Next week, Linda arrives from Portugal and thanks Gemma for thinking of her.
Linda also kindly offers to pay for the wedding catering. Gemma is delighted, but her mum Bernie – who didn't get along with Linda last time she was in town – is livid over the extravagant gesture.
Later in the week, Roy Cropper tips off Gemma about how he spotted a couple of suits at the charity shop, which should fit Chesney and Joseph. Gemma orders Chesney down to the shop to investigate.
Linda is unimpressed when she spots Chesney and Joseph wearing their second-hand wedding suits, branding the dated style terrible. She offers to buy them new ones instead.
