Review :-

Simon plans the ultimate commitment to Nicola unaware that he is heading for a fall.

With the villagers already rallying around Andy, Katie feels even more isolated when Robert reconciles with Jack.

Zoe feels the backlash of her relationship with Scott.

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

Simon plans to propose to Nicola, but catches her with Syd

While Nicola (Nicola Wheeler) gets dolled up for her school reunion, Simon (Dale Meeks) is blissfully unaware that she is secretly taking Syd (Nathan Gladwell) and wishes her luck before heading off to find Rodney (Patrick Mower).

Simon explains to Rodney how special Nicola is to him, and asks for her hand in marriage. Rodney is thrilled and the celebrations commence.

Later, Nicola and Syd return after a successful evening, and – misreading her signals – Syd makes a pass at an outraged Nicola who is insistent that she has a boyfriend.

Unbeknown to Nicola, Simon has witnessed the exchange and is devastated by what he has seen. He later visits Nicola and asks her about her night. When she tells him it was boring and that she spent most of the evening alone, the knife cuts deeper and he leaves. Has Nicola blown her chances with Simon for good?

As Jack (Clive Hornby) and Diane (Elizabeth Estensen) make marriage plans they are eager to include Robert (Karl Davies) and invite him over to dinner. Katie (Sammy Winward) later asks Robert if the invitation extends to her, but when he insists he doesn’t want to push his luck, Katie is left feeling excluded.

Elsewhere in the village, Zoe (Leah Bracknell) has to contend with disapproving comments from Viv (Deena Payne) and later from Charity (Emma Atkins).

She later lets off steam to a very understanding Scott (Ben Freeman), who tells her that she needs to learn to trust him. They share another kiss, but sensing Zoe’s discomfort Scott backs off. Is Zoe already beginning to have doubts about their relationship?

ITV.COM Friends Reunited Wednesday 02.06.04 As a glamorous Nicola sets off for her school reunion with Syd in tow, intent of provoking envy among her former classmates, Simon wants a quiet word with Rodney about his daughter. Rodney is delighted when Simon asks him for Nicola’s hand in marriage. Unfortunately for Simon the Woolpack is not the ideal place for a discreet chat with his prospective father-in-law and soon the champagne is flowing and half of the village know about Simon’s plans to pop the question.

Nicola and Syd have a great time at the school reunion. Syd thinks that Nicola has been coming on to him and makes a pass at her. Simon is in for a shock when he goes to greet Nicola on her return and witnesses her having an altercation with Syd as they get out of the taxi. Having heard most of what was said between the arguing pair Simon waits until Syd has gone and then mentions to Nicola that he saw her get out of the taxi. Nicola doesn’t take the opportunity to explain what’s been going on but tries to seduce a horrified Simon.

Diane and Jack decide to set a date for their wedding. Diane invites Robert over to celebrate but when Robert asks about Katie Diane tells him not to push it. When she finds Katie talking to Victoria outside the shop Diane tells her to keep away from her. The pair have a run in at the pub when Diane finds Katie doing her revision when she’s supposed to be working. Knowing where’s she’s not wanted Katie decides to quit her job.

Viv and Charity give Zoe a hard time about her relationship with Scott. Charity hits a raw nerve when she tells Zoe that she’s really only interested in Scott because she wants to have a family and respectability not because she’s interested in Scott.
