Ryan warns Mark off Faye

Ryan's angered when Mark arrives to visit Faye and he viciously warns him not to upset her. Mark fails to see the problem with Ryan joining the army and puts Faye in her place by claiming that Ryan's not his problem.

Mark leaves and heads home to explain the situation to Natasha. He reveals that Faye asked him to help Ryan find alternative employment. At Faye's flat, Ryan isn't impressed to return home and find his mother smashing up their crockery in tears. Ryan tells her that he'll be joining the army but insists that he'll sort out her problems with Mark before he leaves.

At the hotel, Mark's shocked when Natasha insists they live separate lives for the foreseeable future. He soon begins to realise just how much everything has affected her when Natasha claims that she can see no way to revive their marriage. Are the Wyldes heading for divorce?

Meanwhile, Gennie's in two minds over whether to go on her internet date. Brenda's concerned when she assumes her daughter's going on a date with Jamie, so they're left with no choice but to explain about the internet site. Gennie reassure her by revealing that Jamie is her moral support in case the guy is a weirdo.

Later, Gennie meets her date in the Woolpack and is delighted with her catch, though she fails to notice that he feels slightly let down. Jamie attempts to console Gennie when her internet date says that that he's disappointed that she doesn't look as good as in her profile photo only.

Gennie, however, bemoans her rotten luck and claims that she'll always be alone. Can Jamie find another way to raise her spirits?
