Poor Sally Webster is in deep trouble this week when she is arrested for fraud because of dodgy Duncan Radfield
Sally webster is all dressed up this week - as a clown! - for the family day party at Speed Daal. It's all fun and games until the police turn up to arrest her while she's still in costume.
This comes after she discovered conman Duncan Radfield ran off with £40k council money meant for his non-existent 'charity', which Sally naively fast-tracked into his account.
The police are now here to accuse her of fraud, bribery and money laundering in connection to the whole ordeal - blimey.
To make matters worse, Tim Metcalfe has made her look guilty by lying about the £1000 that was deposited into their bank account. Assuming it was an error made by the bank, he had said it was a bonus from Streetcars, unaware that it was actually a deposit from Duncan.
AND things go from bad to worse as Duncan is saying that he was having an affair with Sally. It's really not looking good for Sal, is it? But will an old friend (specifically Gina Seddon) be able to help her out of a sticky situation with the help of a top solicitor?
We'll have to watch and find out. Fingers crossed, Sal.
Elsewhere, Alya Nazir makes Carla Connor and offer she can't refuse, things get even worse for homeless Sean Tully and Rana Nazir's conscience is in tatters after lying to her dad on his deathbed.
And suave Lewis Archer makes a declaration of love to Audrey, during a prison visit. Aww.

Clowning around
It's the Speed Daal family day and Sally Webster is dressed in a clown outfit, hurrah! It would be impossible to look even sillier in front of the cobbles' crowds, right? Wrong...
No joke
Sally takes to the stage to thank everyone for the fundraising, when the police march in looking for her. Uh oh.
Sally is arrested
The police arrest poor Sal on suspicion of fraud, bribery and money laundering. (She's still dressed like a clown at this point BTW).
Who will help?
Sally pleads innocent, but Adam Barlow says he can't represent Sally as Imran Habeeb is representing dodgy Duncan Radfield.
Tim paints a guilty picture of Sal
Things get tricky when the police present Sally with copies of her bank account and demand to know why Duncan deposited £1000. Sally gets angry when Tim Metcalfe admits the money was not a bonus from Streetcars like he had told her. It doesn't help Sally's case that Duncan is saying he was having an affair with her, either.
Caught out
Sally and Tim decide to stake out Duncan's house to speak to his daughter but Duncan approaches the car and starts goading Tim.
Double arrest
Later, Tim is stunned when the police knock at the door and arrest him. Tim returns from the police station having been let off with a caution but he has a shocking admission for Sally.
What will happen to poor Sal?
Old friend Gina Seddon tells Sally that she's hired a hotshot solicitor who specialises in fraud.
Alya makes an offer
Alya Nazir realises the importance of family after watching Aidan Connor's DVD and offers to sell the factory to Carla Connor, who is delighted with the news. Problem: Carla is struggling to raise the cash, but she doesn't reveal this to Alya.
Peter's proposal (no, not THAT type)
Peter Barlow offers to give Carla the money she needs to buy the factory. Hmmm, is this a sensible arrangement, guys?
Offer accepted
Carla decides to accept Peter's offer. Afterwards, he tells her that he's going to be working alongside her. Well, we knew there'd be a catch.
New management
Homeless Sean Tully is shocked to find Johnny Connor and Jenny Bradley have taken over the Rovers and cut his hours.
Caught red handed
Desperate and depresses, Sean helps himself to a sly vodka behind the bar, but Jenny catches him. To make things even worse for poor Sean, Jenny says she has no choice to to fire him.
On the streets
Although Eileen Grimshaw expresses concern for Sean's living arrangements, he keeps his situation to himself and finds himself begging on the streets.
Sean's shame
Sean even has to hide from Rana Nazir and Billy. Mayhew. Aw, our hearts are bleeding for him.
Rana lies to Saira
Worried her father Hussan Nazir might die, Rana is desperate to see him. Kate Connor suggests she could pretend they have split up to change her mum's mind.
Saira snaps
Billy helps distract Saira Nazir giving Rana the chance to see him. Saira is furious when she finds out. Crikey.
Hassan dies
Saira FINALLY agrees to let Rana visit her father but as Saira tells Hussan that Rana has seen the error of her ways he squeezes his daughter's hand and passes away. Rana is wracked with guilt that she lied to her father on his deathbed.
Lewis: a changed man?
Lewis Archer does his best to convince to Audrey Roberts he's a changed man. He's proved it by handing himself in to the police and transferring £40k into Gail's account.
LOVE
Lewis tells Audrey that she's the only woman he's ever truly loved and reveals that he's due for release on Wednesday. Audrey's torn about what to think.

