| Five months have passed since the end of series 1...5 months of hell for Donna and Ian, whose daughter Holly is still missing. Tanya and Frank are in court...not because of Tanya's attack on Frank but because she claims he raped her! Jackie has had her baby in the States and is unhappily claiming that it's Kyle and Chardonnay's - how long will this continue as Jason is becoming suspicious about baby Paddy's true parentage particularly when he catches Jackie leaking milk.
Tanya withdraws her allegations against Frank but nothing happens because she convinces the court that he had mental problems. Ian faces being dropped from the team - especially when he left a game, without telling anyone, to follow a postman with a lead on his daughter's whereabouts. |

Famous quotes containing the word series:
“The professional celebrity, male and female, is the crowning result of the star system of a society that makes a fetish of competition. In America, this system is carried to the point where a man who can knock a small white ball into a series of holes in the ground with more efficiency than anyone else thereby gains social access to the President of the United States.”
—C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)
