Hope Parker (Olivia Sofie Newman) Curtis is resentful
to the team and Phil for their lack
of support when he was accused, and is thinking of leaving. Fletch is not
thrilled with Abi’s plan to bring
Curtis and the team together with a dinner party, and when Tash suggests a
theme, is shocked to find his downstairs decorated in a Moroccan style. At
the same time, HUTV are televising the Harchester fans forum, with Phil, Patrick and Curtis, who
shows he is in no mood to forgive the chairman. Curtis makes it clear that
the only person at the club he felt supported by was Patrick. Fletch sets up
a game of Truth or Dare to liven the night, and when Robbie can't reveal who
the married woman he is having an affair with is, Tash makes a hasty exit,
adding to make sure Robbie gets enough sleep before tomorrow's shoot. The
discovery that Robbie has a hair gel advert is too much for Fletch and the
lads, who have just the right dare for Robbie! After Patrick
drops the idea that signing Mendoza with all
his injuries was the chairman's decision, the forum descends into chaos, with
it put to Phil if he really cared about the club he would resign. Phil
confronts Patrick on how he stitched him up there, adding to Jacqui he won't be
seen as the football fan who won the lottery and things are going to change.
The next morning Tash gets a shock when she sees Robbie’s 'dare' - a purple dye streak through his hair! Phil
finds a still hungover Tara in his office,
where she presents him with the tape of Unable to get
the dye out in time, Tash mastermind's pitching the style to the advert's PR woman as Robbie's commitment to the club that will set a trend. Jeff is furious to
learn what Patrick did with When Trevor
backs up Patrick, Phil can't understand why Patrick would want to injure one
of his own players. Jeff shares with him that Patrick was in the consortium
to buy the club before Phil got in, and Phil knows Patrick is trying to take
the club from him. Patrick doesn't deny it, but claims it's because he loves
the club. Phil says there has to be trust between a manager and chairman and
thinks it is time they parted company. Karl wants his own time with Abi and
when she has been left with Hope, he offers to take her back home. Inside the
Parker's, Fletch calls for Tash, and looking in the bedroom, sees Robbie and
Tash in bed together! Patrick turns sinister with Jacqui, reminding her he
has proof of her bet with the necklace, but she nothing of his. Patrick tells
Jacqui she will stop Phil sacking him, and how he now owns Jacqui who will do
whatever he wants! Notes: Best Known For: Ian Ashpital's credits have included
