David Wicks | [February 7th 2014]

Carol tries to imagine what she’ll look like without hair. She looks for David but he’s not in Tiffany and Whitney’s room. Dot’s brought Carol magazines for her chemo session and Liam’s lent her his MP3 player. Bianca asks if she’s feeling alright. Carol puts on a brave face, she’s just glad she’s finally able to do something. Carol’s surprised when David comes back with, amongst other things, water, lip balm and a lavender pillow for her. Carol allows David to drive her to the hospital and come as far as the waiting room. He reminds her about Clive Salisbury’s fourteenth birthday party–she looked after him, now it’s his turn to look after her. But Carol still won’t let him come into the treatment room. Carol’s horrified when David walks in while she’s having her chemo and wearing the cold cap. He insists she’s beautiful, strong and brave and she admits she’s terrified. David assures her they’re going to fight the cancer together. But when he’s alone, David makes a covert phone call. Back home, Carol’s disappointed when David goes out. He later calls Carol and tells her to look out the window. When she does, she sees him standing in the window of No.43. David explains he’s going to rent the place to give her some space. Terry arrives with flowers and tells Carol Danny and David are sorting out paperwork in the Vic. Carol rushes over to the Vic, still in her pyjamas, stops David signing the rental contract and asks him to marry her. Thrilled, he accepts her proposal.
