Plot
Vera's family and friends are in shock as they reel from the dreadful news of her death and Jack stuggles to cope as Tyrone, Molly and Paul try to comfort him as he attempts to come to terms with his tragic loss.

There’s still no sign of Ryan and after visiting his friends, Steve and Michelle pay Nick a visit and Michelle fights to hide her anger as she blames him for this whole mess. Steve reassures his hysterical girlfriend that Ryan’s will come home and although Michelle desperately wants to believe him, she can't help but prepare for the worst.

David and Tina are seriously loved up and when Gail walks in on them kissing on the way up to David's bedroom, she's amused and slightly embarrassed but pleased that David seems to be acting like a normal teenager.

Elsewhere, Maria is seething when Liam tells her he won’t be able to make her appointment to view wedding venues next week as he has a business meeting with Carla and will be away overnight.
