Further details

Donna visits from London because she's missing her Runcorn roots and tells Janet all about her new boyfriend, Wesley. Janet, however, is dubious because, from what Donna is saying, he sounds like a bit of an idiot.

Elsewhere, Gaz applies for parental responsibility for Corinthian but, at the opposite end of the scale, Louise is struggling as a new mum - forgetting she has a baby and constantly leaving baby Louise behind whenever she goes out. Tim tries to help her out by advising her on how to be more caring and responsible.

Wesley later turns up and is, indeed, an idiot - offending everyone in The Archer and demanding that Donna chooses between her new life in London and her old life in Runcorn.
