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

Simon confesses to Nicola that she is the love of his life

Guilty for tearing the Sugden family apart, Katie (Sammy Winward) calls Andy (Kelvin Fletcher) and he eventually agrees to meet up with her. In hope of a reconciliation, Andy spruces himself up before meeting with his estranged wife.

To Andy’s fury, Katie begins by insisting that they must all get on for Robert’s (Karl Davies) sake. He is outraged that he has met Katie under false pretences, raging that she wants to talk about Robert. He tells her he wishes he’d used the gun when he had the chance and threatens that next time he sees Robert, he is a dead man.

As Marlon (Mark Charnock) is back on form in the kitchen, Carlos (Gary Turner) bids a sad farewell before heading off to work in a restaurant in Alicante. As he leaves, Carlos tells Simon (Dale Meeks) to look after Nicola (Nicola Wheeler) as she is special; Simon admits that she is the love of his life.

Later, Nicola and Simon finally admit they love each other. Simon confesses he has loved her since the first moment he clapped eyes on her! Has Nicola finally found her soul mate?

Elsewhere, Edna (Shirley Stelfox) is far from impressed when Len (Peter Martin) agrees to take part in the poker game. Meanwhile, in need of gambling money, Pearl (Meg Johnson) asks Nicola for an advance on her wages.

ITV.COM How Dare You? Monday 17.05.04 When Katie calls, Andy agrees to go and see her. Assuming Katie has asked him over so that he’ll take her back Andy furious when he discovers this is not the case. When Katie says that she wants him to get on with Robert for the sake of his family Andy goes ballistic and calls Katie a bitch. He storms out of the caravan and as she comes after him he pushes her to the ground. He tells Katie to tell Robert that the next time he sets eyes on him he’s a dead man.

Carlos’ brief stint in the Woolpack kitchen has done wonders for Nicola and Simon’s relationship. Simon is chuffed to bits to hear Nicola tell him that he loves her. When Carlos bids farewell to them he asks Simon to look after Nicola and Simon admits that she’s the love of his life. But Nicola gets upset when Simon jokes about Nicola running away with Carlos and he has to apologise to her and they agree that they love each even though they don’t really understand each other.

Sadie King continues to upset the locals. This time she has a run in with Emily who tells her that her huge dog, Damon, is not allowed in the shop. Emily gives as good as she gets and Edna Birch also gives Sadie a hard time over the King's building workd. Other locals are more impressed. When Sadie turns up at the Antiques Barn Rodney tells her that his door is always open. Later when Rodney and Danny see Sadie out riding Rodney develops a sudden interest in taking up riding and asks Charity where Sadie stables her horses.
