With his daughter, Lucy (Anya Dewin), in need of a foster placement, Tim takes her in, but have the Metcalfes bitten off way more than they can chew?<\/p>\n Idris Nazir<\/a>\u00a0(Junade Khan<\/a>) wants Alya Nazir<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0(Sair Khan<\/a>) share in Speed Daal, and he\u2019ll stop at nothing to get it.

As Idris swoops in to help Dylan, he reminds Alya that the offer to buy the restaurant still stands.<\/p>\n Richie\u2019s in the dog house with his wife, Rachel, after his boozy night with Tim and heads home to face her wrath, while Sally comes home and buys Tim\u2019s story about a low-key night of board games with the lads.

Knowing that he\u2019s right, Alya heads to the restaurant and tells Leanne that she\u2019s selling her piece of the business.<\/p>\n Meanwhile. Sarah tells Kit that while she loves him, their relationship has to be over for the sake of his career.<\/p>\n Tuesday, August 11<\/p>\n \t\t Tim and Sally are haunted by what\u2019s happened, before Lisa Connor-Swain<\/a>\u00a0(Vicky Myers<\/a>) visits and tells them that Richie has been charged with the murder of his wife and that their daughter, Lucy has been taken into car, while Richie is claiming he acted in self-defence.<\/p>\n Alya shows Gavin, a potential buyer, around the restaurant, while Idris eyes them, darkly. With Gavin impressed and things looking positive, Idris follows him out to his car.<\/p>\n As Kit throws back vodka in the mire of his dumping by Sarah, Jodie approaches him and tenderly offers to buy him a pizza, while in the prison, Sarah explains to David why she broke up with Kit.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tWhat story are you most looking forward to next week?<\/p>\n Tim and Sally uncover a murderCheck<\/p>\n Idris continues to pull the stringsCheck<\/p>\n Kit struggles with a broken heartCheck<\/p>\n Sarah’s prison experienceCheck<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tSign up to The Soaps Newsletter – Weekly.
