Plot
Carla gathers all her courage and tells Liam that they have to face facts – there’s something between them and its time they faced the truth about their feelings, she thinks that he knows deep down he's making a big mistake, but is gutted when he tries to ignore her and rushes out of the house to buy Ryan a new shirt for the wedding.

When Liam turns up at the flat later, she's hopeful until he storms in and angrily tells her to back off and denies having any feelings for her. Carla urges him to stop fighting it and asks him why he was calling her name when he was at death’s door in the Lakes if he feels nothing for her. Liam’s stunned and storms out. Back at No.7, Carla appears and tells Liam that if there was ever a time to be honest this is it, before trying to tempt him with a kiss, he succumbs but pulls away angry with himself. Meanwhile, Maria arrives back on the street having forgotten something and is stunned to see Carla giving her fiancee a seductive kiss.
