2641: Ash reveals a shocking family secret
The Roys have an anxious time waiting for news of Ravi's condition as he lies unconscious in hospital, while a guilty Ash finds himself ostracised from the family. Anita struggles to cope with seeing her brother so ill and terrified about what could happen, she lashes out at Ash. The family, however, are forced to pull together when Ravi's sedatives are stopped as they wait to see if he'll wake up.

An eye flicker fills the family with hope but it's short-lived as Ravi remains in an unconscious state. Bel's struggling to cope and asks Leila to be civil to Ash for Ravi's sake but Leila can't hold back for long when he tries to blame anyone but himself for what happened. Bel's forced to step in and as an argument ensues, she eventually tells Ash to go.

Ash refuses to leave and goes straight to see Ravi where he finds Anita having a quiet moment alone with him. Anita doesn't want Ash there but needing to talk to someone, she engages in conversation with her elder brother. Wound up after his argument with Leila and his mum, Ash reveals a shocking family secret to a stunned Anita.

Meanwhile, Nancy's shocked when Kris rushes to tell her that Ravi's critically ill in hospital after taking part in an illegal street fight. He also informs her of his brain aneurysm. The pair put their mutual bad feelings aside to support Ravi.

Nancy's terrified about seeing him, not knowing what state he'll be in when they get to the hospital. She's shocked that he didn't tell her about his illness and when she sees him lying motionless, she's left speechless.

Kris and Nancy bond over their concern for Ravi, but Nancy's horrified when Ash announces that Kris knew everything about Ravi's condition and didn't stop him fighting.

Elsewhere, Steph's in a panic as there's food and drink critic from the Chester Herald's visiting Mobs at some point in the day. She's not impressed when Cheryl rolls in late, but her words falls on deaf ears as Cheryl's distracted watching a topless Calvin as he works on rebuilding The Loft.

Unable to concentrate on anything but Calvin, Cheryl makes him a smoothie and heads over to see him but he's a little scared by her overly-forward manner. Steph orders Cheryl back to work, but she's soon distracted again when Hayley arrives with a letter for her - she's being evicted from halls.

In support of Cheryl, Hayley goes to talk to the accommodation office but the girls end up arguing when Hayley makes the situation worse and Cheryl's left homeless. Steph's unsympathetic and is on the verge of sacking Cheryl before she has a change of heart and gives her another opportunity the following day. Believing her day's been a complete disaster, Steph's thrilled when she discovers that Mobs has been given a high score by the critic.
