Cue Ryan then turning up in Walford the next day – and wasting little time in both spending some quality time with his daughter and berating Jack and Sam. Later in the week, Stacey will be seen reminding Lily that Martin is her dad and has always been the one to have supported her. But at Lily’s first scan, Ryan ends up dropping a bombshell, which results in the mum-to-be making a big decision.
Denise gets steamy with Ravi

Jack wants to come through for his family, so arranges a lunch for them all at Walford East. And following a slightly shaky start thanks to Sam arriving after being invited by Ricky Jr, everyone starts to enjoy themselves.
But when Jack learns that Nugget is responsible for the bullying Ricky and Lily are enduring at school, a row is ignited between him and Ravi. Once back home, Denise expresses her displeasure with Jack’s behaviour before heading back over to Walford East in order to apologise to Ravi.
And soon enough, sparks are flying between the pair as they grow closer…

Denise, meanwhile, is finding herself interrupted by Ravi, who calls round to No 27 to express his growing desire for her. She tries to fight her feelings, but is left crushed when she overhears Jack telling Sam that Amy is responsible for their date and not him.
Sharon offers to buy Mick’s share
Linda confides in Sharon about bad news she’s received: Janine still wants to sell Mick’s half of the Queen Vic.
Wanting to help her friend, Sharon then makes Linda an offer she can’t refuse – she’ll buy that 50 per cent share. However, Eve overhears their conversation and decides to put Suki forward as a potential buyer in a bid to regain her trust. But when Eve subsequently learns that Nish and Suki are recommitting their vows of marriage, she worries that she’s lost Suki for good.
Phil tries to help Billy
After noticing that Billy is struggling financially, a guilty-feeling Phil puts an offer of a job his way.
Initially, though, Billy isn’t keen and mouths off at Ben, who eventually persuades him to take the work, pointing out that the much-needed money could help where Lola’s declining health is concerned.
Keanu is a hit
Someone else in need of a career boost is a wayward Keanu, who’s invited by Chelsea over to Peggy’s with a plan to land him a job.
After an inebriated customer then gets a bit aggro with Sam and Chelsea, Keanu intervenes and saves the day. But are his actions enough to convince Sam?
