2753: Jamie stabs Blue

Hannah and Jamie wake up in their hotel room, oblivious to Darren's misguided interference. Back at The Dog, Darren begins to panic when Rhys tells him just how mental Blue is. Hannah returns to the hotel alone and walking into their room, she's horrified to find that it's been turned over.

At first, she fears that they've been robbed but when Blue appears, she realises that it's far worse than she thought. Blue tells Hannah what he's come for but she refuses to believe that Jamie has any of his cash. Hannah insists that Jamie's done with that lifestyle but once Jamie returns and sees the danger Hannah's in, he's forced to admit the truth, before trying to explain that he no longer has any of the money.

Hannah's disgusted he had it in the first place and lays into a pleading Jamie, while realising that she should have listened to Rhys and Darren. Jamie calls Rhys to prove that he's not lying but Rhys denies any involvement, leaving Jamie to face the consequences. A fight ensues and a helpless Hannah can only look on, unable to stop them.

Back in the village, a frantic Darren desperately tries to get to Hannah's hotel, fearing the trouble he may have caused. As the chaos continues in the hotel room, Jamie struggles to defend himself and as he reaches for a letter opener, Hannah can only scream in terror as Jamie lunges at Blue. As Blue collapses, Hannah and Jamie look on in horror - is he dead?

Meanwhile, as the Valentine's Ball looms, Theresa tells Anita that she has her eye on Ste as her date. The girls arrive at Relish with a glam Theresa, armed with a 'how to get your man' self-help book, hoping to seal the deal with Ste. Meanwhile, Newt's pleased that he and Rae are really getting on and as she tries to convince him to go the ball, he's certain that she's flirting. As they arrive at Relish, Newt's amused by Theresa's efforts to get in with Ste but the pair soon become green with envy when, according to Theresa's book, Ste and Rae are flirting with each other.

When Theresa accidentally-on-purpose spills a milkshake down Rae, the girls come to blows. Rae expects Newt to take her side but he's still miffed about her and Ste and makes a sarky comment instead. Furious by Newt's betrayal, Rae tells Ste that she'll work in Relish instead of going to the ball, leaving Newt in a bigger sulk than before.

As a favour to Theresa, Anita asks Ravi to put in a good word for her mate but it's not good feedback. Feeling bad for her friend, Anita lies and tells Theresa that it's good news - Ste wants her to save him a dance at the ball.

Elsewhere, it's the day of the talent show and competition is still rife between Steph and Cindy as they prepare Holly and Tom to win. Cindy insists that Tony give Holly a pep talk. Although he tries his best, it all comes out wrong and Holly's left more nervous than before.

At the show, Tom's comedy act goes down a treat with the audience, especially Tony, much to Cindy's annoyance. Holly's due on stage but sensing her nerves, Loretta assures her that it's not too late to back out.

As an oblivious Cindy brandishes a sash advertising Cincerity for Holly, it's finally too much and Holly flees the hall. Cindy eventually finds her and realising she may have pushed too far, apologises to her daughter. They almost make up until Holly lets slip Loretta told her she could back out.

A furious Cindy is outraged with Loretta's interference, ultimately spoiling any reconciliation with Holly.
