Brookside Page updated every weekend Week Commencing 6th February 2000 This week Rachel tried to get Katie and Jacqui to resolve their differences, and arranged for them all to attend the bridal fair together. When they arrived Jacqui was annoyed to see Deborah had invited herself along, and although Jacqui had no intentions of buying her dress just yet, Deborah still managed to create a tense atmosphere, by making comments about every dress Rachel picked out for Jacqui and said she preferred to look at the more expensive ones. She also made nasty comments about Rachel's wedding plans as she compared them with Jacqui's plans for a big society bash. However it was not long before the girls were all arguing, when Jacqui and Rachel realized they had booked their weddings for the same day. Deborah told Rachel to make other arrangements causing Katie to answer her back. Then Jacqui's turned on Katie, calling her a vindictive cow. Victoria decided to hold a wake for Mark to celebrate his life. At the wake Victoria seemed to be taking an interest in Dave's line of business as she headed off for the toilets in Bar Brookie for an intimate night alone with him.       Meanwhile in the Bar Katie and Jacqui were having a slanging match, after Katie accused her of dumping her best friends just like she did with her baby. As the argument turned into a fight Jacqui slapped her while Katie hit back and told her she's a snob. As Katie grabbed a clump of her hair they start scratching at each other. With tables being thrown about, it was down to Mike and Nathan to split them up.  Also this week Emily stole Lindsey's handbag. Lindsey was disappointed to find Shelley with Paula and decided to try and make her jealous by flirting with Max. Lindsey later threatened to tell Susannah about their time spent together. When Max offered Lindsey a shoulder to cry on as they had a heart to heart Susannah jumped to the wrong conclusion, seeing them behaving so friendly towards each other. Mick continued to worry about Gemma, while Mike struggled to cope with Beth on his own.
