Bradley admits the truth to Max and Jack

Bradley's anxious when he spots DCI Marsden on the Square but Stacey reminds him that they have to continue acting normally, otherwise the police will realise that something's not right. Back at the Slaters', Bradley's panic-stricken as he reveals that he can't stop thinking about Archie and the events of Christmas Day - and secrets are always exposed. Stacey tries to reassure her fiancé and insists that their family's the most important thing now. Later, Jack turns up at the Car Lot and in front of Max, bluntly asks Bradley why he has blood on his hands at Christmas. As Max argues with Jack about his accusations, the pair turn to see that Bradley's disappeared - just as Marsden turns up. Jack refuses to talk about Archie and a suspicious Marsden soon leaves. With that, the Branning brother splits to find Bradley.

Finally finding his son, Max questions Bradley about the source of his mood swings, insisting that he should finally be happy. At that moment, Bradley states that Max wasn't the only guy to take his midlife crisis out on Stacey. Confused, Max quizzes Bradley about his comment and Bradley affirms that Stacey was mentally stable during her affair with him - and she was never forced. Max continues asking who forced Stacey to have sex with them and at that moment, Bradley shouts'Archie Mitchell', before running off just as Jack arrives. Piling into Jack's flat, Bradley blames Jack for stirring up the Archie situation again, while Max and Jack implore him to tell them the truth. Breaking down in tears, Bradley begins to reveal all.

Admitting that Archie's the father of Stacey's baby, Max directly asks his son if he killed Archie. A thoughtful Bradley finally answers - he didn't touch The Vic bust but did punch him as hard as he could, hence the blood on his hands - he wanted Archie dead…

Meanwhile, Bianca prepares for her hen do and as she does, she hears a trumpet sound - it's Sonia! The pair discuss Manchester life and talk soon turns to their mother Carol attending the wedding. Bianca, however, is dismissive of the situation. The women of the Square turn up for Bianca's hen party, which Sonia's filming. As Bianca claims that Ricky's always been her soulmate, Whitney questions whether her father Nathan was ever in the frame. As Bianca's about to answer, there's a knock at the door - it's Fatboy with Leon, Bianca's stripper. Bianca's disappointed to hear that Martin and Rebecca aren't attending the wedding, while Sonia rejects a call from Martin. A drunken Bianca soon heads upstairs in Leon's arms.

About to leave, Zainab goes to retrieve her coat from Bianca's room and she's shocked to hear giggles from within. She's further surprised to see Leon in Bianca's bed with a pair of women's feet dangling out the end, with a chipped toenail…

Elsewhere, Whitney tries to dump Todd; there's a chemistry between Whitney and Billie; Billie sabotages the hens' punch; Ronnie starts drinking heavily in The Vic; Dot discretely puts Tiffany's bridesmaid dress that Dotty stole under a pile of clothes at Pat's house, before leaving; Fatboy winds Roxy up by suggesting that they could make money on the basis of Archie's death; Manda's adamant that Minty's having an affair; Heather and Shirley find Zsa Zsa waiting on their doorstep; and Bianca finds Tiffany's missing bridesmaid dress.
