In a heartbreaking twist Faye reveals her true colours and an altercation leaves Mary bleeding and unconscious. Will Mary be okay?
Mary falls victim to scammer Faye
Faye and Mary met on a dating app, with love blossoming after Mary came out to her friends and daughter Rhona. Mary quickly fell for Faye, and was even planning to leave the village for Ecuador with her.
But it’s becoming increasingly clear that Faye is hiding something. Is she telling the truth about the women’s shelter in Ecuador?
Ahead of this week’s episodes, star Louise Jameson opened up about the importance of Mary’s storyline. She also revealed the real-life terror behind the plot.

Speaking to The Mirror, Louise praised the importance of this storyline. “I think it’s incredibly important, especially for people my age who are terrified of appearing foolish. The scammers are amazingly clever and sophisticated about the way they go about emptying people’s bank balances.
“When I turned 70, it was extraordinary — it was like some algorithm had been alerted and ever since then, I would say at least twice a week I get a text, phone call or email offering me something at a ridiculously cheap price, or messages claiming they’re an alert from my bank.”

However, when she confronts Faye herself, she comes to realise that Faye is hiding something. As Mary and Faye grapple over an envelope of money, Mary falls to the floor, injured. Leaving Mary bleeding and unconscious, Faye makes her escape. Will Mary survive?
