Further details

The Gallagher unit is rocked when an unexpected visit from the social services catches them off guard. Debbie's worst fears are confirmed when she returns from a night out to discover Liam and Stella taken into care.

The Gallaghers fall apart, and in the aftermath Debbie unleashes her fury on Frank. This propels him on an almighty bender, but can Frank realise the solution to their problems won't be found at the bottom of a pint glass?

Every teenage boy's fantasy becomes reality for Chesney when he is introduced to a married housewife who pops his cherry. Soon he discovers that love isn't always straightforward as he slowly unravels the truth about Lorna's intentions.

Joe offers to drop the charges against Mimi on the condition that Mandy gets back with him. With no other options, Mandy takes Joe back with the intention to leave him as soon as the charges are dropped.

The rest of the Maguire clan have serious doubts that Mandy will stay true to her word, while Jamie and Karen finally reconcile.
