Who are the Stephenites?

Are they some kind of religious cult or something?

Yes, they worship at the high altar of McCoys hanging on to their leaders every utterance, rumour has it that they will be rescued from the Earths destruction by reenergising their mortal bodies on the tail of a passing comet.

And all of a sudden, Dolores and Maeve are best friends forever :rolleyes:

Vivienne is exhausted from questioning by D.I. McCabe as her interview continues. D.I. McCabe decides to interview all of the Bishops when they arrive at the station to pick their mother up. Paddy's death gets to Decco as he gives his interview, but he gives nothing away. The Bishops rally around one another, trying to ensure that the murderer is not revealed.

Later, Decco, Zumo and Charlotte return home and brace themselves to enter the house as they are returning to the scene of the crime. Vivienne has been kept in for further questioning and Charlotte is sick with worry. The boys try to reassure her and Decco breaks under the stress of it all as Zumo embraces Charlotte, who is uncontrollably upset.

Meanwhile, Wayne struggles to find the right way and time to break up with Maeve. Oblivious to this, Maeve asks Orla to be her bridesmaid. She agrees, but is embarrassed at being asked at all. Orla insists that she has something urgent for Wayne to do at work as she is having second thoughts about telling Maeve. Orla lies to a broken-hearted Wayne, insisting that she doesn't love him and does not want to talk to him about their relationship ever again.

Elsewhere, Deegan gets an unwelcome surprise when he returns from holiday

.I. McCabe gives Vivienne one last chance to come clean. A shocked Ray defends Vivienne to D.I. McCabe when he finds out that she is one of the Bishops accused of killing Paddy. Ray berates himself for not fighting for Vivienne when he had the chance. Later, Vivienne is released by D.I. McCabe. Decco tries to talk Zumo into attending a service for Paddy, insisting that he needs to be there for his gran's sake. With the brothers at odds, Vivienne enters Monastery Avenue for the first time since she sat with Paddy's dead body.

Vivienne's children are delighted to see her, but are interrupted by Eileen arriving back from Spain. She marches over to Vivienne and demands to know what's happened to her son Paddy…

Meanwhile, Maeve is ecstatic as has secured a cancellation from the registrar's office for a Valentine's Day wedding. Orla feigns excitement and goes with Maeve to discuss arrangements for it, as she is her bridesmaid. Later, Wayne reminds Orla that she said she loved him and insists that he can't pretend they never slept together. Orla lies and insists the intimacy they shared meant nothing to her.

Elsewhere, Leo struggles to adjust to his new tenants

Vivienne is worried that Charlotte will blurt the truth out to a grieving Eileen when she discovers them chatting in the middle of the night. Eileen tells Charlotte that she thinks Vivienne murdered Paddy. A shocked Charlotte tells her that it isn't the truth. Vivienne tries to reassure a distraught Charlotte about how they must stick to their story about Paddy's murder and she comforts her with a steely determination when Charlotte breaks down, unable to cope with to Eileen's questioning. The boys are not happy when Vivienne later insists that Eileen should not be told the truth about Paddy's death. She reveals to them that when Paddy stabbed her previously, Eileen defended Paddy and blamed her for it.

During the funeral, Eileen admits that she could have done more for Vivienne over the years, but Paddy was her baby boy who she would always stand by. Suddenly, Charlotte bursts into the crematorium. She goes to hug her gran as Vivienne tries to comfort her. Eileen comforts a distraught Charlotte and holds her hand, while Zumo - who is standing at the back of the crematorium - is unable to take anymore and leaves.

Meanwhile, Wayne makes a heartfelt plea to Orla to own up to having feelings for him. Orla is aghast and calls Wayne stupid when he proposes to marry her. She is incensed that he thinks he can just break up one engagement and start another one with her. Later, Wayne professes his love for Orla, who gives into her feelings for him and they kiss passionately. Wayne and Orla despair at the thought of breaking Maeve's heart and they realise there is going to be no easy way to break it to her.

Elsewhere, Leo has trouble with his aura.

Charlotte is bullied by school friends in the Hungry Pig, who antagonise her about one of the Bishops killing their dad. Vivienne comforts a traumatised Charlotte, who bursts into the surgery and disturbs an appointment with Kerri-Ann. Charlotte insists that she cannot go back to school. Rachel arrives in pursuit of Charlotte and explains how the Ryan girls were being mean to her.

At the same time, Paul fishes for information from Ray whether John Deegan has said anything about the Bishops. Ray tries to read between the lines as Paul encourages him to visit Vivienne. Bob and Esther are discussing the conflicting story surrounding who was present when Paddy was stabbed. They speculate over what would have driven one of the family to kill him.

Meanwhile, Wayne is still planning to break up with Maeve, but he's unable to do so when she gets the news that her father has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer and he has been given a few months to live.

You're right. It'll be a blatant rip off of the 'Who Shot Mr Burns' storyline from The Simpsons.

agree with this.

don't think they will be able to stay quiet either

I think that

no matter what way the Bishop story line goes (with or without the intervention of Stephen) I am confident that the whistles of Carraigstown will be continued to be wetted by that most charismatic, community aware, award winning banoffi pie maker and pint puller extraordinaire, the one, the only... Stephen

Viv is working overtime today. She's just been on that afternoon programme with Daithi Kerryman and Maura Makeover.

its been a hard slog since thursday, but we are nearly there.. Carraigstown is in sight!! The good thing about the Payne/Orla/Maeve storyline is that much of it should take place in the pub, so Stephen will be able to wow us with his effortless barmanship!

Whenever I see herself and Mondo all smiley-wiley, I expect Jedward and Linda Martin to jump out from behind the scenery singing panto songs.
