Playing the Field

Theresa Mullen is about to be married to her fiance Eddie Ryan, but things don't always turn out as you plan.

7 months later and Geraldine is well on the way to giving birth to her first baby. Jo has finished her training in London and is heading back to Castlefield when a young man named Ryan sits next to her. He is Jim Pratt's son who has just finished his jail sentence, unbeknown to Jo who seems to be warming to his cheeky nature.

It is the day of Ryans's court case over the stolen van, and he is panicking that he is going to go to jail. Unbeknown to everyone he and Jo are still together, but Jo is torn between her family and him and is confused what to do for the best.

Mr and Mrs Mullen are happily preparing for Luke and Shazza's return from their honeymoon, and Mr Mullen has planned a surprise for them when he shows his wife Mary the caravan he has bought for them to live in, a bargain at £120! Mary is not so convinced though and tells her husband that they can start their married life in that thing, they will be divorced in a week!

Now the proud mother of Jessica, Jo finds herself on the Blues sub's bench thanks to new coach Gordon.
