Julie awaits her interview, and Katie has some bad news for Kieran.

Julie finds her spirits being a bit too lifted after Gavin gives her the Valco manager's handbook. Andy wishes he had never signed up to run the marathon.

With Gavin away for the day, Julie jumps at the chance to take charge. Trouble looms, however... Meanwhile, Andy bumps into a butcher he's had a beef with in the past.

Gavin's got some serious amends to make after Lou uncovers his devious plan. Brian gets more than he bargained for when he opens a pharmacy consultation room.

Kieran isn't his usual cheeky chappy self after spotting Katie flirting with a shop fitter. Plus, Julie tries to help Gavin move on.

Gavin's in for a shock as his mum pays a surprise visit. Katie takes on the staff's appraisals. And she doesn't hold back when it comes to Colin.

Gavin makes the ultimate sacrifice in a desperate bid to fix things with Cheryl. Oblivious to the tension, Colin and Lisa plan their stag and hen dos.

Kieran's girlfriend has a big question to ask him, and Gavin isn't his usual self after getting, ahem, trollied the night before.

Gavin struggles to hire a night manager as Valco gets set to open 24 hours. Scatty candidate Lou applies. And she could just be the final straw.

Julie is in a right pickle when the new area manager and an old friend calls in a favour. Elsewhere, Kieran gets some stick for his 'beard'.

It's the launch of Valco 24 and Lou's got a stunning night display up her sleeve. Hot newbie Craig means Linda's keen to work the first night shift.

Gavin's out for answers when there's a fire during the night shift. Meanwhile, Lisa tries to make Colin's childhood dream a reality.

Julie's predecessor, Leanne, pops in - much to her dismay. Margaret attempts to succeed on the tannoy.

Valco have rolled out a new uniform and Cheryl is delighted to see that Gavin has turned a real corner when it comes to coping with change. That is, until CEO Brendan O'Connor pays an unexpected visit making an announcement that leaves Gavin reeling.

Things start to crumble as new worker Margaret works as cashier, and Julie gets upset as only two people want to come to her tea party.

Cheryl starts to seriously regret leaving Gavin in charge of the wedding plans. Katie's left to show Lou the ropes - and that's not something that proves easy.

The hit supermarket sitcom reopens for a second series. Julie is a bag of nerves when she meets Gavin's replacement, Lorraine Chain.

Lorraine announces her big plans for Valco and Julie is distinctly unimpressed. Plus, Kieran's day is likely to be brightened by the return of a familiar face.

Gavin doesn't feel missed when he returns for his first visit as area manager, not even by Julie. Plus, checkout girl Katie 'enjoys' her first day back at Valco.

Lorraine's crisis management skills are put to the test when Valco is struck by a bout of the flu. Meanwhile, a hungover Katie struggles to deal with Neville.

After one mishap too many, Lorraine tells Julie to give Leighton some bad news. Margaret, meanwhile, roots around her family tree and makes a big discovery.

News of Leighton's sacking doesn't go down well, and it's Julie who receives the brunt of the backlash. The No Nonsense range comes in handy for a pregnant Sue.

Lorraine ends up venting her anger Julie's way after a pleased Leighton returns to work. Katie lets Kieran know about the latest news involving her love life.

Gavin and Lorraine are as unlikely a pairing as Spam and ice cream but, with Julie on "sick leave", they're forced to work together

It's the day of the scheduled fire drill and Julie's still off, so Gavin steps in to brief the troops.
