GS: Curtis Alexander (Chucky Venice) Doctor (Jonathan Floyd) Tash visits her doctor and is given the news she is pregnant, which she has to contend with the possibility of Monday being the father. For more than a week Fletch has refused to return to the club, and it takes Lynda to warn him no club will touch him if it gets out he is on strike, which she will do. Tash knows she is going to have to inform either Jamie or Monday that she is pregnant, in order to find out who the father is. Fletch turns up to training, but won't take any instruction and is a disruptive presence. Danny can tell Tash has a weight on her mind as they discuss a contract, and gets it out of her that she's pregnant but doesn't know who the father is. Monday informs Lynda he knows Curtis is looking for a move back to the Premiership and can arrange a meeting today. When Jamie answers the downstairs phone, he learns of Tash's pregnancy as she speaks upstairs about her next appointment. When Jamie lets on to Tash, he even asks if she's sure the baby is his, and Tash bluffs that she's twelve weeks gone so it couldn't be anyone else's. Despite Tash wanting it kept quiet, Jamie can't resist telling Jeff he is going to be a granddad. Curtis throws Lynda and Monday an unexpected curveball - the club needs two strikers, and his brother Linton wants to get back into the game, so if Curtis comes so does he. Neither Monday or Lynda are happy with this, with Linton's bad reputation. Curtis explains that Linton has recovered from his breakdown and has been training with Leyton Orient for the last three months. He adds to Monday that it is his dream to play with his brother and asks him to come and meet with him. Lynda is thrown further when Fletch rocks up with a lawyer saying they need to negotiate Peggsy's contract - for Fletch is now acting as his agent! Andy Ansah, acting for the PFA who originally negotiated Peggsy's contract tells Lynda she has little option but to speak to Fletch. Monday watches Linton train and is impressed with what he sees, but will only offer a week's trial, needing assurance from Curtis that he will be there with his brother. Monday learns of Tash's pregnancy when Andrei talks of Tash ruining her perfect body. Fletch manages to wangle five-grand-a-week for Peggsy from an unimpressed Lynda. Lynda still has no intention of taking Linton, telling Monday the week's training is all he is getting. Monday doesn't believe Tash when she tells him the baby is definitely Jamie's. Tash arranges for Jamie to have a blood test at her Amniocentesis in order to find out whether the baby really is his. When Jamie hears from Andrei how his sister had the same test and miscarried her baby, he refuses Tash the test and she is back to square one. Feeling under appreciated as a client by Jeff, Danny now approaches Fletch to represent him. Lynda cannot believe what she is hearing when Fletch presents her with a demand for loss of earnings while he was incarcerated, plus compensation of a million pounds for the traumatic experience he endured. Fletch tells her it doesn't have to be this way if she'd just let him go and he'll stop. Lynda refuses to back down, so Fletch warns her it is going to get worse for her. Tash is left with little option but to now ask Monday for a paternity test, but Monday is not happy to learn if the baby turns out to be his, Tash won't be keeping it. Jeff learns that Fletch has poached his client, and makes a deal that if he can't get Fletch a move out of Harchester in the next 48 hours, he can keep Danny. Notes: First appearance of Linton Alexander (Robbie Gee) Best Known For: With more than 80 credits, Robbie Gee's early roles included another footballer Tony Morris in "The Mangeress" (1989-90), coming to prominence as Lee Stanley in the groundbreaking "Desmond's" (1989-94), sketch show "The Real McCoy" (1991-96), award winning "Snatch" (2000), amongst the DT alumni in "Mike Bassett: England Manager" (2001), lead Roly Crouch in "The Crouches" (2003-05), Ramanga in "Young Dracula" (2011-14) and "Paddington 2" (2017). The Best: Peggsy doing exactly as Fletch instructs him - to bat off any discussion from Lynda with how she should talk to his new agent. Jamie has a good training session, and puts it down to the fact he is going to be a daddy, which the team celebrate by singing “I Love You Baby” down the phone to Tash. Quotes: Fletch, causing havoc at the team’s training session, gives his reason: "You know I'd rather have stayed at home. Put my feet up. But our chairlady wouldn't have it. Didn't want to argue not with so many sharp objects around!" Soundtrack: Ash: "Sometimes", Backyard Dog: "Baddest Ruffest", David Gray: " |
