Thamesmeerd

Ian has Gemma running around in circles on the opening day of OMG Crisps. Meanwhile, as the locals gear up for Thamesmeerd in Bloom, an unwanted visitor is making for a tense atmosphere in Nettles Street.

Rob’s in a state of shock after his brush with a silver car, there’s a gang making mischief in Bernicoff Street and there’s a shock in store for Ian at OMG Crisps.

Dream Themes have a sneaking suspicion that their former drummer, Cooper Cooper, is back in Thamesmeerd and wreaking havoc – not least with their entry to the Thamesmeerd In Bloom gardening competition. The wager between OMG Crisps and The Dishwasher starts to look like easy money for landlord Kris when he books local karaoke whizz Terry Tunes, while those hooligans from Chippington continue to terrorise the neighbourhood.

As he turns his rage upon the local pub, The Dishwasher, Dream Themes' former drummer (Cooper Cooper) seems hell bent on destroying the whole of Thamesmeerd! And with Maria due to give birth at any moment, it looks to be a dramatic Christmas in Nettles Street!

With Maria's little baby boy safely delivered by Dream Themes, the burning question on Biffbyford Street is the identity of the father. Maria's giving away nothing as the residents prepare for a New Year's Eve party to remember at Ricky Brown's Social Club: a double bill with Dream Themes and The Trumpety Pop Big Band!

Maria's still not letting on who might be Ally's daddy – but there are other things to worry about in Thamesmeerd. Where will Dream Themes go on holiday? Who will scoop the pub quiz prize at the Human Ostrich? And who's this, turning up at Heidi and Sam's house?
