2302: Nancy takes a disliking to Ravi

Max and Steph are on a high after making up yesterday and are looking forward to their lunch date. Steph does her best to avoid Niall but finds herself badgered into getting her hair done when Carmel finds out she's meeting Max. Niall's devastated to hear they are trying to work things out and confesses to Carmel that he and Steph shared a kiss.

He's angry when he overhears Carmel telling Mercedes but realises that Max finding out might be to his advantage. When Mercedes blabs all in Il Gnosh, Dominic feels it's his duty to tell Max. Max is gutted and refuses to listen to Steph's explanation. As far as Max is concerned, it's over.

Kieron's angry with John Paul for telling Mercedes about their relationship. Niall makes him think about what he's doing - he has to decide who he loves more - John Paul or the church? John Paul does his best to stop Mercedes blabbing but when Michaela gets wind of a secret she's determined to find out what it is.

Michaela's looking for people of local interest to write an article about but no-one's very forthcoming. Niall spots an opportunity to ruin John Paul's happiness and gives Michaela the keys to the flat, knowing exactly what she's about to walk into. John Paul's devastated as Kieron admits he's not willing to sacrifice his vocation for him, but they're both unaware that Michaela has heard every word.

Nancy meets Hollyoaks' newest resident and takes an instant dislike to him. Ravi's bemused by Nancy's behaviour when she accuses him of trying to abduct Charlie, when he has actually just saved his life! Nancy arrives at the radio station for her guest appearance and continues to rant about her run in with Ravi, not realising she's on air. Ravi's intrigued when he hears Nancy's broadcast - amused that he seems to have got under her skin so easily.

Carmel's sad that her own family isn't interested in helping her find the perfect wedding dress and although Valerie's keen to help she knows she'll never be her real family. Carmel gets excited when Valerie shows her a mood board she's created for the wedding, pleased that someone's showing an interest. But Valerie's also got her own agenda and uses the opportunity to get her nails done and secure Lauren a part time job in Evissa.
