Howie (Delroy Atkinson) has been strapped for cash in recent months after his postman shifts were reduced.

He faced embarrassment when Denzel (Jaden Ladega) asked Kim (Tameka Empson) to help pay for the music festival that he and his friends were going on, knowing that his dad likely wouldn’t have the cash to pay for it.

His embarrassment continued when he overheard Kim talking to Denise (Diane Parish) and Yolande (Angela Wynter) about his lack of money, with Kim lamenting how different their relationship was to her one with her late husband Vincent.

When Patrick (Rudolph Walker) decided to place a bet on the horses to fund his wedding, he won himself £6,000, but a troubled Oscar broke into No. 20 and stole it.

Howie caught a glimpse of Oscar’s ankle tag as he made a run for it, and later blackmailed Oscar into handing over the cash – and as things currently stand, Patrick has no idea that Howie ended up with his winnings.

This week, Howie splashed most of his remaining cash on a new car for Kim – something he’s set to regret next week when Kim accidentally destroys her camera equipment, putting her Kimfluencer business in jeopardy.

Feeling like he needs to step up and help her replace her cameras, what will Howie do now?

The next day, Howie gets a new job delivering parcels – will a legitimate job help him raise the cash, or is there another twist in Howie’s tale?
