Jim v Peter

Jim has set his sights on Peter and in prison there's nowhere for him to hide. Chris Gascoyne tells us what to expect.

"Jim wastes no time telling him that as a consequence of what Peter did," says Chris. "He can no longer supply the booze and tells Peter he better watch his back as he has made a lot of enemies.”

Prison is not the sort of place to be public enemy number one and Peter knows that life in there is going to be even more difficult than it was before.

"Celland warns Peter not to antagonise Jim any more or he will end up back in hospital. Jim then makes it very clear that he will make Peter’s life hell if he says anything about him supplying the alcohol."

"Which is fine until Tracy mentions that Steve is bringing Amy in to see Jim. Peter can’t hide his reaction and when Tracy quizzes him about why he is being so hostile he tells her that Jim was the one who supplied him with the booze."

"He urges Tracy to tell Steve the truth, he doesn’t care what jim does to him, he just doesn’t want him getting away with playing happily families when he can’t even get to see Simon and has lost everything.

"But after Steve confronts Jim, he storms into Peter's cell and starts threatening him. Luckily, the guards are hot on Jim’s trail, so it is obvious that something has happened and Jim leaves Peter in no doubt about what he will do to him and that there is a score to settle."

Chris says:

"It’s great working with Charlie Lawson. The prison is a set which has been purpose built, but it is very small and claustrophobic and it gives the scenes real intensity.

"Charlie and I are enjoying it. We do the scenes across one or two days each week and it is working really well."
