However her happiness was about to change when the following morning Jessie found them in bed together.   Meanwhile Emily's decision to accept Tim as her boyfriend also caused arguments in her family, after Jessie found them kissing. Both Jessie and Nikki felt Tim was to old for her and were concerned about her seeing him. Jessie was furious with her grandaughters recent behaviour, and decided she should move into the bungalow where she could keep an eye on both of them.     Later in the week Ryan returned from Scotland to tell Katie all about his daughter Lia and his ex girlfriend. Katie was disappointed with Ryan's conversation when all he could talk about was Lia and Abby. Finally she felt she had heard enough and asked him to leave. On Friday Katie turned to Luke for someone to confide in. During their conversation Luke asked Katie whether she'd made the right choice by deciding on Ryan as a boyfriend, then prepared to kiss her. Although Katie had got some feelings for Luke she was afraid to take things any further with him as she risked hurting Ryan, but was also concerned that Ryan may eventually return to Abby anyway.
