Meanwhile, teenager Amy Gilson (Ellie Bindman, who has appeared in episodes of Casualty and Grantchester) has come to The Mill to get some travel vaccinations.

Amy has just turned 18 and today her passport has arrived.

This means she can now legally follow her dream and go and live with her boyfriend, Gary in Goa.

However, Amy's mum, Michelle (Julia Riley) and her stepdad, Dean (Kevin Murphy) aren't too happy about the situation.

Dean blames himself for introducing his former work colleage, Gary, to his stepdaughter.

Plus, Gary is 20 years older than Amy.

What advice will temporary nurse, Cathy Jenkins (Laura Bayston), offer when Dean downloads about the family drama to her?

* Watch out for the return of Cathy Jenkins in this episode.

She is the same hospital nuse who Bear Sylvester (Dex Lee) confronted last year about her racist treatment of his mum, Makeda...
