Wedding bells are finally ringing for Duffy and Sharon and after all the traditional marriage day hang-ups, all they want is to be alone. But fate has yet one more trick in store.

Honeymoons should be unforgettable. Well, Duffy and Sharon will always remember their honeymoon in Majorca - but not for the usual reasons!

Mrs Abbott exerts her authority over Frankie once too often. It changes him into a latter-day "Red Shadow" and he gallops off with Celeste (his new girlfriend) to the registry office . . .

Sharon has a little secret. Unfortunately it is somewhat difficult to share with Eric when they are not even talking . . .

Duffy and Sharon are engaged and looking for a home of their own. They think they've found one but Frankie Abbott loses them the chance to buy it. Full of remorse, Abbott sets out to try and make amends.

Taking a girlfriend home for the first time is always a nerve-racking experience. But whenh you have a mother like Frankie has, the confrontation is particularly difficult!

Craven has been walking the tightrope of life too long, and naturally it is the idiot Abbott who makes him lose his balance. The question is - can Duffy provide the safety net?

Duffy has taken Craven on as first assistant painter, but their industrial relationship is soon put under strain. Something has to give, and it looks as though the result might be a rise in the unemployment figures.