Here are the lessons we've learnt from soap weddings
Lessons we learned from soap weddings STACKED
1) Don’t have sex with your fiancé’s mum
Similarly to lesson seven (don't have an affair while you're engaged) we wouldn't recommend sleeping with your fiancé's mum.Holly Cunningham and Damon Kinsella haven't had the easiest of relationships; they only got engaged because he mistakenly thought she was proposing to him, then he cheated on her, she forgave him and shortly before their wedding day Zack Loveday confessed his undying love for her.After jumping all those hurdles you'd think they would make it down the aisle but before they could even say 'I do' Damon revealed he slept with her mum Cindy Savage.Oh and to make matters worse, her step-dadDirk Savage was electrocuted and died later that day.
2) Don’t say: "It’s the happiest day of my life
Those little words are all it takes to ensure that something absolutely dreadful happens and it actually being one of the worst days of your existence. And someone will probably die. Also goes for: "Everything's going to be ok", "I'll never leave you" and: "I've never been happier."Like in Hollyoaks when Max Cunningham promised bride Stephanie Dean: "It's all going to be ok." It obviously wasn't. The ink had barely dried on the wedding certificate when Max was mowed down by a car as he tried to protect his brother from being hit. Weep.
3) Don’t be pregnant
Unless you want your wedding thunder to be stolen by a newborn. If you're very pregnant at your wedding, prepare for your waters to break all over your nice posh frock. It should also be noted that heavily pregnant guests should be avoided for the same reason.Over in Walford, Janine Butcher, Ronnie and Honey Mitchell all said 'I do' while heavily pregnant. Honey's waters broke in church, Janine gave birth prematurely and Ronnie delivered her baby while in a coma. So, just saying.
4) Do ask the vicar to skip the 'any objections' bit
Because someone always pipes up. And they've never got anything nice to say. Especially Tracy Barlow.When her arch nemesis, Carla Connor, was set to get her happy ever after with Nick Tilsley, Tracy was only to happy to jump in and object. She revealed that the blushing bride had cheated on Nick with Robert.Tracy had a taste of her own medicine when Becky McDonald revealed Tracy had been lying about the cause of her miscarriage to hubby-to-be Steve McDonald. Only Becky held back and let the pair tie the knot before dropping the bomb. Nice work, Becky.
5) Don’t invite any long-lost relatives who have just turned up
You know they're only going to bring the police to your ceremony because they're on the run for murder. It's standard.That's exactly what happened when Robron tried to get married in the Woolpack in Emmerdale. Faith Dingle was arrested and the wedding nearly didn't happen. Luckily the boys got to say their vows in the end - and we've even heard rumours that they may have another wedding when Aaron comes out of jail. Best buy another hat...
6) Do marry in church – the Soap Gods prefer it
If Ronnie Mitchell had been more traditional and opted for a nice church ceremony rather than a hotel (with a pool), she'd have lived to tell the tale.Also it's worth bearing in mind to keep your wedding dress fairly simple. You know, just in case you have to leap into a swimming pool and fish out your sister.It's important to note that drowning in a church is very unlikely. Unless someone holds your head under the Holy Water.
7) Don’t have an affair while you’re engaged
Even if you think you've kept your secret pretty well, you can bet your bottom dollar that someone knows – and they've decided your nuptials is the perfect place to reveal all.Debbie Dingle learned this the hard way when her affair with new husband Pete Barton's brother, Ross, was revealed to all the guests at the wedding.Luckily (ish) the drama of the affair was diluted a bit when a helicopter crashed into the venue. Phew.
8) Avoid rooftops
Particularly in Walford. It never ends well.Both Bradley Branning and Stella Mitchell ran up onto rooftops on their respective wedding days. Neither lived to tell the tale.
9) Don’t forget that you’re already married
With all the excitement about getting wed, it's easy to forget some stuff. Maybe the rings, the something borrowed – or that you've already got a spouse. It's easily done, eh Max Branning? And you, Peter Barlow.Both of these chancers already had wives when they attempted to marry Tanya Branning and Shelley Unwin. Must've just slipped their minds.
10) Don’t lie about your child having cancer
Here's the thing, if you have to lie about your daughter having a terminal illness to make sure your betrothed actually goes through with the wedding, it's probably not meant to be.EastEnders' Ian Beale realised he was punching above his weight with Melanie Healey (who wanted to be with Steve Owen). He used Lucy's cancer scare to keep her by his side and even lied about her having cancer when she'd actually had the all clear.
11) Only marry someone local
If you go getting all cocky and start dating out of your post code, it's almost inevitable your hubby or wifey-to-be will be a serial killer. And that's best case scenario.When Corrie's Gail Platt met and married outsider, Richard Hillman, she didn't know that he would soon turn into the most prolific serial killer soap had ever seen.
12) Don't invite your ex
Who even does that? Well, everyone in soap to be honest. Phil and Sharon even had their wedding reception at The Vic, where of course Shirley is a licencee. And they wondered why it all ended in tears....
