with Tom she comes across a photo of Noah, and Tom asks her whether she really wants to give her son up? Charity tells him that she doesn’t like the thought of him being brought up by strangers. He tells her that at his time of life he wasn’t planning to raise any more kids and tells her that she must decide whether she wants to keep Noah. Charity goes to see Lisa and tells her that if she keeps Noah she will be losing Tom and his millions. Lisa tells her some things are more important than money.

Tom confides in Sadie that he thinks Charity wants to keep her son, but bringing up a child was not something he had imagined as part of their life together. Sadie tells Tom that he can’t come between a mother and her child and he must do the right thing and let Charity go. Having come to a decision Charity later tells Tom that she can’t give up her son, she’s been given a second chance and has to take it. Tom surprises and delights Charity by telling her that she is so important to him that he is willing to take on Noah as well.

Nicola is not amused when her breakfast with Simon is interrupted by his ex, Tash, who needs him to look at her fat fryer. Tash tells Simon that business is not booming and she needs money to fix the van up. Simon immediately offers her a loan of £3,000. When Nicola catches up with Simon and Tash in the Woolpack and learns that Simon has just loaned his ex a considerable sum of money Nicola asks to have a word with the fishmonger outside. Simon is left in no doubt that Nicola considers his loan proof that he still has a very soft spot for his ex.

Andy is left feeling deflated when Katie turns up to close their joint bank account and tells him that she didn’t come to see him for any other reason. As she waits to get on the bus Robert spots her and runs after her. Katie decides not to get on the bus. Robert tries to convince her to run away with him. Katie tells him that he’s had his chance and she only wanted to say goodbye properly.

Jarvis is delighted to discover that Edna has had a visit from the home help and has come to the conclusion that to accept some help is the best way to maintain her independence. Sam is pleased when Jarvis’s suggestion that he builds some handrails for Edna is accepted.
