Grandma's House

It has been six months since the death of Grandpa, and Simon is living with Grandma. He has lost his presenting career and London flat but is now set to act in a low key BBC comedy. Tanya and Liz haven't spoken to each other since their father's funeral.

Simon has been living with Grandma in Gants Hill for some months now and is beginning to feel it. Liz's husband Barry makes a rare appearance as they strive to spend some quality time together.

Having landed a role in the Tempest, Simon is focusing on trying to cry. Meanwhile Grandma is having trouble coming to terms with the death of her husband and Tanya has arranged a thrilling surprise for her own birthday.

Simon's Tempest rehearsals have been going well. There seems to be chemistry between him and the talented Ben Theodore, and there's even talk of a possible date. The rift between Liz and Tanya threatens to deepen as Clive arrives with some rather upsetting news.

Tanya is thrilled when Simon finally makes his big TV comeback, albeit a short interview to promote his play. Simon is starting to feel validated as an artist - however, a tiny, off-the-cuff comment he made about an opera singer's tumour has been picked up by a popular newspaper.

It's Tanya and Clive's wedding day again, but Simon has other concerns as he is given a lesson in tough love. His play is also in jeopardy since director Ben Theodore has suddenly dropped out.
