Doug Potts’s life has been on a downward spiral since Gerry’s death. He’s broken thanks to the guilt he feels over Gerry’s demise.
Doug feels responsible for Gerry’s death, because it was his botched DIY job that led to the B&B being a danger zone.
Of course poor Doug’s completely in the dark about the fact that Gerry was actually yet another victim of evil Lachlan’s murderous campaign in the village.
When Gerry’s ‘uncle’ Terry arrived in the village, guilty Doug took him in – only to be repaid by Terry burgling the B&B and doing a runner.
So now he’s in bits about that too – and Pollard’s reaction to the whole mess hasn’t helped either.
Doug’s relationship with Diane is in tatters, after she confessed she holds him responsible for Gerry’s death – ooh she’s going to feel SO bad about that when the truth about Lachlan comes out.
And then there was Doug’s – ahem – encounter with Brenda.
Things are really getting out of control!
So next week, Doug’s feeling even more guilty about the secret he shares with Brenda. And when a surprise party is organised it looks like everything’s going to be revealed. Uh-oh!
Meanwhile Laurel, Bob and Brenda meet and in a terribly grown-up (and unlikely!) get-together they decide they’re going to make every effort to keep things civilised for the sake of the kids.
So when Laurel gets wind of what’s been going on with Brenda and Doug, she is NOT impressed.
After all, she’s just stolen Brenda’s husband, Bob, and now Brenda’s been getting saucy with Laurel’s dad! It sounds like a recipe for disaster to us. Just imagine those Christmas dinners – awks!
In true soap-style, it’s not long before Laurel and Brenda are coming to blows over Doug – in a spectacular food fight.
