Extended Summary

It’s the eve of Leah and Vinnie’s wedding, Leah is totally stressed out by the divisions in her family. Alex was telling everyone about Con’s dodgy work practices, even calling him a crook! After Theo and Alex argued, Leah burst into tears and told Theo he’d spoilt her wedding. Now Leah is totally worried about how the wedding will turn out.
All the women in the bridal party (including Vinnie’s mum) took park in the Greek tradition of the bed turning ceremony. It’s meant to be good for fertility or something. Anyway, Colleen was hilarious ’cause she thought she’d muck it up. Vinnie’s mum, Stella, was also a riot. She seemed unsure of herself with all these Greek traditions. After the bed-turning ceremony, Sally was very quiet. Shauna asked her what was worrying her and she just said that all the wedding talk brought back memories of her own wedding.

Stella gave Vinnie his father’s cufflinks and she told him he still has time to back out of the wedding if he wanted.

Alex met a brooding Dani earlier today and is as keen as mustard. Dani started flirting with him. She’s definitely on the rebound. It seems that she’s just trying to get back at Will. Will Dani and Will be able to reconcile?
